Americans have not forgotten about Cotton's repeatedly refusal to condemn the ex-President's praise of Putin as being smart & savvy for his “genius” invasion of Ukraine Cotton's NYT Op-Ed pushing for POTUS to invoke the Insurrection Act to use military force to deal with "looting" and "rioting" following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody. yet, the hypocrite from Arkansas was silent after the 6 Jan Insurrection at the Capitol
If the Republicans are trying to run on that they are in even bigger trouble. Nobody cares about that anymore and it certainly will not be top of mind for congressional voting.
Bwahaha. Keep telling yourself that, if it makes you feel better. The Democrat left has completely lost their moral bearings and apparently their capacity for reason and civility as well. If you truly believe that most voters have not noticed this and also do not care, then you are engaged in wishful thinking, to say the least.
The only thing more cringe inducing than BBS libs burying their heads in the sand about the Democrats' situation is watching BBS cons act as if Republicans are going to do anything to fix these problems once they take power.
If by awhile you mean the heat death of the universe, then sure. Our government is not incentivized to fix problems. We will continue to circle the drain at a logarithmicly increasing pace until we reach critical mass and there's a very violent reformation.
GOP fears Senate debacle https://www.axios.com/2022/07/15/senate-republican-candidates-herschel-oz-masters I mean Warnock's been smashing his fundraising in comparison to his competition and Fetterman has been making a complete joke of Oz. Could Walker and Oz still win? Sure?.The GOP could very much still win the senate, I'm certainly not counting them out, polls have been wrong (but usually they are right) fundraising usually is the best indicator of who will win as well. I think it was a mistake to put up Walker and Oz...and Masters winning the primary there in Arizona I bet will produce another race the Dems can win...I mean the guy is about as radical as they come, having ads about how AKs are made to kill people might not be the best thing to run on this year in a battleground state...just saying... and he is way too closely tied to Trump, I could see him struggling. Basically, being tied to trump too closely going to hurt in battleground states when it comes to bigger statewide elections.
Given what happened in Uvalde, I'm not sure Cotton will like a debate about what is happening in schools.
Certainly the Democrats are in a difficult situation and some of the solutions and issues being debated here from the Left aren't going to help the Democrats. Speaking for myself as someone who has been debating trans athletes I know that will have little benefit for Democrats or really likely be much of an issue of concern. The difference though is I'm not running for office nor am I an adviser to the DNC or to any other candidate. This is a 'Debate and Discuss" forum. Not everything here is or should be expected to actually help poltical parties.
This is the dilemma that the GOP has put themselves in. They have catered to extreme parts of their base with candidates that reflect that extremism. Or in the case of Oz, candidates that pander to that base with no real of their own. That is great for winning the Republican primary but less so about wining statewide elections in diverse states. For all of the problems with the inflation and Biden's own unpopularity the Republicans should be destroying the Democrats but as long as they play to that part of their base they will continue to put up Herschel Walkers and Doug Mastrianos.
Dems always pin their hopes on another Todd Akin and are left disappointed. These candidates will need to outperform Biden's approval rating in their states by 15-20% to win, and that isn't happening.
Even in a blue wave year they wouldn't be leading by 15-20% in battleground states, way to set unrealistic expectations to ignore that the polls completely turned around in those states in a few months.
if Biden is at 30% approval in GA/MO/NV, the candidate needs to outperform that by 15-20% to win, which doesn't happen
