Four years is a long time, though. Better to strike when the iron is hot when your stock is highest, rather than wait for an ideal environment that may never come (particularly if you think that NV is trending bluer). Almost always compete for an open seat than challenge an incumbent, too.

I mean, hope Heller sticks in! But we'll see.



Wait, what?

Podesta is a great, interesting guest to have on. And he's never been on the show before, as far as I can remember.

Like how has the GOP not figured out it doesn't matter how loyal you are to Trump, once the wind changes direction he'll toss even his most loyal people away

Preibus has nobody defending him, don't expect any outrage if he's fired/quits.

I'd think he has the same loyalists as Comey did, in that there aren't any high profile ones, just rank and file employees who could be trouble. Surely the RNC is packed with people who like Preibus and could start getting rowdy at his firing?

AVR works.

https://www.thenation.com/article/how-oregon-increased-voter-turnout-more-than-any-other-state/

In 2016, 288,516 people registered to vote for the first time in Oregon. Of individuals registering for the first time, 186,050—or 66 percent—were registered via the AVR program. An additional 35,000 Oregon residents whose registration had lapsed were reregistered through AVR. Given these figures, it is not unreasonable to conclude that without AVR, 220,000 fewer citizens likely would have had the opportunity to vote in the 2016 elections.

Did people registered by AVR turn out to vote? Of the individuals who were registered for the first time through Oregon’s new program, a significant portion—67,902, or 36 percent—voted in 2016. In our view, AVR has been successful in mobilizing many new Oregonians to participate in the election who may not have voted without this program being in place.

Critics will find difficulty arguing against the Oregon AVR’s healthy turnout impacts. Turnout in Oregon increased more between 2012 and 2016 than in any other state. Overall voter turnout in the state reached 68 percent in the 2016 presidential election, up from 64 percent during the 2012 non-AVR election period. Nationally, voter turnout increased by only 1.6 points. This stands out for two reasons. First, Oregon already held perennial status as one of the top voter-participation states in the country. Second, in a non-swing state that didn’t feature a competitive Senate race, the 2016 presidential candidates invested zero television or radio advertisement dollars during the critical final two-and-a-half weeks leading up to Election Day. We estimate that AVR accounted for at least 38 percent of individuals who registered in 2016 and voted.

AVR also helped increase the diversity of Oregon’s electorate. Oregon’s citizen voting-age population is 84 percent white, but its voting electorate is 94 percent white. By comparison, 89 percent of the new AVR voters (individuals who were registered using AVR and had no record of voting going back to 2008) were white. Fourteen percent of those who were registered automatically were people of color, roughly equal to the share of the Oregon’s minority population (16 percent). While 3 percent of non-AVR voters were Latino, 7 percent of new AVR voters and 9 percent of AVR registrants were. Less than 2 percent of the non-AVR voters were Asian, compared to 4 percent of AVR registrants and 3 percent of AVR voters.

AVR also brought in more young and low-income voters. Only 13 percent of non-AVR voters were between the ages of 18 and 29, compared to 37 percent of new AVR voters. And 39 percent of new AVR voters lived in Census Blocks with a median income below $45,000 compared to 34 percent of non-AVR voters. Twenty-six percent of new AVR voters lived in neighborhoods with a median income over $60,000, compared with 31 percent of non-AVR voters.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
I'm honestly fascinated by what happens if he drops Sessions. This seems like it might actually, finally be something that pisses off his base. Could we see low 30s approval?

I love how the circular firing squad and internal fighting from the White House is spilling over into the GOP Congressional bodies too. Just shows how big a fraud the entire party is.
