Tony Evers Wins Democrat Primary for Governor

Tony Evers won the Democrat primary for governor. He'll be challenging Governor Scott Walker.



Thanks to the Democrats and their insane recall effort, Walker has been elected governor of Wisconsin three times.



Democrat Evers lacks sizzle. Well, that's an understatement.

Education is certainly an important issue, but it's far from the only issue.

The state's economic progress under Walker's leadership is undeniable.

Wisconsinites would be crazy to oust Walker and elect Evers as governor.

I know some recent polls show Evers ahead of Walker, but polls also showed Hillary Clinton was guaranteed victory in Wisconsin. Polls showed Ron Johnson was going to lose to Russ Feingold in 2016. Those polls, of course, were wrong.

This is going to be a very tough election.

Money from all over the country will be pouring into the state. The Democrats would love to take Paul Ryan's congressional seat, reelect Tammy Baldwin, and defeat Scott Walker. You can almost hear them drooling over that.

However, in Wisconsin, out-of-state money and the Democrat machine don't translate into victory at the polls.

Scott Walker made history when he won the recall election.

Ron Johnson prevailed in a race the Democrats believed was theirs.

And, in the sweetest upset of all, Hillary Clinton lost Wisconsin to Donald Trump, the first time the state voted Republican for president since Ronald Reagan's 1984 reelection.

On Tuesday, once again, millions and millions of dollars in out-of-state money couldn't deliver victory in Wisconsin. Leah Vukmir defeated Kevin Nicholson.

Yes, lots of money will be spent to elect Democrats in Wisconsin in 2018.

As we've seen again and again, money isn't everything.

Complacency is the biggest problem conservatives in Wisconsin face.

We can win and we will win, but not if we don't vote.

Hopefully, come November, Tony Evers will join Tom Barrett on the list of Democrat challengers rejected by Wisconsin voters and Scott Walker will be delivering yet another acceptance speech.
