I wonder if they do and endorsement for an endorsement deal

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Looks like Harper will just consolidate the progressive/outsider vote then. We'll see if it's enough.

So he’ll get 20% instead of 15%?

But…but…but Atlas told me he was an unbeatable titan who only got screwed over by 2022 in a fluke.

One of the GOP's biggest problems is that those Republican candidates who have the potential to reshake the race by creating a different, non-traditional coalition (e.g. Craig) often lack the resources, experience, national support, and (sometimes) simply the seriousness to effectively compete.

Meanwhile, those candidates who are capable of running at least a somewhat serious campaign (e.g. McCormick, Rogers) lack the realization that the GOP has long moved on from whatever it was under Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush and Paul Ryan.

A candidate who combines both can do very well, but they’re few and far between, almost non-existent.

David Clarke is another example in that first category and Hovde in the 2nd one.

The abortion amendment worked out quite well for Dems in 2022, and they won't have that boost in 2024. However, I've wondered if it possible for them to put up another one on the ballot again by just changing up the language ever so slightly. Could be an infinite win glitch if courts allow it?

Probably not. Even if another abortion amendment was able to get on the ballot, there wouldn't be the same degree of urgency there was in 2022. Still, Dems could try to use ballot initiative around another key issue to motivate base turnout; who knows what the media cycle will be like in even 3 months from now.

Dems could theoretically try to do a new ballot initiative that would undo the last abortion ballot initiative, but that would obv be a terrible look and hurt them in the end. And if it actually passed, Democrats would never live down the incompetence.

David Clarke has a lot of the positives of Craig but he also has a bunch of negatives the latter doesn't.
Anyway, Rogers certainly leaves much to be desired, but he doesn't belong in the same category as Hovde/McCormick. Those two are really out of touch

Amash has formed an exploratory committee (as a Republican).

Lol he has no chance in the primary and will just hurt Rogers more

We already have a former representative of MI-3 who is anti-Trump, who I like but stands no chance in the primary. Why do we need need another?

It should have been a sign that Craig was a terrible candidate when he couldn't get enough signatures to get on the ballot in 2022. Rogers is a strong favorite in this primary.

The above fundraising numbers are why me and others brought up the signature issues even though it doesn't matter electorally. It was a flashing red light that this guy doesn't know how to run the backend of a campaign, which will lead to decisions that do have electoral impacts. And the fundraising is a sign that things have not changed in this regard.

Makes me question why Schumer was so dead set on Theresa Greenfield to run against Ernst in 2020. She got kicked off the ballot for a House race for basically the same reason.

Schumer's picks were mostly people who could raise funds from large donors and use said funds to mostly attack Republican opponents, and Greenfield was one of many candidates around the country who evidently fit this profile.
