well, of course this is rematch from 2010, russ feingold, had been a three-term sitting senator in 2010, voted obama care and seemingly out of nowhere came osh kash businessman, ron johnson, fired opposing bama care, it, writing a tea party wave and in 2010.gold joined the season. went off, talked some, served as special envoy to johnson was in the u.s. senate b. a year and a feingold announced he would come back in the race and face ron johnson in the rematch. basically this is a i would say incumbents, one the people remember and the other one the president incumbent. host: so we read mr. glauber, widening, russ

feingold is ahead and ahead by been.than a has what are voters saying right now? feingold tappedw into what made him popular in the first place here that, is back g wisconsin like the of his hand, as he used to say and traveling to all 72 counties listening to people and then contrasting that with ron who he said, didn't get around the state, hunk erred and did the ngton senate thing. and alsoto have appeal the wave has gone a little different this time. washed russ feingold out seems to be carrying him in. opened that lead. there's still time to go, still a lot of television advertising to get through, you feingold has say

the advantage. host: take a look at a couple candidates in the race and we'll be back with our guests. job creator. >> senator johnson helps companies ship jobs overseas. manufacturing jobs just disappeared. gets and giant corporations richer. guys with families, guys like get ahead. harder to >> we need academy that works for people like me. >> for people like me. for people like me. >> people like me. >> i'm russ feingold, i approve mississippi, wisconsin middle class and working families should come first. >> i'm ron johnson, i approve message. >> have you seen feingold's ads johnson?g ron they are not true. >> i will rely on wisconsin the campaign.for >> claim for the future. >> 70% of feingold money come the state.

>> in 1992, i said i would get a ojority of contributions from wisconsin, i made that pledge for that term. >> for that term. for the king a pledge future. >> we are talking with bill milwaukee om the sentinel. theaw a big story line that national republican senatorial ads ittee has pulled reserved for senator johnson, what kind of statement are they there? guest: well, they're trying to downplay, of course, that ad you played the johnson ad was paid by the art, i believe, -- not e of those offshoot organization, they have put some money in the race, put of so-called points for it. 800,000 pull out of the race, you have to say would be a big blow. the democrats have pulled out of race, but they are saying

they have done it because they re ahead and, you know, the polls have shown they are ahead. i think what is interesting bout the two ads you showed, feingold had, he came out early strong against the transpacific partnership. he believes the trade deals hurt workers. johnson has not stated position as in manufacturing state. ou know, these deals don't go down as well as in other states. you know, an early move by feingold, he keeps with ng that issue and his ad, he drive its home, getting quintessential wisconsinites to talk about how allegedly are hurting american workers. it appears to be quite an adfonly because you are seeing a lot of it. host: couple quick questions. the presence of donald trump

at the top of the gop ticket this particular senate race and what are you looking for in coming weeks? guest: you know, it's difficult to say if the presence of trump played a role. running ahead of trump, but this was always, here, this is t wisconsin, it's a presidential republicans haven't won a presidential race here since senate, a republican senate candidate hasn't won in a year since 1980. it was always going to be an johnson, they for expected that and that is what we're seeing. in the coming weeks, i expect ads, probably more aggressive johnson heading down stretch. he, you know, he is behind the two debates could be interesting. one next friday night, that is wisconsin broadcasters, more appearance, a

following debate the following tuesday in which local broadcaster, mike lachey, brings into marquette university law school, they go to the mute court and there the come off.uld there will be more fireworks in the race. race is bill the glauber, thanks for your time >> house speaker paul ryan says he is "sickened" by donald trump's comments about women cured donald trump will no longer be attending a rally in wisconsin. in his statement, the speaker said "i am sickened by what i heard today, women are to be championed and revered, not objectified. i hope mr. trump treats the
