Sadly, true. All they keep doing is screaming about the election being stolen. True or not, Brandon is in the house, so you might as well just talk about what you're gonna do to fix the mess.

Democrats know how to play the game.

Democrats’ "Senate Majority PAC" made a major advertising spend in New Hampshire ahead of our Sept. 13th primary, bashing New Hampshire state Senate President Chuck Morse (the most moderate Republican in the race to take on Maggie Hassan for US Senate), on the premise that Maggie will have an easier time against general Don Bolduc.

Politico said:
While the Democratic spot is not an outright boost of a pro-Trump candidate in a Republican primary, it does fit into a broader pattern of Democratic ads affecting GOP nominating contests this primary season. Democratic groups in other states, including one funded by Senate Majority PAC in Colorado, have spent tens of millions of dollars boosting less-electable Republicans in primaries this year, often by tying them to former President Donald Trump.

Bashing Chuck was a successful ploy:

Plenty of clowning to go around this year.
PBS said:
Bolduc’s victory likely reignites disappointment among some in the national party that Republican Gov. Chris Sununu, a relatively popular moderate who might have posed more of a threat to Hassan, chose instead to run for reelection. In his primary, Bolduc defeated New Hampshire state Senate President Chuck Morse, a mainstream Republican endorsed by Sununu, who called Morse “the candidate to beat Sen. Hassan this November and the candidate Sen. Hassan is most afraid to face.”

By contrast, Sununu called Bolduc a conspiracy theorist and suggested he would have a tougher time in the general election. Bolduc wasn’t bothered by Sununu’s criticism, calling the governor “a Chinese communist sympathizer.”

Sununu is a spineless RINO. Anyone he supports is a bad primary candidate.

There are "bad" candidates and there are "unelectable" candidates. Bolduc is both, but hey, at least he isn't a RINO, right?

So the National Democratic org ran a campaign ad during the Republican primary targeting just one Republican primary candidate because that guy was "a bad primary candidate"?

“The truth is if a state that you’re in has open carry laws, there’s nothing that you, as senator, can do directly. That’s the truth,” he claimed. “Some of these states have open carry laws and it’s perfectly legal and a United States senator can’t directly intervene and change that.”

“But what we can do is eliminate the filibuster and pass comprehensive gun reform legislation federally that supersedes and eliminates the option to have open carry,” Fetterman said.

Here is the "truth" if you end the filibuster, start messing with the electoral college system, and pack the supreme court then you will see states move to secede (at least I hope so).

So if the dems lose in November bring it up...the repubs should suggest eliminating the filibuster and call for court packing but the senate mandate constitutional originalists. The same dems screaming for it now will be against it tomorrow when they're on the receiving end.
 

Every state that had epic cheating in 2020 has a Senate seat up for grabs in 2022.​


You know how this is going to go. Buckle up.

US midterm elections: The six races that could decide the US Senate​

US midterm elections: The six races that could decide the US Senate

In a Senate split 50-50 between two parties, every race counts. Here are six to watch.
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

Georgia​

Two upset victories in this traditionally conservative southern state ultimately gave the Democrats control of the Senate after the 2020 election - and Georgia could prove pivotal again.
One of the winners was Raphael Warnock, 53, who became the state's first-ever black senator thanks to African American voters turning out in huge numbers. This time, Republicans have also nominated a black candidate, Herschel Walker, 60.
The two men both come from humble roots, but the paths they've taken - and their politics today - could not be more different. Senator Warnock is a Baptist preacher who rose to prominence as the senior pastor at Martin Luther King Jr's church. Mr Walker is an American football legend who was lured into the race by his old friend Donald Trump.

Walker's campaign has been plagued by a series of personal scandals - yet conservative voters appear to like his plea for redemption and his rejection of liberal policies.
Warnock hopes his campaign to protect abortion and voting rights will inspire liberals - but high inflation, a slowing economy and the unpopularity of President Joe Biden threaten his narrow lead.

If neither candidate gets 50% - a possibility because there is a third-party Libertarian candidate - then there will be a run-off election on 6 December.

Pennsylvania​

Close contests have become the norm here. The last two presidential elections were each decided by barely 1% - and this Senate race could also come down to the wire.
Perhaps that's why it's got so personal. Or maybe it's because of the larger-than-life characters.

John Fetterman, 53, is the tattooed 6ft 8in (2m) Harvard-graduate-turned-small-town mayor who usually dresses in shorts and a hoodie. The progressive Democrat had a commanding lead until he suffered a stroke a few months ago that required him to use closed captioning technology to answer questions.

