This is the most out of touch thing I've read in a long time. His advisors clearly haven't worked a race in quite a few decades. "Mitch Daniels’ advisers expect him to have upwards of $50 million on the first day of his campaign."

US President Biden declared on Wednesday that “the United States will be sending 31 Abrams tanks to Ukraine”.
In March 2022 he compared the idea of sending ‘offensive equipment’ for Ukraine to “World War 3”.

You know when a Senator or House member understands what the RNC does? When said campaign’s mail budget exceeds their cash and the RPD comes in and says, “we have $$ for your AB mail”. Then they fall in love with the RNC.
Quote Tweet
It’s true that the role of the RNC has changed in a post-Super PAC world, but ask the senators who’ve allowed their ground game to atrophy over the years and suddenly find themselves in a tight race what the RNC does twitter.com/jmart/status/1…

If you are struggling this season like many Illini fans, read this. Won't make you feel any better, but it's well thought out.

Haven't written anything since Friday. This is just a really difficult season to write about. Feels like I'm in a different frame of mind compared to everyone else.
I tried to explain it here: illiniboard.com/story/2023/1/2
But wait, I watched every network nightly anchor lay out why this was Republicans suppressing the vote? And every news outlet on this social media platform. Weird.

Unsurprisingly, Congressional Repubs don't seem to know what the Revised Criminal Code Act actually does. But that isn't stopping them from interfering in local affairs.
In reality, all the RCCA does is make common sense modernizations to promote proportionality & rationality. twitter.com/TheArtist_MBS/…
