Trump keeping up as much scary brown people talk as he can muster before the elections. More anecdotal check-ins from my district. (Again Likely-R district. It flipping would be upper end blue tsunami stuff but not impossible though on 538 it snapped back closer to Solid R recently and actually is on the Deluxe Model albeit just barely) Way more R ads than D (on TV at least. Or at least from what channels are on that I'm overhearing when I'm near one. D ads seemed to me more frequent about a month ago or so. R ads definitely ramped up the past few weeks) D ads are almost entirely 100% healthcare. The only reason I'm not saying 100% is I remember one a while back that was healthcare but also included gun violence. R ads there are two that are getting the most play. Don't know the exact split but it feels like 2-to-1 with the 2 being Immigration (MS-13, SANCTUARY CITIES) and the 1 being Health Care (which makes me laugh a bit because it's "so socialist it'll give illegal immigrants healthcare" complete with a slo-mo scare clip of the D saying "medicare for all" and WILL DOUBLE YOUR TAXES) could have sworn i heard a 3rd ad in passing but only the one time, it may have been a PAC, and since i've never heard it again i'm starting to think maybe it was an illusion or i misheard something from another race (ad market here causes a bunch of races to have their ads play here) --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ...

I mean by that logic red has also supported the plight of immigrants by voting for Clinton, so he's done just as much as Ulti if the only requirement for supporting a cause is "voting".
The argument of "you refuse to give up everything so clearly you are a fake supporter of a cause" is inherently disingenuous by nature though. --- Moops? "I thought you were making up diseases? That's spontaneous dental hydroplosion." ... Copied to Clipboard!

There was an ad for the Republican for Illinois AG that was basically "hey Rauner is toast you should vote for me so democrats don't have both the AG and the governorship". Rauner had been running a ton of attack ads but stopped a couple weeks ago so I'm thinking they might have just quit on that race entirely.

Okay, so there's this story that's been quietly(?) breaking today that just took the most ridiculous turn.
The story: https://www.theatlantic.com/amp/article/574411 The Special Counsel's Office has referred to the FBI an alleged scheme by a right wing lobbyist and conspiracy theorist to pay women to make false allegations of sexual misconduct against Mueller. The article goes into detail about the scheme and some reporters were buzzing about how they had heard of it and were investigating and came to the same conclusion that it was a hoax. but then the twist It's referenced in the Atlantic article but this part was uncovered by NBC when they started digging into it: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/mueller-refers-sex-assault-scheme-targeting-him-fbi-inestigation-n926301 i will let this part speak for itself (Tweet from one of the reporters authoring the NBC story): https://twitter.com/oneunderscore__/status/1057351444905558016 Ben Collins on Twitter... A company called "Surefire Intelligence" has ties to this Mueller smear. Jacob Wohl denied having ties to Surefire. Surefire's official phone number redirects to a voicemail box registered to Jacob's mom. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ...

So you can't even do the cynical "oh he's trying to court moderates but doesn't mean it". He's going to win his seat and King is in a (suddenly, possibly) competitive race. And he didn't go soft with a "insensitive" or "troubling" label. He called it white supremacy, pure and simple.

With Steve King it really is a revolving door of hate so it could be any one of a number of things. He endorsed a literal white supremacist running for mayor of Toronto. He met with Austrian white nationalists. He told those people that diversity doesn't add anything and it causes harm.
