18. Their ads and the Elon Musk freak show totally backfired!

The ads were on everywhere, even our local progressive station, and featured Trump himself droning on and calling Crawford a "radical left lunatic" I think those probably did more to get people out to vote for Crawford than any of the Dem ads! Elon Musk was here like forever and that ridiculous 2 million dollar giveaway - I think it was sort of a lightning rod for a lot of us who are just sick to death of these meddling rich a holes and propagandists descending upon our state and inundating us with all this crap all the frikking time. Just leave us alone! The fact that the million went to president of WI young republicans was not lost on anyone - no way could that be a coincidence. WI Progressives/Dems/Independents may be slow to act/ react sometimes but we're not stupid!
