@ettingermentum Not saying it can't work but she won her election by being the most middle of the road 3rd preference candidate possible which doesn't translate quite the same. I'm also a bit skeptical she would abandon the governor's race since that's such a layup
@ettingermentum Jackson and Shah were pretty viscous towards each other near the end and Bellows got the most negative attention from right wing groups because they think she stole elections while Pingree skated by. Idk if that sticks and anecdotally even people who approve of her are lukewarm
@ettingermentum He narrowly finished 3rd just ahead of Bellows which basically gave the race to Pingree who was a clear 3rd in their 3 candidate progressive alliance
@AnthonyMEmerson@ME_Politics_@KingRicci Bellows is also 2nd district I believe and also comes from a working class background but Troy feels like the safer pick if he uses the Graham campaign infrastructure
@daysduringnal@TJStats No one is getting in that doesn't deserve it besides Vlad the new voting system is designed to prevent a Royals situation. Everyone that loses their matchup is going to get replaced by whoever the actual back up should be (except 1b which is a travesty) plus Cease and Varland
@daysduringnal@TJStats Blue Jays fans hate Vlad more than any other fan base atp as evidenced by the majority of his voters not even being Blue Jays fans
@JohnnyGiunta_ I wouldn't even care that much if his defense was still elite but instead he's regressed to being Nathan Lukes with a pool noodle instead of a cannon
@PurpyNFL It's so easy to set an alarm for whatever time you have to start getting ready or whenever you have to leave even if you're a forgetful person
@StlllWest How would you feel about a potential buy/sell deadline if the team is still hanging around the 3rd wildcard but under 500? Something like shopping Gaus/Springer and going after controllable Detmers types?
@varshos_glove My favorite part is that if they just put Valenzuela on the ballot it wouldn't be that absurd but instead it's Kirk seemingly to just demoralize people
@daysduringnal They turned it around the second he left in terms of both rankings and immediate production. His last couple drafts weren't terrible but in his first 7 drafts or so I think Manoah was the only drafted player to have positive war or some crazy stat
