The seat isn't going blue if either Kent or JBH wins. The idea that DIMS will vote JHB in the general isn't reality. She's not going to be rewarded for going against Trump. They'll vote DIM Perez because that's what DIMS do.

Dems won’t vote for JHB. I didn’t say they would. Independents and middle republicans will. Of which the 3rd is full of. What they won’t do is vote for Kent. The 3rd is purple and moderates tend to do well. The dem candidate hasn’t even campaigned yet. The supper pac money is going to pour in.

I know tons of people who voted for JHB but would never vote for Kent and will likely vote dem if that’s the choice.

You over estimate the power of Trump in the 3rd. There is a very loud and aggressive MAGA minority. But it’s not MAGA country. And yes, I know Trump beat Biden there.

This is not the voting record of a “de facto dem”. https://justfacts.votesmart.org/candidate/key-votes/101907/jaime-herrera-beutler

I’m not saying Kent CANT win. I’m saying if he does, the margin will be narrower than if JHB ran.

I think you're underselling the most recent hard data on the 3rd and how it votes. Trump beat Biden in the middle of the COVID bs and that was before massive inflation, the Afghanistan disaster, China bs, etc. Tell your RINO friends to shut up and sit this one out if they won't vote for Kent.

So many emotional sandy vag snowflakes about Kent. Jfc. You're all looking a lot like the Biden Bros

Imagine being trigged by someone saying a center republican will do better against a dem then a hard right republican in a purple district.

Imagine calling a corporatist a centrist and not expecting to get your shit pushed in like mello

Imagine getting a sandy vag and being an angry cunt someone suggests that the far right candidate won't do as well in the 3rd as the incumbent. Your dumb ass is acting like I'm going to die for the dem. Fuck off

@DerekJohnson is even being a cunt here as well. He's usually more measured and avoids emotional reasoning and logical fallacies. Seems like suggesting a far right platform won't appeal to a purple district is a bridge to far.

As I said. My friend who was spent 5 decades in GOP party leadership. Is an attorney (a real one) and handicaps elections as a hobby sates that given that Trump was +5 vs. Biden, he thinks Kent won't do as well against the dem but will still win. The dems are doing much better down ballot. And neither of them will hold their seat in 2026.

But I guess just stating that is a bitch move trying to appease. Some of you have lost your fucking minds.

Joe Kent isn’t Trump and isn’t far right. Trump lost the suburban white women in Vancouver. Kent won’t. His demeanor and delivery are much more palatable.

It may be close because PDX carpetbaggers keep flooding the area. I won’t be making any bold predictions for 2026.

The only person filled with emotion here seems to be you. You’ve attacked me for defending Kent and pointing out the smears against a honorable vet.

I’ve not come at you once. Take a breath man.

You're taking my critique very personally. As if you think I'm lashing out at you.

I merely stated that Trump could absolutely win it all if he gets the nomination. There is a massive backlash toward the Dems and Trump has much support. You stated that if Trump gets the nomination it will lead to a Dem victory in 2024. I have my opinion and you have yours. You said let's bet on the prez election (if he ends up with the nomination), and I said sure no problem, we can bet.

Well, you did make it personal

I’ve not come at you once. Take a breath man.

Why did you and lone star get upset and feel the need to "defend" Kent.

Whether or not he's far right isn't the question. That's the perception. He is widely seen here as just that. My original and main point is it will be a closer race if kent is the candidate. I'm not sure why that made some of you lose your shit to the point of saying if not Kent then you'd rather have then dem and lone star saying the dem would be a one term representative. Which is likely untrue looking at the past if the 3rd as well as future forecast.

I'll leave you with what my friend sent me. He's more knowledgeable than any one here about it.

Defending Kent against the smears of establishment GOP PAC's is getting upset? Come on man. By the tim Kent is running for his 3rd term, if he pulls this thing out, I'll be living in a reliable red state. Until then I want him as my Rep.

