Trump has repeatedly claimed his rallies have been boosting GOP candidates, despite polling that suggests they have not.
If we’re gonna get told by everyone it’s a shameful admission his presence is harmful to fellow GOP candidates, that makes me think it’s actually because he’s having an episode of dementia or decline or has a necessary but unplanned treatment he has to attend.
That’s a solid theory. Here’s another one: he always does this to losing candidates as a way to distance himself from the blame.
A man can dream.
Oh, they indeed boost local politics. Nothing is better to remind people who is in cahoots with that traitor.
Shit, Kansas is about to flip according to polls. If a dem wins senate in Kansas; theres a 90% chance they win midterms.
I did my part first day of early voting!
A blue Kansas would be incredible. I have family there, and it’s one of the most under-served states I’ve visited. Horrible education system, failing infrastructure, Internet is ludicrously expensive for garbage-tier service (at least in small towns and rural areas)… It’s not quite Mississippi bad, but it will be eventually if things don’t get turned around.
Brownback and all the Republicans who went along probably set that state back a generation.
all the perennial ‘red’ states are… at least by that much.
And not just Kansas. Texas may flip blue too. Talafreakos for the win!
Yup, keep touting those polls. That famously gets people out to vote when they think they don’t have to bother.
I don’t know. Kansas is a historically Red place, not known for its elected Democrats. Seeing polls that say the Dem is within striking range or even ahead in Kansas could be a HUGE motivator for Team Blue turnout, because suddenly your vote MAY be the one that puts your guy or gal over the top and makes it possible for a flip of a reliably Red seat to Blue. That’s why Dems (and Reps) publish polls in close races.
But you do have a point. The only poll that matters is the one concluded on 3 November and conducted by your State. If your ballot isn’t turned in, you’re making it easier for the guy or gal you DON’T want to get into office, so make sure you vote as soon as possible, and if not, by Tuesday.
Actually, Kansas has had several Democratic governors. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still very red as a whole, but maybe not as much as people think. As a kid. It was much more red than it has been lately.
Missouri has gone the opposite direction. It was more blue when I moved here, but now, they have their heads so far up Trump’s ass, they taste McDonald’s.
Maybe he should still go and tell everyone how well the oil companies are doing. They’re killing it.
You should go Donny. You the man. You have the golden touch. Everyone’s saying they want you there. People say.
Roger’s ass wasn’t juicy enough for him.
Low energy. Sad.
Hm.
