Definitely better than Schumer and Jeffries. It is the “in the machine” that gives me pause.
I think the other thing, which is definitely biased, is that my maga-ish father in law who is always watching fox news seemed to think he was the ideal choice. I guess that can either be a good he can bridge things, or a bad this is what maga actually wants for some reason…
Thanks for the correction. Still think we have some better senators coming in, albeit not that much experience yet…
I think I would rather it be someone like AOC.
Agreed, punishment should fit the crime. We have lately been pardoning people and sending a message that you can get away with things if you know the right people or have celebrity privilege, though. So time to get back to people not getting away with things.
Yeah, this is one of those times where the punishment is more to tell others “this is what happens when you do this BS. So don’t do this.”
I think it’s more of a, I’ve heard these names, those are your guys right?
Like he always says things like “Your boy, Gavin Newsom, blah blah blah”. When me and my wife have never cared for or shown any support for the guy. A lot of poking at Democrats he dislikes like that.
I think he also talked kindly of Mamdani, then essentially took it back when he realized was actually going to get elected. I usually get this sort of “this guy isn’t a threat to my politics so I’m okay with it, but if that changes then I won’t like them.”
I have however experienced exactly what you are talking about from a conservative friend who was all for Marco Rubio during presidential primaries, absolutely hated AOC for some reason, but would gladly vote for Bernie Sanders over Trump. I really don’t get his reasoning.
