Aug 9, WI election: 2 Democrats vying for Paul Ryan's Congressional seat:

Just a day ago, Ryan Solen, the Democrat had not said he would support Hillary. DAH!! Then he made what I see as a snippy tweet when asked about his intentions.

Trump will undoubtedly lose this district, because McCain didn't even carry it in 2008 and Romney only won it by 4% in 2012. If Trump totally tanks, he drags Ryan down with him.

10. Ryan's seat is a very, very unlikely flip.

Even with a low Republican turnout, I don't see it as a possibility. I'd rather focus on closer races and open seats. I don't think we should waste time on districts that are a lock for a Republican incumbent.

11. It's far from a lock. Ryan is vulnerable and Solen deserves our support for both ...

... his character and his policies

Breau is a well meaning guy with little else to offer. Cool car though.
