I’ve enjoyed the recent Pennsylvania ad that calls Dr. Oz a RINO. It’s of such poor cinematic quality that it makes Blair Witch Project look like Stagecoach.
This Mcormick guy I hadn’t heard of before a few months ago. I see he was West Point & 9 years Army (Ranger school/82nd Airbone/1st Gulf War).
Under secretary in Commerce & Treasury Depts in Bush admin.
In the private sector rose to CEO of software services company & world’s largest hedge fund.

Slew of conks running. Seeing recent sources saying for the conk seat likely come down to McCormick and Dr Oz. Each has major conk emdorsements. BP endorsement is a huge get for McCormick. May come down to who Trump endorses..

And of course this PA race will be crucial to conks getting control of Senate..

Apparently a 30 second version of this ran during the Super Bowl in AZ. This is the min+ director’s cut. I bet the left is already getting their knickers in a bunch claiming its promoting violence..

Being that she’s running in a solid conk district in OK, and the below:
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/democr ... -party.amp
Her chances are slim to none of winning in Nov. In the 2020 OK Senate race she was crushed by Inhofe by 30 points, not winning a single county. But if this former news reporter somehow did win, she would maybe give AOC a run for her money for hottest member of Congress.

Meh, she is only about a 6. AOC is about a the same, maybe a 6.5. I say that even though every time she starts talking, her teeth/jawline reminds me of a horse eating hay and it is hard for me to unsee that (we had some horses growing up and as part of my chores, I had to feed the little hay burners). Compared to Abrams or Pelosi she is an angel though.

Lauren Boebert from CO is much better looking.

Cringe. Non-tough guy trying to be a tough guy.

Boebert won by 6 points in '20. Will probably win bigger given the disaster donks have been since then.

The poll that I think is going to show up as something you can scroll through at the bottom of this post is a plus for you guys who think the Republicans are going to do well with hispanics:

As you may recall, I look at the ABC News, Washington Post poll as the best one overall based on 538's pollster ratings and metrics. My own efforts to look at how it's performed historically are consistent with what I see at 538.

Anyway, in answer to this question:
Would you rather see the next Congress controlled by the (Republicans, to act as a check on Biden), or controlled by the (Democrats, to support Biden’s agenda)?
Only 43% of Hispanic respondents said they would rather see Congress controlled by Democrats vs. 42% who said they'd rather see it controlled by Republicans. I do wish they'd have left the language on acting as a check on vs. supporting Biden out of the question as I think that could influence responses. But it's still good news for Republicans.

Meanwhile, more educated people continue to favor Democrats. By 49% to 43% respondents with college degrees would prefer Democrats in control and among post grads it's 52% to 43%. More evidence that we should make a rule where only people with at least a college degree should be able to vote.

I wish I could just post a link to the poll because if you go to the actual page you can read it better. But below is what happens when I post the link here.

So that noted “conservative” Constitutional scholar JohnStOoge wants a “rule” limiting the electorate to people with “at least” college degrees. :lol:

What happens in November will be the direct result of the Dems getting their policy from the mentally ill purple haired harpies with 11 nose rings off TikTok instead of actually listening to the concerns of the American people.

I'd never really do it. But at this time in history we'd be better off. Actually, looking at polling, we'd be best off if only people with graduate degrees could vote. And I don't think only allowing the most educated and/or intelligent people vote sounds that bad.

It's not looking good. But I'd say it's a positive reflection on you when the most educated people say they are going to vote for you by 53% to 37%.

If you want to see how people say they'll vote click on the Registered Voters tab at the bottom.

One breakdown I find interesting is the one by income. Looks like the middle class says it'll vote Democrat while both the low income and higher income groups say they'll vote Republican. The <$50K group said 48% Republican vs. 39% Democrat. The >$100K group said 56% Republican vs. 37% Democrat. But the middle group, $50K through $100K, said 49% Democrat vs. 45% Republican.

While disappointing, it's not a surprise to see the upper income group favor Republicans. But the lower income group is not something I would have expected. Biden and the Democrats have given out a LOT to lower income people. Yes I know there has been inflation but I think lower income people came out ahead in spite of that with the generous handouts, child tax credits, etc. And they're much more likely to get stuff like that with Democrats in control. Interesting.

2022 is going to be a bloodbath for Donks. As is 2024. Might as well get used to that concept. Stalwart multi-decade BLUE counties full of Hispanics in South Texas are red-pilling in record numbers.

Obviously not. I voted against Trump both times. It's the people who voted FOR Trump you need to worry about. And that was largely White people without college degrees and/or White fundamentalist Christians.