I've supported JHB in every campaign she's run except this one. Her vote for the J6th Committee helped to put a 69 y/o grandmother with cancer in prison for 2 months for walking into our Capitol. We're just supposed to ignore that? Naw. That's also why I defend Kent because he would have never cast that vote.

This is an impressive way to spin that day.

We're not talking about "that day" you dumbass. This is about ONE woman who walked in with others, was identified, and is not sitting in prison for two months. For trespassing. If you can't see that that is wrong, then you're a POS and part of the problem.

And JHB voted to jail only her? Sounds like a pretty specific line item to put in a bill.

She never thought about the overarching consequences of her vote. She was appealing to dumbfuck voters like you. HTH.

Yes. Upset. As in it stuck a nerve. My point isn't who you want or who I want. I'm just looking at the district demographics and tends and making some predictions. You're making an argument for Kent when that's not what the conversation is even about. Kent doesn't need to be defended here. My friend nailed it and I posted what he said. You got emotional and upset and started going on about Sark and 7-6. JFC.

I never mentioned Sark. Get your story straight. You’re slipping. Upvotes from @MelloDouche and Haie are the tell.

Tim for you to recalibrate. This is about Kent and the GOP establishment wanting desperately to defeat a Trump endorsed candidate.

Hell, they’ll probably fund the DIM candidate if Kent pulls this out. You talk about the future as if the GOP gives a shit. It’s all about controlling their caucus. They won’t be able to control Kent.

Is an attorney (a real one) and handicaps elections as a hobby sates that given that Trump was +5 vs. Biden, he thinks Kent won't do as well against the dem but will still win. The dems are doing much better down ballot. And neither of them will hold their seat in 2026.

But I guess just stating that is a bitch move trying to appease. Some of you have lost your fucking minds.

Joe Kent isn’t Trump and isn’t far right. Trump lost the suburban white women in Vancouver. Kent won’t. His demeanor and delivery are much more palatable.

It may be close because PDX carpetbaggers keep flooding the area. I won’t be making any bold predictions for 2026.

The only person filled with emotion here seems to be you. You’ve attacked me for defending Kent and pointing out the smears against a honorable vet.

I’ve not come at you once. Take a breath man.

Why did you and lone star get upset and feel the need to "defend" Kent.

Whether or not he's far right isn't the question. That's the perception. He is widely seen here as just that. My original and main point is it will be a closer race if kent is the candidate. I'm not sure why that made some of you lose your shit to the point of saying if not Kent then you'd rather have then dem and lone star saying the dem would be a one term representative. Which is likely untrue looking at the past if the 3rd as well as future forecast.

I'll leave you with what my friend sent me. He's more knowledgeable than any one here about it.

Defending Kent against the smears of establishment GOP PAC's is getting upset? Come on man. By the tim Kent is running for his 3rd term, if he pulls this thing out, I'll be living in a reliable red state. Until then I want him as my Rep.

I've supported JHB in every campaign she's run except this one. Her vote for the J6th Committee helped to put a 69 y/o grandmother with cancer in prison for 2 months for walking into our Capitol. We're just supposed to ignore that? Naw. That's also why I defend Kent because he would have never cast that vote.

Yes. Upset. As in it stuck a nerve. My point isn't who you want or who I want. I'm just looking at the district demographics and tends and making some predictions. You're making an argument for Kent when that's not what the conversation is even about. Kent doesn't need to be defended here. My friend nailed it and I posted what he said. You got emotional and upset and started going on about Sark and 7-6. JFC.

I never mentioned Sark. Get your story straight. You’re slipping. Upvotes from @MelloDouche and Haie are the tell.

Tim for you to recalibrate. This is about Kent and the GOP establishment wanting desperately to defeat a Trump endorsed candidate.

Hell, they’ll probably fund the DIM candidate if Kent pulls this out. You talk about the future as if the GOP gives a shit. It’s all about controlling their caucus. They won’t be able to control Kent.

You and lone star are having a completely different argument against a point I didn't make and have put together a nice strawman to go after. Enjoy

It was lone star who made the stupid Sark comment.
