There was a reason Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch ran as the invisible candidate....a win for challenger Mahlon Mitchell

Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch had no response when confronted with Gov. Scott Walker's "divide and conquer" comment. Nothing. All she had were off topic comments and an unconvincing denial. Oh sure, it's like nothing happened in the state that resulted in the Capitol protests or the massive recall response for her and Walker . Upfront with Mike Gousha:

Kleefisch: "I don't think a divide and conquer strategy is anywhere close to what we have done in Wisconsin, what has happened in Wisconsin ... I don't think that's the strategy that was pursued..." 

Challenger and firefighter Mahlon Mitchell would not move off the divide and conquer topic. He even brought up Walker's "drop the bomb" reference. And I was almost dizzy watching Kleefisch rock her body back and forth while batting her eyes like a young Beaver Cleaver. Her response to Walker's outrageous past statements...

Kleefisch: "I don't think rhetoric at this point is helpful at all..." 

"Becky" got here jobs numbers wrong, and Gousha corrected her, which did not stop her from repeating the incorrect number again. Wow. I've superimposed the actual numbers:



Here Mahlon Mitchell defends high speed rail, and reminded Kleefisch that bashing employment numbers in Milwaukee is not helping create jobs there. He could have easily brought up the latest Walker ad portraying Milwaukee as a drag on the state, and subtly slipping in a racial element as well.

Mitchell: "We've got to remember Milwaukee is in the state of Wisconsin."

Kleefisch: "...we've got to stop rooting against Wisconsin, against Milwaukee...and stop criticizing our great state."

Where has Kleefisch been for the last 15 years, when Republicans bashed Wisconsin 24/7 as a bad place for business.
