While the first Republican presidential primary debate intrigued Wisconsin voters as it unfolded so close to home, many watching the debate in Milwaukee paid close attention to what wasn't said, expressing a desire to hear more policy details from the candidates on how they would improve the U.S. economy.
Just a mile or so east of the Fiserv Forum, at a small brewpub in Milwaukee's downtown, Americans for Prosperity, a libertarian conservative political advocacy group, organized a watch party. In a spacious, air-conditioned bar, more than 200 attendees munched on meatballs as the heat index outside clocked in at around 105 to 110.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
..."'The economy is number one'
Republican Bernard Hall was one of them. When asked what issue is most important to him, Hall did not hesitate: "the economy is number one."
Hall voted for Donald Trump in the last two presidential elections but said this time around he's looking to see if there's an alternative to the former president who can beat President Joe Biden and unify the country a bit more.
Many other voters at the event, like Hall, watched eight Republican presidential candidates attempt to stand out from the crowd at Fiserv, home to the Milwaukee Bucks, on Wednesday night. North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, former Vice President Mike Pence, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott all fielded questions from Fox News anchors in a state their party sees as critical to its success in 2024. Milwaukee will also host the GOP presidential nominating convention next summer."...

Most voters have NO-IDEA what these positions are and how they affect them on a local and state level.
They don’t know who funded they, where their slush funds accumulate from, what policies they support. No idea why or who is actually pushing agenda legislation, bills and law makers.
Politics are/were glossed over in the educational system and most citizens don’t understand or care for politics …. They operate in a lemmings mindset.
