She’d probably pull from Spellman more, but definitely Westra the next most.

If New Cob's GOP guy is a 1) a Republican, 2) not overly problematic, 3) with some experience, and perhaps most importantly, 4) pro-Medicaid expansion, I frankly don't see a way a Democrat could win. I mean, I guess an even more conservative Dem could win but it would be incredibly difficult and likely undercut natural Democratic support.

I can make him more problematic, I do need to make him less of a sue as Sana said, right now I'm adding it in that he can't keep it in is pants and how that's a really open secret to the point where he's had a sex scandal in the past while in office. I could also add in something about the Confederacy too if you think that's not overdone.

Also, I think Kelvi said he was gonna make the Dem nom in the race

It's not too bad, I mean, it's just that he's a Republican in a Republican heavy state.

Ahh, I forgot!

If the above convo interests, you could make the Democratic candidate for Mississippi governor.

Probably would be a conservative Dem of course.

I’ll put it on my radar, but wait for Murphy to fall a bit more so that there’s a better reason for her to jump in.

Lol yeah I have no expectation of her winning and she’d probably drop out once a progressive candidate was firmly in the lead...

That's most for the Presidential race, state races are usually much less intense.

Proposing an Amendment to the Constitution of the United States to Forbid the Desecration of the Flag of the United States of America
The Defense of the American Flag Amendment



Sponsored by: Representative Katherine Edwards (R-GA-3)
Co-sponsored by: Representative Thomas Volker (R-MO-8)




Overview: The resolution herein is a proposal to amend the Constitution of the United States of America with the intention to protect the Flag of the United States of America, the supreme symbol of the United States both domestically and overseas, from acts of desecration - such as burning - by affording to the Federal Congress, and to the governments of the several states, and the Federal District, and the several territories of the United States such power as to legislate for the prohibition of the physical desecration of the Flag of the United States of America.

Section I: Despite the sincere work of the state and territorial governments of the several states and territories of the United States of America in order to protect the Flag of the United States of America from physical desecration, it is understood that in the cases Texas v. Johnson and United States v. Eichman it was the legal opinion of the Rehnquist Court, and thus the precedent in law, that the physical desecration of the Flag of the United States of America was and is protected by the freedom of expression guaranteed by the First Amendment. This amendment seeks to provide a justifiable caveat on the basis that it is the sense of Congress, and the states subsequently ratifying this Amendment, that the physical desecration of the Flag of the United States of America is an act of gross offensiveness not worthy of the protection of the Constitution.

Section II: Thus, Congress shall have the power to prohibit the physical desecration of the Flag of the United States of America, and to entail federal criminal penalties therein for the act of doing so.

Section III: And thus, the several states, the Federal District, and the territories of the United States of America shall have the power to prohibit the physical desecration of the Flag of the United States of America, and to entail local criminal penalties therein for the act of doing so.

Section IV: Neither Congress, nor the several states, nor the Federal District, nor the territories of the United States, shall construe any such section within this amendment to prevent the appropriate disposal of the Flag of the United States of America, by dignified burning as so recommended by the United States Flag Code.

This resolution is then honorably presented to the U.S. House of Representatives for consideration in order to protect the Flag of the United States of America, and to improve the United States Law, and is backed by Representative Katherine Edwards.

Oh for sure. Of course, I’ve realized that she’s screwed in the primary anyway. Might as well have her die on the free speech hill and actually have it mean something.

Hmm maybe I should focus on building more big speeches like the Charleston one.

EDIT: I love cobbling together these speeches using mere paragraphs, honestly. Helps make more original material without as much effort.
