He may well get more votes than Sinema, and it IS goddamn stupid to support Sinema (or Lake), but if Gallego and Sinema both run, Lake or some Republican is going to be the AZ Senator.

Lake lost to Hobbs by about 0.4%. She is not going to lose ANY of her votesβ€”those are hardcore supporters. Which means that Gallego and Sinema will split what was essentially the Hobbs vote. Even if Sinema gets only 5-10% of the Hobbs vote and Gallego gets the rest.

The last "left-libertarian" was probably Goldwater, in the last 5-8 years of his life. Every libertarian (other than Harry Browne), when pushed on abortion, comes out with the Republican position.

If this is her campaign commercial she maybe shoulda spent some of that dark money on a setting that didn't look like a conference room in a medium-good community college, and recruited some "constituents" who don't look like they're about to keel over at any minute.

I still think a Republican cocaine-fueled sex orgy would be a lot of old, wrinkled white men and $10k/night DC hookers.

I downloaded an antitrust judgement against Microsoft (the Oughts, I think). It was written in WordPerfect.

Then check Mike Pompous's garage, 'cause he's running to.

And you get a Special Prosecutor. And you get a Special Prosecutor.

As in all things, Trump's Special Prosecutor OG is the best Special Prosecutor.

Oh, and Pence and Pompous's Special Prosecutors have to come from Obama appointees. You know, to be fair.

I'm sure she knows exactly where it is. You know that little locket she always wears with the key inside?

No, no. To be completely fair to all parties, Merrick has to appoint a Special Prosecutor who was appointed to his/her position during the Obama administration. Just so everything is completely fair and above board.

Spam and pineapple pizza is a myth. I should know. I once owned a pizza shop.

Ms. O and I incorporated it into our wedding vows. It was the most emotional moment of the whole day.
