Stormfagging would carry much more impact from someone who actually can vote for legislation
now, it would massively threaten their reelection chances, but if your objective is to bring a lot of attention to radical ideas, you're better off waiting until you're actually in office
the shallnotcensor bill he put up looks perfect
lmao I was thinking that as well. Nehlen doesn't talk like a radical right-winger or seems like one
Looking at some of the interviews
it'd really even the playing field
he definitely went all out
one idea that popped into my head after thinking about what Macron is doing in France, is this
not sure if that tactic is good enough, I don't think he has a great chance, but watching him speak live he seems amicable to the average person I think
a future radical right winger is better off pretending to be a cuck for years to win office as a leftist, then show his true colors
Oh yeah. Macron is nowhere near left wing. He's more neoliberal, sort of like the Clintons
a shift in the overton window is much more effective when a person in elected office does it rather than a candidate
I mean, take a look at the shithole situation, you have people on Fox and average Trump supporters dissing Haiti, when they'd never dare to before he said it
imagine if someone runs as a generic liberal and wins the Presidency as a Democrat, then turns out to be even more of a radical right winger than Trump...they'd probably lose reelection but it wouldn't matter much
however it's an unrealistic strategy
lol imagine if bernie did that
that kind of stuff is good for fanfiction, but I wouldn't count on it realistically
the kind of person crazy enough to pretend to be the opposite of what they stand for, for so many years in order to avoid suspicion, would be too crazy to actually win
it's like those 4d chess guys who talk about mueller being a Trump agent, you have to take some things the way they are
not everything is some machiavellian scheme
they're both hated within their own party
I don't doubt it's possible
I thought they had low approval ratings because AZ is shifting more liberal idk
it's partly that
Also, Ted Cruz is hated with both the Republicans and Democrats, but he's really popular here in TX
Senate Republicans and Democrats*
partly because they're hated by many in the right as well
Ted Cruz seems hated by other GOP politiicans, but not really the electorate in the same way McCain is
Flake and McCain are risks when it comes to ordinary R legislation
Ted stays on the ball when it comes to getting stuff done in the senate though
The best thing Trump could do heading in to the midterms is avoid further drama
lmao that's the one thing we can count on not happening
A weekly/monthly cycle of negative Trump headlines depresses GOP turnout
That and the media/twitter makes its own drama surrounding him now. Trump could jaywalk and it would be national news for a week.
one thing I think could give him the edge is the possibility of the clintons going down
Oh right,
if it happens near the midterms I could definitely see it galvanizing a lot of Rs
they reopened the investigation, for those that don't know
but,
It could have little effect if Democrats disavow Hillary en masse
