    Yep. Not a bad strategy to wait and see what happens in November + if Alaska swings any further left. Because your greatest threat is languishing in the GOP party and then Peltola steals the seat from you in 2028. If Murkowski switches, it incentivizes Peltola to go for Sullivan in 2026 instead. 

    I was personally hoping Peltola would be the next don young and have that house seat for 50 years.  I like seeing Alaska blue on the house map.

    It's pure madness.  Even if you told him to go look it up, he wouldn't.  They.   Don't.  Want.  The.  Truth.

    They just want something to be mad at.

    Theres no use with these MAGA monkeys. They’re a bunch of animals.  They just want to point, scream, and blame things on people. Facts don’t matter at all.

    Polling issues causing some angst and a potential Biden health scare aside, am I the only one who feels like this isn't going to be particularly close? I don't think Trump can count on all of these people switching to him in the General. Meanwhile, he's out of money and the RNC is out of money to really do much about it. 

    I feel the same way.  At this point, we just need the calendar to get shorter / election get closer without anything crazy happening that is negative for the dems.

    Hey remember when the GOP was touting the benefits of the Trump Tax Cuts to the middle class?

    image.thumb.png.fac57ff6f53b6670850a294e4102c3c0.png

    These are the stubbornly idiotic MAGA voters who come from a modest or average background ( nothing wrong with this), however they vote for policies which only help millionaires and billionaires.

    Deep down they probably know they’re getting screwed but they blindly believe that if the rich guys are happy than everyone else will be happy and it will trickle down to the commoners. 
     

    Banks in the Cayman Islands are the reason trickle down doesn’t exist. The rich folks take their tax cut bounties, pocket them, move them into offshore accounts asap and the “tax cut” never stimulates or helps the economy in any meaningful way.

    Yep,but no way Trump can duplicate his former self--he's unhealthy, has no stamina--can watch him short circuit during every speech now, is a substantial number of brain cells lighter and only had a 3rd graders vocabulary initially.  Even his nicknames no longer have any bite--sleepy Joe again?  Yep, sleepy Joe beat that cheating ass and is campaigning from a place of power because America got sick of Dotard, and booted his bloated ass.  Now, he'll remind and flog the American memory with his dim witted cons and antics.    He's a dumber person than before, and it'll bear out. 

    Look at the exit polling in most of these primary states so far.  With the exception of probably South Carolina, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Alabama lots of republican voters ( nearly 50% or more) said they were “not part of” the MAGA movement.

    Trump has no way to win back the suburb folks that the GOP has lost.

    Just make sure they get to the polls and keep hammering away about it. As we get closer, that fucking guy will remind them why they need to fucking vote 

    I’m not worried.  Biden had a good SOTU and the repub response was ridiculed by all sides. Britt was beyond horrible. 
     

    The polls will narrow as the election gets closer and more people enter the fold. It won’t take Trump long to remind most people why they voted against him 4 years ago or 8 years ago. The guy has the maturity of a 1st grader.

  7. Several thoughts

    Katie Britt is full of SHIT. Woman is talking about preserving the American dream when all she did was be born attractive and marry a football player while she gives him babies and makes him sandwiches. This Britt woman has never done a hard days work in her life. Make her work a 10 hour shift at wal mart or Ross and she would probably cry and quit before it’s even over. No fortitude at all in that woman.

    Ted Cruz saying Biden was out of touch with the American people is great. Thanks for the laugh. People hate Cruz so much that he gets things thrown at him during a parade in the biggest city of the state he serves. Guy is a massive liability on any ballot because so many people hate him. He’s gotta be one of the most hated members of congress ever.

    The fact that it has generated an enormous amount of discussion across a lot of sites, as well as Harvey Kronberg (The Quorum Report) unloading on Greg Abbott, speaks volumes - it was rare, and usually only done when the incumbent had really fucked up (fucked the wrong person, got caught doing something nobody could defend, etc.).

