Wisconsin GOP Has Nobody For Senate Except Sheriff Clarke?
If ex-sheriff Clarke is the GOP's Senate candidate in Wisconsin, Democrats should nationalize the race.

Wisconsin senator Tammy Baldwin could have a tough reelection fight in 2024: The Cook Political Report, Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball and other election observers rate the race as "Lean D" rather than "Solid D," and one May poll (admittedly from a GOP polling firm) showed Baldwin losing to a generic Republican by 3 points.
..........................

PPP’s newest Wisconsin Republican primary poll finds 52% want Sheriff [David] Clarke to be their Senate nominee next year compared to 7% for Eric Hovde and 6% for Scott Mayer. In head to heads Clarke leads Hovde 51-10 and Mayer 52-6.

Clarke ... has 65% name recognition and 52% see him favorably to 13% with a negative opinion.

In other words, Wisconsin Republicans really, really like David Clarke, the cowboy-hat-wearing Black right-winger who, as a nominal Democrat, used to be sheriff of Milwaukee County, at least on paper. (His full-time job, then as now, seemed to be making appearances in conservative media.)

Wikipedia has some of the highlights of Clarke's career:..........................

1. That might actually be a good thing.

He's such an extremist that he might turn people off, particularly independents or people who are generally apolitical. That segment is much larger than many realize.

2. Six years is a long time! -nt

3. Sure, but is he really a bigger threat than a less-nutty Republican?

Wisconsin is an interesting place politically. I'm not sure they're going to vote for an over-the-top fake like Clarke.
