Ilhan Omar could also get fired on August 13. Given the district, I'm sure the primary opponent is also awful, but he has to be better than Omar.

Crazy af Cori bush could go down too. Currently, That’s a neck and neck race. No idea about the other candidate except he is a prosecutor and id think should at least be better than her.

Some good news for the country as a whole last night and gives some hope for the future...crazy progressives and trump backed candidates all mostly lost.

I've only read the headlines but it looks like a more moderate candidate also won in Colorado. Is there hope for our republic after all??

I'd like to be positive, but the glaring issue is that in November either Biden or Trump is going to win again.

It was mostly Republicans in Utah that went less Trumpy and more traditional GOP candidates. There's still a race in Virginia that's undecided - there's an ultra Trumpy candidate that's leading the primary by a nose, but a victory by him would also mean that Bob Good (head of the Freedom Caucus) would be out of a job by virtue of getting primaried.

As for Omar, she's survived primary challenges before, but her district is heavily Democratic enough that she's in little danger of winning a general election. I'd venture a guess that will be the same story for Cori Bush.

Jamaal Bowman tried running on a platform that was more Palestine-friendly than Israel-friendly and it cost him in his district.

So is there a chance Biden completely embarrasses himself tomorrow night and the Democrats are forced to push him aside for another candidate? Might be the best case scenario (depending on who they pick!).

So if Biden stumbles in a debate, but does a good job as a president, the Dems should replace him?

But..if Trump is a convicted felon, adjudged sexual abuser, fake university and charity head, guilty of financial fraud, under indictment for inciting an insurrection, under indictment for stealing government secrets, etc., the Repubs should keep him?

Bless your heart, Paul.

It’s a little be careful what you wish for moment for me. What if it’s Gavin or Kamala? I’ll deal with grandpa over those two
