President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, is mulling a run against Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.).

“I’m seriously considering it,” Lewandowski wrote in a text message to POLITICO today.

A New Hampshire TV station, WMUR, reported earlier today that Lewandowski had been discussed as a potential candidate at a Republican National Committee meeting in Charlotte, N.C.

Shaheen, who’s running for a third term, narrowly defeated former Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) in 2014, winning with 51 percent of the vote.

The seat is one of the only opportunities for Republicans to pick up a Democratic-held seat next year. Several Republicans are already running, including Donald Bolduc, a retired brigadier general; Bill O’Brien, a former state House speaker; and Bryant “Corky” Messner, a lawyer and veteran. National Republicans have praised Bolduc’s record but haven’t taken sides in the primary yet.

Lewandowski lives in Windham, N.H., when he’s not in Washington. He started a Washington lobbying firm, Avenue Solutions, after Trump’s election with another Trump campaign veteran, Barry Bennett, and is now affiliated with another Washington lobbying shop, Turnberry Solutions. He has advised clients on how to deal with the Trump administration but isn’t a registered lobbyist.

He manhandled a female journalist (Working for Breitbart even) and I think that's why he was in hot waters IIRC. Also the womp womp guy.
Don't blame you it's hard to keep track with the revolving doors at the White House and the parade of morons using them lately.

Did anyone bring up how all the dems voted to fund the Bush border wall?

Because all the dems voted to fund the Bush border war.

p sure most at the time voted against it

(but a lot of the nays would've probably flipped if it got attached to the broader immigration bill that the senate passed)

Secure Fence Act of 2006
Introduced by noted white supremacist, Peter King

https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=109&session=2&vote=00262

Biden (D-DE), Yea
Clinton (D-NY), Yea
Obama (D-IL), Yea
Schumer (D-NY), Yea


You know who did vote no?

My main man Bernie (in the house)

there were definitely a few issues

republican talking points ranged from a valid criticism of moderators to deflection, castro was middling on what stance he wanted to take regarding whether or not he wanted to paint himself as pro open borders
he'd get grilled on that angle definitely by republicans in any debate, it isn't something he can refuse to answer in any debate against trump, biden at least briefly seemed coherent enough to make a cogent stance on it

Castro waffling is I think, his realization that he has a better shot than Beto does at winning the Dem Primary for Senate and knocking off John Cornyn just on name ID. (He sort of has it, Cornyn needs to spend millions of dollars again just to make people aware that he exists despite being the sitting senator) and so not wanting to commit to anything. Which ironically, (or not ironically) is what he slammed O'Rouke on.

Its just until Friday while the case is decided if the federal court even has standing on what is supposed to be a state matter (That has obvious federal implications).

Edit: Stayed until August 29th, the Friday deadline is for the state of New York to argue why the DC court doesn't have standing.

What's the over under of this being biden?

Quote
"It is perilous to the party to attack one of the most popular figures among voters in the country," the Obama associate added. "This primary has got to be about making the strongest possible case against Donald Trump and not be a circular firing squad. It could ultimately backfire on candidates who choose to engage in this rhetoric."

Going on my tangent a bit more.

Delaney also wasn't entirely off the mark, it is easy to promise the moon but can you deliver. Pragmatism/feasibility isn't incompatible with big ideas.
Like for healthcare, dollars for result wise the States is awful, picking the broken system angle is better than getting whittled into a hard corner about needing to come up with trillions to throw into said system.

As well, you need presentable solutions as opposed to abstract goals.
For example, one candidate to tackle greening, his ideas were along the lines of reinventing the coal and middle areas from fossil fuels to solar industry and panel production. This was good on multiple fronts
as it actually specifies a strategy (solar, built in the States), it acknowledges grievances (loss of jobs from coal), and offers a fix (transitioning the coal area to green jobs).

Simply leaving it at vague renewable energy and only homing on killing coal with no alternative just justifies a group to side against you.

I think it’s safe to say that John Judis has more established lefty bona fides than I do. So it’s a little disturbing to read this from him.

This usually gets treated by reporters as a big “Dems in disarray” kind of thing, but I’m genuinely not sure that’s the real fault line here. Rather, I think it’s the Twitterization of the left. No matter how carefully you curate your Twitter feed, and no matter how much you try to take Twitter with a grain of salt, it will inevitably overexpose you to a very specific subset of the progressive movement. This is not just the activist subset. It’s a group that’s way leftier, way louder, way less tolerant, way woker, way younger, and way whiter than the Democratic Party as a whole. Even if you think you’re sophisticated enough to understand this and account for it, spending time on Twitter almost certainly skews your view of the progressive movement.

This is what accounts for some of what Judis is talking about. Many of the Democratic candidates seem like they’re in thrall to the lefty twitterverse, deathly afraid of doing anything that might bring down a viral storm on their heads. And it’s hard to blame them, since campaign reporters also love Twitter, and will turn these viral shitstorms into page A1 stories in the New York Times.

I am more and more convinced that Twitter is a curse. We have met the enemy and it is us.

Kamala so far seems like a good choice for that, her support boosts have been very fickle and left her almost as quickly as they come. It was the same when she announced and got a boost then drifted back behind Beto and Pete.

And from a fundamentals stand point she looks like a great candidate, but there's lot of things that will trip her up and prevent a perfect record or one loss season.

If you were wondering how Alan Dersh would defend himself.  :doge

https://www.jpost.com/American-Politics/How-The-New-Yorker-conducts-journalistic-assassinations-597350

Quote
“Our legal process is already susceptible to abuse. Unscrupulous litigants can weaponize the discovery process to humiliate and embarrass their adversaries. Shielded by the ‘litigation privilege,’ bad actors can defame opponents in court pleadings or depositions without fear of lawsuit and liability.

“[C]ourt filings are, in some respects, particularly susceptible to fraud. For while the threat of defamation actions may deter malicious falsehoods in standard publications, this threat is non-existent with respect to certain court filings.... Thus, although the act of filing a document with a court might be thought to lend that document additional credibility, in fact, allegations appearing in such documents might be less credible than those published elsewhere.

“We therefore urge the media to exercise restraint in covering potential defamatory allegations, and we caution the public to read such accounts with discernment.”

That is precisely the case with regard to the fraudulent claims made against me and repeated by The New Yorker.
I end this article with a categorical statement: I never met my false accusers. There is not, nor will there ever be, any evidence that I had sex with them. They are lying for money. No one should believe them.

Bonus points on JPost putting this in their American Politics section and not the opinion section. Not even The Hill is that bold.
