Did Christian Walker just end his dad Herschel Walker's campaign?

[Motostu]

Oh this the football player, lmao.

If these fuckers elect a football player, after electing an actor and a fake reality tv star. God help them.

And I am not a God fearing person but believe in good and evil.

SMMFH

Well, we here in AL have a former college football coach in the senate so, really, a football player is the next logical step. GG Georgia.

The wild card will be abortion, and women are pissed as hell about the abortion thing, including republican women. I believe this will save both the house and the senate, easily.

I don't trust them to do a clean election.

And the abortion nationwide ban is more important than what Herschel did.. just like Trump's grab em by the pussy.

So are you back to predicting that republicans will win more than 100% of the available senate seats?

All jabs aside, Oz and Walker making it to the Senate is a really bad prognostic sign for where we're headed.

Yeah but Oz and Walker probably lose, Oz being a very likely loss.

To this you will probably respond ‘polls mean nothing and are wrong!’ but in that case imagine what you would be saying if Oz was leading Fetterman by 6 points. In that case you would claim the polls show our inevitable doom.

 

[DAPUNISHER]

TBH this will only help Walker as they are already using this to try to paint a sympathetic picture around him, or that it's just a Dem hit/smear job, or that his son is actually an undercover Dem operative, etc. Crazy I know, but it works in this timeline. FYI Oz is rapidly gaining on Fetterman as well. The "at least the Dems will hold the Senate" wishcasting is already crumbling.

You are the strangest right winger here. You regurgitate the same talking points every right wing nut hugger does. But you seem to think the way you do it is clever; it's not.

You guys are ignoring Nevada too. It could easily be a red pickup.

You have to be fucked in the head to even consider putting someone like Walker up for nomination, much less support him.
The GQP is running with him.
Its gonna be a close race.
~ half of a given population fucked right in the head does not inspire confidence in a positive extrapolation of the future.
It just means that there is a shit ton of fighting yet to be done to de-program Ruperts audience.

edit: I dont know how they do polling but if they havent adjusted to oversample the female subset in the wake of Roe, the polling may be wildly misleading.

 

[UNCjigga]

LOL, people still think the GOP has standards. The only standard they need for electability is a pulse. Any brain dead moron is welcome as long as they’ll do what they’re told and help take back control of the wheels of power.

Don’t take my word for it—take theirs:

I think this has been their stance for a long time, but certainly since 2016. Also, I think this stance makes perfect sense. They are saying they don't care if the people in office PERSONALLY abide by their preferred policies, as long as they will enact them it's fine.

Walker, like Trump, would be happy to enact any and all of these policies because they know those policies will never apply to them personally.

I was going to post a poll how many so called pro-life Republican men would avail themselves of an abortion but the outcome is too predictable likely >75%

Dana Losch saved me the trouble

 

[MrSquished]

Yet more proof the Republicans are an irredeemable party
with an irredeemable base.

You simply can't build a moral, ethical country that advances and evolves with this many million of shitty people.

In many polls, abortion is like the 5th or 6th issue already. The Roe steam is wearing off.

And now OPEC is cutting production by 2 million (?) barrels a day and with the SPR already significantly tapped...gas prices are going to swing up again just in time for midterms.

With gerrymandering, it's nearly statistically impossible for the Dems to hold the House. Senate likely gone too depending on how sharp the gas prices kick back up.

This should be captioned: "Abortion is acceptable to save the life of the party"

 

[uclaLabrat]

Im also very interested to see the combined effects of demographic shifts in the electorate, and the interplay of competing factors (voter suppression, disparate covid death rates, etc) have on relative turnout. And add in the above telegraphing of civil rights rollbacks to see how that impacts turnout.

Do you forget how off the polls were, down ballot, for the Dems in 2020? You also vastly underestimate the overall national, negative attitude towards Ds right now. The OPEC thing is the shit storm at the wrong time.

But yes, I do predict another "how could the polls be off so much, RoEvEMbeR" moment for the pundits.

Nope! I just go based off the evidence. Polls were wrong in favor of Democrats in 2020, but they were quite accurate in 2018 and 538 predicted the number of flipped seats almost exactly using them. (they predicted a 39 seat gain and Democrats picked up 41)

Well sure, but we all know how bad your predictions are so why should we care?

By the way someone who is actually good at predicting elections thinks your claims of predictable poll bias towards Democrats is unsupported by the evidence.

5 Reasons For Democrats To Still Be Concerned About The Midterms

Things could still turn around for the GOP.

He seems to think the Democrats have about a 70% chance of a senate majority while you think Republicans will win 107% of available seats. I think we both agree it's better to go with the guy whose predictions are not mathematically impossible, right? You have to remember that you have an extremely strong personal bias towards disaster and doom because for some reason you enjoy feeling this way. Better if you just stuck to the facts.

2018?

So you agree with the strong historical precedent that the controlling party suffers midterm losses, especially when the President's approval rating is underwater.

538 and Nate Silver have been wrong plenty of times.

Yes, that is generally true but not always. I trust the polls more. By the way you also trust the polls when they tell you what you want to hear. (and yes, what you want to hear is doom and nothing but doom)

538 and Nate Silver have been wrong plenty of times.

Sure, predicting elections is very hard! That's of course why I keep telling you that calling them several years out is a fool's errand as even highly competent statisticians with a lot of resources behind them get it wrong sometimes. That being said, he's the most accurate predictor out there. He has called every single major election correctly except for 2016 and even when he was wrong there he repeatedly and loudly said Trump had a real chance to win, unlike almost anyone else.

 

[Amol S.]

Republicans in Alabama voted in plurality for a pedophile. What makes anyone think Republicans have a moral core other then faking it?

Hmmmm, if your assumption that conservatives vote for pedos is true......... I wonder who would win if Trump were to face Anthony Wiener in 2024.

 

[Amol S.]

Hey, some actors are good people. Some even make good politicians. Ukraine's Zelenskyy, for one.

Some football players also seem to be good people, at least until the brain damage turns them into raging berserkers.

Sorry, I got nothin' good to say about fake reality tv stars.

Brittney Spears for Prez 2024!!!! Will Smith, Tom Cruz, Keanu Reeves, Stephen Colbert for POTUS cabinet 2024!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Amol S.]

Sadly he will win that seat.

For making a negative comment when polls show otherwise.

That's easy, AW would never win the nomination. Democratic base has standards
