Definitely suggestive of an effort by the NoTrumps vote to coalesce around Haley. More notable than Vivek fading away (which was entirely predictable) is Haley shooting past DeSantis.

How deep is his appetite for humiliation?

If Vivek had sent me 2 mailers a week for the last 3 months like Haley did then maybe he would be doing better?

Doug Burgum was in the last debate. If you type in his name in google it suggests you want "Doug Burgum Gift Card". He got into the debate by mailing out $20 gift cards to people, apparently.

I live in a purple state and in 2022 I honestly thought I might be having a “Big Short” moment because there were so.many.republican.signs for the MAGA candidates that won the primaries. I was like “this is not good for our Dems” and then the polls started showing coin-flip chances and I got worried.

And then, the Republicans got loving spanked by double digits. It was incredible. And so what I learned was (a) polls are trash still and (b) it’s easy to be convinced that the louder party is the majority. And these loving people don’t know how to be anything but loud.

I’m not saying there isn’t work to do to make sure Biden wins in ‘24, but you have to think about how many people actually think life would improve under a Trump admin, when we all know inflation is baked into the economy no matter who wins, and then vote that way. The old R’s have it right, generic Republican would probably smash Biden to bits…too bad they have an albatross in Trump….

I live in a purple state and the situation was much bleaker in 2022.

NC is a poster child for what America will look like if Republicans ever get enough power. Dems have completely failed to consolidate a state that has more favorable demographics than GA, and they fail hard at motivating turnout.

When your supporters lose rights and have their quality of life reduced your message can't be "well, it's the supreme court. or it's gerrymandering. we can't do anything for the next 50 years. Vote for us to keep it from getting worse". Your voters will give up unless you provide a clear roadmap to getting those things back and a clear set of things they can expect when they get there. You have to indicate a willingness to fight and be as ruthless as Republicans are.

Is Doug Burgum the only candidate mailing out fliers that don't, at first glance, look like attack fliers on themselves? The apex of my graphic design skills is realizing font should contrast with the background to be legible, and I'm honestly baffled how anything other than cosplay-cowboy managed to even make it to the printer.

Maybe they've all been so caught up in attack mailers sine the 90s that they've honestly forgotten how to choose candidate photos, fonts, and layouts that don't look scary/off-putting.

It really sucks being in the Boston market during primary season, because since the entirety of New Hampshire lives on the border to mass and just leaches off the boston market we get inundated with New hampshire primary ads.

So while watching football today first I got 3 separate commercials in the Haley - DeSantis fight.

Nikki Haley is actually weak on China, she gave some company land 5 miles away from an army base

Ron DeSantis is a sad crying baby. he doesn't want to protect america, unlike Nikki who will defeat China.

Nikki Haley wants to weaken the border so Hamas can infiltrate with a million MS-13 super soldiers.

You guys are babies. I live in Virginia, with odd-year state elections, so every year is an election year. The last football game had back-to-back-to-back commercials from local Republicans trying to convince me that the Democrats were happy to let rapists loose in the streets.

Polls are fairly even, although I’ve seen a slight edge to dems. So possibly we stay split, but this is pilling for a state legislature so it’s iffy territory. Youngkin does have approval over 50% by a thin margin, but he his election was before Roe got overturned, and he’s been getting flack for already turning his eye to loftier ambitions by focusing on campaigning for out-of-state Republicans and the whispers of a 2024 or 2028 presidential. This is not uncommon for VA governors given their single term limit, but it is earlier than normal for them to already look towards the national stage.

Soooo…I dunno. We got a lot of other variables like redistricting, but I feel like we should at least keep the legislature split. VA Dems were dumbasses in 2021, and they seemed to have learned from that and aren’t just screaming Trump expecting to win. Christ if I’m not tired of seeing transphobic attack ads though.

I'd say that short guys do have hurdles in some aspects of life. The funny thing is average rear end height dipshits like DeSantis who get bent out of shape about their height. You know all the guys who swear they're six foot even but seem to be 2 inches shorter than the 6 mark on the side of the gas station door.
