Interesting. I wonder how Mr. Wright feels about a presidential campaign coordinating with a hostel foreign government to win an election. Or a president withholding foreign aid to an ally in exchange for dirt on a political opponent.

Looks like Katie Hill's seat in CA-25 is going to flip in the special election. Republicans are crushing Ds in mail in ballot returns which is a pretty good indicator Christy Smith is going to lose easily to Mike Garcia. Not great!

it's a really R district so it's a shame it came to this. dont think a man (especially a republican one!) would have been 'forced' out of that seat.

D registration out numbers R registration (39/32). Apparently Hill won a large portion of the independents so hopefully that comes into play too. Smith seems like a cookie cutter corporate Dem regardless, but would be nice not to lose for that brief few hours of positive perception.

Trump tweeted that he saw the Georgia video. For a change he is on the side of right, but he of course uses Trump language so his words are like he is wearing mittens to type.

OK really R was too far, but before 2018, republicans had won it by 6-10% for the prior 3 elections.

Seems like republicans do better on mail in here, which is a benefit in these times. And the republican nominee is latino in a district with a fair amount of latino independents.

this is why it's ridiculous for the GOP to be against mail in ballots. there's no evidence they benefit either party

Now the official POTUS account re-tweeted:

@realDonaldTrump

DRAIN THE SWAMP!


Just a random DTS yell.

I don't know if it is irony, stupidity or just gas lighting that he has been a total swap creature. He gets played by politicians, lobbyist, etc. His inbred nepotism and cronyism paternalistic hiring practices are super swampy, maybe definitionally.

He has six issues listed on his campaign website, each with like three sentences about it. One of the six is "Socialism." Lol

I've never understood this either, especially since if we're still in the thick of COVID-19 in November, many seniors that would typically go out and vote R simply won't be able to.

Chester County's R Party Facebook page posts sporadically about how people should go get mail in. Every comment on it is their own voters saying no way, it is a scam, fraud, I will vote in person because I am not afraid. It is wild.

Won't 32 Rs usually outvote 39 Ds?
