Walker's tweets show delayed call for GOP legislator's resignation

Another volunteer's flub or staff drafting error, perhaps?

To the record being made this morning about the offensive behavior of the Wisconsin Assembly GOP Assistant Majority Leader Rob Brooks, read Walker's official tweets carefully to see that it took him an extra hour and a second, edited tweet to later call for Brooks' resignation:
  1. Representative Brooks' comments are offensive and disrespectful. They have no place in our society and are inconsistent with the high standards that must be held by those in public office. He should resign from office, period.
  2.  2 hours ago

He was too busy tweeting a picture of a half-eaten ham sandwich along with a very greasy and disgusting looking brown paper bag. Walker is a "common man" doncha know...

(Who just happens to get million and millions of dollars from out-of-state multinational corporate interests)

Does anyone think Walker would have said anything if he wasn't down 7-10 points and the GOP wasn't losing female voters by 20?

Notice Scotty hasnt said a WORD about Kavanaugh's act, nor has he said anything about the Milwaukee Co GOP making a joke about RBG being groped by Lincoln.

Not an ounce of principle in the man's statement today.

Evers isn't up by 10 points and this type of wishful thinking gave us trump. Evers was annointed the nominee from day 1 by the media, just like Hillary was. There are reasons some key democratic voting blocks may choose to stay home if folks declare Walker loses before any ballots are counted.

I guess it's true, though I never believed the same factors that influence how events play out actually occur again. Those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat if.

The final margin of victory will not be 10 points and any poll now that says otherwise is not properly constructed. Evers only wins if people believe their vote will make difference and decide it is worth any hassles or roadblocks that discourage some voters.

Rachel Maddie and the entire MSNBC made the same mistake in 2016 ridiculing tRump's chances. Daily Kos had web banners proclaiming Hillary was a sure thing to win. Marcos was even an advisor on her team - big mistake. Michael Moore had it right and was crucified for speak8ng the truth.

The recorded official vote will be close and if communities that continue to see achievement gaps in their schools stay home, premature victory celebrations will give Walker a 3rd term. In 2016, Clinton underperformed in key traditional strongholds despite similar polling.
