Wisconsin Set To Hold A Primary In Middle Of A Pandemic | Morning Joe | MSNBC

  1. Wisconsin Supreme Court WILL be held accountable for the death toll, and the election results WILL be lawfully contested.

    1. Lets be clear.. Bernie called for a delay in the primary.. Joe and Trump wanted people to “get put there and vote!”… Whos the real leader here.. People need to WAKEUP and see the bigger picture!

    1. In Ohio primary, Dems wanted business as usual but Republican governor wanted to delay the primary.
      There are good and bad people on both sides.

    2. @Selfish Capitalist Ohio has an all-mail primary through April 29. Democrats wanted it to run for LONGER than April 28th.

  2. When all of this is over and we have the vaccine and other medication,the people will remember and so will History.

    1. @Michael Schneider
      It should go to the citizens first before any of the top 1% and the rich for the reason of without the citizens of this great nation there would be no reason to have the economy or a government. The citizens of this nation keep the economy and the corporations and government going because we have to earn and spend our money on things that keep this country alive.

    2. a nice thought but americans routinely repeat historical mistakes over and over and over. that’s why we have the horror that is trump. that’s why there’s such a thing as a republican majority in congress. that’s why we have such a travesty as fox news.

  3. All people listening to Any republican making any decision that includes morality ethics or just plain common sense better do the exact opposite. It will save your life.

    1. Yep. Definitely zone out GOP + Biden. So many people got sick in Illinois! They don’t care at all!!!

    1. Guinness , Biden is an incoherent turd sandwich for a pick to run against Trump the crap salad. Our country has lost its way… when your choice for president is between one lying dementia patient and another lying dementia patient. I can not for the life me understand why we are picking Lying Biden to run against Dotard Trump. It’s pathetic

    1. Bernie Sanders has been doing his job, trying to protect the people he serves and NOT taking advantage of the crisis to swing favor in the poles such as Biden is doing. Who do we want to serve us? I want the person who will do the job and protect the people!

    2. @Andy Smitty Study up on your factual based mathematical probabilities, Sanders doesn’t have a chance. I don’t even understand why he is even still in this race. He needs to stay focused on his immediate job in the senate.

    3. The reason the election is still happening is because of Democrat governor Evers. He has repeatedly said he wouldn’t cancel the election, and then decided to try and cancel last minute with an executive order. This was outside of his jurisdiction so the court overturned it. If he had tried to cancel it earlier, he could have gotten it through with everybody’s consent.

    4. EJ Smyth he’s staying in the race because the democrat version of Trump is currently leading. Duh… I don’t seem to understand why people constantly want to vote for the guy who’s for the 1%. Biden has voted and stood against social security, Medicaid, Medicare, and voted to decrease higher income taxes and increase lower income taxes. He’s voted against increasing minimum wage. The only difference between him and Trump, is the abortion topic, which I’m sure he would fold on that too!

      It’s pathetic, you support voting against your interests and say the guy who is fighting for you who could still mathematically win to drop out. Yeah F that!

  4. Republicunts know it and admit it in their highest ranks (Trump too): Republicans would never be elected if everyone voted.

    1. @Michigan Wolverine Anyone out if the blue would be better than the reality TV star in chief. Mail in ballots can all be verified. And it’s a federal crime to tamper w the mail. Good enough law and order for you?

    2. @Paul Picard Let me guess who will be verifing the mail in ballots . TRUMP will get relected and you know it and the GOP will get the house ! All you snot nose liberals can cry for 4 more yrs . I know how about Nancy PIGlosi !