His Republican opponent, Mehmet Oz - best known to TV viewers as "Dr Oz" from the Oprah Winfrey Show - has capitalised, repeatedly challenging him to public debates and even suggesting Mr Fetterman would not be ill if he "had ever eaten a vegetable in his life".
In return, the Fetterman campaign has trolled the celebrity heart surgeon on social media as a carpetbagger from New Jersey, a peddler of disproven miracle cures and even a puppy killer.
Strap in for more election drama in this campaign's final stretch.

Nevada​

This is another race that experts are calling a "toss up" because it's too close to call right now.
Democratic Senator Catherine Cortez Masto won election to Congress in 2016 as the country's first ever Latina senator. Now she's viewed as the most at-risk candidate this year - and Latino voters may help sink her bid for re-election.

Democrats have been losing ground with Latinos in recent years - in part because many prefer conservative policies on abortion and immigration. But it's the struggling economy - the most important issue for every demographic - which is most damaging. Nevada, which relies so much on the riches generated in Las Vegas and Reno, was particularly hard hit by the pandemic.
Republicans are hoping voters punish the party in power. If they do, then Adam Laxalt, 44, could follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather who both served in the Senate. He is endorsed by Mr Trump and backs the ex-president's unfounded claims that the 2020 election was stolen.

Ohio​

The state voted solidly Republican in two consecutive presidential elections, so this race was never supposed to be as close as it has been.
Democrats nominated Tim Ryan, 49, a 10-term lawmaker in the House of Representatives and 2020 presidential candidate.
Republicans nominated JD Vance, 38, a venture capitalist who achieved widespread fame with his best-selling 2016 memoir-turned-Netflix-film "Hillbilly Elegy".

Once a so-called "Never Trumper", Mr Vance now enthusiastically embraces Mr Trump - or as the former president described it: "JD is kissing my ass, he wants my support so bad!"

The novice politician has stumbled on the campaign trail and Mr Ryan, who once challenged Speaker Nancy Pelosi for her leadership gavel in the House, has kept the pressure on.
Outside spending by Republican groups is keeping Mr Vance afloat in the final weeks of the campaign, assailing his opponent in adverts as a fake "moderate" who fully supports what they describe as the Democrat's radical agenda.
Mr Vance may well go on to win, but he will have to sweat to make it happen.

Arizona​

Nowhere have conspiracy theories about the 2020 election taken hold more strongly than in the Grand Canyon State.
The Republican candidate for Senate, Blake Masters, 36, openly pushes the so-called "Big Lie", that Trump actually won and the election result was stolen from him, as do the candidates for other key positions.
A self-professed "America First conservative" with a nationalist platform, he is fiercely critical of Big Tech, opposes US aid to Ukraine and has even called for a federal Bitcoin reserve.
Seeking to defend the Democratic-held seat is Mark Kelly, a former Nasa astronaut whose wife, Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, was shot in the head in a near-fatal 2011 incident.
The couple have focused on gun control activism over the past decade as Ms Giffords slowly regains her ability to read, speak and walk. But Senator Kelly has been on the defensive over illegal immigration in this border state, rejecting Mr Masters' claim he supports "open borders".
Top Republican groups have avoided big spending on this race, due in part to the fringe views espoused by the Masters campaign, and Mr Kelly has maintained a lead since the summer.

Wisconsin​

In another sharply divided state where elections are decided on razor-thin margins, Democrats made this race their biggest target early on in the election cycle.
Party strategists salivated when Senator Ron Johnson, who had promised to retire as a lawmaker after his second term, changed his mind because "the country is in too much peril".
The Republican, 67, voted against certifying Joe Biden's 2020 election victory, downplays the riot at the US Capitol, and even once suggested gargling mouthwash to kill the coronavirus.
But Republicans argue it is the Democratic nominee Mandela Barnes, 35, whose positions are extreme. They cite the Wisconsin lieutenant governor's previous association with the far-left movement to defund police and abolish the agency that detains illegal immigrants.
Mr Barnes has sought to focus on Mr Johnson's anti-abortion views but it's the Republican who has momentum.

No biased in that article. :rolleyes:

Here we go. Btw it appears the Colorado gay club shooter was unexpectedly taken down by some brave patrons with their bare hands. Had they not, it’s likely this could have been a slaughter. With major major MAJOR headlines. Enough to sway the Senate RINOS. As it stands, they’ll need more bloodshed and outrage to get the Senate RINOS to abandon their party and pass the AWB.
