like....it's still too early

2018-03-22 20:37:55 UTC  

who knows how many shootings and bombings will happen before November for them to capitalize on

2018-03-22 20:38:22 UTC  

Nothing matters til October

2018-03-22 20:38:43 UTC  

But this shows how elastic the American electorate really is

2018-03-22 20:44:00 UTC  

>yfw it's +20 Republican on November 5

2018-03-22 20:46:44 UTC  

But yeah,

2018-03-22 20:47:01 UTC  

We'd win if the election was held today

2018-03-22 20:51:51 UTC  

@Den I think you should write an op-ed about the fact that you're friend tried to get Saccone to properly campaign, only to be dismissed, later leading to Saccone's loss

2018-03-22 20:51:56 UTC  

(voter fraud or not)

2018-03-22 20:52:08 UTC  

(and this is for the redstorm blog)

2018-03-22 20:55:05 UTC  

My ruling on the spending bill:

2018-03-22 20:55:10 UTC  

Veto worthy

2018-03-22 20:55:17 UTC  

OR

2018-03-22 20:55:43 UTC  

Trump should at least use signing statements to gut the bill to the extent it is necessary.

2018-03-22 21:01:25 UTC  

Yeah, it's too big to fix

2018-03-22 21:03:22 UTC  

Yeah, the funding for the Wall is insufficient due to its being bundled with overall border security funds.

2018-03-22 21:03:31 UTC  

If it were just $1.6B for a wall outright it would be OK

2018-03-22 21:03:39 UTC  

But it's $1.6B for everything

2018-03-22 21:07:26 UTC  

Hmm

2018-03-22 21:07:48 UTC  

I don't know much about the PA Gov race.

2018-03-22 21:08:14 UTC  

Ask him the Rep Steve King question

2018-03-22 21:08:24 UTC  

Re-upping. The big Ryanesque spending bill isn't as bad as I thought last night. It's worse. Forbids hiring more ICE agents. Limits detention beds, making "catch & release" more likely. Call 202 456-1111 if you want to urge Trump to veto

2018-03-22 21:08:54 UTC  

Make sure to advise the candidate on how to campaign, how Saccone lost, etc

2018-03-22 21:09:25 UTC  

Perhaps ask if he intends to rally potential Amish voters

2018-03-22 21:09:43 UTC  

Saccone was a lazy candidate that was anti union in Pennsylvania. I dont know why the party put up such a bad candidate

2018-03-22 21:09:53 UTC  

@Den yeah, emphasize the fact that Saccone ignored our advice and LOST

2018-03-22 21:10:16 UTC  

that's the most important thing...oh, and TELL HIM TO TELL EVERY OTHER R POLITICIAN HE KNOWS THAT THEY SHOULD NOT CAMPAIGN LIKE SACCONE

2018-03-22 21:10:39 UTC  

The issue is the Rs don't flood the fields where they should

2018-03-22 21:10:59 UTC  

They should've had a good electable candidate over in IL-3, we got a neo-nazi.

2018-03-22 21:11:25 UTC  

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 Even worse, it actually influences America's foreign policy in a negative direction with regard to Russia; not a single Nay from the Democrats!

2018-03-22 21:11:42 UTC  

so basically

1. Talk about how Saccone ignored our advice and lost, then emphasize that he shouldn't do it that way, and that he should tell all the other GOP politicians he knows to NOT campaign that way

2. The 'Steve King' question (not sure what this is

3. Rallying Amish voters

2018-03-22 21:11:57 UTC  

4. the importance of Immigration as an issue to GOP voters

2018-03-22 21:11:58 UTC  

These people are so stupid

2018-03-22 21:12:10 UTC  

This will not get them reelected

2018-03-22 21:13:05 UTC  

Target abortion actually

2018-03-22 21:13:08 UTC  

The Steve King question is "Can you restore your civilization with someone else's babies?" Their answer to that lets you know if they actually want to put America First.

2018-03-22 21:13:17 UTC  

They should run on a balanced budget amendment to be honest

2018-03-22 21:14:03 UTC  

This is what got a lot of the current members of congress elected on the anti-obama wave in 2010, balancing the budget, stopping the national debt.

2018-03-22 21:14:58 UTC  

IMO other than job creation and to a lesser extent budgetary balance, Republicans should stay silent on the state level.

2018-03-22 21:15:11 UTC  

Social issues take a higher precedent, especially when they can integrate with economic issues.
