Anti-Impeachment D To Flip. He thinks he has a better chance to save his seat in a general than in a primary against a real D:
Those talks (with Trump) came after Mr. Van Drew saw the results of a poll conducted this month that suggested that a vote against impeaching Mr. Trump would damage his chances of winning his Democratic primary. The poll, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times, showed that the overwhelming majority of Democratic primary voters — 71 percent — would be less likely to support his re-election if he opposed the charges against Mr. Trump.
BTW, I think he’s toast in the general next year. New Jersey isn’t Alabama after the passage of the Civil Rights Act. In fact, he might not survive an R primary–if there is one.
That Wisconsin Voter Purge Is Even Worse Than I Thought.
The commission had planned to throw out voters’ registrations in April 2021 if they had not responded or voted by then, but the Journal Sentinel reported that Ozaukee County Judge Paul Malloy’s decision meant they probably will be removed before the presidential election. The League of Women Voters of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Elections Commission have said they plan to appeal the ruling, according to the Journal Sentinel.
I betcha that there are enough Trump judges around to uphold this order.
The Utterly Pathetic Senate D Whine. Come right out and say it: The Rethugs have no intention of being unbiased jurors. They’re even saying it right out loud. You know what’s more pathetic? Cowardly Chris won’t even express these concerns about his across-the-aisle buds. Maybe he oughta ‘do a Van Drew’.
Another Progressive Challenges A Corporate D. In the Fresno area of Cali. She’s got a shot.
How McKinsey Makes Its Own Rules While Ignoring Legalities. A total must-read. The leaders of this company are even more full of themselves than virtually any other company.
