President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell and most Republican Congressmen and Senators have less of a conscience than Hitler. I mean that literally and as a Jewish man. at least hitler put Germany first. Republicans put themselves first, second ... last.

 

Priming for her own run at the top of the ticket or for the VP slot with the lord and savior in 2024.

 

Because they're joining them.

 

But if you're talking about destruction,
don't you know that you can count me out ...
IN.

 

Thursday's list will include Gen. William T. Sherman and Dabo Sweeney.

 

Title card: There was a land of Cavaliers and Cotton Fields called the Old South... Here in this pretty world Gallantry took its last bow... Here was the last ever to be seen of Knights and their Ladies Fair, of Master and of Slave... Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered. A Civilization gone with the wind...
Big Sam! Big Sam.

 

No outing!

 

Normally I'd agree with you. I just have a hard time thinking what voters are going to split their ballot, or vote for one D or one R but not the other...in an unusual run-off situation like this, with control of the Senate at stake, in the most extremely polarized setting I can imagine. I have to believe either Warnock and Ossoff both lose, or they both win. If it's split, it would probably require both races being *extremely* close.

I'd love to hear the rationale for the opposite position here. Maybe there's something I'm not factoring in that's very candidate-specific.

 

BECAUSE THEY'RE MARCHING WITH THEM

 

I've had the same feeling since before the election. Warnock would go to a runoff and win as Peoria Barbie is an appointee, which tend to lose when they run for election, while Perdue would win if it went to a runoff in his race. The Perdue name in Georgia is big and he's a mildly popular incumbent. I also flash back to something I remember from high school that said the U.S. Senate had less turnover then the USSR's Politburo.

At the same time, it would be really weird for a ticket split with two runoffs. The margin might be decided by undervotes, where a voter only voted in one race and not the other.

It also seems incredibly weird that Senate races in Georgia might literally decide the fate of the country. A 50-50 split means Biden can get his agenda passed, setting up the future or at least passed before SCOTUS decides everything Biden does or attempts to do is illegal. A 51-49 or 52-48 split, means McConnell can continue running the country on the strength of 1.2 million Kentucky votes.

It is a pretty great system for a country of 330 million to have every tiny bit of legislative power run through one person. Just incredible.

 

Newsweek

Kelly Loeffler rarely referred to her opponent, Raphael Warnock, solely by his name during last night's Georgia runoff debate. Instead the Republican senator repeatedly added the prefix "radical liberal."
Loeffler used the term 13 times during the nearly one hour-long debate. Even if she spoke for half of that time, that's once every two minutes and 19 seconds.
