Wisconsin Senate race tied? Do voters know Ron Johnson wants to impeach President Hillary Clinton?

By Joan McCarter

Listen up, Wisconsin voters. You're giving Hillary Clinton a six-point lead in the latest Marquette Law School Poll. So what in the hell are you thinking here?

US Senate race in WI: New Marquette Law School Poll finds 45% for Russ Feingold, 44% for Ron Johnson. #mulawpoll

Here's some news that might help you. Ron Johnson wants to impeach Hillary. Really.

BELOIT — U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson said Monday he believes Hillary Clinton's actions with her private email server are impeachable offenses should she be elected president. "She purposefully circumvented it (the law), this was willful concealment and destruction," Johnson said during an interview at the Beloit Daily News. … "I'm not a lawyer, but this is clearly written," Johnson said. "I would say yes, high crime or misdemeanor, I believe she is in violation of both laws."

Wisconsin, do you really want to do this to the nation? Do you want to subject us to this dipwad for another six years? Do you want the House Freedom Caucus's dumber cousin in the Senate to aid and abet Ted Cruz? Again, what in the hell are you thinking?

We have seen a problem before, in Milwaukee where Walker controls the locals.



Get out the vote in Milwaukee, and make sure they are not rigging this Dem-rich city.

We have the ground game. My concern is they have their vote rigging machine in place still. There's little that can be done if the system is still corrupted.

I hope he comes out with an ad attacking Johnson for calling for Hillary's impeachment.

For over 2 weeks Johnson has been running ads trying to scare seniors away from Feingold
Feingold wants to take away Medicare , social security, etc. A commercial that implies he's corrupt that is why WI fired him in the first place, etc...etc...etc.... running constantly. The ads must have started having an impact. To top it off there hasn't been any ads for Feingold so all we were seeing was the negative ads.

7. Split Ticket

Doing some checking have learned that Wisconsin voters are generally not ticket splitters. This poll, along with the Target Smart poll in Florida (incorporated folks who early voted), suggest significant ticket splitting. Suggests Republican party voters crossing over to Hillary and/or Democratic voters uncomfortable with Hillary seeking to keep her in check.
