how to lose an election: 1. hold fundraisers in dc instead of meeting with constituents 2. try to sue the state to block hikers from using a river near your property 3. assault a reporter a day before the election

if gianforte wins, republicans have to deal with a colleague charged with misdemeanor assault who may have to spend the first six months of his term in a county jail. he's going to enter congress universally loathed and an easy target for 2018. i'll be happy if the democrats are within single digits in montana. there's no reason the race should be as close as it is.

Demon Of The Fall posted:He'll get nothing but high fives and that a boys from his buddies and won't spend a minute in jail why would any congressional republican want to be associated with a guy charged with assaulting a reporter? i get that cynicism is often this thread's schtick, but it is difficult for me to imagine a world where alleged assault is a positive for a republican candidate. even if public response ends up being muted, every one of his colleagues is going to wonder when he might snap again and if he is worth spending tons of money to defend in the next cycle. at best, he gets tolerated. game this out for me. i know that anne coulter and rush limbaugh might embrace him, because being crude is part of their brand, but endorsing attacks on journalists is still beyond the pale for most politicians and an extreme political liability.

as an addendum to my previous posts, let me just emphasize that quist is a banjo-playing political newcomer with tax problems and a tendency to put his foot in his mouth at the worst possible moments. the democratic party has spent relatively little money on this race compared to its opponents. half of the president's administration have descended upon the state to campaign for their candidate. somehow, despite all these advantages, strategists were freaking out about a potential upset before yesterday's body slam. people should not feel disappointed even if gianforte wins, because this district was not meant to be competitive.

Queering Wheel posted:From what I hear, he isn't weak at all. Quist has lots of good positions and seems to be well liked and has campaigned very hard all over the state for this. i could be misremembering, as i am not a resident of montana, but doesn't quist have serious tax lien and debt-collection problems? i also remember him fumbling with the whole gun issue. i get democrats being happy with his views, but if i were a strategist, quist would not be my first choice.

What is it with this thread and food? ISeeCuckedPeople posted:How is Quist a weak candidate? I view him as the opposite. I view him as the best kind of Democrat candidate and the only kind of Democratic candidate that can win in rural regions outside of Clintonite Millionaires. And we all know why those suck STAC Goat posted:I'll defer to people who have paid more attention. The stuff I've read is that he's got no political experience or resume and troubling tax stuff, and he kind of got up on his name and we'll traveled career and campaigning. That last part obviously is good for a candidate (and good ideas are of course good as much as they mean anything without any kind of resume that they're more than words) but that earlier stuff seemed to be a bit of an unnecessary handicap that the Dems should be able to build on. QuoProQuid posted:i could be misremembering, as i am not a resident of montana, but doesn't quist have serious tax lien and debt-collection problems? i also remember him fumbling with the whole gun issue.

trump has been president for less than 150 days and the story is about 20 people at a single townhall in california if you are worried about that, i'm surprised you haven't had a stroke about literally everything else in the news e: Josh Lyman posted:Almost all the young people I saw interviewed after the convention who were Bernie supporters said they'd stick with him or vote Stein, and considering how we all thought Hillary had the election won, they probably voted that way.

Jaxyon posted:No talking about coal is lazy because it's clearly a dogwhistle to "good white industry jobs" and acting like it isn't is lazy as hell. Coal voters don't matter. People who are being fired up by making coal a partisan issue do. i'm glad we're now measuring human worth by the size of a person's voting bloc. next time someone complains to me about the decline of their community and their livelihood, im just going to answer "well, yeah, but mining and manufacturing is an increasingly small part of the american economy and..." the declining quality of life in communities across west virginia, kentucky, and pennsyvlania should be a concern for americans. the democrats ignore those issues at their own peril.

Morning Joe didn't say much of anything that wasn't in the op-ed, but I expect that the show was geared toward an audience of one. Scarborough did relay a story from "a senior member of Congress" who called him after Trump went on a "twenty-minute rant" in front of multiple legislators about Morning Joe and Mika specifically. Scarborougha further claimed that White House aides had warned him that the president was "increasingly agitated" by Mika and talked about "blood coming out of her eyes and ears." They also claimed that when they visited Mar-a-Lago, Trump shuffled them into his bedroom. It is a weird detail. QuoProQuid fucked around with this message at 12:27 on Jun 30, 2017 |
