Morning Shots: (Thread)
I love Cedarburg, Wisconsin, but… I have a modest suggestion for national reporters.

For some reason, all of them have been making a pilgrimage to this charming city in my backyard. It turns out Cedarburg is pretty Trumpy.

(2) But next time, you might want to visit some other Wisconsin suburbs, which have a very different story to tell. Perhaps you might consider visiting Bayside, Elm Grove, Whitefish Bay, Wauwatosa, or even my hometown of Mequon. Via @WisVoter ...
(3) "In Bayside, Obama won by 11 points, but Clinton won by 34.

"In Elm Grove, Romney won by 36 but Trump by 13. In Mequon Romney won by 31 points and Trump by 11. River Hills, Wisconsin’s wealthiest place, voted Democratic for the first time in at least 90 years.
(4) "In Milwaukee County, Romney lost Wauwatosa by 1 while Trump lost it by 22. Romney lost Whitefish Bay by 4, but Trump lost it by 33."

Most of the communities were once solidly Republican. FWIW: Wauwatosa is @GovScottWalker hometown.

Thread:
Ruy Teixeira has been making the case that Democrats need to move to the center, because it is the “center of gravity of American public opinion.”

A Wisconsin poll tested his thesis:

ON PATRIOTISM: “America is not perfect, but it is good to be patriotic and proud of the country.”

71% of Democrats and 93% of Republicans agreed.
ON IMMIGRATION:

“America benefits from the presence of immigrants, and no immigrant — even if illegal — should be mistreated. But border security is still important, as is an enforceable system that fairly decides who can enter the country.”

74% of Ds and 89% of Rs agreed

Trump would have Kevin McCarthy’s testicles in a lock box, next to Lindsey’s — and even Speaker Marjorie Taylor Greene would be loath to vote for anything that Trump would shadow veto.
So we’d get endless hearings into Hunter’s laptop, one or two impeachments of Biden, radical culture war legislation, national abortion bans, endless relitigation of the 2020 election, gridlock, government shutdowns, and perhaps even defaults on the debt.

Two years ago today (when Pete was 15 1/2 yrs old):
Every morning he would lead the German Shepherds on a ramble through the woods. He was the Alpha and an adventurer 1/6
But as he got older he knew his limits.

This was our ritual every morning:

He’d wake me up but wait at the top of the steps; he wanted to snuggle.

Then I would put my hand on him and walk him down the stairs…

Every time.

Pete liked the lake. But wasn’t a swimmer. 3/7
