Kobach is a cockroach. He is never going away. In the event of a nuclear apocalypse, you will still find Kobach trying to grift the remains of humanity into buying his anti immigrant plan.I wonder if Kobach is done now. Lost the governor general election and the losses the Republican Senate primary. That's not really a good track record to use as a springboard toward any significant political office.
Reminder that he is not, never was, never will be. Just another GOP stooge. Kobach is a monster against immigrants. Faster he disappears off the face of politics, the better.
AZ... come on. I guess this is another instance of those R's poising their own general chances buy yeesh. Don't have any info on how many GOP are willing to vote for someone like that over a challenger, but if he can still edge out on republicans, man.The race for the Republican nomination for Maricopa County Sheriff remains tight, with Jerry Sheridan holding a very slim lead over Joe Arpaio.
A late one from @jonshorman and I: A 19-year-old restaurant dishwasher condemned by Kansas Democrats for saying he'd get a laugh if a former GOP lawmaker got COVID and died, is holding to a one-vote lead over an established Democrat from Wyandotte County.
Jessica Cooper, the punitive prosecutor of Oakland County (Michigan second biggest jurisdiction), has been OUSTED in the Democratic primary by Karen McDonald, who campaigned on criminal justice reform & decreasing incarceration.
A lot always going on during primaries. Just like... idk, a lot.

"My past comments were absolutely inappropriate … my heart was right but my words were wrong," Coleman said in an interview Tuesday night.
I think it says more about Kamala that she chose to endorse someone who voted to keep gerrymandering so they could keep powerSo people who endorse Primary losers should not advance in roles in government? Good to know when AOC runs for Senator.

KS senate is actually still lean R.Sigh, wanted Kobach to win so Dems could add KS Sen to their column.
But on the other hand I'm happy he's more or less out of politics now.

A nice little surprise consequence.
It's ingrained in them because of capitalism. It's all about marketing, making money, and ripping off rubes.

ABC said:The ad campaign also includes specific elements targeting key constituencies the campaign sees critical to winning in November, including Black, Latino and Asian American Pacific Islander voters, the campaign said.
Senior Advisor Symone Sanders noted that the first African American and Latino ad buys began in early June, saying that the Biden campaign is targeting communities of color early.
"Oftentimes we hear so much how campaigns wait until six to eight weeks out from Election Day to start communicating to African American, Latino voters, but we have been clear that African American and Latino voters are key parts of our general election strategy," Sanders told reporters.
ABC said:Additionally, the campaign plans on targeting podcasts and digital audio, online gaming, as well as sports content.
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to spread across the country, raising concerns about in-person voting, the media buy also features a voter education campaign aimed at raising awareness about voting options ahead of the November election. The seven-figure investment, according to the campaign, is likely to begin earlier than traditional mobilization efforts.
"People who have never considered voting anywhere other than at their polling place on Election Day — including substantial parts of the Biden base that have been hardest hit by COVID-19, like communities of color — are now coming to terms with the fact that their ability to participate in this fall's election will be affected by COVID-19," Dillon wrote in a memo outlining the strategy, arguing the campaign would "ensure our supporters know the options available to them when it comes to making their vote count."

The GOP in 2020: Mitt Romney's PAC maxed out to the campaign of an old friend of his running in TN's Senate GOP primary. The candidate - who is endorsed by Trump - quietly returned the donation in full.
🙄The increasingly toxic primary, in a state once known for its genteel politics,
I didnt lose because I DIDNT TRY. If I tried I wouldve won, beleive it.This is just the appetizer for the epic whine-fests of the post-election but pre-inauguration period.
Mr. Sethi — an Indian-American, Harvard-educated orthopedic trauma surgeon at Vanderbilt University Medical Center — is hoping his own appeals to Mr. Trump's agenda appear more convincing. In an interview, Mr. Sethi, 42, said he applauded the president's ideas for "meaningful immigration reform," including building a wall along the Mexican border, and he praised his performance during the pandemic, adding that, as a physician, his main advice to the president would be to fire Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the government's leading expert on infectious diseases.
And while Mr. Sethi offers masks at his events, he said he did not believe it was the role of the government to mandate that people wear them.
The thing is, even if they wanted to, they couldn't. GOP voters are addicted to the dopamine they get whenever Trump "owns" the libs. Whoever best can accomplish that is who they will vote for in elections.Yeah. The GOP isn't going to circle around Romney if Trump loses. I don't think the Lincoln Project will be successful in reigning in the crazy.

As some members of the task force tried to stress the dire nature of the situation to the president during the meeting, the source said Trump repeatedly attempted to change the subject. "He starts talking about something else," the source said.
