Oh, more of this. Not only is it a screenshot of a text message, but look at the surrounding border. That isn't even text message software anymore, it looks like a desktop background of some sort.

Manchin is out there doing the Lord's work for being a vote against McConnell for Senate Majority Leader despite being in an R+576 state (and hence one less seat needed to send McConnell into the minority). For that alone he can't really be last on any such power rankings.

I really wish every single democrat senator running this term lead with this over and over again.

"You aren't voting for Susan Collins. You are voting for Mitch McConnell. No matter how moderate she portrays herself, no matter how bipartisan she promises to be, she is a vote for Mitch McConnell as senate majority leader. The man who stole a supreme court seat, the man who wants to take your healthcare away, the man who x,y,z other bad thing".

It doesn't matter how inocuous you believe this moderate republican to be. There are no good republican senators if it means more power for Mitch McConnell.

To me, that means McConnell has given up on not only Trump, but people like Collins and Tillis as well.

Why would you ever torpedo something that popular that gives your party a much needed boost unless you are resigned to losing and just hoping to do better as the resistance party in 2022?

I think it's obvious McConnell's play is to get a head start on blocking any meaningful relief in the hopes to strangle any hopes of a recovery for a potential Biden administration to set up for 2022 and 2024 as "THE WEAKEST RECOVERY!!!" like they pulled with Obama with the Great Recession.

If Republicans hold the Senate it might even work because people are so damn dumb. If not it's the easiest excuse to kill the filibuster one could imagine if they try to obstruct COVID relief.

That article is out of context. He never says he won't put an agreed bill up for vote. He says they are putting up the skinnier bill up on the floor (cuz they are cuz the other bill isn't done).

Eh.

She's most likely cancelling her events because she's worried she might have COVID, and is presumably waiting for her test results.

I think "Kamala might have COVID" is a reasonable thing to say that is not really in the realm of conspiracy theory. There's no coverup or anything, she probably doesn't know herself yet.

Conspiracies involve a large number of people conspiring to keep the truth from the people. Conspiracies are stuff like this:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/big-tobacco-kept-cancer-risk-in-cigarettes-secret-study/

Where the public is lied to by a significant authority figure over a long period of time. Conspiracy theories are theories that assume a conspiracy.

There's just no conspiracy about "Kamala Harris cancelled her schedule cause she thinks she might have COVID".

Conspiracy would be like "Kamala Harris secretly already tested positive for COVID, but isn't going to tell us the test result".

"Republican/Leaning Biden"

Yeah...this is exactly the kind of person I've been so afraid of, and why I think the polls are somewhat misleading (I think Trump is likely to lose at this point, but it's not certain).

Anyway, to get to the point, there is zero chance this lady is actually leaning Biden. This is a Trump voter, 100%.

I would say Tony's statement is TECHNICALLY a conspiracy theory, in that we have no real proof of its veracity. BUT, there's no reason to label it as a conspiracy theory, because it's not like some absurd situation that requires that label, and calling it a conspiracy theory is needlessly combative.

From the little I saw they were short and unsubstantial. Trump was exactly what you'd expect, Biden was also Biden.

Nothing thats going to move the needle for anyone.

Which at this point continues to be a win for Biden.

If Dems win that Iowa seat, it is gonna be a good night for them (even though it is in toss-up position right now).

Also, I did not see how much Georgia's special election had shifted. It was 81% likely a Republican was going to win the seat, but suddenly the odds have turned it into a coinflip.

I mean, we're starting to talk 52-53 seats here.

The one person said their new projection is +7 Dems.

Here is what we know. Dems need a +3 to gain the Senate with the WH.

Alabama is a lock for Repubs.
Arizona is a lock for Dem.
Colorado is a lock for Dem.
North Carolina is a lock for Dem.

Then we get all the tossups.

Iowa, Georgia, Maine, South Carolina, Alaska, Georgia Special, Montana.

The toss ups will VERY likely go in the direction of the Presidential vote.

Meaning Iowa, South Carolina, Montana will likely all end up red.

Maine will likely go blue.

The Georgia regular is a toss up. Alaska is likely red but we lack some polling there. The Georgia Special will not matter on the Presidential vote ultimately.

So the Senate is likely a wrap for the Dems. With potential to pick up a few stragglers.

SC, Montana, and Georgia are definitely not toss-ups. Hell, there's better odds of flipping Kansas than South Carolina. But in all three of those states, the GOP has at least a 2 in 3 chance of keeping those seats. At the same time, Maine is moving solidly into blue territory, as Gideon climbed into having a 63% chance of taking the seat, which is roughly the same odds as Cunningham taking the NC seat. The only seats I have as absolute locks are Kelly in Arizona and Hickenlooper in Colorado.
