I'm still not confident in her being a 2028 nominee who could win.

She's hardly a liability for Biden though, apparently. At worst, she's a non-factor.

Maryland D/R share - 70/30
Oregon D/R share - 59/41

Muh enthusiasm gap.

Also funny how it's pretty much the same for the last 3 years, give or take a few %:

Maryland-
2024 prez: 70/30
2022 gov: 69/31
2020 prez: 72/28

Oregon-
2024 prez: 59/41 (so far)
2022 sen: 57/43
2020 prez: 62/38

The voters who are actually voting are basically performing the same as they have for multiple cycles now.

Because I don't care what the Biden Admin tries and does in Washington.

Unless Democrats gain Key Governorships most Republican Governors will simply block whatever Biden does in his 2nd Term.

As we saw during COVID Governors do have a tremendous amount of leverage even over a sitting President.

You could argue Governors in States like FL, TX, GA, etc. have even more leverage compared to Senators or House Members.

Governors like Kemp, DeSantis, Abbott will just ignore Biden and tell him to "Pound Sand".


I realize that Republican Sympathizers here on Talk Elections may see things differently.

They aren't "real America" though.

Hey guys, I think I found Alito's car.

Okay, but that "Changing genders is impossible, you ing re[ally can't say that word on this forum]" bumper sticker is fire. Like, I want a version of that that says "inevitable" instead of "impossible".

So apparently Sunak is taking a “day off” from the campaign trail tomorrow.

Seems like you are getting your wish:

The Tory GE campaign next year is gonna be some of the most desperate and embarrassing stuff of all time.

When he's dead.

This.

Nobody really wants these trials because of the implications of a conviction of Trump.  What's done to Trump can be done to any future President.

What, really, is to stop a future President from charging Joe Biden or Mike Pence with document offenses?  In Joe Biden's case, all the elements of the crime are listed; he possessed documents he had no right to possess for decades, and that's not even taking into account how they were stored or his sharing of them with his autobiographer.  All of the elements of a crime are present.  The only reason Hur is not charging him is because he is the sitting President, and Hur has added statements to the effect of Biden's cognitive abilities that suggest that, at least in the present, he may be considered unable to stand trial if the issue were tested by the Court. 

I do not wish to see Joe Biden on trial any more than I want to see Donald Trump on trial.  The remedy for these issues is impeachment.  I would support a Constitutional Amendment reducing to 60 the number of Senators needed to remove a President, but with a proviso that the Supreme Court rule, prior to any trial, that the allegations for impeachment meet the Constitutional Standard of "High Crimes and Misdemeanors".  (A decision in that area would have precedential value for future impeachment.)  Indeed, I would include appointed Cabinet Officials in this amendment.  I would also include in this Amendment that the Senate must go forth with a trial if the SCOTUS impeaches, but that the rulings of the Chief Justice that presides over the trial not be able to be overridden by a vote of the Senate. 

But if it's OK to put Donald Trump on trial (particularly for the Documents case), then it's necessary (in the interest of simple justice) to put Joe Biden on trial once he's out of office.  The elements of the crime are set forth in Hur's report; they constitute probable cause.  I would not welcome such an event, but if former Presidents can be tried for crimes after their term, how can one say of Biden that he's not fit for trial if he was fit for office?

Wasn't SC-01 like Trump +8 in 2020 (and moving leftward?) Safe R seems a bit much.

They have FL-13 at Likely R too. If that’s not considered Safe R neither should SC-01.

Also both have Dems with decent fundraising.

Hey guys, I think I found Alito's car.

Most sane Connecticut resident.

I wonder if the driver is a trump/MAGA supporter?
"Sieg Heil," "Ban Narcan" ... I mean WOW!
I feel sorry for the immediate relatives, neighbors, etc. of this NutJob.
How does anyone even get a job, driving that kind of mental-asylum-billboard-on-wheels around town?

I would say the equivalent to 2019 nostalgia now happened in the mid to late 2000s . In fact I would say Hillary in 2008 really should have had her slogan be : Make America Great Again and everyone would know what that slogan meant and she may have actually won it all lol
