NC-SEN 2020: Tar Heel Tillis

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I read up on this guy. Shades of Connor Lamb, a good looking young guy who's an accomplished veteran and very effective fundraiser and campaigner. He's been compared to Beto for his campaign skills. Also would have a shot at being the first Millennial Senator.

Definitely hoping he gets in!

The description makes it sound like another Anthony Weiner type situation. In reality this isn't even really PG-13 level in content.

Not really something that would be huge and dropped at the perfect time.

I just realized this literally might have stopped a Democratic majority.

Even if they add Iowa - They aren’t winning Georgia or GeorgiaS. So this might have kept Mitch in charge. My god.

Uh, CO, ME, AZ and IA while losing AL is still a majority with Harris as the tiebreaker.

Celebrating adultery and home-wrecking to own the cons.  Guess it just goes to show that there are plenty of shameless partisan hacks in the Democratic Party too.  

Actually, it's even worse than that.  You can want Cunningham to win despite his scandal because this could be the tipping point seat for control of the Senate.  Fair enough, but that doesn't change the fact that Cunningham is a lying, pathetic excuse for a human being.  What he did was unjustifiable and utterly reprehensible.  A Democratic Senate majority is worth tolerating him for six years, but that doesn't make Cunningham any less of a deplorable scumbag.

Moreover, celebrating him for being a home-wrecking adulterer just because he happens to be a Democrat is precisely the sort of morally bankrupt partisan hackery that folks here are always complaining about whenever Trump supporters say they don't care about Trump's scandals.

Don't hurt yourself coming down from your high horse.

don't act like it's the 50's. Marriages fail. Private life is different public life. lets just focus on policy

Defending adultery and home-wrecking to own the cons.

I don't know what delusion you're under but a simple meme abt a candidate winning despite people knowing he's having affairs is not at all equivalent to the owning the libs

what people do to "own the libs":
not using mail in ballots
not wearing masks
pretending anyone cares about "happy holidays"
saying all lives matter
attacking Joe Biden's sons
defending Qanoners
defending Roy Moore
taking away people's healthcare


The mental gymnastics for you to equate that one meme with all the toxic stuff Republicans do takes the most brain dead "both sides"-ism ive ever seen in my life

I’m not comparing the meme to any of those things.  What I am doing is pointing out that you - and you specifically - are using the same type of rationalization of horrible behavior Republicans use.  It’s the same kind of tribalistic, ends-justify-the-means hackery.  Incidentally, what Cunningham did was far worse than the “happy holidays” whining, choosing to vote in person rather than by mail, or Trump’s smears against Hunter Biden.  

If you wanna say Cunningham is a scumbag, but we gotta tolerate him for six years to flip the Senate, then I agree.  But that’s not what you said.  You basically argued that it was merely 1950s-style prudish moralizing to say that Cunningham is a bad person for cheating on his wife and also wrecking another marriage in the process.  If you really believe that such conduct is perfectly fine, then it says a lot about your moral values, none of it good.

I don’t get what’s so hard about acknowledging Cunningham is a scumbag, but also a necessary evil.  Many other posters in this thread have done this, but it seems like you’ve made a point of not doing so.

It's a really really REALLY big stretch to describe what Cunningham did as "cheating".

He...uhh. Had sex with a woman who wasn't his wife....

Is that a confirmed new development? All I heard is he sent her some pretty tame texts about kissing, like middle school sexting.

Replace "Trump" with "Cunningham".
