Oh yeah, Herschel's running isn't he? They definitely aren't sending their best and brightest.
Seems the R policy is to do their best to throw easily winnable races by sending out utter clowns for the sole reason that they kissed up to Trump at the right time to get his support. Got a super-prog like Warnock in Georgia of all places, send out a barely articulate former NFLer who has a full laundry load of red flags. Got a dude coming off a stroke in Pennsylvania, send out a quack TV doctor whose idea of a "gotcha" post is to ramble about how much it costs to serve crudite. Basically turned Ohio from a battleground state to a fairly red one, send out a dude who wrote a book and did a 180 on his opinion of Trump the second he realized that not liking him was going to make him an afterthought to a cranky boomer (Gibbons) and a creepy looking guy whose entire platform was "You remember I served in the military, don't you!?!?" (Mandel).
It's all gotten to the point where I don't even know what anyone's endgame is. Is it a race to see which side can have more unqualified morons holding office? Because as self-defeating (and, well, just defeating to everyone else) as that is, it makes more sense than anything else looking at a lot of these fucks.
