In 2016, the Democrats and the media were astounded that Donald Trump carried Wisconsin. The Clinton campaign had been so sure it would win in Wisconsin that it didn't even bother to have Hillary campaign there. This year, the Dems scheduled their convention for Milwaukee just to show Wisconsin how much they cared about it. Of course, that convention was cancelled for the doom and gloom fest that happened last week.
Recent polls in the state had Biden up by 4%. Who knows how accurate that is. Still, we do know that the race is once again close in this state. Today, however, Trump may have won Wisconsin.
There are ongoing riots in Kenosha Wisconsin and the unrest is spreading to other parts of the state. So far, the Democrat governor and the local Democrat mayors have done nothing to stop the looting and arson and vandalism. This evening, there were even mobs armed with AR-15 semi automatic rifles that were confronting police as the riots continued. The police, under local command, backed off. As the rioting continues, so does the refusal of the Democrat candidates to criticize the rioters.
The impetus for the riots is the shooting of a black man by police in Kenosha. That's why Biden and Harris and the entire Democrat party remain silent about the ongoing riots. They are afraid that if they denounce the rioters and seek to stop the riots, they will not be "woke" enough. They will be acting as racists if they prevent this mob from inflicting major hardship on local residents whose property is being destroyed.
The citizens of Wisconsin do not support rioting. The mob certainly has its supporters, but the average person who votes in the state is not included in that group. In national polls, support for Black Lives Matters has already fallen big time since the looting, vandalism and arson has continued in many cities. At the moment, the BLM movement is under water. In other words, more Americans oppose it than support it. That's a reverse from early June when the focus was on George Floyd and not on arson in Portland or destruction in Kenosha. The media has downplayed the riots; they get little coverage on most of the mainstream media. There is no way that local Wisconsin media will fail to cover local riots, mayhem and arson. There has been big coverage across the state. And make no mistake about it, with each broadcast of the riots, Trump gains support and the Democrats lose it.
We will have to wait a week or two to see the full impact of the riots on Wisconsin. In the polls in two weeks, Trump should be up by 5-10 % over Biden. Indeed, a few more riots and the election contest will be over.
