ME-02: Poliquin in denial

3rd Term for Brucie!!! In all honesty I really like him, I met him last year and we talked about the patriots

Golden is basically a carbon copy of Conor Lamb.

Much easier district to win too. Trump I think was the first Republican to win here since Herb.

Not necessarily. PA-18 was mostly suburban and what’s what win it for lamb. ME-2 is the 2nd most rural district in the country full of WWC voters

And this is why ranked choice blows

[Strudelcutie4427]

Ranked Choice is a fouking abomination. It needs to go

RCV violates the one man one vote rule. It gives some people 2 or 3 votes. And before any one brings up the electoral college, all states are a fptp system. The US is basically a federation of 50 semi-independent nations. Not a unitary centralized country, National pv violates the notion that individual states matter

I hope everyone complaining about RCV also complains equally as much about Georgia and Louisiana's runoff systems because the two are pretty much identical in concept, it's just with Georgia and Louisiana you have to have the voters go to the polls a second time instead of doing it all on one sheet of paper.

I don’t like the LA/GA system either. Just run a normal primary then hold the general. There’s no need to make the general essentially a clown car primary

Yeah, I don’t get why Republicans are getting so worked up over this result, it was always obvious that RCV would help Golden here. Sure, he’s a strong candidate, but beating a flawed incumbent by 1% in a massive Democratic wave doesn’t mean that he won’t be very vulnerable in a more favorable year for Republicans.

I got no doubt we take him out in 2020. I’m just not sure who we run here. I doubt LePage wants to be a congressman
