Wisconsin GOP ‘welcomes’ Bernie Sanders with billboardsBy M.D. Kittle / July 1, 2015
MADISON, Wis. – The Republican Party of Wisconsin is offering a big welcome to ultra-liberal presidential candidate Bernie Sanders for his Badger State sojourn.
The socialist Vermont U.S. senator who is making presumptive Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton increasingly nervous takes his wealth redistribution to Madison Wednesday evening. Some 10,000 people are expected to be in attendance, according to published reports.
RPW has placed billboards around the state “welcoming” Sanders, and the party has launched a microsite highlighting the “extreme” positions that Sanders – and now Hillary Clinton – have embraced.
Superimposing Sanders’ and Clinton’s heads on the bodies of famed idiots Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne from the comedy “Dumb and Dumber,” the billboard makes quite an impression.
Bernie steers the moped with Hillary riding behind (borrowing from one of the funniest scenes in the movie), with the billboard declaring: Hillary Clinton (and) Bernie Sanders: Left and Lefter. Yesterday’s Candidates –Extreme Policies
As the GOP notes, recent polls show Sanders closing the gap on Democratic Party frontrunner Clinton, prompting the former first lady, New York senator and secretary of state to “adopt extreme positions to connect with her Party’s base.”
Sanders has pitched a 90 percent tax rate on some Americans. Will Clinton go there, too?
“Bernie Sanders’s recent surge reflects Hillary Clinton’s inability to resonate with her base — and she’s desperately shifting to the left to win the nomination,” said Joe Fadness, RPW executive director. “Voters should be disturbed by the ease in which Clinton will sacrifice her values to appease hardline Democrats.”
At a press conference Tuesday, Sanders said he plans to draw on Wisconsin’s progressive roots, and believes that liberal spirit is spreading throughout America.
The Dem candidate’s Badger State visit comes as Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker prepares to launch a formal campaign for president.
Sanders will undoubtedly blast Walker’s conservative agenda in one of the more liberal cities in the nation.
