Paul Fanlund: Hoping for Donald Trumps recovery and then his defeat – Madison.com

Going into the debate, Democrats feared he would change the election dynamics by either discombobulating Biden or by somehow switching to moderation and reasonableness. Instead, my guess is that Biden supporters felt utter disgust during the debate but relief and perhaps even elation afterwards.

All in all, it seemed like Trump was starting to get what he deserved, hence the schadenfreude that preceded the shock of the COVID-19 diagnosis in Trumps Twitter feed.

(OK, I admit to a bit of schadenfreude about the many health report references to Trump as obese after hes spent his entire life commenting on women based on their physical appearance. Im human.)

Look, inside Wisconsin, we still face a tricky road to return state politics from the wilderness of rule by big money. This fall, Democrats must prevent Republicans from gaining legislative supermajorities to override vetoes by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers.

It will also require successful campaigns both for the courts and the governors office to get fair political maps. Evers, a probable candidate, must win re-election in 2022 and a moderate or left-leaning candidate must win the next state Supreme Court seat in 2023, the next regularly scheduled election. And on from there.
