McTumor wont make it to 2020

hopefully he retires

@Markus Anthony we prioritized electability with the list, we're hoping to avoid another Moore, that's all

Flake is retiring and he is up in 2018, which I think means that we need an AZ candidate right?

@Markus Anthony Yeah, and McSally is the one

Oh oops

Skipped that part

and if McCain dies this year, we have a chance at electing an uncucked GOP Senator in his place

now Democrats are hoping for the opportunity to pick up 2 seats in Arizona because of that

likewise, we have the opportunity to pick up 2 seats in one go in Minnesota

careful now, Arizona is a purple state

Whats the deal with romney and hatch?

Romney is a dem vote

just like flake and McTumor have been

so we can count them as Dem votes for immigration issues and the wall

which is funny because Doug Jones went with the GOP in the last few votes

Did he?

@Markus Anthony imagine the butthurt if Doug Jones turns out to be at least a more GOP oriented Senator than McCain

@FLanon Doug Jones' Trump score is 100% so far

Well shit

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/doug-jones/

actually, not recently

but he was at 100% for the first four votes

Huh, I wonder what he'd vote on w/ concern to immigration?

He has to realize that his seat's going to be taken when it comes up, right?

the thing is, if I were Doug Jones, I'd know I basically have no chance in 2020

so I'd just vote straight Dem all the way

but I don't think he'll do that

With this record, this is something interesting

he voted against the shutdown, which got leftists butthurt against him

Earlier you mentioned, as a joke, about a dem running and then betraying the party line

I think there's a nonzero chance that just happened

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/

I'd have to see his vote on immigration before I make any real judgements, because that's always revealing, but this is definitely unprecedented

currently Jones is the most Trumpian out of all the D senators, but I wonder how that'll turn out

Maybe it has to do with time and all that

But damn

WV had someone flip

I think it was the governor

Yeah

@Markus Anthony I think Joe Manchin, the Democrat "blue dog" Senator, is considering switching

Jim Justice

Dem politicians in white working class areas are starting to see that the Dem party isnt a party for them anymore

Heitkamp should flip too

she really needs to

The fucking House Liberty Caucus is more leftist than Jones

@Markus Anthony I just hope the GOP properly funds their candidates like they're supposed to

they haven't been doing that in the special elections, to @🎃Boo-ton🎃 's dismay

We all wish for flips to happen and for politicians to give Schumer the middle finger but we can't count on that

I think it might be because they hold such strong majorities in state legislatures already that they don't care if Democrats pick up a few seats

they have the money compared to the DNC. but we know how they are since the Moore thing

What did Jones run on policy wise?

@Markus Anthony Yeah, but this year a bunch of establishment R's will be running

@FLanon he's in Alabama so he ran as a conservative Democrat

Did he even spout any of the left wing dogma or was it just anti-Moore

But heres the thing, the DNC money issue isn't the whole story, the story is that people arent donating to DNC but instead to local groups or special interest groups

There is still the money out there, just not in the DNC bank account

There is a black muslim runnign the show, who really wants to give money to the DNC

Dems R the Real Racists

Literally the only position I can think of is abortionism

it was anti-moore

it was a referendum on pedophilia

It's some crazy shit I guess

Not sure how Moore in the Senate would have affected the GOP image now that I think about it

Huh

The media framed the election as a referendum on if you support 32 year olds dating 15 yr olds

The J-left media is very good at framing these things

Yeah, drudge and Fox in particular shilled extremely hard to the point I've cut those from my media circulation entirely

Mo Brooks was our guy. The GOP nuked him.

Moore was never our guy.

Its just stupid that Bannon decided to still support Moore.

Moore never put out a position on immigration.

He shouldve let McConnel eat the L

He has his cancer situation sorted out I believe so in 2020 he may take Jones's seat

Immigration is the key issue

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 did you mean Jones?

Mo Brooks is an immigration hardliner

McConnell owns this L. Bannon decided to support Moore and make the L bannons. This killed Bannons nationalist uprising

Moore definitely put out a position

is that so

His positions didnt make it past the accustations

I remember him on the campaign trail talking about "we need to secure the border" etc

he didnt debate either

Yeah, reason he lost IMO

Why the fuck wouldn't you debate

He did against Strange, but when it matters, in the general election, he blew it off

he thought he had it in the bad

bag

Despite the GOP dropping all funding.

They have him 5k I think

5k for a senate campaign

It's AL, no one thought he would lose

With concern to Bannon, his career is now dead anyway. For better or for worse.

there was a lot of fraud. I bet the guys crunching the numbers were too naive to account for that

Bannon killed his own career

What a fat stupid drunk

he couldve made the netx tea party

I don't know how the president of fucking Blackwater is a nationalist candidate and suitable for Wyoming

He could have fucked that one too

He supported Moore. That ended everything. Moore is not a nationalist and Bannon bet his career on this guy
