She has been on their side of every issue that matters. Even when she could get political cover by taking a stand on a vote that would still go the gop's way, she stands with them. And on close issues, she locks arms and never lets go.

She is the perfect senate soldier for moscow mitch.

she's a political animal and yet she learned nothing from her Obamacare vote and the positive reaction she received from her constituents...and where she could have been something a positive role model for young women she falls into line every time Mitch gives her the "stink eye"...she deserves the Lincoln Project drubbing and a resounding defeat in November...

It's disgusting, but republicans have actually adopted the idea that russia and nk are NOT our enemy, and that only china is. Of course china is an adversary. For at least 20 years I have been hearing that china is an existential threat to the us and is actively stealing our secrets - both commercial and intel. Russia has held that status for much, much, longer, but republicans I know are actually saying it isn't so - that russia is too weak and too splintered to do any real harm; nor do they want to. say what?

So if they attack mitch, it shouldn't be directly on his ties to russian interests - though that would be good to throw in.

I'm hoping they have a doozey lined up.

I'm thinking them showing how his votes have been against his people - would be better than Moscow Mitch.

But - At the end of the day? They will nail it -I trust they will identify the right message and nail his ass.

We're going to do our best to replace the spine of oatmeal Susan Collins with Sara Gideon this year. It looks good so far, but we don't want to catch a case of Dewey-itis.

They are taking in far more money than they are spending. They have a yuge bankroll and they are not our allies - except in opposition to trump.

If trump falls before the election, they will gladly swing their guns on us in a heartbeat. I'm not going to describe how they would do it, but lets just say they will paint our candidates in trump colors and say theirs are pure. "We told you the truth about Trump, now we are telling you the truth about..."

Don't support them financially. You are only giving them money that will eventually be used against us.

Just saying.

Then she can be “very concerned” about something different than what she’s going to pay lip service to, while not doing anything to help needy families.

That unlimited money from McConnell may or may not help her. I don't know..If she loses, then if we win Arizona. then we need just one more (?) to take over the Senate. Who will that be?...My guess. Montana & maybe Iowa..Maybe South Carolina...maybe(?)
