Ds are still raising more regardless, the RNC raised $20m for the whole month of February.What he conveniently didn't say is that Trump is using public donations to fund his legal defense, instead of using it to campaign.
What happened to the protesters who were taken away? Did they reappear or were they shot (genuinely asking as I don't know what happened in this instance)?In 2020, there were Americans arrested by unidentified masked agents who were put in unidentified cars and taken to unknown locations. Protesters were pepper sprayed at Lafayette Square so that Trump could take a photo with the Bible upside down.
OK so its a hypothetical then?No, but he did ask his defense secretary if he could bring in the army and shoot protesters in the legs. The DefSec was not MAGA enough to say “sure”, but I have the feeling the next one would not be so constitutionally curious.
Politics is a farce as long as things like that are allowed. Absolute joke.Tweet

Abortion on the ballot means it's very much in play, results in much redder states indicate that.So, i guess dems are going to throw away a bunch of money in Florida(again), because abortion will be on the ballot.
That is one way to throw away the election, Florida is not in play, at all.
Dems don't even need the state, so why do they obsess over it every election? Just let it go.
And even if the presidency and senate seat are not in play, enshrining reproductive rights into the state constitution is a battle worth fighting.Abortion on the ballot means it's very much in play, results in much redder states indicate that.
Very much so, I don't understand how the US can be so backwards with regards to aborton and the idiotic pro-birth GOP.And even if the presidency and senate seat are not in play, enshrining reproductive rights into the state constitution is a battle worth fighting.
The Tennessee House GOP just voted to not even debate a bill that would provide family leave for state employees who take in foster kids. Remember, it is not now, nor has it ever been, about the kids.Very much so, I don't understand how the US can be so backwards with regards to aborton and the idiotic pro-birth GOP.
Make no mistake, they are not pro-life, they don't care if the mother dies, they are just pro-birth.

Of course, dems should mobilize for the referendum, they should fight for that.And even if the presidency and senate seat are not in play, enshrining reproductive rights into the state constitution is a battle worth fighting.
If a democrat can be governor in Kentucky mainly running on abortion rights, I don't see why it won't put Florida in play.Of course, dems should mobilize for the referendum, they should fight for that.
Its not going to change anything for president or senate though, that is all, as Florida is just a red state now.
As said before, they set the goals so low they are guaranteed to surpass it.With 85% reporting, "Uninstructed" is now up to 42,585 votes in the Wisconsin Democratic Primary. That is approximately double the margin Biden won the state with in 2020. The goal of the protest vote campaign was 20,000.
I'd be less concerned with the arbitrary goal they set, and more concerned that they have easily surpassed Biden's 2020 winning margin.As said before, they set the goals so low they are guaranteed to surpass it.
Florida is a state where culture wars and owning the libs sells better than anywhere else, while culture wars flopped for the republicans in most of the country, Florida went all in on it, and won in a landslide, it tells you a lot about the electorate there.If a democrat can be governor in Kentucky mainly running on abortion rights, I don't see why it won't put Florida in play.
Yeah, well, Trump isn't getting the numbers he had in 2020 either.I'd be less concerned with the arbitrary goal they set, and more concerned that they have easily surpassed Biden's 2020 winning margin.
That is very true, but at the same time, win FL and that's that, Trump literally has no path without Florida.Florida is a state where culture wars and owning the libs sells better than anywhere else, while culture wars flopped for the republicans in most of the country, Florida went all in on it, and won in a landslide, it tells you a lot about the electorate there.
Its also a state that overestimate dems in the polls, and the trends in that state only points one way, to the right.
Kentucky having a dem governor doesn't mean much of anything, its just one guy being popular, with huge name recognition at that.
The last point, dems don't need the state, and its much cheaper to win elections in other states anyway.
I'm not saying abortion was the only factor for his win in Kentucky, but it certainly played a big role.Beshear (Kentucky Gov) is also the son of a very popular form Kentucky gov, so that helped with name ID. Also, running against a lunatic for his first term helped.
He was elected in 2019, well before Roe was overturned, so his appeal goes well beyond abortion. The name recognition factor alone is massive.I'm not saying abortion was the only factor for his win in Kentucky, but it certainly played a big role.
Abortion issues has not lost even once since Dobbs anywhere in the US.
Biden is also running against a lunatic.
Yes, but some people there might be getting tired of these culture wars.Florida is a state where culture wars and owning the libs sells better than anywhere else, while culture wars flopped for the republicans in most of the country, Florida went all in on it, and won in a landslide, it tells you a lot about the electorate there.

I thought exactly the same thing. Besides, anti-depressants are also available in Japan. Hello...Those video games certainly explain all those shootings in...checks notes...Japan?
It’s not only Japan, those same video games and anti-depressants are available in most countries in the world and none of them have as many mass shooting.Those video games certainly explain all those shootings in...checks notes...Japan?

Why can't he do both? The economy is actually doing pretty well generally, no sense in them pretending it's not. Doesn't mean you can't talk about healthcare or abortion too.Tweet

he needs to very obviously run on traditional stuff ("they're coming for social security and abortion") instead of crowing about the economy or how he's tough on immigration.
The problem is people, for whatever reason, don't seem to think the economy is doing well.Why can't he do both? The economy is actually doing pretty well generally, no sense in them pretending it's not.
Americans being insular shocker!That's the thing though... people think the economy is doing poorly, just not where they live.

This isn't a "seem"; food and rent are literally much higher now than 2018. About 30% higher.Will be a Dem talking point, but in the end won't count for much if rents, gas, and groceries still seem much higher today than 5 years ago.
