No drumming on Schumer from their contingency over him and his race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those would make for Senators 57 and 58.  Moving down the list to Senators 59 and 60, the two &#8220;Independent&#8221; losers from Nebraska and Montana.  Methinks that as bad as the &#8220;Democratic brand&#8221; is, in the two-part system and where nobody understands these candidates as anything but Democrats, they would have been better off running as Democrats, which above all else in this election is broadly understood as &#8220;Trump sucks&#8221;.  In the case of Montana, he would be the actual Democrat on the ballot, and not facing a Democrat (anti-abortion, apparently.)  In either case, it is not difficult to just announce that your pronouns are &#8220;check out my guns!&#8221; and then switch over to how the Iran War is making diesel costs absurd.  Or like that.  Maybe leave the pseudo-Independents to a governor&#8217;s race, effectively what Iowa&#8217;s and Florida&#8217;s Democratic governor did or tried to do &#8211; &#8211; and, you know, what California and Oregon&#8217;s and California&#8217;s Republican contenders could have seriously gone full flog on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The future is the past, the past is the future.\u00a0 Fox News has hagiographical imagery about Bush through 6 years.\u00a0 A giant mid-term election starts an interim to the demonic figuring of Hillary Clinton before it switched after the election of 2008 to Obama.\u00a0 Obama has to squeeze and grind out a few piecemeal reforms [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61604","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61604","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61604"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61604\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":61619,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61604\/revisions\/61619"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61604"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61604"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61604"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
