LETTER: Tammy and Kamala are both guilty of ‘gaming the system’

To Ozaukee Press:

I heard that after 38 years as a career politician, Tammy Baldwin wants to retire.  Who can blame her? I wish her well. But what is not professional is to run in this Wisconsin Senate race and if elected retire a year into her term. That would leave Tony Evers to nominate an unelected Democrat to replace her and serve without receiving one vote.

This is like Kamala Harris, who was anointed by Democratic party elites after failing to receive one electoral vote in her 2020 presidential race. Her behavior is unprofessional and undemocratic. She was afraid to compete within her party.  Gaming the system, disenfranchising other serious candidates, and causing an exodus of famous Democrats in outrage.

Let’s hold Harris and Baldwin accountable for gaming the system, high inflation, and out of control government spending on illegal immigrants, causing us all perpetual, crime, gangs, guns, drugs, child trafficking and death to our children.

In addition, as attorney general  in California, Kamala Harris decriminalized shoplifting under proposition 47, disingenuously calling it the Safe Neighborhood Act to get it passed. Many families voted for it without understanding it. It brought homelessness and lawlessness to San Francisco.

Let’s not vote like California here in Wisconsin. We understand that she is pro-criminal, anti-law enforcement. We understand her failure to speak without teleprompters is a sign of weakness. Disingenuous again, she hides her far left policies to get elected while the Wisconsin election commission aids her by keeping RFK on the ballot to split the Trump vote.
