Tonight, Brad Schimel won his race… to be the biggest failure in Wisconsin (again). Wisconsinites once again told Brad Schimel they want nothing to do with him, and made sure he’d never see Wisconsin’s Supreme Court bench.
With a record as bad as his, it’s not much of a surprise — but we’re sure Donald Trump and Schimel’s billionaire funders might be a little shocked.
“Brad Schimel clearly can’t take a hint, but hopefully this time it sticks — Wisconsin wants nothing to do with him. Not even his out-of-state billionaire supporter could buy him this one. Imagine spending over $18 million and still losing,” said American Bridge 21st Century spokesperson Monica Venzke. “This is just a preview of how voters are rejecting Trump’s agenda of folding to billionaires. Republicans around the country have a choice: stand up to Trump, or lose.”
