They won’t admit that the divide is due to unrelenting lies and hatred spewed by the left. This includes the public sector unions (especially teachers) as well as several DA’s with their never ending (supposedly) secret investigations.
I haven't taken a position on Walker in the presidential race, but on the issues you mention above, perhaps he has not interjected himself because those are federal issues and Walker is a state governor, and as such has no ability to make changes in those areas?
Except that’s like saying get rid of SF and LA and California becomes a toss-up state.
The top 25% of incomes pay 86% of all fed income tax.
For the rest of filers, it’s either a EITC bonus payment, or a minimal amount.

Walker fighting ObamaCare, Amnesty would not be enough for you.
He could also take positions on Iran and Cuba and the likes of you would Say "What the hell, that lazy bastard never said a WORD while Ukraine was suffering".
You guys are a dime a dozen, and overpriced at that.
It is also important to realize that partisan division is *good*, because it gives scoundrels less maneuver room. Politicians are forced to voting for what they promised.
They are easier to “whip” in the legislature, so are more responsive to voters than lobbyists.
And, in the final analysis, when places are politically divided, the people get what they want, and its consequences. And this works far better for conservatives than it does for liberals.
I started to respond to your misguided post, but then I decided to look at your past posts. You hate Scott Walker as much as my socialist, teacher’s union neighbors.
“There’s also evidence that voters are “sorting” into politically compatible places as they move around and make decisions about where to live (polls shows Republicans and Democrats have different neighborhood preferences).”
That’s the way to do it, keep the liberals corralled in the cities/ghetto, and kick their azz anytime they cross the city limit line.
The benefits of that are two-fold, it keeps them from voting to raise your local taxes, and it forces them to pay to support their own stupid ideas. Getting mugged by the ghetto leaches they mine for votes is an added bonus.
If a liberal escapes the city enclave drive them out of your neighborhood. Don’t just ignore them and let them take root! Make them very uncomfortable, butcher a deer in the tree in the front yard, ask their wife if she ever had sex with a goat. Do whatever it takes.
As Obama would say,” We won so sit down and shut up.”
Exactly! They lost so SHAZAM!!!!!......”we’re polarized”!!!!
They do note that Milwaukee has the most partisan population based on votes, but don't ask how many of those votes were ballots pre-filled out or stuffed into the ballot box by the criminals running the Democratic party.
There is no reference (of course) to the criminal attempts to shut down the legislature by left-wing mobs, the criminal absence of Democratic legislators to deny a quorum, or the criminal acts of a Democratic prosecutor's "investigation" of Walker donors.
In brief, typical lying MSM scum.
Craig Gilbert, from deep in his own crevasse, comments on hardening “fault lines” in the Wisconsin political scene.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
“Wisconsin is even more polarized today than it was four years ago.”
Good! We fought HARD to take back our beautiful state from the ravages of Socialism. Eff em!
What is good in life? To defeat your enemies!
And believe me, in Wisconsin, the LUNATICS that reside in Dane and Milwaukee (and a few other assorted) counties ARE the enemies of Freedom!
Get rid of LA and the Bay Area (the entire SF Bay Area) and California is a red state.
And about as likely as Salma Hayek ditching her billionaire husband and calling me for a date....
I didn’t say it was likely. I just said if LA and the entire SF Bay Area were excised from the state, California would be red.
Would I like to see California broken up into three or more smaller states? Yes, I would, because the California conservatives (and they are not a small number, but smaller than the lefties) as it stands basically have no voice.
The sad part about Cali is that they export idiot liberals (like my niece) to states like Colorado, turning them blue.
But at the same time, Cali continues to get EVEN MORE liberal.
Cal + Ill + NYS = 104 electoral votes locked in for Dems without spending a dime. It’s a monster advantage.
Yes, but out of the three, IL has the best chance of going red.
