2022 House and Senate election

To complete the analogy, he meant Ramonce vs Beto or Abbott. Ramonce played for Texas and the biggest race in the state is for governor this year.
hui must have been distracted, focused on his next perseverative attempted smear of Trump.
They're trying to redo the 1974 play book. They were in the wake of a scandal by the previous president (Watergate), and they did everything they could to smear everybody in the party with any stain from that President even though the President was gone. It worked in 1974, because the mainstream media had a virtual monopoly on the public discourse and did everything it could to make Watergate the central issue. If you were a Republican backbencher from the Denver or Chicago suburbs, what the hell did you have to do with Watergate? Nothing, but it didn't matter. You had an R by your name, and that was enough. It also didn't matter that we had a crime problem and inflation back then as well. It was all about Watergate, and the plan worked. Democrats gained about 48 seats.
They're trying to pull the same **** with January 6, and the media is going right along like it did in 1974. The big difference is that they no longer have a monopoly on the public discourse (though they're trying to get it back with social media censorship). So while they blab on about January 6, other media are willing to discuss inflation, crime, and the border (meaning real issues that are relevant to the election). It's killing the play book.
I don’t need to smear that imbecile. He is doing such a good job himself that I can’t keep up

Also, 74 was the dreaded 6th year of a Presidential administration, where the losses are often quite bad (2014 and 2006 as examples), and things could be blamed on Ford. While this year, with the Democrat party in complete control of the House, Senate, and Executive branch, it's hard to say things are all bad because some dudes walked into the Capitol almost two years ago.

Lots of ****** Democrat candidates this year, but certainly up there is Hobbs, who looks, sounds, and acts exactly like the pro-typical leftist whiny "Karen".
Her, Charlie Crist the Tan Man, and the SC Democrat Senate nominee who said on undercover video that she hated white people have to be the biggest turds of this cycle. Only 3 more week till they're all flushed down the toilet.
You're right (though it would be tougher to blame Ford since he just took office), but that wasn't the play book. The play book was Watergate. It's what they ran on. In fact, they called the Democrats who got elected in '74 "Watergate Babies."
I think it's massively dumb for her not to debate - not because she'd win the debate if she tried but because the "I don't debate" issue would dissipate. It's worse for her than actually losing the debate.

I guess the idea for Hobbs' handlers (she seem too dumb to come up with any strategy on her own) was to go into the "I won't waste my time debating such a scrub", like some 4 term incumbent does against a low-funded opponent.
Paint Lake as a meanie extremist, get the worthless Flake/McCain wing of the AZ GOP to back you up (McShitStain's daughter supported someone else for the nomination and primary night was saying Lake couldn't win the general), and then ride media suck-assitriy to victory.
Problem was, the voters didn't agree, and Lake right from the primary's end was tied or ahead, so the "I'm too good for a debate" trick didn't work. Now Hobbs is stuck looking like she's too stupid and cowardly to even do a single debate.
She even has this stipulation that she and Lake can't be in the same auditorium hall at the same time during interviews with media scum, sort of like a black cat crossing your path. Lake wonderfully trolled her at one event by sitting in the front row, causing Hobbs to freak out and force the media scum to ask Lake to leave.
How pitiful and biased are the media to agree to such foolishness - they'd have a field day of ridicule if a Republican even tried to ask for such accommodations. But they'll all vote for Hobbs so they're an extension of her campaign staff anyway.
Another turd self-flushes.

Hope you're right.
We (though I'm on the youngest edge of GenX) are also old enough to make a decent living and therefore care about taxes and inflation. However, we're young enough that we're not dependent on the government (yet) as Baby Boomers and older groups are but not as young as the generations that were filled with massive loads of ******** by the public education and college systems and told never to question any of it.
He asks a question that presumes her to be right about a bunch of issues, and she still looks bad. Let me guess, she blamed it on racism and sexism. (Side note - not that I expect any better from our crappy media, but this entire focus is stupid. It's not relevant to any issue, and it inherently calls for speculation by Abrams.)
Ultimately, I think Abrams is a poor candidate. I think white liberals like to tout intersectional (whether by race or sex) candidates, because they think it makes them look righteous. However, I think it clouds their judgment about what is actually appealing in a general election, particularly when they dismiss losses as manifestations of racism and/or misogyny and therefore immoral to take seriously
In reality, most Democratic intersectional candidates aren't very good, because they're able to ride on their intersectional status alone for success in their party. Since they teach their minority constituencies to be very racist and since white liberals think voting for a minority candidate is an act of moral good, they simply aren't seriously tested in primaries. The result is that a lot of very bad candidates get nominated.
Don't forget the winding route that Val Demings took last night in the debate with Rubio to avoid answering a similar question about willingness to accept the results.
