IN-SEN: Brains or Braun?

[Holy Unifying Centrist]

A little old news here, but Rokita is skipping the final debate. I still firmly believe that Todd is the weakest potential opponent to Donnelly and this stunt only confirms it

I think Messer is without question

They're both worse than Braun at the moment, but I tend to view Rokita as more likely to underperform in Indianapolis and Fort Wayne and their suburbs.

After seeing Saccone and Gillespie go down in flames in the burbs, I’m not sure it matters who Republicans run. Their perceived difference in appeal in the suburbs will be negligible. Messe rwould be a much easier opponent to paint as an out of touch asshole DC elite in the rural areas.

I think people aren't realizing that most Trump approvers are voting for republicans and most Trump disapprovers are voting democrat. Doubly so in federal races.

Conor Lamb got 5% of Trump approvers and Rick Saccone got 3% of Trump disapprovers. Very little crossover. And Lamb did a ton to distance himself from the national dem party.

The good news for these democrats in heavy Trump states is that Trump's approval has plummeted in a lot of them.

Rokita used to be a Never-Trumper. Messer isn't gonna let him off the hook for it.

This primary is such a sh!tshow.

I think Braun will win because of the ad he did comparing the two. Rotika and Messer are just flinging poop at each other. This primary could look like Russ Feingold's primary win.

Eh, not really, that's just politics. The first debate between the 3 was very civil.

Rotika's 30 second dogwhistle primary ad is one of the worst ads I've ever seen.

I currently think that the Republicans will beat one of the Trump state incumbents, and I could see Braun being the only R gain.

I'd give it to Jenkins before Braun, but if Morrissey or god forbid Blankensh!t wins, then Braun is the most likely.

How did Mike raise taxes?

[Holy Unifying Centrist]

Does anyone else have a hard time telling Messer and Rokita apart?

mike braun literally did an ad about this

probably the best republican ad i've seen this cycle

[Holy Unifying Centrist]

Yeah I think Braun would beat Donnelly by around 2, whereas Donnelly beats Messer by 3 and Rotika by 6

[Holy Unifying Centrist]

Lol that republican can't stand the thought of Braun being even remotely moderate (even though he has been campaigning as a conservative and has a voting record in Indiana).

[Holy Unifying Centrist]

Republicans only leading 56-44 in early votes when the hottest primary in the country is the Republican Senate contest? Yikes.

As always, Limo, we should be careful reading too much into primary votes - especially early votes.

Yeah... looking into primary votes itself is misleading... but looking into the early votes of the primaries is even worse.

GOP outvoted 2-1 in AZ-08 then only narrowly won.

And in Virginia, dems outvoted GOP 2-1 in the governor primaries, but then only won by 9.

Mustache man got close to winning the gov race in 2012 and 2016

I am proud to have voted against both outsider businessmen in the 2016 election (republican Donald Trump and democrat Jim Barksadale)

I like my politicians to be actual politicians... granted Braun actually does have experience in a legislature, so he is acceptable.
