Neither David Perdue nor Kelly Loeffler has much to say other than pre-digested, one-size-fits-all Republican Party propaganda. Even in a red state like Georgia, people are growing weary of their crap. Which is why neither was reelected on November 3 and why each faces a runoff against Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock on January 5.
COVID-Kim Obama won Iowa both times he ran (53.9% to 44.4% in 2008 and 52% to 46.2% in 2012) but 4 years later Trump slaughtered Hillary by almost 10 points there-- 800,983 (51.15%) to 653,669 (41.74%). On the right is the 2016 state map by county and on the left is the 2008 map. That's some turn-around! But don't be surprised if the 2020 map looks more like 2008 map than the 2016 map.
Kelly Loeffler-- the first U.S. Senator to publicly embrace QAnon Well-meaning but politically naive self-identifying Democrats who are laboring under the impression that "anything blue" is the way to go, are going to be very disappointed in 2021. Cheri Bustos' DCCC has guaranteed a totally dysfunctional conservative Democratic House caucus and Schumer has done even worse in the Senate.
AOC & Pramila-- Starting To Lose My Temper by Nancy Ohanian On Friday, we noted that spineless Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse has shown over and over again that he knows just how dangerous Trump is for America.
Republicans in Congress are preparing to triage Trump-- but not Amy Coney Island Baby. That's the hill they all seem happily willing to die on, a hill that symbolizes anti-Choice fanaticism, anti-healthcare mania, a pro-corporate and anti-regulatory extremism and, of course, the religious bigotry the GOP has wrapped itself in over the past two decades.
Totally In Control by Nancy Ohanian Hillary didn't seriously contest Ohio. That campaign mindset is how our country was hurled into the pit of fiery hell we've been in for nearly 4 years. Her husband won Ohio both times he ran and so did Obama-- 51.50% to 46.91% against McCain in 2008 and 50.67% to 47.69% against Romney in 2012.
