This is the opening that republicans have given democrats. They are running a bunch of clowns who could lose despite the fundamentals being strongly in your favor. Ohio should be a lock for republicans and it is not.

I’m still not hopeful for Ohio. That state keeps getting more red and without some serious mistakes by Vance I think it’s a super long shot.

Yeah they had amazing fundraising totals for Cal Cunningham and Amy McGrath and Sara Gideon and Beto O’rourke and Jaime Harrison too. They still lost.

If you don’t know there was something hinky about the way the Republicans in those races magically outstripped their polling, sometimes by double digits, you aren’t paying attention.

And it sure looks like people still don’t want the GOP’s specific brand of treason, corruption, pedophilia, misogyny and racism.

So you suggest the elections were fraudulent? Reminds me of one Cheeto Benito’s rantings.

Except my claims are grounded in fact. If people wanted to elect Republicans, would Democratic votes outnumber Republican ones (even diluted by gerrymandering)? If people wanted to elect Republicans, would they have to cheat seventy different ways? Would they have to do this?

When you don't have anything to run on, use the Race Card

When you’re a racist, attempt to reduce American history and using Rand Paul’s own voting record against him to “us[ing] the Race Card.”

That’s a powerful ad and powerful imagery at the end. When he says that lynching was used to kill his own ancestors it says it all. This isn’t some thousand-year old history, this is grandparents and great grandparents. And how many White Americans still have souvenirs of these lynchings in their attics? Because it was our ancestors who participated in burning people alive, cutting off their genitals and burning them with cigarettes. And pols like Rand Paul would welcome that history back.

Here’s Booker’s page of what he believes in. https://charlesbooker.org/we-believe/

He is lying about Rand Paul's record.
"The ad criticizes Paul for blocking anti-lynching legislation without saying Paul co-sponsored a new version of it." - AP

This ad is just horrible.

Not only are his claims blatantly false, his apparent need to push the race card is ridiculous. He comes across as desperate.

To change the subject from the fact that he blocked the last one.

Maybe. But Vance has never held office and parachuted in with money from Peter Thiel and some other venture capitalists. I can’t imagine he’ll be good at retail politics the way Tim Ryan is. Tim Ryan has a clear message. Vance is more like, vote for me because Trump endorsed me.

I’m a Booker supporter and am disappointed in this ad. There are So. Many. Reasons. To vote for Booker &
Against Paul. This is not one of them. Booker ran a better primary against McGrath.

A simple google search answers your question.

Paul previously held up an earlier version of the bill, arguing in 2020 that he wanted it "to be stronger."

In a statement on Tuesday in which he urged swift passage of the updated legislation, Paul said, "Strengthening the language of this bill has been my goal all along, and I'm pleased to have worked with Senators Cory Booker and Tim Scott to get this right and ensure the language of this bill defines lynching as the absolutely heinous crime that it is."
At the time Paul originally held up the anti-lynching bill in 2020, Senate supporters had hoped to pass the measure by unanimous consent in a show of widespread support. It only takes the objection of one senator out of 100, however, to stall a bill if it is brought up via unanimous consent.

Paul explained his position on the bill at the time by saying, in part, "I don't think it's a good idea to conflate someone who has an altercation, where they had minor bruises, with lynching. We think that's a disservice to those who were lynched in our history, who continue to have, we continue to have these problems. And I think it's a disservice to have a new 10-year penalty for people who have minor bruising. We've tried to exclude that part from the bill, and we've been working with the authors to try to make the bill better."

And Fetterman's doctor released this note: Why would Fetterman want him to do this? His doctor didn't need to say anything because...HIPAA.

His physician, Ramesh R. Chandra, released a scolding note saying that when Mr. Fetterman was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and a decreased heart pump in 2017, he was prescribed medicine, lifestyle changes and follow-up appointments, but that he “did not go to any doctor for five years and did not continue taking his medications.”

Probably for the sake of appearing transparent? Also so he can say that he was ignoring his health before, but now he's not - and one of his big aims is to make sure all Pennsylvanians have access to good medical care so they don't have to go without treatment either.
