The House Always Wins, 4-28-2024, Donald Payne, Jr. (D-NJ) Passes (And Other Updates)

theesteemedprussian356

Unbeknownst to the general public, Congressman Donald Payne, Jr. had been struggling in the hospital for the past few weeks with complications relating to his diabetes diagnosis, something that I had been aware of because of a press release from the distance meeting era of Congress during COVID when people with diseases like diabetes were at greater risk. On April 24th, 2024, he passed away after struggling in the hospital after suffering from those complications to which I offer my condolences to the family. While the generally accepted best time to talk about politics is never because most people don’t … Continue reading The House Always Wins, 4-28-2024, Donald Payne, Jr. (D-NJ) Passes (And Other Updates)

The Keystone State, 4-28-2024, Wrapping Up The State GOP’s Very Good Primary Night On April 23rd, 2024

theesteemedprussian356

Pennsylvania Democrats didn’t have a great night on primary night, April 23rd, 2024. Between a series of questionable candidates for statewide office being nominated and the most controversial candidates getting congressional bids, there’s a lot for the Pennsylvania Democratic Party to be ashamed of regarding their results. To give an extensive list of all of the contests that were significant, I will be going through each one, why it is important, and why the specific Democratic candidate is damaged or underperformed expectations. Let’s get to the stories.             Starting off with the statewide candidates, the Treasurer contest had a lot … Continue reading The Keystone State, 4-28-2024, Wrapping Up The State GOP’s Very Good Primary Night On April 23rd, 2024

Democratic Banter #347, How Much Of A Dud Could The Upcoming NY-26 Special Election Be For The GOP? (The Nate McMurray Angle)

theesteemedprussian356

For those who remember the early days of the Trump Administration, some names in the Republican conference created headaches because of their ethical issues in Congress and consequently ran for re-election during the blue midterm year of 2018. While Duncan D. Hunter (R-CA) would later be forced to resign from Congress for misusing campaign funds, the most notable instance of a corrupt Trump Republican that the media gravitated toward to slam was Chris Collins (R-NY) who was charged with insider trading. Despite the effort to defeat him in the 2018 elections, Democrats to the upset of New York Democrats that … Continue reading Democratic Banter #347, How Much Of A Dud Could The Upcoming NY-26 Special Election Be For The GOP?

Democratic Banter #344, Democrats Abroad, Anti-Semitism On The Left, and Updates On The Iran-Israel Situation

theesteemedprussian356

Something that is prominent in Democratic circles, but is absent in Republican politics, is the presence of a “Democrats Abroad” vote where Democrats who live overseas can still make their voter preference for President known. It seems strange that individuals who live outside of the United States are making decisions for the U.S. beyond military members who aren’t given the option of where they are located, but I digress. The presidential primary vote was tallied with most of the vote going to Joe Biden being the preferred choice as the incumbent Democratic nominee, but the percentage of the vote like … Continue reading Democratic Banter #344, Democrats Abroad, Anti-Semitism On The Left, and Updates On The Iran-Israel Situation

2024 Libertarian Presidential Primary Banter, 4-21-2024, The Party Still Rests At 2% Nationally Despite Constant Controversy

theesteemedprussian356

Whenever different states are being polled regarding third-party performances that could take votes away from either Donald Trump or Joe Biden, the Libertarian vote continues to surprise me. After having suffered through the financial woes of dealing with the Mises Caucus, the internal fighting with the left-libertarians like Joshua Reed Eakle wanting to fight easy battles instead of incursions on civil liberties coming from the left, and the general disarray of horrible statements regarding child labor, John McCain, and January 6th, there are still 2% of voters who are still saying they will vote Libertarian. In particular, the polling has … Continue reading 2024 Libertarian Presidential Primary Banter, 4-21-2024, The Party Still Rests At 2% Nationally Despite Constant Controversy

2024 Senate Election Predictions, 4-21-2024, Updates On The 2024 Senate Races

theesteemedprussian356

This past week had a few notable updates regarding the Senate that are worth noting. The polling is showing that the GOP candidates are running very close to Democratic incumbents or frontrunners in states like New Jersey and Wisconsin, while the situation in Arizona with Kari Lake has the potential to backslide into Republican failure further down-ballot. The trial regarding embattled Senator Bob Menendez has the potential to drag his wife into taking the fall for the both of them with the Senator facing steep legal odds in his bid for another Senate term. Let’s get to the stories.             … Continue reading 2024 Senate Election Predictions, 4-21-2024, Updates On The 2024 Senate Races

Foreign Politics, 4-21-2024, Updates On Austria, Germany, Israel, South Korea, and South Africa

theesteemedprussian356

There have been multiple updates regarding electoral politics from around the world that are worth commenting on. In Austria, the fate of the governing coalition in the federal government could come down to two parties that wouldn’t otherwise be thought of as serious political parties determining the balance of power. In Germany, the Alternative for Deutschland party is officially starting to come down from it’s sugar high after various European parties of similar types announced that they couldn’t work with them or distanced themselves. In Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu would be poised to lose the next parliamentary election if it were … Continue reading Foreign Politics, 4-21-2024, Updates On Austria, Germany, Israel, South Korea, and South Africa

The House Always Wins, 4-21-2024, Updates On The 2024 House Races

theesteemedprussian356

There were some updates from last week from the House of Representatives that were worth commenting on. The recent pressure placed on the lawmakers who voted to oust Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House appears to be mounting as financial resources appear to be lining up behind the primary challengers to two of the prominent names. This comes as polling and fundraising also suggest that two Democratic “Squad” members are at great risk of being primaried from the center of the Democratic Party. Also, a new retirement from the House of Representatives has opened a safe Republican seat in … Continue reading The House Always Wins, 4-21-2024, Updates On The 2024 House Races

The House Always Wins, 4-21-2024, A Worst Case Scenario Guide Heading To May 14th, 2024 Regarding Primaries

theesteemedprussian356

I’ve covered the bulk of the major stories metastasizing in Republican and Democratic circles in the last article for this week dealing with the House, but I wanted to comment on every House primary that could conceivably fall apart for the GOP leading up to May 12th, 2024. While I don’t expect (and hope not) that every one of these hypothetical primary situations plays out in the worst way possible, the last few scares and the upcoming primary run-off between Brandon Herrera and Congressman Tony Gonzalez give reason to believe that there might be danger in the primaries for Republican … Continue reading The House Always Wins, 4-21-2024, A Worst Case Scenario Guide Heading To May 14th, 2024 Regarding Primaries

The House Always Wins, 4-14-2024, Updates From New Jersey’s 8th Congressional District Primary (and Possible Gubernatorial Primary Match-Ups)

theesteemedprussian356

While Bob Menendez, Sr. is dealing with his own legal troubles and potential vanity bid for the Senate that will grift New Jersians for funds in exchange for money to finance his legal defense fund, I mean, his Senate campaign, his son Robert Menendez is facing a spirited primary of his own from Ravi Bhalla (D-NJ) which is well-funded and encouraged by some who are already frustrated by the former’s nepotic rise to Congress. The two men should be characterized as different entities until otherwise proven connected in any meaningful way as the sins of the father don’t implicate the … Continue reading The House Always Wins, 4-14-2024, Updates From New Jersey’s 8th Congressional District Primary (and Possible Gubernatorial Primary Match-Ups)
