Everybody get ready for a steady drumbeat of this type of crap for the next 18 months. And I'm sure our usual suspects on this board will be parroting these talking points about Cooper very soon. "Well, I'd like to vote for Cooper, but..." and the classic standby "If only the Democrats hadn't nominated such a far-left radical as their candidate I might have considered voting Democratic, but not this year. I'll have to go with [insert generic Trumplican candidate] in this election."

Great news !

Now the DNC needs to pour millions into his campaign to discourage any vanity primary opponents so Cooper can begin to campaign as the de facto Dem Senate nominee.

The field has already been cleared for him - Wiley Nickel was the only other somewhat serious candidate and he has dropped out to run for Wake County DA

If that weak sauce is all the GQPers have as their bullshit campaign message, then Roy will win easily with around 54% of the vote 🥳

I don't know if HeelYeah2012 posts on this board anymore, but if he does, get ready to marvel at his explanation for why he's always voted for Cooper for governor, but can't possibly vote for him for Senate, because he's too scared of what the radical left Dems in Congress will do, or something.

Phenomenal news. Gives the Democrats a stellar chance of picking up a Senate seat. Now run someone competent in Maine against Collins and let’s get two.

Good luck on Maine.

Even if Collins runs again, the People’s Republic of Portland will run a mediocre candidate against her…..which year did the Democrats choose Sarah “Ice Queen” Gideon to run? Gideon was “from AWAY” and a Jew (one needs to know how Catholic and evangelical INLAND Maine is) and a “centrist leftist” (yeah, you define that - I can’t)…….and, not likeable…..truly a shitty retail politician…..I knew her when she was on the PTA or whatever Maine calls it and before she ran for the state legislature……she is NOT a friendly person.

Maine has 1.2 million or so residents…..it is a retail politics state.

Good luck on Maine Democrats nominating a candidate who can win.

Then, you have the “Susan Collins” and “Olympia Snowe” “Independents” living from Ogunquit/Wells to Canada along the coast…..they want their taxes low…….eff the LGBTQ residents who’ve turned Biddeford and Damiscarotta and other dying coastal fishing towns into vibrant coastal tourist towns.

Cooper was at the Lodge?

Was Cooper a Morehead?

Speaking of talking points...

Not to derail the conversation, but Republican discipline on talking points is impressive.

If Cooper wins, I’m good……I’m not ecstatic…….he’s OLD.

Cooper is one boring as can be politician. Stunningly boring. Only Cal Cunningham or Al Gore makes Cooper look exciting.

I figure the 2026 US Senate race is 48.5% Democrat to 49.7% Republican even with Cooper as the nominee.
