Liz Cheney is that you?

So MAGA controls the White House and the Senate and has a supermajority in the House?  Right?

How can you say "the Conservatives" were right about the election when it hasn't yet happened?

I still think it will cost us seats.   We're going to get hammered on dysfunction, and Johnson's past statements arguing for the actual criminalization of gay sex are going to hurt with a lot of independendents.

People generally don't pay too much attention to Congress.  Those that would be outraged would never vote for our side anyway.

Sorry, you seem to be a little extra fevered today.

They'll pay attention in congressional races.  They'll focus on the most vulnerable Republican members in swing districts, and hammer them on this.

Republicans did the same thing with Nancy Pelosi in Congressional races because she was unpopular, and presumably they had some data showing it was effective.  It's not like it's going to result in a hundred seat swing, but if it affects 5 to 10 races, that's a lot.
