Disclaimer: I have meet Mandela Barnes several times and I am about to send money to his campaign. Mandela handily won the Wis primary to be the Democrats candidate for US senate against Ron Johnson. He accomplished this because the rest of the field of dem candidates, several with well financed campaigns stepped aside and committed to support Mandela.
However, Mandela spent much of his war chest during the primary and is now short of money to make it to the end of the campaign against Ron Johnson.
We all agree that Wis has brought many great dem senators to Washington DC. Wis Dems include William Proxmire, Fighting Bob Lafollette, Gaylord Nelson (the father of EARTH DAY), Herb Kohl and Tammy Baldwin .
However we have also been responsible for a couple of the worst senators in US history.
1. Joseph McCarthy, the founder of the the hunt for communists that resulted in Hollywood blacklisting, new censorship laws and the infamous senate hearings on communism. McCarthy would hold up pieces of paper and said he had evidence. of communists in government. In reality he had no evidence.
Important to note: Joe McCarthy and djt both used the same attorney Roy Cohn. Roy sat next to McCarthy during the Senate hearings and whispered advice to McCarthy. This is where djt learned to lie about everything. en.wikipedia.org/...
Roy Cohn was an American lawyer and prosecutor who came to prominence for his role as Senator Joseph McCarthy's chief counsel during the Army–McCarthy hearings in 1954, when he assisted McCarthy's investigations of suspected communists. In the late 1970s and during the 1980s, he became a prominent political fixer in New York City.[2][3][4][5] He also represented and mentored the real estate developer and later U.S. President Donald Trump during his early business career.
2. Senator Ron Johnson — The man that arranged tax breaks for three wis billionaires so they could donate more to his PACS. AKA a quid pro quo. Johnson was one of the senators to have dinner with the cuddly Vladimir Putin on July 4th, 2018. americanindependent.com/…
Stand with me to help Mandela Barnes make it through the next 5+ weeks. As of yesterday he was losing to Johnson by a single point. WE ARE TWO POINTS AWAY FROM KICKING Russian Ron out of the US Senate. Defeating Ron Johnson is not just a win for Wisconsin, it is a win to maintain a democratic majority in the senate.
