gimme dat tl;dr
In CA the top two people in a primary go to the general
so its possible that the top two could be two Republicans since there's so many Democrats running it would split the vote among them
whoa
In districts that are currently republicans at least
we should keep quiet about this
In this case, we could push the most obscure candidates in the district w/ sockpuppets, that way we can pave the road for this to happen.
Yeah exactly
If the gop approves this monstrosity— a repudiation of the President’s position on the core issue he was elected on— the party deserves to die. And rest assured, it will
Who is supporting it in the house?
And the senate
8 GOP Senators
No House GOPers
Do you have a list of who they are?
Senator Rounds, Senator Isakson, Sen Alexander, Senator Collins, lisa murkowski, Jeff Flake, Lindsey Graham, Cory Gardner
Flake's seat is the only R on that list going up for reelection this year, and that issue has already been taken care of.
Trump'll veto it if it gets passed, I doubt the House'll pass it
18 days until DACA (hopefully) dies
Yeah, we definitely have to work on that
remember,
the GOP candidate won UNOPPOSSED last time
The incumbent resigned on a scandalous basis, that depresses the party's population, same thing happened in my district in '06.
Stabenow explains vote: “I’m just not a supporter of sanctuary cities.” Says “better way to do things”
Stabenow could be more vulnerable than we think
huh
@🎃Boo-ton🎃 you think that will make her vulnerable to progressives not voting for her because of that ?
no, i'm suggesting if she were to vote against her own party like that then she must be seeing insider polling that shows her vulnerable against moderates and conservatives
insider polling is something only they can see right?
ye, it's when they pay for it
I wonder if they're even more accurate than the ones we see
I wonder if Stabenow is swingable party-wise? Is this her only conservative position?
as far as I can tell, yes
@FLanon @🎃Boo-ton🎃 are we in agreement that 'based black man' John James is the best candidate for the GOP nomination for senator in Michigan
pretty much
probably, he has a good rap w/ Detroit business, which could be helpful
Stabenow will no doubt win in that area, but making the margins close could be key for a victory
The veteran stuff's also helpful
He's a fresh face, pretty decently down the line on the issues, vet which is always helpful, a businessman from Detroit, and on the other side you have a tired incumbent who's been elected in the same state for decades. The anti-establishment angle could be helpful, and with the anti-sanctuary position that Stabenow's taking, if we can divide the Dems and make Stabenow look like a "Trump collaborator", MI can be a victory.
