Sanders to campaign for Baldwin in Eau Claire



EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WBAY) -- Former Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders will rally support for U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin's re-election in Eau Claire next week.

Baldwin's campaign has announced the Vermont independent will headline a Baldwin campaign rally on Saturday, July 14, at the Lismore Hotel.

Baldwin's campaign says the rally is open to the public but attendees need to RSVP on the event page of Baldwin's campaign website, tammybaldwin.com/bernie.

The campaign says Senators Baldwin and Sanders will "address the importance of putting working families first and fighting for affordable health care for all. Tammy Baldwin is the top target of powerful special interests as out-of-state groups and billionaire donors have already spent nearly $10 million to beat her, more than any other Democratic Senator up for re-election this year."

How is that possible? I thought midwestern Dems had to run from the scary hippie leftists with their crazy liberal proposals. I thought the only way to safely win in the midwest was to tell them all what they wanted to hear and never challenge any of the conventional wisdom? But what if the delicate "centrists" and "independents" get their fee-fees hurt?

Snark aside, good for Senator Baldwin. More of this.
