So super dumb question here…

The Trumpazees are doing what they can to get in position to cheat in the general right?

Why would anyone trust what they’re doing in their own primaries? Would Trumpzies not screw over “RINOs” any means necessary?
The only elections that are suspect are the ones the Dems win.

But would you trust that Liz lost with the amount she did? Not trying to run some conspiracy here, really wondering, is there the same checks involved with primaries as with general?

Liz lives in a Trump-Red state. Very Trump-Red. That stunt to have democrats switch over to republican for a day just to vote for Liz was not worth the effort. For a democrat to switch to republican, even for one day, would make any self respecting democrat puke. It would me. I can't imagine being a republican, even for 24 hours and especially to help Liz Cheney. :(

Believe me, Liz is no peach when it comes to progressive ideology other than having a shared hate for Donald Trump, but that is where it ends.
And remember, Liz just voted against Biden in lowering the cost of drugs and helping the seniors. Yes, Liz voted against that Biden bill. Personally, I'm glad she's the F... gone. And Liz is a big homophobe despite having a gay sister whom by the way Liz has stabbed in the back many times.

Frankly, I'm tired of these damn wolves in sheep clothing politicians like Liz and Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. I'd rather know who the enemy is up front and not wait until they stab Joe Biden in the back. The concessions Biden gave in on for Manchin and Sinema should make every progressive sick to their stomach. I'd like to see all of them go bye bye into political obscurity.

I'd rather have Trump ass kisser and cross-eyed bitch Harriet Hageman for dems to run against in November. At least democrat will not be confused as to who the real enemy is.

Liz got 28 vs 66 right?

That is still 28% of the Republican party that *votes* in a primary that WANTS TRUMP IN JAIL.

Yea, thats still not good news for Trump?
You gotta recognize that a vote for Liz is a vote to fuck Trump over. Bigly.

I agree with Sportage. Some folks just cannot be trusted.

Sinema was once an Independent endorsed by Arizona's Green Party. Now, it seems she's crawled up the butt of private equity folks.

As Green Day sang:

"Hear the drum pounding out of time

Another protester has crossed the line

To find the money's on the other side ... "


We may not have many honest politicians in our future.



Stay strong, Moonbeam.

Odd that Mitch McConnell would cry about republican candidates winning their primaries and then warning about "candidate quality".
I think Mitch is getting tired of Donald Trump sending these loonies to congress, THEN it is up to Mitch to deal with them and their lunacy. I think Mitch is getting tired of this trend, and more so is telling Donald Trump to CUT IT OUT ALREADY FOR GODS SAKE.

Trump digs up these morons, gives them his blessing, and sends them off to become McConnell's problem. And with this new batch of Trump blessed loonies now heading for congress, old Mitch just can't take it.
Bottom line, Mitch is tired of dealing with loonies like THIS:

Mitch sees his odds for Majority Leader plummet in real time before his eyes... that is what's up.

AOC's endorsed candidates took in on the chin, too. Rep. Mondaire Jones, who called for defunding the police, lost to Levi Strauss heir, Dan Goldman by about 5,000 votes.

Progressive Brittany Ramos DeBarros lost to Max Rose. Both are ex-military.

Gotta love the hypocrisy of Fox complaining that Fetterman won’t debate Oz, but nary a word about Walker’s refusal to debate.

Trump backers flood election offices with requests as 2022 vote nears

(WAPO) - Supporters of former president Donald Trump have swamped local election offices across the nation in recent weeks with a coordinated campaign of requests for 2020 voting records, in some cases paralyzing preparations for the fall election season.

In nearly two dozen states and scores of counties, election officials are fielding what many describe as an unprecedented wave of public records requests in the final weeks of summer, one they say may be intended to hinder their work and weaken an already strained system. The avalanche of sometimes identically worded requests has forced some to dedicate days to the process of responding even as they scurry to finalize polling locations, mail out absentee ballots and prepare for early voting in October, officials said...

Isn't he debating him once? I was disappointed in the Dem candidate for Governor in Arizona refusing to debate the wacko conspiracy theorist opponent. Get some balls and call her a liar on live TV.

No analysis of the crazy Trump backer winning New Hampshire's GOP primary?

Yes, Bolduc winning their primary increases the dems' chance of retaining the seat. Nominating an extremist for Senate in a light blue state isn't such a great idea.

Kinda amazing.
First, they nominate and primary these loonies into a primary win, then next they have to somehow someway make them loonies appear electable.
Ever buy a really ugly color of car, then you must defend yourself by attempting to convince your friends.... yea, I like the color sour apple green? Or, yea I like the color lemon yellow.
But later you ask yourself who it is your are trying to convince? Them, or YOU?

When loonie republicans think it lots of fun to get drunk, put on their MEGA hats, and elect loonie republican candidates only later to ask themselves what the hell was I thinking? However, only asking themselves after that fun ends on election night.

Well said & well done. Crisp, consistent and not so much text it turned me off.
Excellent elevator pitch, you have good stuff keep it nice and short.

He still typed more than necessary. Could have got to the point in half of what he wrote.

Another development:


So Bolduc wins the GOP primary claiming the election was stolen, but just days afterwards, as he enters the general election, he reverses himself and says the election was not stolen. LOL
