Let's hope, hope, hope

 

Apparently some Republican candidates for the U.S. Senate are not doing particularly well.

That, in case you're wondering, is GREAT NEWS.

The GOP is paying the price for Trump’s loopy Senate candidates  (by Jennifer Rubin in the Washington Post)

"The New York Times reports on the latest indication that the party is facing fundraising woes: “The National Republican Senatorial Committee has cut more than $5 million in Pennsylvania, including its reservations in the Philadelphia media market, according to two media-tracking sources.” It also cut more than $2 million in Wisconsin and about $2 million in the biggest media markets in Arizona."

...

"For the GOP as a whole, underwhelming performances in statewide races by handpicked Trump candidates would be a clear signal that Trumpism remains a minority faction dependent on antidemocratic rules (e.g., gerrymandering, the filibuster). There’s no certainty such results in November would impair Trump’s chances of winning the nomination in 2024, given Republicans’ fidelity to the former president over democracy and truth. But it would mean that refusing to cut Trump loose is a recipe for perpetual minority status."

Like I said, we can hope. Work to defeat the GOP, and hope.
