We had a billionaire at the top of the republican ticket who had a discourse of some population populism. Also in the campaign, we saw differences of campaigns in the past in that sex and race enters in new andscourse different ways. Sexism and racism in particular were overtly discussed by candidates in ways that ways we had not seen in previous campaigns.

Theyre running against Hillary Clinton who didnt do great in the wisconsin primary on the democratic side. Hillary clinton lost the wisconsin primary by, like 13 points. So thats against her. Also in the primaries this year, more people turned out to vote in the republican primary than turned out to vote in the democratic primary in wisconsin. The kind of numbers can matter. Republicans in wisconsin have control of the state senate. Republicans have control of the state senate, of the Governors Mansion with scott walker.
