NC-SEN 2020: Tar Heel Tillis

[brucejoel99]

This conversation is so dumb

This unfortunately hasn't really been brought up at all but my heart bleeds for Kay Hagan.

This is her (on the bottom left) as of last April, w/ then-congressional candidate Ryan Watts, who challenged incumbent Mark Walker in NC-06.



Right up to the moment she encountered the dreaded Powassan virus & encephalitis that stole her effervescent personality nearly 2 years ago now, she was a sparkling package of energy, focused on meaningful good work in her life as a public servant. Her inability to achieve this by hopefully having run against Tillis & taken her seat back b/c of her physical decline should serve as an inspiration for any potential candidate in this race.

I wouldn't wish the horror that she's going through on my worst enemy. Wishing her a good recovery!

That’s really sad. She’s completely unrecognizable now. I don’t think there’s much chance at recovery, sadly, is there?

Well, the Powassan virus did hit her pretty hard. An average of 9 Powassan virus cases a year were reported from 2007-2016, according to the CDC: 10% of Powassan encephalitis cases are fatal, & about half the survivors have permanent neurological symptoms.

Cunningham is neither a "meh" nor a "star" recruit, he’s a generic Democrat who’s lucky that he’s running in a Democratic wave year.

So, Kay Hagan 2.0

Is this a joke?

I'm not a scientist and I'm not a statistician

Well, then shut the f**k up, Thom!

[brucejoel99]

I apologize on behalf of my state for sending this moron to DC

I don't.

Polarization in 2 sentences.

Where is this 10 days quarantine is coming from? Every health expert is talking about 14.

They're gonna break quarantine early (& risk infecting innocent bystanders) so they can help ram ACB through confirmation. Count on it.
