WOW good catch. Just in time for the primaries.
OK anons, here's my theory: I've been puzzling over why THE LIST of "retiring" senators and congressmen has been out of balance with a lot more Rs than Ds retiring. Then it hit me.
The Rs in question who were part of the swamp and who MUST GO got "the talk." They were given the choice of walking away or being thrown out of the window. They chose wisely and announced in time for Trump-favored candidates to work through the primaries, etc., and get on the ballot properly. This has been hugely successful with only one misfire, if I'm not mistaken.
NOW: the primaries are finishing up and here come the Dem BOOMS. No time to scramble for replacement candidates. Think Ellison is an isolated incident?
Let's keep score and see how many Ds are forced to "retire" between now and election day.
Thoughts?
Right. My point is that the Ds were not given the courtesy of "the talk" and will now be shown the window. Should be a fun August!
