    God gave him parkinson’s so’d he’d resign.

  2. Assuming that Stacey Abrams doesn’t run, she has to be the odds-on favorite for the Veep post, regardless of whether the nominee is Biden, Warren or Sanders. Two senate seats in the balance? Yes, please.

    I just hope that Schumer doesn’t trot out Sam Nunn’s daughter again. She had about as much appeal to Georgians as Herman the Lesser had to people in the 2nd SD. Besides, her old man sucked.

    A good indicator of the fear the Republicans have of defeat in 2020, strongly suspect he’d tough it out if he thought Trump was a sure thing.

    • El Somnambulo

      Not in this case. He had been hospitalized for a fall due to his Parkinson’s, and has a litany of other health problems.

    • We’ll get Colorado, but Alabama will switch back to R.

  4. If Trump loses by 10 nationally, both Joni Ernst in Iowa and Thom Tillis in NC are likely gone as well.

    If, if, if, if, if …
    Slow down.
    You’re counting chickens faster than Frank Perdue could chop off their necks.

    • Just pointing out that, as someone who has been on both sides of politically-disastrous election days, the carnage on the losing side is always much deeper than expected.
