nominee premature? do they risk repeating the mistakes of 2016, which is not taking candidates seriously? certainly, any celebration of that nature, at least, somewhat, premature. we know that republicans have the wind under back for this 2022 election. we know president biden s polling numbers are pretty low. it is likely that republicans will make significant gains this year. however, there is a great possibility that what happened to republicans in 2010 under a very similar environment, where republicans won a storied number of seats in the house, made gains in the senate, still, they nominated a number of candidates that year. that were so far out of the mainstream that even with those favorable, political conditions, they were not able to get across the pinot finish line. this is where mitch mcconnell
promising future to some republicans. he was the youngest member elected since 1965. and i guess he had the full support of donald trump. what could possibly go wrong? well, apparently everything. cawthorn lost his reelection bid this week, losing his primary bid to state senator chuck edwards. cawthorn was mired in scandal for months. but strangely enough, it wasn t cawthorn visiting adolf hitler s vacation home and calling it a bucket list trip, that shook the gop support of him. nor was it his history of racism, lack of regret after speaking at the rally before the january 6th riot, voting to overturn the election, calling volodymyr zelenskyy a thug, or even spreading the big lie that push republicans to spurn cawthorn. it wasn t any of those. believe it or not, it was only after cawthorn claim that his colleagues engaged in coca fueled orgies that the gop each finally said, yeah that s enough for us. let s bring back our panel to
up supporting him. there seems to be some indication that that might happen. that would be a bad thing. i agree with carlos that the democrats cannot rest assured that he is so far out of the mainstream that he would automatically lose. i think they have to take him very seriously and run a very strong campaign against him. i am the most worried about his election denial and his power to appoint the secretary of state. because he secretary of state is the one who could overturn the will of the people. the republicans have been working on this now in the last election, and they have learned a lot. i am hoping that congress could pass some legislation that would make it clear and prevent this kind of thing from actually being legal and happening. but, right now, someone could overturn the election and just
i mean, who does that? but listen, we ve got something done. we ve got to make sure they were on the set of circumstances ever again. yeah, you took the words out of my mouth. carlos, as i noted, house democrats move to address the situation this week. seeking in part to provide the fda with millions in aid so they can attack the shortage. they weren t supplied by the gop. why is that? why does it seem the republicans are willing to claim to be the party of pro-life, but not help those in need when they need it? amen, i have a bit of a different take on this. i actually think the legislation democrats brought forth would do little if anything at all to address this crisis. in fact throwing money at the fda, when the fda is and at least part responsible for the shortage, really doesn t seem to be the solution. and on top of that, i think we ve thrown around enough money in this country, to the
