Why Dems Won In Wisconsin Despite GOP Attempt To Use Pandemic To Its Advantage | All In | MSNBC
Thank you Wisconsin! Don’t let those corrupted GOP steal your election.
This was a form of voter suppression,.
DempseyOne we didn’t
@Fifer McGee And that is why they are suing. I waiting in the cold for nearly two hours just to vote. I even saw people being turned away after waiting so long.
Way2go Wisconsin. The war to save democracy has begun
We gotcha!
I waited 5 hours because I was SO mad this happened. My health, and everyone’s I know…ridiculous. But I feel pretty great for voting 💙👍🏻💙 I’ll be back out in May Trump.
God Bless You! You Are My Hero!!!!
Thank you for for helping to send the message that democracy cannot be bullied into submission. I know thos must come as a shock to Trump, a man whos used to having everything spoon fed to him, this was needed. It was necessary. It gives me hope to know that the loudest and angriest voices are not the majority, that the silent majority are people who are led by their own values and moral compass, and as such refuse to be cowed into submission or to pull the line. This, I truly hope, is only the beginning come november
..we need to get this man and his cronies out of office. Remember, the Republican party we see today is a twisted imposter, they are not the party they used to be… Granted as a Democrat my values have never aligned with that party but at least pre tea party movement one could say both parties conducted themselves with a modicum of decency and respect even in the heat of competition…what we have now isn’t just corrupt, its utterly blatant corruption with trump and his lackeys attempting to rebrand it as some convoluted sense of “patriotism”. It is toxic and the message itself breeds toxicity for any who carry that maga flag…. America has always been great, it doesn’t need to be ripped apart for 1 mans self serving moment in the spotlight..
Thank you for risking your life to vote from Canada
@OpiateDream: In 4 years Trump has brought down one of the great leading country on the world stage. Now, it tearing itself apart.
I bet you welfare queen degenerates will be. #TrumpForPrision
“Oh it back fired in their faces” That’s great! Good job Wisconsin 👏
I want to express my gratitude to the voters in Wisconsin who stood in line for hours during these troubled times.
Ed Judd I think the rest of the country will disagree with you
I am Dutch and this shows, again, that elections should be changed dramatically.
When we vote we get automatically the voting slip in our postbox. Then we go to our voting office (in my case just a hundred meters from where I live.) You have voted within a few minutes.
Yep, the US system is corrupt and all but democratic.
@Ed Judd Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
Martin Luther King jr..
@BJ Smith That,s right. Think about what you just said. Your talking about Democrats
Ed Judd
You can tell a Republicant, they’re the ones with Orange around their lips and are carrying around empty Clorox and Lysol bottles, because trump told them to ( drink it, what do you have to lose )!
Inbred, hillbilly, bible beating fake christian’s, M.A.G.A.T hat wearing trash!
I’m South African, living in South Africa, and I’M proud of these guys. Their sacrifice and courage have made it around the world
@Revolution 2020 so because you can’t vote Bernie you’ll vote for Trump?
How does that make any sense? Do you really believe the Republican party cares about YOUR needs? You have to be some kind of troll right? i hope it’s worth it for you the rest of the US will make sure Trump trolls don’t win this year.
@Revolution 2020 wrong. The Republicans wouldn’t let us vote safely.
@erwin meester Trump 2020
You will like it even better, when china is in your back yard
@Ed Judd your president has a bigger personal debt with chinees banks then my entire country … china IS in your backyard and you’re to dumb to see.
HILARIOUS that the Wisconsin State REPUG’s lost the Supreme Court Race!! Luv it. Got what they deserve! 🥴
Yes but as long as we vote trump back in we will be so much better off! Are you kidding Biden he’s pityfull! Proud black man will be voting for trump!
rise up You honestly don’t think Trump is more pitiful than Biden? I feel sorry for you…Trump will ruin what Democracy you have left in four more years. Can’t you see that he’s a WHITE SUPREMACIST? 🥴
@rise up I do not know about proud, but your if truly believe that we would be better off with Trump one must question your common sense as well as you general intelligence
Good for Wisconsin, absolutely insane that they had to risk their lives to vote.
@Rick Keeton why do democrats hate america
Some of them literally so. I heard that seven voters are now infected. The Republican party will, I hope, find themselves confronted by class action lawsuits for their corruption
Can’t risk it Democrats love to cheat! Proud black and brown folk voting for trump!
No more than they risk their lives to go to work, the grocery store, the bank, etc. I look forward to a real crisis when the Dem herd is thinned out because they cant think or take care of themselves.
@Revolution 2020 There are only 3 states FL, IL, and AZ where voting is not postponed …other than the WI vote discussed in the video and which was a move on the part of republicans – not democrats.
From what I’ve read FL and AZ states had higher than normal turnouts by focusing on early voting and voting by mail in an attempt to reduce the numbers on the primary day so your “They refused to allow states to switch to mail-in ballots” isn’t making sense – besides, AZ is a Rep. state.
