Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:I'm sure the money played a role, but I'm kind of surprised the actual Republican primary voters went along with it against Trump. It's not like McCormick was a household name or a conservative media star beforehand. PA has a ton of the GOP version of the much derided Panera Bread voter. People with bios much like McCormick. It's not all red hat overall wearing yahoos. Oz himself is an Ivy League elite, he just happens to be one with TV celebrity and a Trump endorsement.

This was literally in last night's episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-YRSqaPtMg&t=375s Bishyaler posted:LWT points out all the problems with capitalism without actually blaming capitalism. I never called him a socialist or that his views were even "good." But if you compare his views in the beginning of the series to today, things have changed. Like yesterday he called for that nationalization of energy companies. Season 1 Oliver would have absolutely campaigned on "allowing more companies in to have competition" as the solution.

Woo! Cawthorn got primaried! https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/17/madison-cawthorn-gop-primary-results-polls-close-in-north-carolina.html CNBC posted:Rep. Madison Cawthorn, the scandal-prone freshman lawmaker backed by former President Donald Trump, conceded defeat in his Republican primary election, Cawthorns spokesman told reporters Tuesday night. I don't know anything about the guy that won the primary. Chances are, he's worse than Cawthorn. E: gently caress, beaten. But I posted an article!

Bugsy posted:https://twitter.com/Redistrict/status/1526771305080561664 Idaho is fully run by the crazies, since the Governor is basically just a rubber stamp for whatever stupid poo poo the legislature passes, and everyone running the state is batshit crazy. In the last few years, Idaho has attempted to make it illegal for investigate journalists to report about diaries, tried to leave the Powerball because it's involved in a vast conspiracy for Australia to take all our guns away, briefly made collecting child support outside the state impossible because the legislature thought it was going to lead to Sharia law, and had the Lieutenant Governor attempt to invade Mexico when the Governor left the state for 48 hours.

loving hilarious. He sacrificed literally everything in the altar of Trump and debased himself on a national level, and he has both a very memorable name and attributes that ensure anyone even tangentially aware of his shenanigans will go at the very least "oh yeah, the incestual mouth rapist" if they meet him. Christ I love it when the true believers get hosed over.

Yes it isn't possible for them to be on the ticket together, and even if it was, Trump would never share the spotlight with an ego like desantis.

I doubt it would happen anyway, but Trump has enough residences that he could just shift his registration to another state to get around it. It's a vestigial rule in the first place, only somebody like @occupydemocrats would make a big deal about it.

So then no way this happens then since the GOP obviously need Florida's EV's. Also, like Dubar pointed out, Trump will never share the republican spotlight with a riser like DeSantis. He's going to pick someone that challenged the election and believes in the voter fraud poo poo.

Dems are probably praying for another 2010 or 2012, where every single economic, political, and geographic fundamental absolutely should have resulted in the Republicans taking the Senate with a 2 to 4 seat majority, but they had crazy people nominated and constantly blow it by talking about legitimate rape, witchcraft, or being someone that Republican primary voters loved who was hated by the state at large. https://twitter.com/JessicaTaylor/status/1526734125910085632 Republicans are already trying to throw Mastriano under the bus and blame him for any loss in PA. Barletta would have been a heavy favorite to win if he was the nominee. https://twitter.com/HotlineJosh/status/1526733246297415681 https://twitter.com/hollyotterbein/status/1526382398287536129 https://twitter.com/kenvogel/status/1526243589126332420

Amazing wins by some non-DMFI/Pelosi-sponsored candidates last night. Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Dems are probably praying for another 2010 or 2012, where every single economic, political, and geographic fundamental absolutely should have resulted in the Republicans taking the Senate with a 2 to 4 seat majority, but they had crazy people nominated and constantly blow it by talking about legitimate rape, witchcraft, or being someone that Republican primary voters loved who was hated by the state at large. The Dems lost six Senate seats in 2010 and 63 House seats.  I guess it might've been worse, but you're damning with faint praise here.

I mentioned to someone last night that common sense says the upcoming election is an absolute bloodbath for Democrats, but the variables are enormous. On top of all the usual uncertainties, the Dobbs decision hangs over everything like the sword of Damocles. Some of PA's results were surprising, and I'll point again to Democrats having a higher vote total there as an interesting thing to take note of. It feels like whatever we think we know about this election right now could be completely and utterly wrong within a few months. Which isn't unusual, I guess, but I've spent the past 1.5 years assuming this year's election was a complete lock for Republicans to demolish the field and poo poo might not shake out that way.

Willa Rogers posted:Amazing wins by some non-DMFI/Pelosi-sponsored candidates last night. That is exactly the point. The discrepancy between the House performance and the Senate performance. They blew 5 Senate seats with extremely winnable races in 2010. Mike Castle was polling 25+ points ahead of Chris Coons (who volunteered for the race as a sacrificial lamb and ended up a Senator) and had been a Republican Governor in Delaware for 8 years and had been re-elected to a statewide office in Delaware every election cycle since 1969. They should have had control of the Senate - 2010 was a historic disaster of a midterm for Democrats and Republicans still managed to lose the Senate by blowing races in West Virginia of all places. And they followed that up by blowing Senate races in Montana, North Dakota, Florida, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, and Virginia by nominating terrible candidates. Blowing 12 Senate seats in 2 years - including races where you had 25+ point leads or in states that are R+30 - during the same year you had the largest midterm victory for your party in history is ridiculous. Especially since every single one of those races were "Solid R" or "Lean R" before they nominated their candidate.
