I think they just underestimated the importance of it and thought that the economy would bury it as an issue. But this was always obvious to me that it would rise in importance due to the amount of absolute horror stories that would come from bans. What gets me is how much the GOP are fumbling around on this issue. If Roe had just been weakened to 15 weeks like Roberts wanted it to be the GOP would have easily won on this issue but they have definitely overplayed their hands and it's being made worse because of all the radicals that have followed in Trump's footsteps are doubling down on clearly a losing issue. Except for Blake Masters I suppose...
There hasn't been a "sane" GOP for years, @justtxyank. Your comment trips me out. What are you afraid of? Democrats fight each other so much that nothing "radical" ever gets done. Hell, "radical" simply doesn't apply to the Democratic Party. I'm a Democrat and I'm being serious, for once.
what I would “fear” is that the democrats would be dragged to their radical left if there were no checks. Manchin has been a check so far. I am aware there is no sane GOP left
A list of topics incumbent Rs do not want to talk about in the months running up to the 2022 midterm elections: Trump Trump's handing of confidential documents Any and all comments made circa January 6, 2021 Any comments about Stop the Steal Vote to certify the Electoral College vote Vote to impeach Trump on his failed coupe or Trump's extortion of Ukraine Vote on USSC justices who voted down Roe Vote on making contraceptive legal nationwide Vote on making abortion before viability legal nationwide Vote on making abortion from rape/incest legal nationwide Vote on making abortion to protect the life of the mother legal nationwide Vote on making the morning-after pill legal nationwide Vote on making gay marriage legal nationwide Vote on the Dark Brandon agenda that has positively impacted their constituents How impeaching Biden will improve the economy How investigating Hunter will improve the economy How talking endless wrt SCWs grievances will improve the economy How giving the top 1% another tax break will improve the economy The Rs complete lack of a legislative agenda (outside of tax breaks for the top 1%) PPP loans personally taken and forgiven
You greatly exaggerate the influence of the so-called "radical left" of the Democratic Party, in my opinion. Where do you get this stuff? You like Manchin? Seriously?
That doesn't make sense. I don't think it's mathematically possible for a 9 pt gap to be made up with just 2% of the votes to be counted, unless the tweet you posted was incorrect.
that post was 98% of the 1st choice selection…with ranked choice voting, since nobody had over 50% of the 1st place votes, they now have to count who had the most 2nd place votes on the voters’ ballots
Surprise outcome. 1st D to hold the seat in 50 years. AL is doing election right with ranked choice voting. 51.5% to 48.5% after final round of ranked-choice.