    Abbott doing it because of one single issue and doing it so publicly is stunning. 

    Maybe Bob Bullock did it a little over some of the stuff from the 70s/80s, but Bullock kept that shit mostly on the down low.

    The trio of Paxton, Patrick, and Abbott will not rest until Texas is run into the ground.

    Fuck me... I'm sitting next to Dan Patrick's son at a dinner in SF. I'm pretty sure I should tell him how horrific his dad is...

    Tell Ryan Patrick his dad sucks for not letting Texas legalize marijuana or gambling.

  10. Trump dominated the primary overall, but there are cracks in the armor.  Lots of people gladly and willingly showed up to vote for Haley. Biden was getting over 80% in nearly every state and Trump didn’t get that high.

    millions of independents/ democrats chose to vote in the republicans primary because it’s the only one this year with a competitive race. Lots of these folks will return home in the fall.  More democrats probably sat home during this primary season than republicans as well.

    Biden needs a good state of the union tomorrow. Also dems seem to have a big advantage in the money department and at the state level in crucial swing states. Michigan / Arizona GOP are in shambles. Kari lake and Martha mcsally will be responsible for totally flipping Arizona blue. I still like the way demographics are trending in Georgia and North Carolina as well. 
     

    Dems still have a lot to be hopeful for and it’s still early. Wait until more people become politically engaged. Right now it’s just the die hards like us. As long as a big recession doesn’t hit before fall ( looking unlikely) Biden should have a decent chance.

     

    honestly I don’t care if Biden wins and steps down by Christmas. I just don’t want trump or MAGA to win anything.

    Brandon Gill is Dinesh D’Souza’s son-in-law!?!?!?

    Yes…. Brandon gill gave Dinesh a grand child and Dinesh pretty much got Brandon elected. Dinesh gave the Gill campaign a huge donation and secured the trump endorsement for gill.

  12. These results are ungodly disappointing.  We’ve talked about for years using the primary season to get rid of terrible republicans, but now these same terrible republicans are using the primary to get rid of the only somewhat sane republicans left in the only Texas body of government that isn’t totally fucked up. 
     

    the Texas house could be as bad if not worse than the Texas Senate soon.

    yeah that's not too cool but not sure what's a good way to discretely determine which primary you're voting in, if you have to get the ballot and feed it in the machine. My neighborhood is very lefty as am I generally, but I've voted in the R primary a number of times for obvious reasons. One time voting at my kid's elementary school, I'm in a robust line of people who are presumably neighbors when the poll worker asks me and I say "republican" and the workers ooh'd and aah'd like I was a zoo specimen and one said to another, "we've got one!" 

    I was NOT pleased. 

    Happened to me about 10 years ago when I went to vote at an off time and had to say out loud “Republican”.  When I was asked my party affiliation it seems like everyone in the room was perked up to see what I was going to say.  When I said Republican, this old geriatric dude sitting on a bench did a huge fist bump and another old dude nodded like I’ve just done him a big favor. The poll workers talked about how I was the youngest looking repub they have seen all day and that they need to “ get more of these guys”. 
     

    little did they know I was just showing up to ( in vain) vote against Abbott and Paxton. I grew up in a suburb where the kids cars at the local high school were better than the teachers cars.

    Lighten up Francis.  This will be the first primary I'd have missed since 2014.

    Seemed like nearly everyone missed 2014 and 2010 midterms.

    The wife and I both voted in the Republican primary, specifically to try and prop up the more sane Republicans (Haley, any candidate that Paxton is coming after).

     

    We'll be voting for the Democratic candidates come November.

    I vote on the GOP side most of the time in the spring and dem side 100% of the time in the fall. I figure if anything I’ll just dilute the vote totals of people I hate as much as possible, even if they probably aren’t going to lose.

    Not going to freak out about lower D numbers when we don’t have a competitive race and they do.  1000’s of dems voted on the Republican side. We just don’t know how many.
