Wow. It doesn't look like he's made a single tweet since election day.
If Walker wins, the best he can hope to accomplish as Senator would be to abstain on each and every vote.
Well, that fits with the right's abstinence-only policy....

He's actually dumber than Dump. That is breathtaking.

If Warnock does win, it's too bad this seat is not more critical; it would be an even stronger statement.
Either way, it's pretty clear that Dump's appeal is weakening in Ga.

Hug someone you care about...
Yep...
If this was a normal election Walker's advisors would have shut him up months ago. His numbers go down every time he speaks near a mic.
True.
Just as the realization that over 60 million people supported Dump was as frightening as the man himself, the fact that Walker is so competitive, despite his obvious incompetence, is far more frightening than the fool himself. Georgia has proven herself, but that is some scary shyt down in that part of the woods.

Oh, absolutely. It means that Dems only have to buy off one of Manchin or Sienema, let the other vote no, and Kamala still breaks the tie. It’s a whole different ballgame when the Dems only need one of them and not both.

This. More important than folks realize.

I remember posting a couple things last year about the importance of 51/49 versus 50/50. One post I think was about the Senate Parliamentarian ruling that a majority of the Senate Budget Committee had to vote to revise budget resolutions multiple times per year (read: one extra budget reconciliation bill in 2021), since such a resolution wasn't allowed to be automatically discharged to the Senate floor. Since no GOP member would ever vote to advance one (partisan) budget reconciliation bill, much less more than one in one year, the opportunity for that third budget reconciliation died with the 50/50 chamber (Manchin killed the second budget reconciliation bill late last year anyways, but I digress). The second post was along the lines of the importance of 51/49 complete control of committees while rendering Manchin less important. Blind squirrels and nuts and all, and I certainly don't expect anyone to remember what I posted 18 minutes ago, much less 18 months ago, but we're in on this one together.

This. 51-49 means they can allow Manchin to break from the party when necessary to try and save his seat going into 2024, and tell Sinema to quit dicking around and start voting like the transplanted AZ liberals who elected her if she wants to raise her approval rating and keep hers.
