There's plenty of manipulation even without the Russians. Registration requirements that are more arduous than they need to be. Polling times that are difficult for the working class. Polling locations that cater to the affluent.

I have a hard time seeing them getting the 4th. Could be the Georgia seats or the North Carolina seat, I guess.

And this is why my political commentary is confined to anonymous message boards.

Yup, one for two years and one for six. Stacey Abrams has already said that she isn’t running for either.

Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson of Georgia to resign from the Senate at the end of 2019: https://twitter.com/rollcall/status/1166723406215221248?s=21

That’s not the seat that’s already up for grabs next year - it’s the other one.

Great! She’s vulnerable and he joins a strong group of Democratic challengers.


are you in iowa? I am - and the field is pathetic. I like kim graham but lets be honest - i've met all three candidates and they are milquetoast. joni unfortunately will destroy them all.

hope the rear admiral is better.

DSCC already has already thrown their weight behind Greenfield though.


Joni Ernst is having a lot of trouble with her messy personal life (divorce/allegations of adultery) and people in Iowa being fed up with her lockstep Trump support. No one in Iowa really cares who the DSCC endorses, and if a candidate gains momentum, the DSCC will fall in line.
