We won’t drink to that
Coming to grips with mid-term defeat. A few observations: Can Wisconsin even be considered a purple state anymore? A battleground, swing state? Democrats control all three branches of government — including the state supreme court. The Marquette University poll got it right by predicting a 7-point David Crowley victory; the Democrat won the governorship by…

She dares ask whether Tom Tiffany should share a stage with the President Friday 06-05-26 for June Dairy Month in beautiful Chippewa County. Like all good…
