Opinion: Democrats want Wisconsin so bad they put their convention there. It won’t help.
Tom Perez, left, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett raise a toast at a news conference Monday to announce the selection of Milwaukee as the 2020 Democratic National Convention host city. By Christian Schneider March 13 at 9:36 AM Christian Schneider is a reporter for the College Fix and author of “1916: The Blog.
Nevertheless, the Democratic National Convention decided to troll Clinton this week, picking Milwaukee as the site for the party’s quadrennial soiree in 2020. Not only are Democrats going to make sure their nominee sets foot in Wisconsin; they’re also bringing the whole cast of characters. Take, for instance, the Green New Deal, which would hammer Wisconsin’s agriculture- and manufacturing-based economy. Any proposal ridiculous enough to make House Speaker Nancy Pelosi roll her eyes will have about as much support in America’s Dairyland as skim milk.
Perhaps the greatest irony is that Milwaukee became a necessary convention venue specifically because of the work Republicans have done in the state over the past eight years. In 2008, Barack Obama won the state by 14 percentage points. By 2016, on the strength of reforms passed by state conservatives, Wisconsin went to a GOP presidential candidate for the first time since Ronald Reagan in 1984. And now, Democrats want it back.
And those government union reforms that Democrats ripped the state apart in an attempt to rescind in 2011 and 2012? New Gov. Tony Evers has introduced his budget plan and hasn’t laid a finger on them. It seems Perez’s suds-based pandering to unions during his announcement might be six years too late.
