117th-118th United States Congress: Don't Be An Idiot

[Tyche]

GOP have a few good presidential candidates, meanwhile the democratic bullpen consists of a president that'll be in his mid-80s and...I don't know...Gretchen Whitmer?

The thing is half his base doesn't believe he lost.

You guys keep trying to make this DeSantis argument with conventional political talking points, as if the last 6 years didn't happen.

if dismissing statistical data that doesn't fit your vibe-based analysis as conventional talking points is your big takeaway from the last six years you really do spend too much time on r/conservative

Excuse me, this is Pritzker and Newsom slander. Whitmer's term would last until 2026 unless she departed early but she is popular as hell and I guarantee you doesn't have a fucking kompromat file about her somewhere in Putin's basement like practically every man politician on Earth apparently.

None of that shit matters when we're talking about Trump.

r/conservative agrees with you btw. That should tell you everything you need to know as well.

Gonna laugh if Trump announces he's running before the Georgia runoff and fucks over Herschel Walker as a result.

the cupboard is quite barren, has been since Barry O left. Biden is a fossil with an actively melting brain, Kamala exceptionally unlikable. few Dems have much presence on the national stage at all beyond the intensely polarizing like AOC, or the warriors of yesteryear like Bernie. next best thing will prolly have to come from deeper on the bench. Obam came out of nowhere himself to be the most popular Dem since Kennedy nay

America will never elect a fattie, Pritzker is out, and Newsom does not have national appeal. Whitmer is just a bit boring but maybe.

Whatever happens with this election at least it still looks like Dems will have their popular Salmon Queen. Would never ever imagine a Dem would be elected to the House from Alaska in a midterm.

speaking of Alaska Murkowski and Tshibaka are heading to a ranked choice run-off. seat remains GOP either way but Murkowski is of course one of the most moderate Republican Senators, few were likelier to cross the aisle than her. would be a bad indirect loss for Dems in the years to come if the seat goes to the Trumpie Tshibaka.

[Tyche]

I'd assume a very large subset of Dem voters strategically went Murkowski at 2, no? Wouldn't a runoff favor her?

[Andalusian girls]

absolutely it ought to, we'll all find out together on the 23rd. Tshibaka is up 2% atm, but the 3rd place Dem got 9% of the vote, 4th place Republican (who endorsed Tshibaka) 3%. gonna be tight but enough Dems ranking Murkowski 2nd out of that 9% ought push her over the finish line.

[Tyche]

Not great for Masto. Not a death knell, but not what she wanted. Sissolak is def dead.

In my dreams, Jon Stewart runs for president. I'd vote super hard for Pete B and Katie P

[Fiye]

Im still waiting for the Republican cure for inflation.

Its lower taxes duh

[Forte]

This is some furious hateboner edging going on.

[Tymon]

Have to wonder where the remaining votes are and who they favor in CO.

i would think newsom is gonna be the leading candidate by then

[Krandor]

Newson is definitely gearing up for a presidential run

Wait, do they not use Ranked Choice for Senate as well?

I will suck my own dick if Gavin Newsome cracks the top 3. Sticky this.
