I just don't get this crap about Sinema.

What's she hoping for? What is she holding out for?
What's her motivation?

(There is never a stupid question, only stupid answers.)

...Don't see any sign she can flip Iowa's Senate seat.

PA, and WI are our best shots, with NC and OH as stretches.

PA deffo, with Fetterman, is our top hope. WI second, NC 3rd. OH is a true stretch, unfortunately. FL too. The rest are not happening., and I will not waste money on them.

I am really worried about holding GA, AZ, NH (biggest break of the midterms so far when Sununu said no, as he would have won easily I fear), and NV.

I love Abby, but she's not (nor is anybody else) beating grassley. He's there until he quits or croaks. He wins every election by a landslide. People just love him here. Even ernst is difficult to beat, but not as difficult as grassley.

He says it's probably to a small group of Libertarian business people who don't want to pay taxes that will fund programs for the less fortunate.

I'm quoting him pretty much verbatim. He did use the word "probably."

In Mary Trump's most recent podcast, she joked that we should just outbid whoever is buying off Manchin and Sinema.

I don't think it's simply being bought off (her and manchin's obstinance). I think they are both on huge ego trips over the power they wield.

81,268,924 million people vote for President Biden. sinema got 1,191,100 votes. manchin got 290,510. Despite the fact that nobody elected them president, here they are with a HUGE influence. They love all the attention and power.