    1. LedWolf7 Democrats *Gave us slavery,Jim Crow Laws,don’t allow women to vote,KKK,Lynching,Black codes*
      Also Democrats “RePuBlIcAnS ArE EvIL”

    2. What about the Dems in Michigan, Illinois lol tjust to secure the win for Jim Crow Joe. I guess Dems committed the same crime against humanity lol only when its convenient right lol

    3. Silense King well dems are the ones that were soo hesitant to hold back small business loans because they didn’t get their agenda fitted. And it’s sad the only way you get votes is telling every minority your a victim and you deserve the world. It’s kinda racist to assume that black people are not able to thrive by themselves huh? 🥱. This is coming a from a hatian legal immigrant btw 😉

    4. @Jesse Roberts lol my fellow Hatian,

      You are right and the same African Americans will tell you they are not a monolithic group and get behind the person that caused one of if not the worst damage to them. but its all worth it as long as they vote blue right lol They need to wake up

  5. Are these guys for real, should be charged with manslaughter if anyone that goes to the poll dies.

    1. It isn’t an, “if,” it is a when. Yes, this is yet another ridiculous (as in worthy of ridicule) failure by Trump and the bought off/sold out GOP.

    2. @angela bluebird60 You asshats condemned Trump for shutting down travel by advertising “hug an asian” You morons also condemned Trump for getting Mike Lindell involved with producing masks, which hes now making over 50,000 a day! Demonrats across America will pay for this in November!

    1. No need to vote. Trump is the only one the ballot anyway I believe and plus even if he isn’t. He’ll win pretty comfortably.

    2. @Marié telléz Please don’t go into shock then in November like they did in 2016 when Hillary lost to Trump. Because you may see a repeat of 2016. Some people never learn.

    3. Patricia roe did you know that Obama lost the Independent vote in 2012, yet still won the election.

  6. Pro-Life you say..?
    Republicans want Democrats to die.
    VOTE 💯 🌊🌊 🌊🌊 🌊🌊 🌊🌊 🌊🌊 🌊

    1. No, the Republicans want everyone to be at risk. After the deaths, Wisconsin should turn against Drumpf and Republicans.

    2. Let me remind you, Joe Biden did an interview a couple days ago stating that it would be safe to go in person to vote for him. He is just a guilty! Bernie Sanders has my vote

    1. Kathleen Martin Crystal displays her utter stupidity all over the net. She’s a lost cause sadly.

    1. Wisconsin’s Republican dominated legislature is still butt hurt that Scott Walker lost, so they’re doing as much as they can to undermine Gov. Evers.

  7. This is all about the supreme court race in Wisconsin. Republicans are afraid of losing their partisan hack.

    1. @Jen 417 I’ll agree with u there, but this “pandemic” is not as bad as the WHO and Media are hyping it up to be. The leader of the WHO was appointed by China btw…

    1. The only thing difficult about voting is learning to READ. And that’s why lots of democrats can’t do it.

    2. @Jeff Gibson the same can be said of the Republicans too so your point is! Or you just wanting to show the world how stupid you are! Ok I got it you just want everyone to know you’re stupid!

    3. Jeff Gibson that’s why about 70% of people without college degrees are republicans. 😂😂😂

    1. @Edwin Gonzalez yes “study” that’s why there have been more flu cases and more deaths from the flu than COVID19

    2. @Dan Silver . I have one question for you. What you gain by spreading miss information?. Seriously. What you gain. Even if it’s that you work as a troll .I dont how you can live whit your soul knowing that you helping to hurt thousands of people just for a dime and a stupid mentality. So I ask you again what’s you gain on that.

    3. @Edwin Gonzalez How do u justify shutting down a “non essential” business, but allow people to congregate in grocery stores? How does that make any sense? How does the CDC get away with estimating over 2 million deaths but recently changed their estimate to 60,000?

    4. Edwin Gonzalez : s’cuse me but it seems like he’s trying to ‘normalise’ it, I mean trying to make out any/everybody could just catch it when, at least at its inception twas very specific per the group of folks, until it got out, as it were.

  8. Brought to you by the so-called pro life party. These clowns are pro life, until you are born, after that- ”you can die for all we care”

  9. trump: “If you have vote-by-mail you’ll never elect another Republican again.”-Actually I think your administration has seen to that.
