He’s now blaming others for the struggles of the Texas Senate candidate he endorsed, Ken Paxton.

When you get turnout differences like this - it‘a likely the low propensity maga men aren’t coming out. 🎉

Oil prices are surging as the Ukraine invasion and Iran war escalate. It doesn't take until 2 weeks for these increases to be passed onto gas You know what else happens in 2 weeks? The midterms

Yea not a bad analogy. She indulges it but not to the point where the police need to be called.

Oh and remember how he was famously disciplined during the election and kept his most insane actions and beliefs under wraps? That was her, she convinced him to not be psychotic for 9 months so he could win and stay out of jail.

She is the only adult in the room left, she's a f-ing c-word but she's the one who keeps him disciplined and keeps the presidency on rails, and importantly he listens to her. Think of it as 12 year old on a bender kicking his mom out and his friends are Stephen Miller and Pete Hegseth.

Some of you are too young to remember this but what cratered McCain’s campaign was his economic advisor (Phil Gramm) saying that the 2008 GFC was a “mental recession.” Thoughts and prayers, GOP.

We've gotten so used to Trump defying political gravity for so long, and resigned ourselves to nothing matters/nothing happens. But what if the magic has run out and the most obvious things are now in fact happening...

Ha, I wrote the same this morning. It genuinely makes no sense for Kansas to be such a solid blue state - it's too suburban and too college educated. Marshall's flaws (corruption, healthcare etc) are tailor made for this political environment as are Hamilton's upsides. I'm a Blansas believer.

The narrative seems to be the Republicans have lost the house and now the are diverting resources to save the senate etc etc. I mean, ok, but if you're losing R+15 house seats, the environment is bad enough, money won't save you.

A wild card in this election, many of the Republican candidates are running in competitive races for the first time in their lives & don't know how to do persuasion/gotv. This is the first year Collins is really facing headwinds. Even in 2020 there was defund, Covid backlash etc. It all helps us.

My brother's girlfriend is from rural Maine and says even her MAGA family is very upset at the Iran war. They will still vote R but I think it just points to another thing dragging her down.

Conventional wisdom. The conventional wisdom is she's special, moderate, overperformer, brings money to the state etc etc. But that was true of Tester and Manchin too before reality caught up to them.

I've been a longtime Blansas believer 🤣. I just think Kansas as a deep red state doesn't make sense - it's too suburban and too college educated. I think Hamilton's past as a Republican / Minister helps a lot, and as I said Marshall's flaws (like Paxton's) hit the biggest issues for voters.

Re Texas - I'm gonna buck the CW and say I don't think Talarico's unearthed "woke" statements will hurt him that much. They'd cry work / trans on any Dem and did it even with Allred. He's a fresh face & that helps. Ok, that's all folks.

IA: Hinson is a great recruit, Iowa is red. But this is the race I am least confident in. MI: Abdul has run a bad campaign, too arrogant, poor outreach to Black voters kills you in MI, Islamophobia will hurt him. We think Benson pulls him up, just as likely he hurts her. But environment is D+9 so...

AK: Red state but Peltola is excellent. OH: Ohio will always disappoint me 🤣 but Brown is exceptional. Only lost by 3.5 in a 2.5 year, it's math. TX: Same as AK except Paxton is radioactive. KS: Hamilton is exceptional, Marshall is terrible, hits all the major dings - corruption, healthcare, etc.

Explanations: NC/GA - obvious MN: Walz made MN competitive with mismanaged governance. ME: I have always been a Maine CW truther. Her only + is bringing money to a poor state but she's run out of juice. Dobbs killed her moderate label. Gas, heating, tariffs, Iran You can't survive Dobbs + all that.

Yea I think any calls to unequivocally support Israel for example are insane. And it’s not even Netanyahu - demographically it’s going in the wrong direction. I think we need to separate antisemitism at home and Israel completely.

I think Abdul should be a lot more vocal in condemning an antisemitic hate crime that happened in his own state. They are still his constituents and we would extend that to any other group. I have a really really staunch line on antisemitism while I genuinely dgaf about Israel and hate Bibi/Likud.

I think Mamdani's whole arrest Netanyahu thing was a mistake, it riled up antisemitism. I think Abdul hasn't been great on antisemitism either. A lot of the newer candidates are not great on this issue either.

Yes, but we should push back against it and make clear that rhetoric is not ok within the party and the party leadership especially should be vocal about this. While the situation isn't the same as 9/11, the implication at home is the same - we should disavow bigotry no matter what.

If you can’t accommodate the simple request of “don’t excuse neo Nazi mass murderers and don’t yell antisemitic threats to my kid at college” you’re a fucking asshole and we should kick YOU out of the party.
