Discussion: The REPUBLICAN Party - - - - - Part 20

[Lily Adler]

Nervous Republicans focus energy on protecting Senate 'firewall'

 

[Sithborg]

GA Senator Johnny Isakson is going to resign at the end of the year, due to health issues. That means both seats are going to be up next year. No idea when Kemp would schedule a special election, safe to say it will likely be in the general. Some interesting possibilities if Dems can beat voter suppression.

The Daily Beast - Jacob Wohl Wanted on Felony Arrest Warrant

 

[Schlosser85]

About time.

 

[Lighthouse]

Now we'll get to see if all his asskissing results in a pardon.

 

[DJ Kornphlake]

This is the 16th House Republican not running for re-election so far.

 

[Lily Adler]

Yikes. It's like a GOP exodus.

[Lily Adler]

How much does SC like him?

 

[Teelie]

Hopefully a lot less now.

 

[Sithborg]

Also apparently meeting with Geert Wilders, a notorious anti-muslim lawmaker. So you know, meeting with good people while his state is hit with a hurricane.

I just wish Abrams was remotely interested in running...

This should be plastered across the state for the entirety of next year. Completely disgraceful. Jamie Harrison needs to be getting more attention, because I think Graham is more vulnerable than people think. And even if he doesn't win, having to dump money into SC is less GOP cash to go to the Toss-Up states.

Associated Press - Tennessee [Republican] Senator calls for removal of higher education

 

[Teelie]

That reinforces the GOP's inability to court people with a higher education. The more educated people are the less likely they are to believe in the Republicans lies. Better to keep everyone as uneducated as possible.

 

[Lighthouse]

The march towards Idiocracy continues. Mike Judge is a prophet.

Lmao I love when these fools equate liberals with higher education and intelligence. It's a nice compliment.

New York Times - Republican Gerrymander Whiz Had Wider Influence Than Was Known

 

[Lighthouse]

Did you guys know that Bolton was a progressive? That he's always been left wing?

Tucker Carlson: John Bolton's Ouster a Great Day for America

 

[DJ Kornphlake]

I mean he's not wrong for it being great for America that Bolton is out, but not for the reasons he's making up.

 

[Sithborg]

I mean, I have no idea what his other politics are. I just know he is a lunactic war hawk.

So the Republican Dan Bishop won the 3rd congressional district special election last night here in NC, but he only won by two percentage points. This is a district that went for Trump by 16 points in 2016.

Let Trump and the GOP enjoy their Pyrrhic victory. They’re in serious trouble here next year, especially after the new congressional lines are drawn. Bishop will probably lose his seat next year.

[Teelie]

Republicans are spineless lying cowards.

 

[mclay18]

Republicans are spineless lying cowards.

They still have to get it through the Senate to get it passed but any trust NC House and Senate Dems had with Moore and Berger has evaporated.

Those two idiots need to be voted out post haste.
