Wisconsin GOP Senate candidate promotes #WalkAway movement, is spurned by Democrat parents
By Seth McLaughlin - The Washington Times - Monday, July 16, 2018 GOP Senate candidate Kevin Nicholson is holding up his political split with his parents over their ideological differences in Wisconsin as a way to urge others born into Democratic families to join the #walkaway movement and abandon “the intolerance of a political philosophy that stands on the false platform of tolerance.” Mr. Nicholson is running for the party’s nomination against state Sen Leah Vukmir in the Aug. 14 primary, and the winner will take on Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin. Mr. Nicholson, a former Marine, also is running in a way against his Democratic parents, who he says have turned their back on him and his family over his embrace of conservatism and says each of them cut the maximum $2,700 checks for Mrs. Baldwin’s re-election. “I don’t enjoy talking about this highly personal experience, but as I see the #WalkAway movement gain momentum, I feel compelled to share my story,” Mr. Nicholson said in a Fox News op-ed. “As #WalkAway grows, conservatives need to reach out to those who were raised to believe in a Democrat Party and a liberal political philosophy that does nothing to make them more successful.” The hashtag is part of an online campaign that serves as a platform for people to share their stories of why they have left the Democratic Party. The campaign’s Facebook page says it also is a venue for “the silent majority” on the right to challenge the “narrative that everybody on the right is a bigot, a racist, a homophobe, a misogynist, etc.”
In his op-ed, Mr. Nicholson said a lot of people are worried about the pushback they would face if they ditch the Democratic Party and says conservatives should welcome those people with open arms. “If you’ve decided to #WalkAway or plan to, I encourage you to find strength in those who have already walked the path,” he wrote. “Find strength in the principles of conservatism that are founded in faith, liberty, and the Constitution.” Mrs. Baldwin is favored to defend her seat, according to political handicappers. President Trump won Wisconsin in the 2016 presidential race.

The GOP establishment better be careful what they wish for. This is somewhat like the Libertarians or the Ross Perot voters. Both have taken large chunks of voters in some past elections. It would be nice if there could be a viable third party that could be a realistic alternative that rejects both the hard right and hard left.

OK, so, we don't want any of this happening, right?

No, this is nothing like Perot. Republicans are not losing voters thru WalkAway, Democrats are. If they decide to join the Republican Party, great, more power hopefully to Trump. If they decide to join some other 3rd party entity, great because they are no longer Democrats.
I see it as a win-win for our side.

You understand this is people shunning leftism, right? And you think this could somehow be a bad thing?

Some of the people commenting in this thread really need to take the time and watch some of these videos first, because it’s painfully clear that some of you haven’t.

It’s ok to be optimistic.
The #walkaway videos I’ve seen leave me with a feeling of optimism.
The left is the party of intellectual laziness, strife, jealousy and hatred. The more people open their eyes the better I feel.

It is nice to see so many folks not only coming to their senses, but advertising the fact.

That's the important point. One person realizing what's happening in the Democrat Party and their allies in the MSM and then making a change changes just one vote. That same one person realizing that, telling their story to those in their social circle and beyond, and then encouraging those others to have the courage to do the same could potentially help change many votes and many lives.
Let's hope this trend continues.

Maybe I didn't make my point well. I didn't mean it as a negative thing at all. I'm glad the more reasonable people that may still identify as Democrats seem to be recognizing how far the party they identified with in the past has become more and more irrational and extreme. Even people that I think of as too far left like Dianne Feinstein are being marginalized because they aren't left enough. I have no problem with the gift they seem to be giving us.
