JD spends time talking about his hair, chick shows, his convertible and FGL - he may not be gay but he's trending in that direction. NTTAWWT.
This is huge for me...I despite Marsha Blackburn and early on she was supposed to be safe. She is running into a guy who did well as Mayor of Nashville and then as Governor of Tennessee who is not seen as a hyper partisan liberal. This is the seat Corker is vacating and she has been running as a full on Trump gal
Also remarkable but fantastic, Ward is a real nutso.
Actually there will be a special election in 2020 for the remaining 2 year of his term.
They don't really seat a senator for 2 years without an election, do they?
36 states allow the Governor to appoint a replacement Senator.
They're tougher, but in AZ we're targeting CD-6 and CD-8 here, too. Lesko (CD-8) won a +20 Trump district by less than 5% in the special election, and Hiral Tipirneni was building the ground game on the fly. Now the D presence has been there for a few months so there's a an outside chance.
FL27 is a guaranteed Dem pickup. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen is retiring, it's a very liberal district, and GOP couldn't get any top-tier recruits. Only question is whether it will be former HHS Secretary/UM President Donna Shalala or state rep David Richardson who gets the nomination.
McSally was asked if Jeff Flake was a good senator and she refused to comment.
Not to pick on you, but I hear stuff like this a lot and it's a good demonstration of a) how people don't understand the way politics work in this country and b) how screwed up our political system is.
I struggle with this. I understand that voting for a republican is essentially voting for congress to remain republican, but a good conservative who is honorable and serving the needs of his constituents should not be discounted. We need good people in office, just just Ds or Rs. If Curbelo is a good man he will stand up against Trump when he needs to.
The problem with the current GOP base is Gillum doesn’t have to actually be implicated to be implicated. He’s that colored fella who was mayor when the FBI was investigating Tallahassee. Of course he’s guilty.
Yes. I was undecided on Gillum until the last minute, and it was the FBI investigation that gave me the most pause. Part of what worried me is that something big could drop in the fall that mortally wounds his campaign, but that's less of a concern than what you describe. It becomes this cloud that hangs over him, and plays into subconscious (or not so subconscious) sentiments about him being a "criminal".
"Disappointing but not disqualifying" says GOP PAC directors as they continue to funnel money to his campaign.
Hm, no. However I do think the race is hours old yet DeSantis did something so stupid normal people would never do it at work, at a party or wherever, and yet here he is a practiced professional politician on a tv interview.
