(6,044 posts)Reince Primus was the very active architect of Wisconsin's turn from a blue to a red state in 2010.
He had headed Wisconsin's Republican Party and then became head the Republican National Committee, where he came a kingmaker for Donald Trump and was then rewarded with the position of Chief of Staff to the president.
He has had an "amazing" career-before being dumped by Trump a few months ago.
There is little he does not know about winning elections and the inner workings of political campaigns, and how to raise money.
If there was significant Russian influence in Wisconsin. I believe he would have at the the very least known about it in real time.
