Yeah. The thing is that Thomas Massie would be amongst the favorites and they will stop at nothing to keep him away from any power.
Won't he just win in Nov then ? I mean I guess a month.or two is time to get some stuff voted through but is it really worth all this cover up ?
The way I understand it, which is vaguely, Massie already lost the primary or something so he can't run in the regular election. But he could run in a special election, which would divide the republican base and help a democrat to win.
It is convoluted though, and beyond my limited comprehension of political complexities. Republicans tend to be very underhanded like this though, so republican-controlled states have convoluted laws which enable them to do these kinds of shenanigans.
Thank you
That makes sense
In their opinion, it clearly is.
I guess they have some really nefarious stuff they wish to force through before possibly losing the majority and don't think Massey would go for it.
