| Sheriff David Clarke Defeats Bloomberg's Anti-Gun Money, Wins Milwaukee County Primary |
| 2014-08-14 |
[TOWNHALL] Former New York City Mayor  Michael NannyBloomberg's dollars have been defeated again, this time in Wisconsin. Despite Bloomberg dumping $150,000 into the Democrat primary for Milwaukee County Sheriff on behalf of anti-gun Milwaukee Police Lt. Chris Moews with a goal of defeating pro-self defense incumbent Sheriff David Clarke, Clarke was victorious last night. Clarke defeated Moews 52 percent to 48 percent. The race was called Wednesday morning after results were too close to call Tuesday night. |

| #5 Clarke won by about 4,600 votes. Wisconsin has a 'Closed' primary wherein voters can only select candidates from their designated party. Any vote 'across' the parties would be void. I'm hearing that about 30,000 (maybe more) typically GOP voters turned out and voted for 'Clarke only' in this election, and didn't bother to enter any Republican votes (which would have voided their whole ballot). That's how p*ssed they were about the nasty attack ads the Dem county establishment ran against a good sheriff from their own party, all the Bloomberg money and anti-gun stuff, plus the $100K+ Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele personally dumped into the campaign for Clarkes' challenger. Abele and Clarke were at odds with each other before, and this will just 'cook' that relationship even further. |

| #4 Bloomberg needs to take a long walk off a short sidewalk ending on a cliff. |

| #2 Good for Sheriff Clark. The guy understands the 2nd Amendment. Bloomberg is a meddlesome nudnik with a lot of money to try to impose his wishes on the rest of us. Whether it be himself, diet, sugar, or guns. A royal pain in the arse. |
