Want to know what Bernie Moreno, Juan Ciscomani, Carlos Gimenez, and Young Kim have to say about this 🤔 🤔 🤔

Want to know what Bernie Moreno, Juan Ciscomani, Carlos Gimenez, and Young Kim have to say 🤔 🤔 🤔

I know Cameron lost to Beshear in 2023, and that Cameron was controversial as attorney general.

To my knowledge, Andy Barr is a tea party Republican who beat blue dog Democrat Ben Chandler in 2012, and has held onto his Bluegrass seat since. His voting record seems like a typical pre-Trump Republican, as he voted against objecting the 2020 election and voted to expel George Santos. He also seems to have voted to override Trump’s veto in January (I recall seeing it), along with Massie. He seems like an establishment Republican.

Daniel Cameron seems like an anti-establishment Republican who has always been pro Trump. He’s also 12 years younger than Barr, so he’s better in that sense. Additionally, he would be a great new face of the GOP.

I thought Trump would endorse Daniel Cameron. Any fact about Barr and Cameron I’m missing?

He seems like he has the ability to beat Nick Begich and get elected to Congress.

When Bill Cassidy voted to impeach Trump in 2021, I gained respect for him. I also respect his past work as a doctor, vaccinating many low-income and uninsured people. I believed he was one of the greatest GOP senators, and respected him for being a pragmatic conservative (who was willing to support laws such as Gun Control and the infrastructure bill). In 2024, Cassidy stood strong to his principles, telling Trump to drop out due to the convictions. He also called out Jeff Landry for abolishing the jungle primary, stating it would increase spending (I recall something like that). That being said, I think he could’ve endorsed someone else like Desantis or Haley.

Since 2025, Bill Cassidy has tried improving relations with Trump. I understand if he wants to work with Trump to pass policies they both agree with. However, he refuses to stand up to Trump in his insane moments, and I lost all my respect for Cassidy when he voted to advance RFK Jr (after grilling him). Nonetheless, Trump still endorsed a challenger, Julia Letlow, who won. Bill Cassidy tried falling back in favor with Trump and he still lost. He now leaves hated by liberals and hated by MAGA, only liked by the GOP establishment (such as Thune). He deserved his loss.

I also want to wish the best to future senator Julia Letlow (less extreme than John Fleming), who has gone through a terrible tragedy and is doing her best to move forward. She ran a compassionate campaign.

To start, I am a liberal leaning American. I oppose Trump’s anti NATO foreign policy, climate change policy, and economic policy. I think Trump was guilty of inciting the Jan 6 insurrection, and that he poorly handled COVID and made the situation worse.

To my understanding, Stevens is a moderate who is pro-Israel (AIPAC). McMorrow is progressive who is pro Israel but increasingly pro Palestine (will elaborate later). Sayed is a Bernie Sanders style progressive who is pro Palestine and pro universal healthcare.

Personally, I think Stevens is too pro-Israel (AIPAC funding) and can make the same mistake Kamala made. She seems too pro-status quo and not populist enough.

Personally, I support Sayed’s policies such as Medicare for all and fair trade. I think he runs a great economic policy and social policy, making the right decision to focus on economic policy. However, I think Sayed is too controversial, especially his leaked remarks on the death of the Ayatollah and his appearance with Hasan Piker. I know Hasan Piker is popular among youth and promotes economic improvement (some of which I agree with, idk about him too well), but I heard he has stated that America deserved 9/11 and that he would vote Hamas over Israel.

McMorrow was previously pro Israel and accepting of AIPAC but has condemned Netanyahu for his actions in Gaza and rejects AIPAC money now. To my knowledge, she seems to be a J Street supported liberal Zionist. Her policies seem to be moderate progressive, such as insisting data centers pay their fair share and favoring a public option to Medicare. However, she is bagged by controversies, including deleted tweets about Michigan (as compared to coasts) and a leaked call on a position paper regarding AIPAC.

My solution to the problem: Kirsten McDonald Rivet.

Why: when Trump won her district by 2%, she won by 7%. She seems popular in her district, and does not seem to have angered constituents. She seems like she can win comfortably.

This is meant to be an open discussion about the Moore-Capito political family. I know that Arch Moore was a US representative before he was governor from 1968-76, and then 1984-88. His daughter Shelley Moore Capito was a representative from 2000-2014, before being elected to the senate. Her son Moore Capito tried running for governor in 2024 but lost to Morrisey, while her nephew Riley Moore was treasurer and is now a US representative.

How are they different in terms of their views and policies?

Was Arch Moore more moderate than his grandsons? Is Shelley Moore Capito a moderate flip flopper who tries to appear more conservative and pro-Trump than she is? Is Riley Moore more maga than Moore Capito and Shelley Moore Capito? What would Arch Moore think of his dynasty?

To begin, I think Howard Lutnick, Kash Patel, RFK JR, Tulsi Gabbard, and apete Hegseth should resign. Marco Rubio is ok and I think he can stay.

To start, I denounce Tony Gonzales’s affair and his actions, and believe he was right to resign. His affair and mistreatment of Regina Santos Aviles was unacceptable. RIP Regina Santos Aviles. Hopefully Gonzales faces prosecution

However, I am shocked the media is silent on Brandon Herrera, acting like he is a typical Republican. In 2024, he was portrayed as a guntuber who challenged Gonzales because he supported some gun control. Additionally, Herrera has allegedly appeared at far-right organizations’ events. Why isn’t media going after him in his comeback? What chance is there that Katy Padilla Stout can beat him?

From an outsider’s perspective (who endorses many candidates in many states), Weiser seems better.

I like Bennet, but I think he should stay in the senate and aim for leadership roles, or possibly run for president in 2028.

Nothing against her, she is an effective senator and a great person. However, I just don’t think she should’ve run for governor.

1. She will be vacating her senate seat, causing both senators in MN to be freshmen and forcing a special election in 2028.

2. She will be throwing away opportunity for her future. I saw her as a potential majority leader or whip, or even a presidential nominee. While she can still run for president while governor, it will look like a desperate political ladder climb, given she just got elected.

I just think there is much more she could do if she stays in the senate. Ideally, someone like Erin Murphy should’ve run for governor.

Reasons can include anything, including their policies, legacies, rhetoric, and their approval.

I think he was a goated representative. Even while Trump won his district, he was able to win and he was a liberal democrat who never opposed any Biden policies.
