The good news: a ā€˜generic Democratā€™ leads by 17 points.

The bad news: though he might change his mind, Corey Stewart isnā€™t running in 2020.

ā€œWe are underdogs, thereā€™s no question,ā€

They are dirty dogs, no question. Of all the far-too-sensitive ethnic types out there filtering everything through their lenses of self - interest, and feminazis spelling wymyn with a ā€˜yā€™, the GOP elite is the fastest to point out their very highest victimhood and wave it as a flag of privilege.

I live here now, knew nothing about him until last year when this all came out. I thought they were supposed to be investigating him. Guess these days it doesnā€™t matter if your under investigation, just hope for the best and run for a high office. His district before included Va. Beach big military conservative landscape. I canā€™t imagine heā€™d have a chance in any of the larger more liberal cities and his opponent was a woman, also former military, and she beat him.

"Weā€™re gonna get back up, dust our knees off and move forward.ā€

Spoken like a truly dedicated Rethugliklan whore.

I know, I know, he forgot to mention dusting off his hands.

Good news for Prince William County, too. Stewartā€™s not running for re-election as the Chair of the Board of County Supervisors, either, but another whacko is.

ā€œScott Taylor is an experienced campaigner, having run or explored running for five different offices in the past decade,ā€ Warnerā€™s campaign manager, Bruce Sinclair, said in a statement Monday. ā€œWe welcome Scott Taylor to the race and wish him the best of luck in the Republican primary.ā€

ā€œā€¦ because weā€™d love to run against him in the general, and beat his crooked punk ass like a gong.ā€

Whoa, Taylor and Kobach coming out for Senate runs on the same day. The GOP is really sending in the A team. Did Taylor at least spell his first name correctly?

Iā€™ll probably regret saying this, but Iā€™m just shocked that both men donā€™t have any challengers.

Did he also announce which other ā€œDemocratā€ would be entering the race?

Once upon a time, there existed Republicans of honor.

Not anymore. Every single Republican is corrupt.
