Trumpism Abounds in Brown County Sheriff’s Race

Brown County Sheriff Mark Milbrandt is bragging about hanging out with Attorney General Marty Jackley on his campaign Facebook page:

Marty Jackley is bragging about his kinship with Donald Trump in his campaign literature:

Mark Milbrandt is therefore the Trumpist candidate for sheriff in Brown County.

But wait: Milbrandt’s opponent, Rep. Dan Kaiser, says local anti-Muslim rallies are really “educational” events and implies that all Muslims are pedophiles. So Dan Kaiser is also a Trumpist candidate for sheriff in Brown County.

Jeepers—why would any Democrat switch registration to vote for Milbrandt or Kaiser to be sheriff?

    So now a hand shake at a photo op becomes, “I met with…”! LOL! On the other hand, we elected Thune just to stand over McConnell’s shoulder at photo ops. Might work. !#@%&*!

    so is jackley gonna be tougher to beat than noem? he is obviously more qualified. Will it be easier for Billy to beat him or the pretty horse woman of 85 speeding ticket/college degree while attending congress ilk (like rounds who got his instrument rating while in office)? I thought those big jobs took all one’s time.

    Equating Trump and lawfulness seems like a lesson in irony to me. Rule of law (and the process thereof) seems to be applied only to others – not to the man himself (or those who is has/will pardon). Not the position I would want a sheriff (or AG for that matter) to hold.

    Only up until the election. Then it is on to the next election to quality for a gubmint pension plan.
