It does. Every other republican on the ballot won by a solid margin, it's just Walker that struggled. Yes, it's infuriating that dems can put a vegetable on the ballot and it apparently won't hurt them significantly (running against Oz certainly helped though), but if the GOP runs a merely...

Yes, the Republicans took the house, barely.

It wasn't "The GOP", it was one guy, and he didn't push anything, he proposed a bill that would go nowhere and didn't have support from the rest of the party. It strikes me as highly unlikely that someone is so plugged in that they know about this bill but didn't know how ill-supported it is...

Doesn't pass the smell test. The GOP needs to have an official position on the matter, and "abortion is wrong and immortal, it destroys an innocent human life.....but I guess cali can turn thier state into a baby abattoir if they want" was not going to fly. Graham's bill was still an ugly...

No he couldn't have, not with that sort of support behind it, and not with an actual need for it given the state lead lockdown policies. The moratorium was mostly BS, yes, and I said he didn't have as tight a rein on the CDC as he should have. But the FAA is entitled to set the rules for air...

While I think Abhorsen is being a tad harsh on Trump over the closures, given how throughly so many politicians around the world bungled this, he's got a point about the CDC stuff. The second Trump got wind of this "we lied to ensure masks were available for frontline workers/racism is a public...

Any distinct group of voters has power, it's not like the liberarians are unique in that sense. What makes them unique is that they are A) ideologically distinct, and B) not very numerous, and the latter bit is the issue. Vs trying to reach to, say, normie soccer moms that aren't politically...

See, I agree that coalition building is needed. Which is why reaching out to the "lol, evil uniparty" people is a waste of time and we're better off going after normie democrats, since at least we can skip the "convince them that republican party actually exists" stage and just convince them to...

Compromise on what? Gay marriage and weed? That's already happening. Foreign policy? How many people are still saying that Iraq and Afghanistan were handled correctly?

There is no such thing as "the uniparty", and running yourself and voting independent are just votes for the democrats. That's 100% the wrong take. In competitive districts, Trump's candidate's regularly lost, sticking with Trump is a lower strategy. What this twit wrongly assumes is there...

No, it wouldn't have passed, because it would never have gotten a vote. Boo hoo. They're a stupid gimmick that's only valid use case is enabling badly aimed, full auto-equivlent fire rates and bypassing the restrictions we have on automatic weapons, restrictions that exist for good reason...

And do you think that Bill would have e seen the light of day in a republican senate? Yeah, I'm really inclined to care about what the people who handed the senate over to the Dems think now that they've done that, and certainly have no desire to take this nice little knife they planted in my...

That seems very stupid and short sighted. A Repulican senate, even with Oz in it, will not pass a gun control bill. A Democrat senate with Fetterman in it very well might (and in fact it did). Arguing about how throwing your vote away on a doomed candidate is actually the good choice just sounds...

Not to rain on your parade, but I think there's no way he stays in the senate for years. My bet is he's there for a few months, then retires and lets the governor appoint a replacement.

I'd love to be wrong on this, but so far it looks like outside of Vance, all of the candidates that were aligning themselves with Trump and his endless attempts to reiterate 2020 are at best struggling, but mostly going down in flames. It looks a lot like popular sentiment was turned against...

With any luck, this puts the final nail in Trump's coffin and we can stop having the party held back by him and his bad choices.

So, the Warnock vs Walker debate was tonight, judging by the fact that the left seems to have fixated on Walker flashing a police badge* as the "lol, he's so owned" rather than him failing to actually respond to something Warnock said, I think Walker seems to have done pretty well. Have seen a...

Yes, both the New Yorker and National Review started making pointed suggestions that she was losing it back in 2020, and NR also suggested that something about her behavior was off in 2018 (though this was during the Kavanagh hearings when every Democrat was acting insane, so it wasn't as obvious).

So, interesting story, Feinstein's probably lost her marbles: Colleagues worry Dianne Feinstein is now mentally unfit to serve, citing recent interactions There's been rumors of this for years now, but this the latest and loudest time someone's said it.
