Of concern among party members is that the failure of extremist candidates on the 2022 midterm ballot handed the state party its worst election results since 1984 — and they fear a repeat in 2024.

The DEGOP civil war that wasn’t
I had been expecting a headline like the one below for a long time, but the coup has come and gone. DEGOP moderates never stood a chance so they never put up a fight. It’s like after Castle lost to O’Donnell, they just all said “fuck it.” They’re all MAGA nutbags and really aren’t concerned with ever winning state wide ever again.

Latest Hunter Biden OUTRAGE!! When will the corruption END??!!
It is now impossible to see how Hunter Biden avoids doing hard time in Gitmo’ over these HUGE payoffs from the Saudi Arabian crown prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Wait, what..? It was Jared & Trump. Oh never mind.
Former US president Donald Trump and his former senior advisor and son-in-law Jared Kushner are still receiving financial benefits after fostering a close relationship with Saudi Arabian crown prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) during their time in office, the Washington Post reported this week.
This murky relationship with the Saudis puts Trump’s integrity into question as the 2024 US presidential election approaches.
The Saudis provided both Trump and Kushner with sizable investments after their term, during which they bolstered MBS’s grip on the country by arranging that Trump’s first presidential trip be to Saudi Arabia, meeting with him in the US, and siding with him in several controversies.
