1
00:00:00,601 --> 00:00:01,168
Do you think more

2
00:00:01,235 --> 00:00:03,036
ideologically extreme

3
00:00:03,103 --> 00:00:04,905
candidates hurt their party

4
00:00:04,972 --> 00:00:06,373
in a state like Wisconsin?

5
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,308
Or do these candidates

6
00:00:08,375 --> 00:00:09,543
help their party win?

7
00:00:09,610 --> 00:00:10,477
Zach, will

8
00:00:10,544 --> 00:00:11,245
we get an answer

9
00:00:11,311 --> 00:00:11,945
to this one once

10
00:00:12,012 --> 00:00:13,881
and for all this November?

11
00:00:13,947 --> 00:00:15,249
Yes and no.

12
00:00:15,315 --> 00:00:16,950
And the reason

13
00:00:17,017 --> 00:00:17,818
for that is once

14
00:00:17,885 --> 00:00:18,752
somebody wins,

15
00:00:18,819 --> 00:00:19,286
they are

16
00:00:19,353 --> 00:00:19,920
the definition

17
00:00:19,987 --> 00:00:20,621
of their party.

18
00:00:20,687 --> 00:00:21,688
And certainly for governor

19
00:00:21,755 --> 00:00:22,789
at one point in time,

20
00:00:22,856 --> 00:00:23,423
Tom Tiffany

21
00:00:23,490 --> 00:00:24,725
was one of the more

22
00:00:24,791 --> 00:00:25,692
right leaning.

23
00:00:25,759 --> 00:00:26,293
More.

24
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:26,827
You could label him

25
00:00:26,894 --> 00:00:27,561
an extreme.

26
00:00:27,628 --> 00:00:28,896
He was one of the early ones

27
00:00:28,962 --> 00:00:30,197
to cozy up to Donald Trump

28
00:00:30,264 --> 00:00:31,498
and the MAGA movement.

29
00:00:31,565 --> 00:00:33,133
He was on the far

30
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:34,768
right of the Republican

31
00:00:34,835 --> 00:00:36,336
congressional delegation

32
00:00:36,403 --> 00:00:37,437
and certainly Republicans

33
00:00:37,504 --> 00:00:38,405
within the state.

34
00:00:38,472 --> 00:00:39,606
Now, he is

35
00:00:39,673 --> 00:00:40,641
likely the frontrunner

36
00:00:40,707 --> 00:00:41,842
to be the Republican nominee

37
00:00:41,909 --> 00:00:42,543
for governor.

38
00:00:42,609 --> 00:00:44,044
And if he wins, he will be

39
00:00:44,111 --> 00:00:44,711
the face

40
00:00:44,778 --> 00:00:45,512
of the Republican Party.

41
00:00:45,579 --> 00:00:46,113
You know,

42
00:00:46,180 --> 00:00:46,947
we've got Republican

43
00:00:47,014 --> 00:00:48,315
Congressman Derek Van Orden.

44
00:00:48,382 --> 00:00:49,082
He's set

45
00:00:49,149 --> 00:00:50,584
a lot of inflammatory things.

46
00:00:50,651 --> 00:00:51,919
He's on social media

47
00:00:51,985 --> 00:00:53,187
a lot thousands

48
00:00:53,253 --> 00:00:54,321
and thousands of tweets,

49
00:00:54,388 --> 00:00:56,023
probably Democrats

50
00:00:56,089 --> 00:00:56,957
call him extreme,

51
00:00:57,024 --> 00:00:58,525
but he's won reelection.

52
00:00:58,592 --> 00:01:00,460
And some conservatives

53
00:01:00,527 --> 00:01:01,228
in the third

54
00:01:01,295 --> 00:01:02,729
Congressional District

55
00:01:02,796 --> 00:01:03,530
like that.

56
00:01:03,597 --> 00:01:04,598
They like that about him.

57
00:01:04,665 --> 00:01:05,599
They like that about Trump.

58
00:01:05,666 --> 00:01:06,767
They they feel that

59
00:01:06,834 --> 00:01:08,235
that means they're authentic

60
00:01:08,302 --> 00:01:08,735
and that they're

61
00:01:08,802 --> 00:01:09,636
not listening

62
00:01:09,703 --> 00:01:11,071
to the consultant class

63
00:01:11,138 --> 00:01:13,941
in crafting their messaging.
