35. What the hell happened in NY with Santos?

Fri Jan 13, 2023, 02:34 PM

Jan 2023

Given how tight margins are in Congress, why was Santos not a huge issue in the election?

Was there any discussion by DSCC leadership about what went wrong with Santos? There should be discussion.

Santos is in your backyard. Why didn't you warn DU?

Realize your post is talking about the Senate not the House.

Who does the DSCC favor to replace Feinstein?

Why is Sinema on the list, she's no longer a Democrat? MagickMuffin Jan 2023 #2

IF Sinema wins the D Primary she has to be supported... brooklynite Jan 2023 #11

I agree. Need a strong candidate to run against her in the primary if there is a chance. LiberalFighter Jan 2023 #15

Are there no Democrats that can run against her? Autumn Jan 2023 #16

Yes, there will be. Elessar Zappa Jan 2023 #18

Yet DSCC leadership according to the OP is supporting her. Autumn Jan 2023 #20

I don't think that's correct. Elessar Zappa Jan 2023 #21

According to the OP she's a second tier seat to protect. Autumn Jan 2023 #28

Maybe that's assuming she wins the primary? Elessar Zappa Jan 2023 #29

I would, too, if I lived in her state. calimary Jan 2023 #42

Agreed. But I think a serious challanger would beat her in a primary n/t Tom Rinaldo Jan 2023 #23

Agree but Hogan just said he is considering Presidential run. (Local tv) Maggiemayhem Jan 2023 #33

What the hell happened in NY with Santos? PufPuf23 Jan 2023 #35
