The Politics Thread

More from NC:

 

@Vee I did see through the Taniel account that Kelly was underperforming where he needed to do well. There was so much media hype that he would win due to backlash over the indictment, backlash that the Beltway was craving. This would be a crucial win for Democrats nationwide, and another case of the primary meddling that many on the left sneer at paying off.

I said it last year and I'll say it now: This won't stop here.

 

The backlash that still matters is Roe. And it's going to keep happening into next year. The indictment is poison too, but not for us.

Thank you for saying this. I often think so many men still don't understand how that has fundamentally changed things. That and the fair maps referendum in Michigan is what flipped that state. I wasn't worried about Wisconsin. Protasiewicz is going to win handily. It was the same reaction for people I know volunteering there that I ran into for the 2022 election when calling GOP and Independent women in swing states, door knocking on suburban GOP and Independent voters in Wisconsin- many of them referred to Kelly as a total *sshole and of course they were voting for Janet.

This is the petulant, delusional manner of a party who know they can and will do anything to hold onto power. As they have likely kept their supermajority in the state senate, there is already talk of impeaching the incoming justice. Between this and what's going on in North Carolina and Tennessee, we're entering an even uglier new chapter. Hopefully the party is ready, even as the media continues to support our march to oblivion.

They will definitely attempt this. Fortunately, what I'm hearing is they don't have the numbers in local government to make that stick. Starting with the governor. Everyone in the line of succession is a Dem.

Happy to be one of her voters. And I got my hubby to vote too, and he's hardheaded when it comes to voting.

You can tell how much RFK Jr has alienated even those who should love the toxicity and division he will bring by the way that Jake Tapper, of all people, introduces him.

This would not surprise me at all:

 

[Vee]

Lord. Good luck with that.

[JaneAusten]

Honestly, how many people are still around that are in tune with the old Kennedy draw and mystique? I have seen zero evidence RFK Jr has any of that.

At the risk of sounding ignorant, do you think Covid/vaccine chatter is still going to be “a thing” come the 2024 campaign trail days?
