Former Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold scored a big endorsement in his bid to take back his seat.
President Barack Obama is sending out a fundraising email Monday morning for Russ Feingold, one of the Democrats' best prospects for picking up a Senate seat this year. […]
"Russ isn't afraid to stand up for what he knows is right, even when it isn't popular," Obama's fundraising email reads. "He was the sole senator to vote against the USA PATRIOT Act, and one of very few who stood in opposition to the war in Iraq. Russ also took an early and loud stance in support of marriage equality for gay Americans, and he wasn't afraid to work with me, side by side, to get the Affordable Care Act passed—helping insure millions of Americans."
Clearly, Feingold has no problem with being associated with his president, or the next one, for that matter—he's endorsed Hillary Clinton.
The same can't be said for his opponent, who's had a helluva time trying to figure out just what it is he's supposed to say about Donald Trump. This is what he settled on last week: "To me, 'endorsement' is a big embrace. It basically shows that I pretty well agree with an individual on almost everything. That's not necessarily going to be the case with our nominee." Brilliant.
