None of These Candidate Disqualifying Things Will Work.

They just won't. Unless the person actively participated in the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol, that person can say, "No, I wasn't involved," and they won't get disqualified.

However, in every case, it is potent campaign fodder for Democratic opponents. Put their photo on billboards and tell the truth about them. Quote them on those billboards from their statements encouraging the insurrectionists. That won't do a thing for the hard-core Trumpers, but it could influence others. Any candidate who doesn't use this stuff to fight against these GQP creeps will be missing a solid strategy.

1. Absolutely. I hope Marcus Flowers has archived all those clips from C-SPAN yesterday. I assume they'

I assume they’re in the public domain

2. This

MTG is in an R+45 district, but Democrats should use her lying, scatterbrained testimony in ads all over the country.

3. Democrats who run/campaign in R+ districts help GOTV statewide,

even if they don’t win in the district.

Every statewide constitutional office in Georgia (including the gubernatorial race), Senator Warnock’s senate seat, congressional races, plus all of our state senators and representatives are on the ballot in 2022.

As James Carville famously said regarding Democrats who run multiple losing campaigns before eventually winning elected office: “You’re a loser until you’re not.”

4. Absolutely. Use the crazy's in the marginal districts.

Ask the independent voter what they think government will look like with the Lunatics running the asylum.

5. I actually hope she is allowed to stay on the ballot ...

She'll still win, but anyone that wins that district will be just as bad.

In some cases it's better to have the issue that the victory.

6. Republicans say it's "undemocratic" their candidates could be prevented from running for office.

But, nothing says "democracy" like preventing people from voting.

7. These lawsuits are just another way to manipulate elections. Better than storming Capitol, but still

election manipulation.
