So.....if the same situation came up a few years from now, they wouldn't have a Senator in that seat representing their state until the next regular election? I wonder if it's because they were thoroughly embarrassed that a child molester almost won or thoroughly embarrassed that a Democrat did win. 1 Link to comment

They would have a temporary selection by the govenor serving. 1 Link to comment

Danny Bateman Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 It's legitimately crazy that we live in a time when a story like this - the second pol who used taxpayer funds as hush money after sexual assault allegations from a staffer - just flies under the radar. Or, the Larry Nassar case, for that matter. What's more, this guy just announce he's planning to run for reelection. 1 Link to comment

Danny Bateman Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Without rigging the game heavily in their favor, people like Scott Walker wouldn't be able to pass their awful agenda. The Wisconsin GOP is right up there with the North Carolina GOP as one of the dirtiest state parties in the nation. 3 Link to comment
Big Red 40 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) After reading some about Scott Walker and his awful agenda I’m left with the same question as with many other awful candidates who get elected . Why does anyone vote for these people ??? Your post gives me a little insight into that . Edited January 27, 2018 by Big Red 40 Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Maybe through all of this...people will start seeing their own hypocrisies. 1 Link to comment
