Ginsburg Getting worse

[hamster]

Particularly in the house, incumbents win most if the time because opponents cannot get the name recognition and its harder to raise money against someone already entrenched with the local power mongers...

Thus you have Pelosi types that know they realistically are never losing so they can afford to run far right or far left on extremist nonsense... its more likely that a congressional district is more uniform in opinion and culture than a whole state... they all know what their area wants to hear and they act on it all the time

True, but Nancy Pelosi's value is in her ability to fund raise. If you want some cash for your re-election campaign, you better be voting for her Speaker bids.

The deep state must not like Ted Kennedy...he went down hard with the cancers.

Mary Jo Kopechne was unavailable for comment.

Did you know Ginsburg's SC confirmation vote ended with a 96-3 in favor? 96-3. Contrast that to the shitshow we just watched with Kav. Still believe that the repubs are an alternative to the dims?

 

[Steelr4evr]

She really should step down to focus on her health. I'm sure whatever fine non commie pinko we nominate the left will make up something about them smacking puppies when they where in diapers.

 

[MTC]

Didn't help Kennedy much either. He died within a year of being diagnosed.

This is a conspiracy now


That whole Kennedy family was cursed

I really can't fathom the need for people to remain in politics past 70 years old, let alone 80. What's the point ?

nowadays it seems that senility is a prerequisite.

Cockran and McCain are out of the Senate. Hatch won't be in the new congress.

I actually agreed with something Cortez said. She said congres shouldn't get paid during a shutdown.

Some of Congress are depending on that check to pay the rent.
