When the job is complete and not selective. Charlie is doing a good job at the 30,000-foot national level in calling out GOP bad actors and bad actions. But we are still waiting for him at ground level here in WI to take a more forceful, open stand against the GOP and what it has done and actively work to make his voice of warning more prominent, especially in places such as the WOW (Waukesha-Ozaukee-Washington) counties that are strong bases of GOP support. Yes, he does address some of our issues here, in this forum, and it is welcome. But we need his voice in trying to reach his former radio audience more directly and saying that if he was wrong about the GOP and certain local members of the tribe then, maybe they need to rethink their positions and support now. They do not see him on MSNBC or read him in The Bulwark. The battle must be taken to them more directly and personally.
I genuinely do not know the answer to this, and you native Badgers might... but Charlie *lost* his radio show b/c he was critical of Trump and the GOP. WI Republicans don’t want to give him a platform to speak up. What, exactly, and this is my question to you, do you want him to do?
That's not really for me to say, as I don't know what options and outlets are available to him and I have no authority in the matter. But in discussion with others here, the common theme that we return to with some regularity is that if people used their influence to sway opinion and were instrumental in carrying water for those who have done so much damage here, there should a commensurate response in reverse, acknowledging that mistake and using it as a springboard to effect change. Maybe I've missed something, but for all the words that have been expressed on the topic, I don't recall ever hearing something as simple as "I was wrong about Scott Walker," or "I trusted Robin Vos, and he failed that test," and other such things that, brief and to the point, do not mince words or leave wiggle room about it. Unless he actually is not there. At any rate that is my answer to your question. Others have their own position on it, but I'm also not the only one who feels the way that I do.
Maybe he could be more visible in Wisconsin. I haven't followed the local Sunday morning shows, so I don't know whether he has made appearances there. It could be helpful if he did.
But I think he has explicitly said he regrets having supported Walker, RonJon, and others.
That's true, but he's also not a fulsome voice for Democrats either. I think he and others are still Republicans, but can't let the country be lost. That used to be a common motivation for both parties whether they won or lost.

He's never-Trump but he's still a conservative. I don't think he has any fondness for the Democratic party.
That is my impression too.
