Whatever Happened to Wisconsin Nice?

Season 1 Episode 2 | 11m 14s | CC

Wandering around the state to find out are two former state senators--one a Republican, one a Democrat. Visiting a gun show, an anti-Trump protest, and a conservative talk radio gathering, they look for insight into the state’s political future.
