Anyone think Cassidy will find his spine now that he was humiliated at the polls?

He did take a little dig at trump for being a sore loser in his succession speech. Watch out for incoming "lies social" posts, Bill!

I have a message for "Dr." Cassidy: I will always remember you as being the deciding vote for RFK Jr. I hope that is your legacy. You more than deserve it.

Now that you've lost "bigly", you have a choice. Redeem yourself by voting your conscience (start with the War Powers Act) and support RFK's impeachment. You can go down with your head held high or be even further humiliated. It's your choice.

At this point I almost have to think these Magats like the humiliation.
What else is there to believe when their messiah keeps lying to them and basically fucking them over?

He will spend his last 5&1/2 months showing contrition for his "lack of vision".
I'd be happy to be wrong, but shocked.

He could have done something good and saved us from RFKjr. Cassidy actually promoted vaccinations as an MD. But no... And what is his reward? Primaried.

So not so great for Trump either.

Headlines should read: Blind Squirrel Trump finally gets a nut in the primaries.

…political book circuit in the near future, promoting his warning to America about home-grown fascism. Well, one can dream, right?

(BTW, around 1979-1980 there was a congressional bloodletting that was essentially the vanguard of the “Reagan revolution”. One of the defeated members of Congress wrote a book about the Reagan movement and its alliance with the religious right, The Fear Brokers. It seems to me that it’s high time once again for such an event).
