Found here. Short version: Enough Sanders voters apparently didn’t bother to vote downticket on Tuesday. And the liberal running for the Wisconsin Supreme Court position paid the price.

If the vote in November was Hilary vs Kasich he would vote Kasich. I was surprised that a socialist second choice was Kasich.
I believe I’ve mentioned before that a feminist attorney acquaintance has described Kasich as “the least reptilian” in the GOP debates ..

Since she plans (has stated) that she intends to vote her .. nether regions .. I doubt she’d toggle over to Kasich, but .. he has *disturbingly* high positives ..

Bloody phone…starts to matter that much more.
