Kansas is not as ruby red as you think it is plus the Dem candidate was a registered Republican before announcing his candidacy. Still a Dem who will vote with Dems, but he’s positioned himself as middle-of-the-road.

Same reason why Collins has served Maine for so long.

Polymarkets said the dems would win Guam by a decent margin.

No really about diesel. This goes back to tariffs. Farmers in states like Kansas and Iowa want to be able to sell to China. Just the way it is. They need that market.

This is what they are pissed about. Pissed enough not to vote.

Maybe that

Perpetual inflation + decisions that lead to rising interest rates after campaigning on cutting rates + war after campaigning on no wars + high gas prices + the housing market the shakiest it’s been in 20+ years = this

That’s not meant to be a political statement or snarky at all..trust me I voted R today and have all my life…. It’s just what happens when this is occurring when leading up to an election…results matter a lot more compared to what you say…especially when it’s said loudly and boisterous.

I hope to goodness the D’s don’t get control of the Senate….but this is just the pendulum swinging back and forth every 2-4 years. It’s just the cycle and always will be.

One of the first rules of sports betting is never bet on your own team. Too much bias and emotion involved. This rule definitely would apply to betting on politics, I'd imagine.

Got little in return? The Republican Party isn’t the party of welfare. It’s the only thing keeping the country from importing millions of the third world each month.

Our country is incredibly selfish. Conservatives conserve the current culture, not drastically change it.

Wait, the farmers are dumb enough to think that the democrats (the party that wants to cripple fossil fuels) are the better option?

In Kansas Sen Roger Marshall is as bad a candidate as Paxton. Democrats are running a former registered Republican pastor from a mega church. His church has over 20,000 members. Marshall has pissed off a lot of Republican statewide elected officials. (I’m not sure why)

Marshall didn’t really start campaigning until September. He has terrible commercials on TV. Hamilton has had ads on streaming services since June. Hamilton ads are good and effective.

Marshall
1. He is a retired doctor that has lives in Florida

2. His practice sued patients and had some arrested for not paying bills. Some of bills were for less than $100, a few didn’t know they had a bill, a few had new phones, and a few had moved and were not getting notices. One woman that was arrested was 8 months pregnant and with her 2 year old

3. Kansas farmers depend on diesel and gas for farming. He said something controversial about it that really upset farmers, I don’t know what it was.

4. Tariffs have hurt a lot of farmers

5. Campaign ads that were easily proven false

6. The Epstein files are a big deal in Kansas.

7. Because of Wichita, Lawrence, and the KC metro. Kansas is a moderate Republican state not ruby red. They have a governor that is a Democrat.

8. Former statewide Republican elected officials disagree with Marshall on a lot of his voting record and they probably want to run as a moderate Republican in the future

They started the invasion of the southern border. A conflict that is far more significant for this country.

We got the same from Mike Collins here in Georgia. I asked the question "where is Mike Collins? When will we see him?" The answer I was told was "Labor Day".

Because its a money bet on a result picked by ordinary people making $2 bets and then leaving the table.

Plus its an ongoing poll as opposed to polls posted by the media from Analytics Firms.

That is a great chart. It also shows that Democrats effectively started slowing down immigration pretty dramatically in the back half of 2024 because they knew it was going to get them clobbered in November. They could have shut it down anytime they wanted. Absolutely horrible.

Also, place the names of Haley and DeSantis over the red bars and they would have the same result. Any republican winner was going to shut that shite down butt cold.

The biggest question is why are you dumb enough to think Polymarket has anything to do with this?

He's United Methodist minister but most people don't know the UMC has gone completely woke and trans. They have drag queen shows at his church. It's satanic. IMO UMC will not exist is 10 years.
