GOP Failure Watch Part V (the Minority in Congress edition)

It might work in 2022…

Between banning abortion and trying to make everyone die of covid it seems possible that Republicans have pissed people off https://t.co/ngs7l1aAwo

And looky here in NJ. Gov. Murphy is running a "ladies - your rights will be taken away if you vote for the Republican" ad complete with the pic of Gov. Abbott's signing ceremony of the abortion bounty bill. I assume most Dems will pound this.

 

I guess running adds saying "Don't vote for the anti-democracy, anti-science, anti-woman, anti-minorities party" should move plenty of independent centrists....







Or they could do their own research...

 

California got the message: NO GQP!!!

That is not how I would interpret the results. More like those who voted no felt no need to select a backup and hoped enough others felt the same. Worked this time while the opposite strategy didn't last.

 

That’s what Newsom asked them to do. Vote “No” and select no alternative. IIRC, if by any chance the recall got 51% of the vote, the candidate with most votes would become governor, unless the blank got the most.

 

Insert any GQP governor:

This is going to be fun:

“Former president Donald Trump is working behind the scenes, trying to recruit a Republican senator to challenge Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for his leadership position in the party.” https://t.co/N01vWjr48C

You can swing a dead varmint in KY & hit a Trump-loving candidate. Now they'll have no idea what they're getting into taking on Mitch. But imagine if KY has a good Dem candidate for senate.

 

The last Dem opponent was Amy McGrath and she was trounced by 20 points. She's aiming for Congressman Andy Barr's seat, so no idea who is going to challenge McTurtle. Andy Barr is a Trumper and is known for inviting AOC to Kentucky a few years ago to some coal mines, then rescinding when AOC accepted. This must have been around the time the Green New Deal was floated, given the context.

Mitch can have a dogfight on his hands if Trump wants to run someone in the Republican primary. Or Trump can endorse someone to run to the right of McConnell, hopefully splitting the vote. And I, for one, can't wait. Please let there be an ambitious idiot waiting to take McTurtle on for 2022.

 

Everything they accuse the dems of doing is projection:

I understood this to mean, not someone to primary him, but rather someone to challenge him for minority leader...

 

Go East!!!

That's right. And guess who is in Budapest for Orbán's demographic summit, telling the world he hopes abortion will soon be illegal in the US? Mike Pence.
