      Could also be ominous for the American republic, I'd add.https://twitter.com/alexburnsNYT/status/1526000365258346496 …

      far-right senate candidates get more attention, but the emergence of Jensen for gov in MN, along with Mastriano in PA and Bailey in IL, is potentially really ominous for Rs in some of the biggest Midwestern gov races https://twitter.com/PopulismUpdates/status/1525999466997616641 …

      The idea that nominating far right extremists hurts the GOP electorally is something that guides a lot of reporting (and Dem campaign strategy). But the evidence for it is, at best, ambiguous, especially in the long run.

          Well it might be true if there were independently administered elections but that’s not the case

          There are so many far right extremists already in office. It seems like the more extreme they are the more likely to be elected. This strategy makes no sense.

          Republicans managed to lose a handful of winnable Senate races in the last decade (I count… four maybe?), so let’s ignore the broader implications of where the right is going and cheer on the monsters in the GOP primaries.

          Republicans give their base what they want and it motivates turnout. Go figure.

          Only really happens if there is some kind of spectacularly bad incident related to their extremism (like that MO senate race a few years back…)

          pete wilson and prop 187 quickly ended the gop as a viable state level party in ca nearly 30 years ago, but in practice all it meant was the business class republicans just started running as democrats
