Democrat Charles Booker, a Kentucky state representative, is hoping to lean on the support of his fellow local elected officials as he tries to upset Amy McGrath in the Senate primary. Campaign Pro’s James Arkin reported (for Pros) that nearly half of the Democrats in the state House have backed him, and two state senators and another representative also endorsed his bid. "They are realizing that the [DSCC] choice, the person that has all this outside money, is not the strongest candidate to do it. And they're standing with me,” Booker said in an interview with James. (McGrath is endorsed by the DSCC.)

I tend to agree. McGrath builds nothing with the local party, brings nothing other than being a fighter pilot, and initially got off being 'pro-Trump'. For the national party to continue to push her is pretty lame.

Everyone knows this. Donald Trump cares about one person, and that's the message to 'moderate' voters or to the Obama/Trump voters.

Yeah seems to be a tactic Biden is adopting. Talk about how he gave millions to all the businesses that donate to him.

Emulating Trump is not a winning strategy.

Twitter has now shown that everything we have been saying about them (and their other compatriots) is correct. Big action to follow!

Twit Force

The really interesting part imo is what Trump’s “big action” will be. He’s got no First Amendment case. Twitter could legally (if not practically) cut him off if they wanted. He could try legislation but that has little chance of happening and would probably take too long anyway. He could try to rally his followers to boycott Twitter but then he endangers his own best platform.

Based on previous experience my guess is he’ll get Butt Boy Barr to increase antitrust pressure on the social media companies to try to get them to bend to the imperial will.

I do think what Twitter has done, although perhaps not enough, is bold though. They’ve done nothing before now and to poke this particular bear less than 6 months before the election is setting up a huge confrontation.

Republicans feel that Social Media Platforms totally silence conservatives voices. We will strongly regulate, or close them down, before we can ever allow this to happen. We saw what they attempted to do, and failed, in 2016. We can’t let a more sophisticated version of that....

....happen again. Just like we can’t let large scale Mail-In Ballots take root in our Country. It would be a free for all on cheating, forgery and the theft of Ballots. Whoever cheated the most would win. Likewise, Social Media. Clean up your act, NOW!!!!

This is a US president talking about taking governmental action to shut down private businesses. Why? Because Twitter called him out on ONE of the steady stream of lies he has told over the past four+ years. This is also a US president advocating against free and fair elections, i.e. democracy. Americans must remain vigilant!!