The IL Governor claimed he was asked to cancel in-person voting on March 17, change Illinois to an all-vote-by-mail state, and extend vote by mail to May 12 and he claimed those changes were not within his legal authority, which is true – it requires a general assembly to make amendments, though I suppose he could/should have broken the law as many other states did and dealt with it through the courts.
Edit: … just to be straight there were 4 states (FL, IL, WI and AZ) where voting was not postponed and 2 are Dem. and 2 are Rep. so your “The Democratic party has been forcing people to choose between their lives and their voices” isn’t really true but nice try.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Reporter: Do you assume any responsibility for Daniel Kelly losing? Trump: No, I never really liked the guy. He wasn’t a true Trumpster.
“…. a true Trumpster????????????
The party of trump is over you sets of criminals killers you-all judgment is coming and it won’t be long you bunches of wicked people’s I pray that the curse does not rollover to you-all generation to come you will sit in your twin size bed or bedside chair wanted to be dead and it won’t come because you all have to through the process very hard ever life you cost even in you’re unstable mind you will remember .and you will be tormented
I’m so thankful for the people who voted in Wisconsin. Your hero’s!
democrsts are traitors
Kamal Patal my pizza is burnt
Proud black man loving trump!
@rise up – Sorry but you can’t be both.
Wisconsin showed this administration they will not be intimidated
When the CORRUPT SELF-SERVING INCOMPETENT NARCISSISTIC so called leader tried to STEAL another Election, the people said ….vote your A$$ out!
Oh how surprised your gonna be! Proud black and brown people voting for trump!
rise up
What the two people of color he paid to be at his rallies and get in every picture? Bahahahahahaha 😂😂
Let this be an example to all right minded in America. Turn out and vote in November and cut this corrupt Republican cancer out of American politics.
“Republican” should be a bad word by now.
They should all hang their heads in shame. If a family member of mine died due to this virus a class action lawsuit would be filed against all these republicans.
Eeeeh I wouldn’t go that far. BUT this primary was a mistake. The issue, so I’ve read, is pretty much due to some laws Wisconsin if iirc? You’d have to look it up.
Hobostarr180 it seems too intentional to call it a “mistake”
Go somewhere else with your scare tactics! 7.8 billion in the world less than 200,000 dead you do the math! Democrats talk of this pandemic is Trump’s fault while Nancy pelosi walks in Chinatown trying to get people to come there! Trump band travel from China and calls the virus China made because it came from there Democrats said this was racist! Just a proud black mans opinion!
In the trump era, it’s become a four-letter word – SCUM.
Republicans are fighting hard for their dictator.
This is great news. The people are finally taking a stand. We need leaders that impact our country not making it only benefit the republicans.
The republican party is rapidly becoming the official un-American party.
@Brian Holmes the current deficit became a lot worse under Trump – so his economic plan isn’t working if it’s sending the country into deep debt.
In a well run government, taxes lead to a better life for the citizens since the purpose of taxes is to allow the government to fund projects that help the country like better educational programs, better military etc etc… So lowering taxes & still expecting gov to be funded doesn’t seem wise. Well that’s assuming you have a good government… And who is in charge of the government right now?
@Brian Holmes wow, you really do live in a fantasy world.
Brian Holmes yet republicans have always caused the deficit to blow up and throw us into recessions. then the Dems get elected to bring us out of the republican recessions….
@Jack Edger
Yup. Look at history: the economy always does better when the Democrats are in office. Go figure…
@Brian Holmes Obama is the smart guy sandwiched between two idiots.
His legacy will age well
Thank you Wisconsin… You risked your lives to tell the GOP scums that this is not ok. I hope this will show this country, this president and the GOP have blood on their hands and this is not ok.
Also the White House also is actively shutting down the US Postal Service so that come Nov. it will be chaos and making sure people cannot mail their vote in appropriately! That’s why they want to let our important institution die! Don’t let them get away with this. #VoteBlue2020
We won because we hate voter suppression and crooked people . The state has had enough scott walker cronyism
Thank God – the people have just had enough of all this corruption and lies – bravo People!!
@Dee Mathis Trump sucker
Had enough of Evers he needs to be out and walker back in we are sick of criminals out everywhere and democrats supporting them they are so evil
Hydrocarbon82 you are messed up in the head democrats single handed Lu ruined the economy in a short few months get ready for complete homeless state where criminals run and stores won’t let anyone in without a muzzle
The Republicans are suppressing vote not the Governor.
Thank you voters of Wisconsin. We all need to step up our game in the face of rightwing efforts to steal the 2020 election. Good luck to you all.
Nice job Wisconsin. Finally, some evidence that some smart Americans still exist. 👏🏾👏🏾
Consider this, in the 2016 general election, Trump won Wisconsin by only about 23,000 votes. And Hillary never even showed up in that state.
VOTE trump OUT ” VOTE trump OUT “
@Fossil Fuel Rules no it’s false
Pgs Gonzalez A. B. T. = Anybody But Trump.

@Thanks for another bad haircut, Mom! NoFirstName All these deaths ? Americans hate being lied to more then anything , And no one lies more then the Democrats. The Mueller report was the Democrats last stand
