    I’ll be rooting for Cornyn.We aren’t going to get a better R senator.  Last time Texans held the seats of power, LBJ and Sam Rayburn made sure we got paid. 

    I think Thune would do a better job, but Barrasso would be downright terrible.

    Voters will be reminded of Trump's chaos the second the race becomes 1v1 and people start paying attention in the summer.

    GA - re-elected a Dem Senator in Biden's first midterm (should have been an auto pickup for the GOP) and Trump's meddling in the GA election absolutely has pissed off enough people.  Kemp won because he was anti-Trump.  State GOP is broke broke. 
    AZ - elected a Dem governor, AG, SOS and Dem Senator in 2022.  State GOP is in shambles. 
    WI - re-elected a Dem governor in 2022 and flipped their state Supreme Court in 2023.  The Wisconsin assembly, for the first time in decades, is competitive and actually get people to turn out and vote this year to try and flip it (plus half the Wisconsin senate, which has flippable races due to new maps)

    Not to mention the absolute chaos that is Michigan GOP (which also re-elected their entire Dem slate of candidates in 2022 and the GOP is broke and leaderless)

    For once, it seems like democrats benefit from a state not having term limits.

    while it seems like Texas will be saddled with idiots like Paxton, Patrick, and governor Wheelie for the end of time, Wisconsin is a state which doesn’t have term limits. I like the idea of Evers still owning the GOP in Wisconsin 5 years from now.

  3. I really fucking hated this guy during the Obama administration. He went out of his way to make Obama’s life hell for seemingly no good reason. He would even kill his own bills or bills he previously supported if Obama supported them. Preventing Obama from filling the hated Antonin Scalia’s Supreme Court seat was highway robbery right in plain sight of millions of Americans. It’s disgusting and disappointing that McConnell never suffered any repercussions from this. The republicans prove they value party over country everytime they come to work, but they really showed everyone their true colors when they filled RBG’s seat very quickly after she passed.

    watching McConnell fail on Obamacare repeal will always be my favorite McConnell moment. Watching him give his speech to the president and the American people with egg on his face was priceless.

    We would always marvel at how effective Nancy pelosi was as house speaker. She make’s Republican house speakers look like total idiots with how effectively she runs the house. Begrudgingly. I’ll admit that McConnell was the senate version of pelosi. It seemed like he would always be the guy to push something through that needed to get done. That’s why it was so nice to watch him fail on Obamacare repeal.

    with that said,  McConnell was rarely the voice of reason in Kentucky and in that small aspect he will be missed. When Beshear won his  first governor race, Kentucky republicans were scrambling and running around like chickens with their heads cut off until Mitch spoke out and said “ look guys….. Beshear won. Get over it”. 
     

    in 2020 redistricting, McConnell once again spoke out while Kentucky was crafting their map and said that the democrats “should receive a district”.  Without the presence of McConnell, we might not have a democrat governor or a democrat house member because the rest of the Kentucky republicans are so bat shit crazy.

    Of course there’s a TX democrat party operative idiot in there telling us not to.  I’ve been voting this way for 10 years. I think the point is to just vote against people you hate as much as possible. 
     

    I vote against bathroom Dan, indictment Paxton, and hot wheels Abbott several times a cycle and I love doing it.  They’re a joke.

    Things will get fun when she loses the primary in that new district.  She and her husband will have about 400 K to split in their divorce.  Since they are both legit stupid, white trash, it may be that they don’t agree how to split the assets and they will spend a bunch of lawyers fees revealing bad things about each other that won’t change the community property settlement, but will let their trash flag fly.

    At least I hope so.

    Would be funny if she started an only fans.  If she does,  one person here should bite the bullet, pay, and link everything to us on this thread.

    I thought I would drop this day brighter. That’s 1 million olds no longer pushing the lever.

    We know that old voters are chronic voters, we know that old voters vote in a percentage greater than any other demographic, and we know that old voters tend to vote for Trump.   I see no reason to assume that those deaths spared battleground states -  so those numbers may become relevant in November of this year.

     

    I’ll say it out loud ( on here anyway). As someone who frequently worries about overpopulation and do we have enough food / water / resources to go around?
     

    I was glad covid killed a lot of people. Look at the generations right after world war 2. Things were pretty prosperous for the most part. What was it that Americans had in the 1950’s-1990’s that they don’t have as much of anymore?  Opportunity…….

    Friday night notes

    Loving County is getting an early start on their voting fraud. With 129 voters registered there, 0 have participated in Dem primary and 26 have voted in Republican primary.  NBC News and even the NYTimes have had some good stories the last two years. Don't yell at me if you don't know how to get past a paywall.

    https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/loving-county-texas-voter-fraud-claims-rcna35791

    https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/02/us/loving-county-texas.html - Had to include this cause of the Big Trouble in Little China headline

    Every county that touches the Mexico border had the participation below.Went from south to west in order. I did not count horseshoe counties that are close to touching.

