Ron Johnson's latest word salad served with Russian dressing

You never know where ol' Senator Sunspots will land on an issue.

One day he's endorsing Trump for "his policies."

Even spoke for Trump at the 2016 Republican National Convention when plenty of other potential speakers couldn't fit a speaking slot into schedules crowded with sock drawer arranging and oven-cleaning time. 

Next thing you know, Johnson is calling Trump's latest gambit - - federal aid for farmers hurt by Trump's 'policies' - - a step towards a "Soviet-type economy."

Not the first time that Johnson has come with an inflated, international metaphor that doesn't hit the mark.

Seriously?

And I remember the good old days when RoJo came out in favor of drilling for oil in the Great Lakes.
One month ago, Johnson was asked by the media, "Would you support drilling like in the Great Lakes, for example, if there was oil found there?" Johnson said, “Yeah. You know, the bottom line is that we are an oil-based economy. There’s nothing we’re going to do to get off of that for many, many years, so I think we have to just be realistic and recognize that fact. And I think we have to get the oil where it is…”[WisPolitics, Interview, 6/14/10]
And, for the record, it's also realistic and a fact that you don't get for the oil where it isn't.
