That is the pickle I’m in today. Wisconsin Supreme Court election.
Easy call for me: Schimel the conservative over Crawford, the full on Soros lib.

In November, voted for the Wisconsin Republican representative (Tony Weid). Representative meaning he is supposed to represent his district. The district is pink. What I don’t like is that he’s been representing Trump, not his people. When people are getting surly this early in a pink district, it doesn’t bode well for the mid term prospects of real conservatives, Republicans and Independent conservatives.

Each time I see the commercials showing Schimel is endorsed by Trump and Musk, I get that same indigestion feeling I got when I voted for Weid.

Is a vote for Schimel a vote for Schimel? Or is it a vote for Trump & Musk.

Do I want a continuation of a liberal majority in the state court? No.
Do I want to see Trump and Musk get credit for the win, do a victory lap, call it a mandate, creating even more destruction on the conservatives in the mid terms? Hell no.

Did you hear that Trump said people shouldn’t drink their own urine? It’s true. MAGA is against urine drinking.

Versus Musk's $25 million...

Those numbers above were what those individuals gave, just like Musk as an individual gave $3mil, not $25mil. And you were the one who said “Sucks that one human is permitted to spend so much money on an election in a state he/she doesn't even live in.”

Sounds like the folks protesting that they didn’t hire that billionaire (Musk) in the presidential election, but their side had more billionaires supporting their candidate, so it’s all ok if it’s their side that wins thanks to the billionaires.

You better check your sources. Most say $21 million. AP, Reuters, BBC, Newsweek ($21 million plus amounts paid to voters), Time, ABC, Fortune, Forbes, etc.

Musk gave $3 million directly to the Wisconsin GOP on top of his efforts through America PAC.

He endorsed Schimel in January and has donated $3 million to the Republican Party of Wisconsin to date. Groups linked to him, including Building America’s Future and his own America PAC, have also spent more than $17 million, according to the Brennan Center.
