    My second favorite horseshit that a republican has said.

    My first favorite is Mark Robinson who was recorded saying "Abortion in this country is not about protecting the lives of mothers. It is about killing the child because you weren’t responsible enough to keep your skirt down

    All they have to do is keep talking and this going to be an easy win for the democrats

      Democrats still have to offer something. Republicans have been saying loony shit forever.

          He promised a lot, including a $2000 covid check (of which he delivered $1400). And he barely scraped by one of the weakest incumbents in modern history. You’re not dead in the water with a “let them just say weird shit” strategy, it’s just not a very good one.

          The covid factor really can’t be understated, too. Hard to draw any firm conclusions from 2020 due to that.

      This is the exact opposite of what the Democrats need to do to win and is a huge factor in why Hillary got BTFO in 2016

      Turns out you can’t just sit back and let your opponent control the messaging on the off chance they say something that turns off a swing voter once in a while
