"SNIP..............


Unlike John Kasich, who had refused even to attend the Convention at all, or Ted Cruz, who did attend but refused to say anything at all in favor of Trump, Johnson was now actually campaigning for Trump against Hillary.

The next day, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel bannered “Koch brothers pull ad buy backing Ron Johnson”, and reported that, “A day after U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin spoke at the Republican National Convention, a group affiliated with the conservative Koch brothers pulled more than $2 million in ad time in the Badger State.”

In other words: immediately after one of their owned Senators campaigned for Trump, they cut off his main monetary lifeline.

This is a warning to any other Republican who might still be considering to campaign for Trump; it says, loud and clear: If you do that, you lose us.

5. They also, I am sure, are aware of two things:

First, Johnson's polls are in the crapper and Feingold is still very popular in WI.

Second, a Federal judge just tossed out most of WI's new voter suppression law.

The Kochs are two of the worst MF's around, but they usually can tell a bad investment when they see one. Senator Dumbass is the political equivalent of a bad investment.
