but the question is

Will Republicans in 2018 sit on their asses like Democrats in 2010?

my current prediction is that there will essentially be two waves canceling each other out

You might be right but we want to actually win.

@Nuke yeah, that's why you gotta hope for a massive scandal affecting the Democratic Party before Nov 6, or more than one

the reeeesisters are a vocal minority, but you can count on them to turn out

This is smart

I find it hilarious that so many resisters call themselves "The Persistence" and shit

like these people actually just copy right-wing memes

just to make sure the other side can't use them

(* represents a potential candidate) (As of 4/22/2018)

I changed @FLanon 's list a bit . All I did was replace Todd Rokita with Mike Braun

Good.

Also can you add Erik Prince?

Braun is essentially the Gibbons for Indiana

in the same way that Rokita is essentially the Renacci of Indiana

Barrasso voted against Trump on immigration.

we can't have low energy GOPe figures

Erik Prince? What state?

Wyoming. Also, Kelli Ward is now looking more electable than McSally + she's also more right-wing and beginning to win primary polls.

what makes Ward more electable than McSally

I recall that Ward is the Bannon endorsed candidate

She's winning in more polls.

1 to 0

how reliable are those polls though

actually forget that

That's her internal poll

However

According to SurveyMonkey, she fares 1 point better than McSally in the general.

hmm, but that's SurveyMonkey

According to OH (Ohio?) Predictive Insights (which sounds unreliable for different reasons) she fares 4 points worse

but their polls conflict

and sometimes Ward fares better

Arpaio however is a candidate who's running for Senate because he lost as Sheriff so he's totally unelectable. I abide by the Romney rule: No candidate who lost his last election is electable.

hmm

McSally's page is full of comments from Ward supporters

calling her a RINO

I suppose we do need enthusiasm

Though by the standard of that rule, Ward is also unelectable (but I forgive her for failing to secure Trump's 2016 endorsement that year)

and Ward probably is generating more of that than McSally

IMO we should only run positive content about Republicans anyway
