What we really need is a set of domestic terrorism laws that will make this type of threat a felony. Not making firearms illegal, but making it illegal to extort or threaten someone with a gun to influence or coerce them. I have no problem with respectful and honest gun wielding citizens. I have a big problem with gun-crazy types who believe that waving guns around and threatening people with them is a valid or legal use of their lawful weapon. These types are hoodlums and should be charged with felonies. |
Mark Kelly is toast now that the Libertarian has dropped out. Welcome to Blake Masters, JD Vance, and Herschel Walker in the US Senate. |
The Libertarian not only dropped out, but also urged his supporters to vote for Masters. Small bump for Masters. |
It’s already so late for these kinds of endorsements. Ballots are printed, early voted already started. Unless someone is paying close attention, there’s so many low information “both sides” people who will throw away their vote on the Libertarian or Independent candidate. |
Kelly has a six point lead in a poll that didn’t even include the libertarian. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3712213-kelly-tops-masters-by-6-points-in-arizona-senate-race-poll/ |

New Fox News poll of Wisconsin: Senate: Johnson: 48% Barnes: 45% Undecided: 8% Governor: Michels: 48% Evers: 47% Undecided: 7% |
Betting markets quickly shrugged off the NYT polls when Nate Cohen tweeted the polls had significant R nonresponse rates. R now leads D by 7 points in Arizona on Election Betting Odds, with a push from the Libertarian withdrawal. NH now very competitive with St. Anselm poll today showing R with a 1 point lead. |
Of course. Blake Masters doesn't support Mitch McConnell, and Mitch would rather be in the minority where he is the leader, than to be in the majority with someone else as majority leader. He doesn't support candidates who he think vote how he tells them to vote, and prefers Senators who will vote his pro-corporate agenda. |
