@TylerDinucci he’s got to be losing right? get ready for two hours of noun verb and trans/Islam

[Rick Masters @nedflinders]

@EricKrupke @JHWeissmann completely unserious

[Rick Masters @nedflinders]

@BostonSportsHb @NateSilver538 I think they’d just run a normal person like Conor Lamb and he’d win big

@MattZeitlin Furio Giunta thought

@BenWeav06231174 @daveweigel the flip side: AES wins, eeks out a win over Rogers while getting dragged across the finish line by a favorable national environment, drastically underperforms Talarico, Brown, Peltola, Cooper etc., and we get two years of tedious write ups declaring leftism the one true path

[Rick Masters @nedflinders]

@TylerDinucci Josh Barro had it right all along: the real meaning of the various Platner misdeeds was that he was a fuckup with poor executive function that would be a bad candidate or, if he got elected, a bad and unreliable senator

@NewJackConk @scumbag_unit we don’t and it makes it even more awesome because we got away with it

[Rick Masters @nedflinders]

@MattFinkes yeah they did, and then they won and they got away with it. eat shit

@jonathanchait @billscher Sean McElwee really was the originator of this strategy - the slogan bubbles up from the online left/shoddy push poll claims it’s popular among voters/filters up to Dem staff and electeds/real actual voters hate it cycle from 2019-2024

[Rick Masters @nedflinders]

@AJentleson it seems pretty clear that two separate things led to this: (1) Platner lied to a lot of people about a lot of things, and (2) his handlers were totally high on their own supply and too convinced of their own genius to think about what was good for their candidate as a person

[Rick Masters @nedflinders]

@BenjySarlin @NateSilver538 had this point but if the Maine Dems commit to organizing a write in campaign around a new candidate if he stays in, it also kills his leverage and at the very least turns the race into mutually assured destruction

[Rick Masters @nedflinders]

@jbarro referring to his campaign as a “movement” is such a giveaway

@daveweigel @KFILE in retrospect, Mills was also obviously uninterested and mailing it in. Why would her staff and vendors act any differently?

@ImNotOwned @SpecialPuppy1 both fight agency and Schumer on the verge of getting bailed out here
