Pretty rad I got to intro @BernieSanders for this WI townhall, talking about how we're winning the ideological struggle, and how we'll continue the political revolution

Despite his long odds, Sanders continues to campaign in Wisconsin. His team made 300K+ calls to remind voters in the state to request absentee ballots. He also has upwards of 50 staffers dedicated to Wisconsin, including a state coordinator, field director and political director.
