Need some spin on the Cohen news
lawyer does tax fraud and wants less prison time
so he accepts it
isn't it being built?
Cohen's attorney, Lanny Davis, was just on Maddow and said Cohen is willing to tell Mueller everything he knows - collusion and hacking included
Lanny Davis: "Mr. Cohen has knowledge on certain subjects that should be of interest to the special counsel and is more than happy to tell the special counsel all that he knows."
This is annoying
Jesus
He plead guilty. He should be quiet
well, let's see "what he knows"
As expected, nothing noteworthy from Alaska and Wyoming.
One thing though: Trump's endorsed candidate lost to the winner by 6%.
It was an admittedly last minute endorsement but apparently it was late enough.
There's nothing I've found which suggest Mark Gordon isn't a good fellow so likely not an issue.
A minor white pill
Some notes on the Wyoming primary
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/08/21/us/elections/results-wyoming-primary-elections.html
114k votes cast in the Governor Republican primary. This is a big turnout number, about 1/5th of the state population I think.
It's actually crazier than that
99k votes cast for the Republican in the GENERAL
This is a huge turnout boost from 2014 and definitely bucks the trend we've been seeing
Meanwhile, the Democratic vote has decreased from 2014 in the primary
Interesting to see whether this translates similarly in other heavily rural states.
Or at the very least rural populations of such states.
Hopefully this is the start of a new trend, I'd wait for other primaries before coming to that conclusion, but this is the kind of result you'd expect from 2010
They talk of a "blue wave" but no blue wave of theirs this year could ever touch the red storm of 2010.
If results like Wyoming persist, this could be the turn of the tide
Also looking at all Governor primaries in Wyoming stretching back to 1990 (they won't give me primary results from before), this election last night in Wyoming had the highest Republican primary vote total in the history of the state, as well as the lowest Democratic primary vote total in the history of the state.
Definitely the model we want for all elections, this result in Wyoming is our ideal "Red Storm" turnout change for the country, if we get that kind of turnout on our side in the rest of the country, we'll have a congressional mandate going next year.
