What’s the most “La Crosse” place a presidential candidate should visit?

UW-La Crosse political science professor, Dr. Anthony Chergosky, in studio, and we hit on a number of things, but the best is where a presidential candidate should stop in La Crosse. If getting in and out for a rally isn’t local enough, where, or what business, in the area should the candidate spend some time that people would love?

We began the show discussing some intricacies of Donald Trump’s La Crosse town hall, including the ex-president not knowing it was a town hall, or who it was for, and why down-ballot Republicans weren’t at all part of any of it — and barely made note of it on social media. 

We got into the visiting La Crosse conversation (18:10) with what we might ask Donald Trump during the show, and how it wouldn’t be about policy, it would be his thoughts on something local. That morphed into the candidates should visit the area more versus just holding a rally, like Joe Biden going to The Pearl Ice Cream Parlor.

Before that, for a few, with school starting back up, Chergosky discussed (6:50) how he has some exchange students who are very curious in learning about US politics, and he has a class teaching Wisconsin politics.

Ended the show (28:30) trying to coin the phrase DINO, like Republicans have coined RINO (Republican In Name Only), and where Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., fit in that world. Plus, a recent YouGov poll on the popularity of some of Kamala Harris and Trump proposals.
