(20,763 posts)The only reason this wackadoodle even got on the ballot is no other GOP hopeful was optimistic enough to even try.
But yeah, if there are MAGAts in the district, he'll collar a few votes.
It's what they do.
resignedly,

(70,144 posts)some of my dfa friends worked that district a few cycles back, when obama was in the wh. they were working for a challenger to lipinski.
they had people who told them, total strangers at the door, that they were lifetime dems, but didnt like "that n****r in the wh".
it is a mostly lily white area, and those dont happen by accident in chi.
real catholic stronghold, too.
the primary is where the race is, but if the challenger wins, i suspect this whackjob will get too many votes.

(21,646 posts)white area enclaves but I still do not see them going repug or even the old Eastern European Dems catholic crowd that has heard of nazis in their own history .
If he is not main stream and nazi so he will not even get Tony Pieracas repub crowd in that base to help what's ever left of that imo .
While I would like to see lipinski go yesterday, but yes, there is enough conservative Dems to keep him in ( also his name is lipinski don't think that doesn't matter)
and I guess that's better in congress than any trump voting R but lipinski is not our Dem best in the area
I think his opponent has a chance Hope !
