"I want a Republican governor and I want to win," said Tommy Thompson, announcing that he will not run for governor again.

We saw him squander the opportunity to win the Senate seat 10 years ago, and he's 80 now, so it was absurd that he was threatening to run. His statement "I want to win" implies his awareness that he wouldn't win (or he doesn't want the blame if the Republicans lose the race for governor again).

Here's the Madison.com article about his announcement. That says that Thompson says that Trump encouraged him to run. The line "I want a Republican governor and I want to win" sounds Trumpish, but that's Thompson's statement about why he's not running.

Tommy Thompson is too old to be Big Cheese. We’ve seen how ineffective Aged Cheddar can be in the guise of Dementia Joe Biden.

80 years old and still grasping for power. Such hubris.

Millions of people think the 2020 election was rigged in targeted precincts. Should they all be jailed? for mind crime?

Stolen for an old insider crook, by PAID Ballot mules.

I want honest elections. Is that Trumpy?
Not Trumpy - that's Real America.

If Tommy were a democrats insider - he'd be in. 80 years old? would not matter.

80 is too old. I agree with anyone who says this.

Highly unlikely that Madison.com's reportage of the conversation is correct, just repeating the gloss Thompson put on it without question. Most likely Trump wanted Thompson to stand down. Tommy's far from a fighter, and certainly not the MAGA sort.
