It's not good to brag about how much $$$ you raised and tax payers are paying for Congressional checks anyways 100K a yr. That's why Jesse Jackson Jr got put in jail, his wife Sandy was dipping into the pot of Lottery funds in ILLINOIS.  After that testimony Blago and Jesse Jackson Jr was put in jail. I dont care how much money you raise, it's all from tax payers

What the fck are you talking about lol

Gideon is losing

and besides a republican internal said so your reasoning for this is ??

Why are people unironically replying to OC?

Because his responses are often entertaining by how badly nonsensical they are

Tilt R now that RGB died. This really opens up a clear opportunity for her to redeem herself. Maybe I'm just being too overreactive to the events of the day though

Uhhh

how?

If she votes yes on any Trump SC replacement for RBG, she will be dead on arrival. However, if she is the deciding nay or even abstain, which I think is very possible, she will gain the title of "moderate hero" back.

Gideon can still and very likely will attack Collins that if she loses, she'd still vote for Trump's appointment in a lame duck period. Why would she care if she's out of office anyways after Kavanaugh and impeachment. Only a vote for Gideon would be a safe vote against a Trump appointment.

If the vote happens before the election and Collins votes "no", that will make such attack ads look silly to most of the general public.

A. The Senate vote will 100% not be until the lame duck.
B. If Collins votes no it kills her turnout among Republican voters, who may well skip the Senate race out of spite.

I suspect RCV will solve this problem. Many will vote for Linn with their hearts and give her their second preference with their heads.

Or they'd leave it blank

It's possible, but the thing about preferential voting is that once a "protest vote" has been cast, it's generally easier to think a little more strategically, especially if the justice was confirmed anyway.

Fair enough
