Taking the Senate should be A#1 priority

We cannot count on Joe taking the WH, but with a D controlled House and Senate we could remove the orange POS via impeachment.

So as a contingency plan, taking the Senate should be a priority.

Moscow Mitch has ruined the Senate. His leadership has been shameful. And the repub senate members proved themselves complicit in that by abdicating their oaths of office during the impeachment trial.

Vote senate repubs out!

67 Senators are needed to remove an impeached President. We will be lucky to get a majority at all. Even if we won every contest where Republican Senators are vulnerable and somehow manages to keep Jones in Alabama we wouldn’t be anywhere near 67.

Focus on winning the Presidency.
