Good point though.
However it is also a failure of the @democrats.org at the National and State level in not making those connections multiple times BEFORE the election.
If we still have hearts we have to help them understand the lies.
There are too many really callous people in America. (Who have the temerity to call themselves Christian.)
Wisconsin is unlikely to be able to pull that off, though.

I'm not talking about being an expert but being at least reasonably well informed doesn't take that much time and money
They made the Hillary email october surprise sound super serious.
How quaint.
