You might as well just set an Andrew Jackson on fire.

Mitch is going to be re-elected in a walk

Because you could spend that money on a candidate with a chance?

Exactly….money doesn’t do much.


But I still say if you feel like donating try to help candidates with a chance.

I'm still not sure I agree with money doesn't do much…although I'm sure Jeb Bush would agree with you
and this early on, hard to say 'who has a chance' ….well Mike Gravel really doesn't

On the topic of money…

Marianne Williamson Gives a Loving Lift to Fellow Peacemonger Mike Gravel

Anybody running against Mitch has no chance…he will win by at least 20 points

Money can help the right candidate but Hillary had way more money than Trump

If money mattered that much Howard Dean would have been President


They WANT you to think it matters so you donate….

Boo…let me wear my rose colored glasses

this is interesting to note
McConnell’s approval rating is the lowest of any congressional leader, standing at only 25 percent, according to a Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll survey published earlier this year, and 36 percent in his home state of Kentucky, according to a Morning Consult survey conducted during the first quarter of 2019.

Polls schmolls


He wins by 20…..at least

I don’t get people that tell people not to run….seems very anti-democratic and un American


Now I can see trying to convince people not to vote third party once all candidates are announced for general but at this early point?

Anyone who wants to be president should run to be president…the more the better

I think Trump is more un-American and anti-democratic than telling a left-center guy not to run as an independent. Can't Ross Perot run as the independent choice instead of Schultz?

Ross Perot has announced he will not be running.

potw

I mean if you want to donate do so to the Senate candidates with a real chance like whoever picks up D nomination in AZ…a very flippable seat but will require hard work

I dont know, McConnell's opponent has my vote!

So she wants people to vote for her because McConnell hasn’t done enough to help Trump?

Seriously?

of course she has your tru-blue, inside the beltway, latte drinking, USWNT supporting, climate overexcited,  gender-dysphoric vote
but you don't live in KY…so matters little

question is can we inspire the people of KY to vote for her

On one hand, send McConnell on a rocket ship into the sun.

On the other, it'll be interesting to see how much push she gets from the DNC.  If her selling point is "let's help Trump do more things!", how is that any different from any other Republican in office?  It's just another Joe Manchin, and fuck Joe Manchin.

EDIT: Should have started with the fact that I spit coffee at your description of me lol

So I'd take Joe Manchin 2.0 over Mitch any f'n day, any f'n day
I'm not a big fan of joe, but you have to play to your constituents

same as KY…could you imagine Gillibran or Harris running in that state…they'd be laughed off the stage
You need someone who is a Blue-Dog …so a lean right Dem…but still a dem

and I'm glad someone likes my humor

Totally


But saying Mitch hasn’t done enough is not blue dog it’s wack dog

I mean come on!

NKOTB lives in Bernie fantasyland

well I think she is trying to win over KY voters who voted for Mitch…saying he didn't do any of the things he'd promised he'd do
I don't think her message is "I'm going to support trump and get trumps agenda done…so vote for me"
but there is some of trumps agenda that she might have to support…question is which part

Fair enough but those comments seemed politically tone deaf


Mitch has been Trump’s #1 ally

With out Mitch…this country would be soo different
starting before trump, but only gotten worse with trump
he is the #1 enabler of all trumps insanity and Congress is supposed to be a check on the president
Mitch turned it into a blank check