    Thanks for compiling this.  Would be nice to know if lots of these “work a holic” type folks who blamed the dems for the lockdowns have since flipped back after they got jobs and have working lives again.

  8. I usually just vote on the Republican side in the primary to give me another chance at voting against Patrick / Abbott / Paxton / Cruz before going full democrat in the fall. 
     

    already got my vote in.

    I will party when Trump kicks the bucket. Not because I hate him, which I certainly do, but it would be all the tears of the MAGAts that will send me over the celebrity cliff.


    Also I found it amazingly hilarious when some right wing nut job on here tried to be holier than thou about people celebrating this utter shitbag’s death. Imagine defending Rush…really.

    I’m taking that whole week off work and for the first ( and last) time in my life watching Fox News religiously. Oh yeah I also turn it over to Fox News when Republicans are losing elections.

    Este. Allred is going to do what got him here. Beating Pete Sessions was no small feat. 

    Sessions was an idiot. When he lost he said it was basically because of “ the success of the district” and a result of “ how well he did”. No dude….. you lost because your old, creepy, and out of touch.

    Hot take: MT will slowly trend blue and then forcefully flip and never look back ala Colorado.

    Would be awesome if we could take over one of the Montana, Idaho, or dakotas.  Too many easy votes for the gop.

    Oh I don’t know, maybe the Dems could try actually appealing to rural people and agrarian areas of the country as fellow citizens and equals, with problems worth solving and talking about without first chanting a litany of intersectional woes? Tester does that. So does Manchin. So does Bashear. Others can too.

    Republicans aren’t winning working-class people and rural areas by superior force. They are winning by default. 

    Easier said than done. The story goes if you live in a rural part of the country and tell the local people you’re running for congress or a seat on the city council, first thing people ask is “which party?”.  If it’s Republican, they give you a pat on the back or high five and say good luck ole boy. If it’s democrat, they frown and talk about how everything you’re running for is going against them in their lives and they probably won’t support you.

    people just aren’t open minded enough to look at the candidates and what they’re running for.  It’s all about “the team”. Hell look at the race in Colorado house district 4 with Lauren boobert. 7 of the 10 candidates running on the GOP side have been arrested. Can your average person get a decent job or even a job at bucees with a criminal background?  No……. But one of those 7 deadbeats will win the nomination and the house seat because to the rural folks it’s all about “ owning the libs”.

    Polls are polls, but I told y'all, Tester is a strong fucking incumbent.  He is just 100% what someone from Montana is supposed to be. 

    Sheehy is a carpet bagger from Minnesota with a ton of money to self-fund.  He's also never run a political campaign before. 

    I would not be shocked with a Dem President, Dem House and 50/50 Senate.  2020-redux.  But this time, no more Manchin or Sinema. Bye bye filibuster! (with 2026 looming with a potentially open seats in Texas, NC and Maine) 

    Feels like Tester is the new Joe Manchin in a sense that once the dems lose him, the seat is likely gone forever.  I’m not sure what the solution is long term. How many more terms could we expect from Tester?  Peltola could try running for senate in Alaska?  But I’d probably rather Peltola go the way of Don Young and stay in that seat for the next 40 years.

    seems like senate seats are scarcer for dems because the District of Columbia doesn’t have any while the GOP gets senate seats for really small states like Wyoming and north / South Dakota.

    New York Dems response is putting these maps in the trash where they belong

    This tweet tells you all you need to know.  Repubs trying to throw dems a crumb and keep most of the cookie. Dems need to be aggressive here. Repubs didn’t offer nearly as much as they should’ve given the circumstances.  NY gop needed to try and cut their losses by putting up a 19-6 map and hoping the dems would go easy on them a little bit, but this one is way to soft / mild / doesn’t cut deep enough.

    This will be forgotten by the start of next week but if anything it will help Biden. MAGA election denying has been a huge loser in AZ. The more discussed it is the better. It's also a non-binding resolution that has no teeth, likely would not get through AZ's very closely divided legislature (31-29 House, 16-14 Senate), and is DOA on the Governor's desk. Beyond the actual substance of the election integrity issue, it's easy to point to this and remind voters the GOP is wasting their time on pointless nonsense instead of sending Hobbsbills that might actually accomplish something.

     

    They are spooked because AZ has continued to import young people and middle class families priced out of SoCal and they've started losing elections. The state is at the tossup stop right now given the political environment but it's obvious AZ is on the same bus line as Nevada and Colorado were in the 2000's.

    Nevada and Georgia are trending our way. Don’t think it’s able to be stopped or reversible in anyway either. Thank god for that too because the same trends have put Ohio, Florida, and Iowa pretty much totally out of reach for the dems.
