Get a load of this fucking loser. He says “come Jan 3rd, you will regret ever putting your name on a ballot.” “We’ll expose you like the communists you are.” Republicans truly have ZERO self awareness.

The Electoral College is why a farmer in Iowa matters as much as a banker in Manhattan. Anybody trying to scrap it doesn't want a fairer system. They want you to stop mattering.

Another fun fact about @RevAdamHamilton victory in Kansas is that he will be the first senator of either party from Johnson County in 54 years since Republican James Pearson won his reelection bid in 1972. Crazy because JoCo has been one of the most populous and richest counties in Kansas over the same period of time. Really goes to show how much the county influences state politics, especially with the Governor-elect also being from there.

We meet again, my most cherished friend, my most bitter enemy. We meet again.

Dear Kansas conservatives: if we lose the senate race in Kansas we most likely lose the majority in the Senate. It could all come down to that stark reality. Sometimes in politics it’s not about a coronation but just cold reality. Vote Republican tomorrow even those of you who are hurting. If you don’t it will all get much worse. Your message of frustration has been heard loudly and clearly.

I traveled all around Kansas for 4 days. Adam Hamilton has the more formidable ground game, more excitement, more money, and is just a better candidate. prospect.org/2026/10/30/adam…

let's not forget who we *really* have to thank for this world series victory: missouri senator stuart symington, who coerced MLB into giving seattle a team before they were ready so that the royals could start play sooner, forcing the pilots to later move to a city that was ready

Erin Burnett: “trump won kansas by what?” Harry Enten: “16 points.” Erin Burnett: “that was in 2024.” Harry Enten: “correct.” Erin Burnett: “and kansas has not had a democratic senator in—” Harry Enten: “it has not elected one since 1932.” Erin Burnett: “ok. ok. so if the democrats flip kansas and overcome those two things, is that a game over scenario broadly?” Harry Enten: “yeah, i mean, look, let's just take a look at where we are right now in terms of the senate races and sort of where we see things are at this point. look, democrats have 47 seats that are either leaning or likely to be their way at the end of this election cycle. republicans have 46. look at what is in yellow in your toss-up on there. it is kansas. kansas, a state that hasn't gone democratic in the united states senate race since 1932. now, you mentioned it, erin. what does a dem senate win in kansas mean? well, it probably does mean it's game over for the republicans. and game on for the democrats. take a look here. a dem win in kansas gives democrats a 90% chance, roughly therein, about chance of winning the united states senate. why is that? because if you put kansas in blue, look at this. what do democrats need to do in order to get that 51 seats to a majority? well, they can win in maine, which, of course, kamala harris won. win in michigan, that barack obama won, and excuse me, and joe biden won. win in ohio, which sherrod brown, of course, won during the first trump midterm back in 2018. and what does that do? that gets you to democrats' 51 seats and a majority. that's why kansas is so important. you don't even need texas in that scenario. you don't even need texas. that would get you to 52.” Erin Burnett: “all right, so republicans say— now, you and i were just talking about this in the commercial break. when you look at where j.d. vance is tonight, you look at where donald trump is tonight, the actions speak louder than the words, ok? so they can say they don't— the polls are bunk, but they're putting their time in deep red states, what should be deep red states. however, republicans will say the polls are undercounting. republicans, they've done that in the past. they've been wrong. so if that's the case, ok, can you game it out?” Harry Enten: “yeah, if, in fact, the polls do underestimate republicans, well, you know, we can turn— we can turn texas back red. how about kansas red? how about we make ohio red? these are, of course, all states that donald trump won back in 2024. how about maine, where the polls have underestimated susan collins back in the past, especially the case in 2020? or how about michigan, right? and let's say abdul el-sayed loses to mike rogers. look, there is definitely a pathway for republicans to win if, in fact, we see the polling errors that we have seen in presidential years that would, in fact, give republicans a clear pathway to a majority.” Erin Burnett: “right, and then you might have it then again. alaska, where they've already filed that preemptive lawsuit, would not be— would not—” Harry Enten: “right, it wouldn't even matter. but, you know, if you give them those states that donald trump won, that gets them— they could easily get the 53 seats.” Erin Burnett: “ok, all right, so tell me— tell me something i don't know. all this talk about undercounting the republicans, did it happen in the 2022—” Harry Enten: “ok, this is, i think, the key nugget here. and this is the key nugget here. and that is, do the polls necessarily underestimate republicans? well, take a look here. i went back and looked at the last midterm election, right? that was back in 2022. if you look at the close races, who was underestimated? erin, i'll tell you something you don't know. and that is the democrats were, in fact, underestimated if you look at the final polling average in 100% of the races. so, in fact, it was democrats during the last midterm in the trump era. democrats were the ones who were underestimated. so instead of looking like a map like this, you may look at a map like this, with democrats at 54.” Erin Burnett: “which is really incredible when you say, because polls change constantly, right? so people could be remembering polls from august or whatever it might have been ahead of the midterms you're talking about. let's look at this week. if we look at this week, right now, democrats, to me, the polling average put them in a position to get a majority. we'll see if those polls are right. or if they're biased, they may be unbiased. and democrats may, in fact, be undercounted.”

A vote for Adam Hamilton is a vote for Democrats in control of the U.S. Senate. It's that simple.
