If last week’s elections in both Virginia and New Jersey provided a scare to the Democratic Party, then certainly the results of the latest Marquette University Law School Poll in Wisconsin—quite possibly the nation’s most important swing state—should be downright terrifying.
Wisconsin’s embarrassingly weak drunk driving laws are just a reflection of a broader problem.
While the incumbents on the Mequon-Thiensville School Board escaped being ousted in last week’s recall election, the grassroots campaign exposed why so many in the district have lost faith in the establishment.
What I have trouble forgetting is how that day underscored just how Trump and so many of his supporters have come to use the American flag as a prop for their false claims of patriotism.

If Republicans were to nominate a political newcomer with an easygoing style and a hard-to-pin-down agenda, as Virginia Republicans did with Youngkin, Evers would surely be more vulnerable.
