As I've said since his first term, the one big thing we have going for us is he's a complete idiot and surrounds himself with idiots. No "handlers" this go around who have at least have some knowledge of how things actually work. Nope. Just the moron posse.

(24,986 posts)I'm sort of stunned they are bucking Trump and Braun/Beckwith on this. I expected them to heartily roll over for him. Not that I expect much from them.

(2,651 posts)I am very curious to see how tomorrow goes. Linda Rogers is the senator from my area and I can barely tell you what her challenger believes in other than he is endorsed by Trump and he is like Trump and will support President Trumps agenda. Also the negative attack ads against her calling her a RINO that doesnt support Trump. Its really sick that local politics has just devolved into do you support Trump or not. I guess that how Braun won, all his ads were were that he was endorsed by Trump nothing else.
