Evidently their constituents like them. Maybe a better question is how do they get their appointments like they do once they get re-elected.

The vast majority of people aren’t paying attention.

Ill-informed voters. No one goes outside their comfort zone!

It’s why they had to get rid of Charlie Kirk.

Republican voters largely aren’t any different than democrat voters in this way. They see R and maybe have some familiarity with the name and vote.

From what I’ve seen if you get a seat in congress you’re pretty safe as they won’t ever pass term limits, they get to go to the leader for campaign money, and they’re likely bought off by someone to get there that no one else has access to compete.

I don’t think a MAGA candidate has legitimately lost ever. In any state, in any race.

They see a polished well dressed man and go crazy just like theyve seen AOC’s titties

It’s actually been interesting to finally see this primary season big dogs on each party get primaried and chewed up.

We’ll have to wait and see if they’re any better than who they replaced.

Tillis would have been primaried. He's done.
Until McConnell stepped down, Thune hid behind his hoopskirt.

Go to your county or state GOP meetings and you will quickly understand.

We know they will be just as worthless.

In the case of Tillis, NC is a purple state so it’s tough to get a strong conservative there. It looks like the next senator replacing him will be a Democrat. In the case of Thune it may simply be name recognition and his ability to “bring home the bacon”.

You only lose if you admit you lost.

I watched the Joe Rogan show with Billy Bob Thornton. He would be a decent pick

He said I always take time to talk to folks when they approach me, hell they put my kids through school with their support, why wouldnt I.

The other day I see a fella lookin at me so I walk over to him and said "I know what you are thinkin, how did an ugly sob like me get to marry Angelina Jolie, hell buddy I ask myself that same question".

You should mostly worry about this if you are a resident of North Carolina or South Dakota. But if you aren't, it is time to find and support the next generation of politicians. That means primary'ing these guys and elect someone better. The democrats are doing it. They need to be primary'd and voted out. Just like Cassidy and Cornyn.
