Reynolds: Families on the north side just don’t exist
Tonight, State Senator Tom Reynolds came out of hibernation to debate his challenger, Wauwatosa Alderman Jim Sullivan. From the reviews that are coming in about Reynolds, he might want to go back to his cave.
Here's a few paraphrased quotes that actually came out of Reynolds' mouth tonight.
ShareWisconsin is a magnet for illegal immigrants because of our (great) public benefits.
Famlies on the north side just don't exist. They continue to be violent their whole lives.
South Carolina has 13 or 14 nuclear power plant sites and Wisconsin should go in that direction. We need to get on the band wagon before all of the jobs go South Carolina because of cheap electricty from nuclear power.
"The clean energy act (SB 459 which was supported by all State Senators but Reynolds) is the best example of a piece of legislation specifically for special interests"
Senators can't control themselves so that's why we need to put a cap on government spending (enact TABOR).

This is precisely why Dohnal has advised Tom to avoid debates at all cost; even if he has to feign some imagined fear of cameras.
The bottom line is that the Senator is not an intellectual individual and is not capable of thinking on his feet.
The Senator’s handlers have decided that it ’tis better to not debate and hold out hope that the public suspects the Senator is a fool; than to hold a public debate and allow his verbal missteps to remove all doubt.
