Would McConnell put it on floor? Unclear. Some Rs may argue not to, because it could pass

“You’ll lose a lot of Republicans," said Braun. But he conceded: “If they bring it up for a vote, I’m guessing there will be enough to get it across the finish line.”

Wisconsin: read the fine print

People in Wisconsin had their homes seized and bulldozed to make way for what Trump touted as the "Eight Wonder Of The World" -- a giant Foxconn factory w/thousands of jobs.

Years later it's three empty buildings and an orb. Dozens of jobs. A ghost townhttps://t.co/MUdsbzMygW

Last month, "Foxconn received a permit to change its intended use from manufacturing to storage."

Foxconn recently acknowledged it "has so far invested 2.8 percent of the $10 billion it promised." https://t.co/MUdsbzMygW

One of Milwaukee's main problems in particular (you can throw in Kenosha and Racine here) is they are still waiting for factories of 1960 to return, they just sit around and use and sell dope of various kinds and shoot each other while waiting for grandpa's job to come back so they can get legit (and now they are also waiting for all those glam jobs in retail that moms had to come back.) Here's a local paper op-ed chiding the citizens about that whole thing, that's how I see this article:

At least a lot of Detroit peeps were smart enough to leave and not sit around waiting, go "back" to the south where's there's at least some manufacturing jobs.
