That Scott Hughes account is clearly a parody, so hopefully the Huggins for congress story is fake.

That would make sense though that site is not the only one reporting it (but maybe that is just echo chamber at work - no mainstream political news site has picked it up).

Female Republicans.... Absolutely insane

Female Republicans.... Absolutely insane

Especially those like Tafoya who are intelligent and educated.

It's a shame too because I always liked her work as a sports broadcaster. I wouldn't have guessed that she's a tater.

Very low turnout (as is typical in specials)

I question whether or not she’s educated. Or intelligent.

She may have a college degree. That doesn’t mean she’s educated.

She comes across as a “law and ORDER” Trumplican.

If he loses the referendum, will he resign in shame?

How would Trump recognize shame?

I know the odds aren’t great, but what’s the most feasible path for Dems to take the Senate?

It involves holding Michigan, and less likely Georgia AND flipping NC THEN having to flip 3 of these four (five): Alaska, Ohio, Maine, Texas, (Iowa)

so doesn't look likely at all

I have no idea what's happened to our generation. My guess is it's mainly older Xers, but that could be me coping. But what the hell is wrong with us?

D's have to retain seats in GA, MI, NH, MN, flip ME, NC, OH, and one or more of AK, IA, TX, NE. In a sane, rational world, that is possible. In 2026 America, it's wishful thinking.
