This is how it should be done. Go hard in the paint with these douche bags. The Dems are usually too nice.
One other thing that isn't discussed enough is that Trump is still president when the Georgia runoffs occur. So if Trump loses, he'll probably do crazy things like pardoning his family, himself, and all the crooks around him. He also probably does some other nutty things in the process (and Republicans will probably start to bail on him). All of that will happen while the Georgia runoffs are occurring so Trump very well could bring down Loeffler/Collins and Purdue with him if he just goes off the rails as a lame duck president.
If Trump has lost I would guess that the Republican candidates will be distancing themselves very far from Trump and running as a check on an incoming Biden administration.
That's what they'll ideally want to do but if Trump is just acting like a lunatic, I think it will be hard to make that pivot. If Trump dominates the news cycle, its hard to get a different message out there.
And not a few out-of-state Rs are running against Omar ... maybe not as many that are running against AOC.
Yes, they will say that. The Dems candidates just have to keep reminding voters that for 4 years these same Republicans were swinging on Trump's nuts, so their political distancing is not to be believed.
Chuck Schumer needs to GTFO Cunningham isn’t the only one who should be kicking himself for screwing over America. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer should be, too. Schumer recruited Cunningham for the race, and his Senate Majority PAC spent millions supporting him. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee endorsed Cunningham in the primary against several other Democrats, including progressive two-term state Sen. Erica Smith, a Black woman in a state whose registered Democrats are nearly half Black. (Cunningham was a former one-term state senator who lost the Democratic primary for a U.S. Senate seat in 2010 and hadn’t sought political office since.) According to a Democratic consultant who spoke to Politico and was “familiar with the process” of selecting Cunningham, Democratic leaders saw Cunningham as the candidate “with the fewest vulnerabilities for Republicans to exploit.” State Sen. Jeff Jackson said he’d considered running against Tillis too, but when he told Schumer he wanted to start his campaign by holding a town hall in each of North Carolina’s 100 counties, Schumer allegedly said, “Wrong answer—we want you to spend the next 16 months in a windowless basement raising money, and then we’re going to spend 80 percent of it on negative ads about Tillis.” And then Schumer went with Cunningham instead. Might any of these other Democratic candidates have committed an own goal, sexually, in as humiliating a fashion as Cunningham? Sure, that’s technically possible, I suppose. But here’s a thought: Female politicians are far less likely to jeopardize the future of the country for some dumb sex than male ones, in part because they get into politics for different reasons. Research has shown that, broadly, women seek public office because there’s something they want to do, while men run because a politician is something they want to be. One reason is outward-facing, the other inward-facing. When politicians do generally-frowned-upon sex things while holding or seeking office, it can be accurately read as an expression of narcissism and inflated self-worth. They are placing personal gain over public good. Cunningham’s was the priciest Senate race in U.S. history, with the two campaigns and outside groups spending more than $280 million combined to fight over the direction of U.S. foreign and domestic policy, with consequences that will reverberate for generations. Can you imagine being the object of that kind of investment? Lots of that money came from wealthy donors and PACs, but plenty of regular people, worried for the future of the country and wanting to do their part to build something better, gave of themselves, too. They made small donations to Cunningham’s campaign, spent their weekends phone-banking for him, and wrote letters to their local papers. They trusted him to be their best shot at stanching the bleeding set off by the Trump administration and the GOP Senate, because Cunningham and Schumer had told them as much. https://slate.com/news-and-politics...et-the-democratic-party-and-america-down.html
