big 👎 for poser ben wikler. he has been around for a long time but actually hasn’t done much for wi dems. ben Wikler will be the last nail in the coffin for dems nationally if he or rahn emmanuel are put in charge of the dems national campaign. When dems have won in wi it was won by voters turning out and bennie boy had nothing to do with us getting judge janet elected. ben lost us a senate seat every time ron johnson ran. Ben has not done much to get dems elected in wi in general & esp in rural areas. Ben also lost us a referendum as he never sent any emails out explaining what the republican jargon meant. nick ramos did send an email out explaining but not loser ben. Ben will end dems.
