You know what this baby Nazi grew up to be, right?I feel like a tape: Republicans generally vote for Republicans and Democrats generally vote for Republicans. That's why, in so many districts-- including ALL the battleground districts-- independents decide the outcome. And you know who independents do not like? Right-- Trump.
Bryce will be a congressman for ALL people-- even if they wear suitsThere's barely a red district in the country where the Republican incumbent isn't lying about healthcare. Regardless of their multiple votes to nullify protections for people with pre-existing conditions, they all claim the opposite.
by Dorothy ReikPresident, Progressive Democrats of the Santa Monica MountainsIn an effort to prevent Mike Siegel, the Democratic challenger, from unseating the incumbent Republican in Texas' 10th Congressional District, Waller County officials announced that one of the addresses students at the historical Black college, Prairie View A & M University (PVAMU) were instructed by the county to use to register to vote was not in the proper precinct so they would have to file additional paperwork.
I talk to congressional candidates all day. Sometimes I am amazed that I can get any posts done for my blog at all. One question candidates are always asking me is if I can get Bernie (or Elizabeth Warren) to campaign for them in their districts. Invariably the answer is no. It's not like Bernie calls me up and says, "Hey dude, remember PS 197 in Brooklyn?
Not sure what it refers to, but it looks goodThe NY Times/Siena poll showed good news for one of the Blue America candidates. They had Katie Porter with a substantial lead over Trump rubber stamp Mimi Walters, 48% to 43%. Unfortunately, the Times/Siena poll is the least credible polling operation I've seen since Rasumussen and their data is virtually worthless. Still...
This year, the Republicans will do anything-- and apparently everything-- to avoid talking about issues. (Unless you consider the Ron DeSantis ad above-- yes that is a real ad than ran on television statewide in Florida-- an "issues" ad.) Kara Eastman and Beto O'Rourke had punk rock bands in high school and college. Jared Golden got a tattoo (with his unit fighting on the front lines in Afghanistan). Beto also skateboards and likes women with dyed hair... and eats BBQ-ed tofu... This is all crazy.
Overwhelmingly, voters who identify as Democrats vote for Democratic Party candidates-- even for candidates for the Republican wing of the Party (Blue Dogs and New Dems)-- and the rapidly shrinking number of voters who identify as Republicans vote for Republicans-- whether mainstream conservatives or neo-fascists and, presumably, Trumpists. So...
Holy Jesus! (And if you know me, you know how respectfully I mean that.) I just watched the new Randy Bryce video. I've never seen a campaign video anything like it. There's not even a photo-- let a lone a mention-- of Bryce or a clue it's a campaign video until about 3:20 minutes into this 3:54 minute video. In fact, I don't think Bryce's name is never mentioned. I guess this is the closest this tragic poem about the opioid crisis comes:
Randy Bryce has been very positive during the primary, presumably because his opponent was a fellow Democrat. Now's the time to start playing little hard ball, which the Republicans have already done. This week I noticed that the DCCC-- which I don't ever expect much from-- have gone to bat for Randy. "Lyin' Bryan" refers to Bryan Steil, Paul Ryan clone who was handpicked by Ryan to try to beat Randy in November.
