Nina ‘bowl of shit’ Turner just can’t stop her compulsion to slander and smear good Democrats.

fundraising. She can dupe her "supporters" and pull in millions, and who knows where all the money actually goes. That being said, I am so glad that Rep. Shontel is going back to Congress to work with our wonderful POTUS.

If they can’t get the message after all these losses, it’s just about trolling. I’m sure the sour grapes will be lined up to deposit money for Nina the lobbyist.

I think the real takeaway from yesterday's primary is that Dems had HALF as many votes as repukes in the Senate race (+/- 500k - 1m).

Let's hope to hell something brings them out in November or it's going to be one hell of a shit show.

While the Republican primary was a competitive one.

But , It's still mostly a republican state so we need to do all we can to get voters out in November.

as well as a foregone conclusion on the Dem side. One can hope, and really expect, some of those voting on the GQP ballot were Dems trying to stop Vance. How many is certainly debateable. That said, we definitely need to get good turnout in November.

I saw that term on another site and thought it summed up the situation perfectly. Kudos go to the term originator. 👍

to the important term they hide behind.

Shontel also won because she's a genuinely progressive liberal and doing a good job for her constituents.
