Josh Mandel. Is this a joke?

That name rings a bell ? He was featured on TPM in the pre-Trump era ???

He’s pretty ridiculous, but could nonetheless have been a real threat to Brown a cycle ago. Hmm. Sounds like he took a long hard look at the polling data and the blue tsunami building and decided to seek higher ground…

“My wife has health issues” is the 2018 version of “Spending more time with my family”.

Maybe I’m unjustly cynical, but this seems odd.

“The Timeline Looks Worse and Worse for McGahn, Sesssions AND Rosenstein”

Somewhat unsurprising. Rosenstein = “good cop.”

One look at him and my first thought is, “How many skeletons are in his closet?”

But even before Mandel dropped his campaign, it was looking like an uphill battle for the GOP to unseat Brown, a populist warrior whose numbers have remained strong in the state.

That’s right! Democrats can win in Trump states! Keep trucking!

They start young now a days. Did you hear about the Orange County Republican Treasurer who had attacked a highschool classmate with a hammer? Ten or fifteen years later, he’s still a class act.

There’s gonna be a lot of sick wives. Hope they have good health insurance. :eyes:

I hope that his wife is going to be ok.

As much as I’m cynical, health issues happen and I wish her good luck especially if there are children.

I hope that afterward their experiences w/ the healthcare system drive them to support universal coverage.

They say the animals sense the tsunami before people do and we should follow them to high ground.
