I am not sure who is #2 on the vile elected official list behind DJT, but I think it would be a photo finish between Gaetz, Gohmert and Cruz.

 

Hawley and Brooks are in that picture.

Gaetz - FL-1 - R+22

Jordan - OH-4 - R+14

Biggs - AZ-5 - R+15

 

We can just treat their opponents like Amy McGrath and throw millions to lose by double digits! 

[Guest Lobo]

A number of Republicans continue to anonymously tell reporters they can't vote for Impeachment due to fear for the safety and lives of their families and themselves.  Congrats Trumpers.

The call (for more violence) is coming from inside the House.

I'm convinced that Gaetz is going to be the one to successfully take up the Trumpist mantle.  He has bought in more than Cruz and Hawley and he has the "he talks like us" idiocy as well to go along with no Ivy league taint like Hawley and Cruz have. 

The cuban rentboy thing might turn off a lot of the MAGA base though.

I was in the car at lunch and heard Louie Gohmert (sp?).

 

What an embarrassment to Texas, and the US in general.

That's what I was saying last week.  Everyone assumes the next torch carrier will be some well-spoken Senator who is able to reel in the MAGA crew, but I think it's far more likely that one of the House lunatics mirrors Trump's run in 2016 and corrals the base to the point of no return.

Lincoln Project makes a lot of money off of these types of races. Everyone hates these guys but no one tells the donators the likelihood of winning. They usually buy one partisan poll that shows them close and then get more money from donations. Dems need to put money and resources, along with a great candidate, in winnable districts. We have effectively lost certain districts to crazy Rs that cannot be won back. So you have to focus money on the others.

I don’t think many realize that the Republicans communications strategy is, as usual, superior to the Democrats. If Democrats don’t figure out a way to finally fix their messaging issues, this mess between Dems/Pubs is going to get way worse. 
 

Here is an example. The Pubs are hammering unity. Trump is focusing solely on his speech, NOT his continuous banging of the election fraud drum.
 

The Dems are focusing mostly on the general topic of inciting, but NOT linking it much to his false claims of election fraud. That is the real inciting that has been happening, and the evidence on that is overwhelming - courts, officials, etc. 

The public is starting to focus on the words in his speech, and not his pattern of behavior over election fraud. Many will conclude, just like on Russia, just like on Ukraine, and just like several other issues, that it’s too difficult to conclusively say Trump is guilty based solely on his speech.

Then, when conviction fails the Dems will look like the dividers. It’s all positioning and messaging and the Dems suck at it.

haven't really been paying attention but i assume the republican talking points against impeachment are:

-he shouldn't be impeached because the dems have been trying to impeach him since he got elected

-he shouldn't be impeached since he only has a week left in office

-end of list

how'd i do?

Agree with this. Honestly the same shit probably would have gone down even if he didn't give the Ellipse speech last week. And impeachment would be just as appropriate as it is now.

In these districts, the primary is what matters.  Support a sane primary opponent, if there are any left in the GOP.

I fear you are correct. The Republicans have proved that they can state a lie or mistruth and keep repeating it until it becomes reality. The Dems have  seemed to cling to being true to their own individual ethics. without uniting behind a single message.

Pretty much got it but you omitted: the Ds are equally guilty of inciting riots this summer. 

Which is just so relevant to this issue.

should have set that to 78 instead of 45 if you wanted to get your moronic bothsidesing rant in your minute, boebert.

We are so far beyond this shit now.  The paradigm has completely shifted. Lots of folks are going to prison in the near future and they won’t be democrats.  That’s going influence messaging strategy.

kind of good. my favorite is that "they have rushed this impeachment effort," especially in light of their rushed appointment to the supreme court.

sucks that unity = placating the minority and pissing off the majority.  not sure how that works.  maybe jim jordan can explain it to me.

i understand what you're saying, but most don't care about the details or talking points of the impeachment, and the articles have to be presented in a somewhat narrow way as a matter of procedure.  people were making these same types of posts a year ago.  way it goes.

he's not going to get convicted unless mitch says so.  it has nothing to do with anything (literally anything) else.

We aren't going to beat them, we will just end up blowing good money on bad races.

We have multiple districts that Biden and a GOP rep won - those are first and foremost where the money goes to keep the House.  Chasing double digit Republican districts is pointless.

Like Brisket said, you beat them in the primary.  But they are already exactly who the base wants.  They're lifers as long as they want to be.

That's right. At lunch I heard traitorous fucker (gohmert maybe?) say if they had prosecuted BLM and antifa with the same zeal they are going after the capital "patriots", the riot never would have happened.

to dbeasy's point i hope the biden administration sets up a unified messaging war room that conducts real-time intake, like hayden's take, processes against the knowledge set and propagates in seconds.   dems are getting pwned when they should be burning the krakens with verbal napalm on live international television.
