@LinkofSunshine McConnells power in KY was always broad by brand (R) but shallow re influence. Nancy was broad + deep but having achieved her goals, being soft-toppled by AOC, opposing Joe's re-running, being in her 80s, grooming a successor rather than leaving it to the voters was not her style
@nikicaga Understand that Rs today are primarily conservative church attending maga and/or evangelical/ conservative catholic types. So they're gonna respond with the stock views. They answer Ideally, then excuse themselves by saying we all fall short.
@nikicaga Mainers are not anything if not practical. The goal is defeating Collins not cuz they dislike her but to blunt trump. Platner could be a grilled cheese sandwich and they'd vote for it to achieve their goal.
@LinkofSunshine I think Zohran's comptroller has to be on overload keeping up with him, closing a deficit and financing his pledges. Plus my experience in companies with comptrollers, much time is consumed with tasks not calendar-worthy. Probably your employer's comptroller would agree
@LinkofSunshine Trump has always been a bully's worldview so he failed to see in Russia v Ukraine that the bully can lose so he repeated putin's hubris in Iran. Plus trump was led by strongman bibi
@nikicaga Embarrassing and disgraceful. And every fuckin country will see no evil, hear no evil, let evil metastasize and utterly not a whimper of protest. World Cup is tarnished before it begins
@LinkofSunshine I've been to Côte d'Ivoire. The citizens pride themselves in using the French. Rather petulant to impose one's prickly preferences on the actual citizens I think.
