Santander (D) v Badger (R)

[OSR stands with Israel]

Badger would never pick someone he views as a right-wing extremist like Olympia Snowe.

Badger is basically a Rockefeller Republican, Olympia Snowe is also one, but she has to somewhat toe the party line, because she was a Senator

Nope hes too the left of them, hes defended AOC's and Corbyn Policies

Corbin? When?

My view of him basically elicits a shrug and probably slightly better than May. I'd vote lib Dem if I was over there.

You said it was preferable to Thatcherism and Reaganism , Rockefeller Republicans certianly wouldnt say that

Actually, a liberal, even a liberal Republican, certainly would.. Thatcher and Reagan were both awful. That hardly means I'm a fan of Corbin, though.

No way would a Rockefeller Republican favor full on socialism over Reaganomics . Reagan was still to considerably more moderate than the 1920s GOP, and even compared to Republicans like Taft . If there was an election between McGovern and Reagan (heck even Goldwater) I have no doubt most Rockefeller Republicans would back Reagan .


We have proof of the in the U.K. where One Nation Tories backed Thatcher over Michael Foot . Heck over here Jacob Javits backed Reagan over Carter and Mondale(Neither of whom are as left wing as McGovern, Bernie or AOC).

He supported Ronald Reagan in 1980 and again in 1984.

One Nation Conservatism, as a political descriptor, is completely useless. Tories of all stripes describe themselves as such to make their elitism seem somewhat more palatable.

Yes. And I unapologetically don't call myself a conservative. And I'm proud to say that Regan suck dirt water as a president. Literally most overrated we've ever had.

[Former President tack50]

I would vote Badger (R), but I think Santander would win.

The map would probably be a complete flip from 2016 I guess.

[Wazza [INACTIVE]]

I'd vote for Satander and I think he'd win.

LMAO no way, more like a Vito Marcantonio Republican.

And I'm honored by the comparison.

Edit: actually, Vito was significantly more left-wing on foreign policy than I am or would have been at the time. I'm confident I would have been an anti-communist liberal like Hubert Humphrey, and likewise would have supported entry into the Korean War.

Damn, this is a tough one. I like both posters quite a bit. Lean Badger, I guess, due to his being an Ohioan. But very tough call.

[TDAS04]

I’d vote for Badger.
