he was the only one within throwing distance of beating Ossoff

mtg is believed to be keen to throw her hat into the ring for the position... this might be a very good thing for democrats since she's not exactly popular

She's dumb as hell. It's the orange felon effect, before he came about, these Republicans behaved as if they had some sort of home training.

After he opened his big mouth, they all think they can behave like they were raised by gorillas.

beating Ossoff

Ossoff was probably the Dems' most endangered incumbent, especially once Chris Sununu decided against running against Jeanne Shaheen in New Hampshire. I guess Ossoff is still the most at-risk, but that risk just got a LOT lower.

I wonder if Kemp and Sununu have sensed what political junkies everywhere already know: 2026 is going to be a brutal year for Republicans.

If MTG runs for this it's going to draw attention, and money, from all over.

It'll be fun to watch, anyway.

Thanks for the post Butters. I missed this. Big story and good news for Dems.

That ^ and the fact that shit could be so bad in the country / world that they (Kemp, Sununu, etc) don’t want to be associated with the cause of it (DonOld & the D.C. MAGAt republicans).

The common rural MAGAts (and gullible "Independents") might be looking for scalps after being LIED TO / BETRAYED by DonOld & the D.C. MAGAt republicans.



We. Told. Them. So.

I strongly support any batshit crazy Qanon MAGAs like MTG who want to run for office. They are comedy gold.

Kemp wouldn't run because Trump will never forgive him for his failure to find 12,000 votes back in 2020.
About 20% of MAGA hate his guts for that, but suburban Republicans adored him.

So now we're going to have a true shitshow primary between two Congresspersons: Marjorie Taser Green and Meltdown Mike Collins

Mike Collins is actually a worse person than MTG.
Here he is Derping on Twitter, criticizing the Senator who went to El Salvador last week...Mikey no likey!

https://twitter.com/x/status/1913379300104880406

But his true meltdown happened last Friday, when his favorite Congressional mall food spot (Steak 'n Shake) moved and was replaced by a..*gasp*....HALAL restaurant chain. Teh MUSLIMS are coming! Teh MUSLIMS are coming.
He compared this to the "Muslim conquest of Jerusalem in the seventh century"
Irony alert: Steak 'n Shake is a closely held corporation owned by a centimillionaire Iranian!

Sounds like he's trying to out-dumb MTG. My guess is she'll take the nomination if she wants it - she's got a big head start on shoveling red meat to the haters.

Kemp came in second for the Profile in Courage Award, lol

mtg bails on Senate race

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) finally settled weeks of speculation by taking her name out of consideration for Senate, in a lengthy post that railed against Republican lawmakers and insisted she could win the race but wouldn't be able to accomplish anything because her GOP colleagues would just roll over for Democrats anyway.

imma guessing it's not Barbie world... trump pissed that Mattel plans to move more production of more toys to places other than China, but not in the US.

Kreiz, whose company also owns the Hot Wheels brand as well as Barbie, told CNBC: "We believe that production in other countries, where we can be efficient and more productive, is the best balance between manufacturing outside of the US. and continuing to develop products in terms of design and creativity in America."

In response, in a video shared to TikTok, 78-year old Trump said in the White House: "For Mattel, they're the only country that said 'we're going to try counter, we're going some place else. That’s OK, let him go, and we'll put a 100% tariff on his toys, and he won’t sell one toy in the United States, and that’s their biggest market."

hmmn, okay, 2 things here:

• has trump done more geographical renaming, or does he really believe Mattel is a country?
• who wants to tell Americans trump's tariffs will mean they can't buy that most American-iconic doll Barbie for their kids?

My my my....that certainly was unexpected.

I'm guessing that clears the way for Meltdown Mike Collins as the presumptive Republican candidate.

I'm sure "Alabama" senator Tommy Tuberville (who has resided in Destin Florida for the past 6 years, and pays to rent an empty room in an Alabama rooming house to establish "residency") is relieved that there may finally be a Senator with less intelligence than he has.
