DNC launches Milwaukee billboards with Trump ‘horrible’ city comment.
Dems outside Wisconsin:
Actual Wisconsinites:
Milwaukeeans:
The people who will defend Milwaukee hardest were never going to vote Trump. There's a non-zero contingent of apolitical people who agree with the sentiment of Milwaukee being a bit of a shithole who might see the billboards and a dude running for POTUS who shares their opinion, though.
Obama won 99% of the vote in the areas people talk about when referring to Milwaukee as a horrible place. These are not people Trump need worry about offending.
The billboards will resonate with the people in mansions on Lake Drive who have a Milwaukee address but spend half of their day worrying about human beings shitting on their lawn or breaking into their homes and garages.
Having the GOP convention in Milwaukee makes sense because Wisconsin is important and Fiserv Forum is the only logical place to hold it, but the City itself is an island, and the attendees will be from the suburbs and probably laugh at the billboards along 94 on their way downtown.
Swing and a miss, DNC.
