if they have an anti immigration position, I think that's really the only metric to care about

my goal is to have RAISE passed

Bannon's strategy of warring against establishment cucks should have started in Trump's 2nd term, not his 1st

yeah, Flake and Corker have really been the only ones who have posed an issue legislatively who are up this year, looking at Alabama, that should've never been lost

Going after Strange was foolish, he voted for Trump's agenda 98% of the time

his goal was to take out McConnell, but by just pushing Moore into the nomination and abandoning the campaign after the allegations, he's given McConnell more clout than he could've ever imagined

now we're asking the question "is this guy going to be a risk" after what happened because of Bannon

the thing is, I wonder how many primary voters flipped from Strange to Moore after Bannon's endorsement

does Bannon really hold that much clout among GOP primary voters?

another thing, bringing the guy from Blackwater to run in Wyoming is such a ridiculous idea, what has he even done in the state

he's just someone who worked for Breitbart

and became a prominent figure in the Trump administration after Trump won, but...I don't see how that translates to political clout among voters

the thing is, a lot of people had it in their heads that he was the voice behind MAGA, and that he was what won the campaign

I think Moore might have won the primary regardless

oh look at that

hello

Hi

State?

"a lot of people had it in their heads that he was the voice behind MAGA, and that he was what won the campaign"

I think he helped with the "grab her by the pussy" allegations by giving the idea to bring Bill Clinton's accusers but wasn't he in support of Cruz during the primaries?

I think that idea is pushed by the media

I'm not sure how many GOP primary voters would vote for someone in the primary just because Bannon endorsed them

@Nuke what state are you from

I think that Trump's endorsement would've been enough to win Strange the primary, but the thing is at the time people had the idea that Bannon was a MAGA agent working outside the White House on Trump's command

Moore was popular among conservatives in Alabama for quite some time

He was known for his religious rulings as a judge for decades,

Bannon or not, he was always likely to win the primary

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 yeah, I think I might have heard of Moore years ago back when that 10 Commandment thing was in the news

there's no real way of knowing now I guess

he definitely shouldn't have watched football during that last weekend though

God, I hope another scandal doesn't break out in the near future

here's something very important to keep in mind: people on /pol/ and other right wing spaces on the Internet ....are NOT the same thing as GOP voters

during those last few days of the presidential campaign, Trump was fucking grinding it with those rallies, 4 states in a day, that's the mentality we need

there are many, many GOP voters who are old people who don't even know how to use the Internet that well

There are two types of GOP voters,

small town voters without college degrees, and college-educated voters in the suburbs

people from /pol/ would have been fine voting for Moore, but some old lady getting her news from local talk radio (which apparently railed hard against Moore), would have voted write-in or abstained

Trump is popular amongst the first, but not the other, which poses trouble for the midterms

the thing is, people aren't voting for Trump in the midterms

I'd argue that people are overemphasizing it as a "referendum on Trump"

I thought that too, but,
