Francesca Hong is about as far left as one can imagine.
But she is way ahead in Tuesday”s gubernatorial Democratic Party primary election, even though she is spending nothing on TV.
Why?
Just as Governor JB Pritzker spent oodles of cash to get the most extreme Republican–Darren Bailey–nominated, as his GOP opponent Super , Republican PACs have adopted the same straegy in Wisconsin.

A lot of Hong’s direct TV advertising came from a super pac called Middle Class Priorities. Middle Class Priorities only has one donor, Progressive Prosperity Caucus, Inc. And what is Progressive Prosperity Caucus, Inc? A fake GOP slush fund run by Republican operatives that’s spent millions of dollars getting leftists nominated in swing districts. Most leftists who have won swing district primaries are being funded by the GOP btw, that’s why so many of them claim they won despite being outspent.
He also learned that a second Republican PAC spent $2.2 million on “attack ads” against Hong. Marcus began tracing those ads and found that the so-called “attack ads” only appeared “in extremely Democratic areas like Dane County and they were all about how you shouldn’t vote for Francesca Hong because she opposes Trump’s immigration agenda.”
So what Republican Super PACs doing to help her win the Democratic Party nomination?
From Legal Insurrection’s William A, Jacobson:
Good. This is the tactic in reverse Democrats used expertly for decades to get the weakest republican nominated. Harry Reid perfected it: “A fake GOP slush fund run by Republican operatives that’s spent millions of dollars getting leftists nominated in swing districts.”
