He's no Trump. The Trump playbook isn't going to work out for him in the end.

It is. He’ll suffer zero consequences and will stay in the house at least as long as Madison Cawthorn

He'll be that weird uncle everyone hates but invites to dinner because he's family.

By "everyone" I mean the GOP.

We shall see. I tend to believe your position is the accurate one, however the Nassau County GOP has already publicly stated on camera (just this morning, I think) that he is not welcome to their gatherings.

What this means remains to be determined, of course.

Yeah, but we’re talking House, so it’s only 2 years instead of 4. Only 335m, so he’ll be ready for the poor house.

4 years with executive power vs. 2 years in the legislature.

He'll take in lobbyist cash for votes but he won't get close to the haul Ivanka and Jared made off her father's presidency.

Based on a recent post, Santos is a Republican and that’s all that matters to people upset with Democrats.

New Yorkers were really out here voting for Sliwa and Zeldin.

You hold democrats to unattainable standards, but will happily vote in for GOPers with the worst ethics in...

I'm not a fan of Mayor Adams. We can do much better in NYC. There are better democrats out there.

But Santos, Silwa, Zeldin... they're all funded by Peter Thiel and associates of Russian oligarchs.

Cause it's different. We have reached a point where the moral barometer for a significant amount of Americans no longer exists.

If this wasn't the case, we would still have Al Franken in office. Or Cuomo. Shit dude not saying it wasn't bad shit they did, but repugs will foam at the mouth to vote in people who are ACTIVE pedophiles and rapists. Tbh, the scariest part of is I think they do it because they see themselves being represented by these individuals.

I promise you it will. You really gotta keep in mind, republicans showed up in droves to vote for child predators, people who threatened their wives with knives and commit domestic assault, and many more horrific things - Republicans not only voted for these people, but they did so KNOWING that these candidates were behaving this way.

I'm willing to bet you could present your average repub with an actual video of a candidate killing a person and raping their dead body, to which they would still vote for them. Why? To own teh libz.
