From Wisconsin conservative James Wigderson:
Any discussion of Tuesday night’s election results has to begin with House Speaker Paul Ryan’s victory over recent transplant and alt-Right favorite Paul Nehlen.
In the closing days of Nehlen’s campaign he even said there should be a discussion about deporting all Muslims from the United States. His fellow bigot Ann Coulter campaigned for him. Breitbart News pumped his candidacy. Even odd talk show hosts from around the country started to believe the hype.
Ryan’s win was bigger than Congressman Ron Kind’s over his primary opponent, and about the same margin of victory as Congresssman Gwen Moore’s victory over the crook Gary George. When the alt-Right’s bigots took aim at the intellectual leader of the conservative movement in Congress, they failed miserably.
Wisconsin’s conservatives were tested in the fires of the Recall Elections and the Republican Party is now more united than ever. The party base has very high expectations for their elected officials, and are often not shown in expressing frustration. However, they’re not going to hand over the Republican Party to Donald Trump clones.
