Joseph Kennedy mulling primary challenge to Markey in Massachusetts
By John Bowden - 08/17/19 03:03 PM EDT

Rep. Joe Kennedy (D-Mass.) reportedly commissioned a survey to see how well he would fare in a primary challenge against Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) for Markey's Senate seat as the lawmaker considers a bid against the senior senator.

Kennedy, 38, paid for a survey last month that tested his strength in a head-to-head matchup against Markey, The New York Times reported Saturday, while a senior Democratic official confirmed that Kennedy was weighing a primary challenge.

Markey, 76, is a progressive stalwart in the state and this year made headlines by joining with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) to introduce the Green New Deal, an ambitious plan to battle climate change and transition the nation's economy off fossil fuels.

Moderate Dems can have a field day with all these GND morons.  I expect many of them will get primaried and lose to opponents that talk about the utter destruction of the party by embracing lunacy.

Thank God for AOC, Sanders and Pelosi, and the cast of characters that brighten our day like Waters, Wilson, Johnson, Omar, Green, Schiff, Nadler, and on and on.  With this cast, if the GOP does not overwhelmingly win both houses of Congress with full voting majorities, they simply do not want it.

I've always wondered, since Rats have become such clowns:  When they eat each other, does it taste "funny?"   :laugh: 🤡
