(9,090 posts)if wisconsinites and michiganders want to get republican attention they can protest at the universities
Uni of Wisconsin 5, Michigan St. 11, Michigan 7, Western Michigan 1 (republiconradio.org)
for the purpose of getting them to stop broadcasting sports on 24 limbaugh stations and probably a number of other rw stations. those stations are essential for everything wisconsin and michigan republicans do and will continue to cheer them on, make excuses for them, and support trump. they are their only real advantage because they're unchallenged in messaging.
if the GOP in those states were to pay $1000 for a 1hr infomercial 24 stations doing 15 hours/day are worth about $18 MIL/ week FREE to cheer on this bullshit!
republicans will freak out and attract media attention
those schools need to reread their mission statements
even just a discussion about it will cause advertisers who dont support trump and this crap to desert those stations
WI and MI republicans depend on those stations every election cycle to get elected and reelected. they use them to presell their legislation and stop progressive legislation.
its all FREE paid for by advertisers that are often ready to find alternatives if given a push. and its all endorsed by those universities many of those advertisers would bolt if they thought there was a possibility the universities could start looking for alternatives
ex gov walkers emails showed how much he and the cons depended on talk radio. talk radio is their only real advantage.
