The Recombobulation Area is a thirteen-time Milwaukee Press Club award-winning weekly opinion column and online publication founded by longtime Milwaukee journalist Dan Shafer. Learn more about it here.
Covering the RNC in Milwaukee was like drinking from a firehose. There was so much happening. I still have about a half dozen story ideas I haven’t had time to finish. This month, writing about politics in Wisconsin, has felt like a decade. It’s discombobulating.
But we’ll get there. We’ll continue to recombobulate. So much of what happened at that convention will be part of the campaign conversation all the way through until Nov. 5.
But for now, with this convention still fresh in our rear view mirror, I just wanted to take a moment and share links to all of my on-the-ground coverage of the RNC.
Here’s all of my coverage, listed chronologically by day.
