New Jersey Republicans thought they’d pick up some seats in the NJ legislature by running on the same horrible platform they always have. And they lost more seats.

@WmShakesp3are Except Reagan’s GOP today no longer exists at least one that is receptive to his ideas. Maybe he would have morphed into the #GOP mutants running their train wreck today. 🤔
@Huntn00 Lincoln yes, Reagan I doubt. He would be a true Republican, similar to Romney or Bill Weld, as opposed to what the party has become (i.e. a haven for fascists).

@WmShakesp3are Lincoln and Reagan today would be Independents or Democrats…🤔

On this date, in 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected president. At that time, he was representative of, at least part, of the Republican Party.

Were he alive today, he would be both outraged and astonished at what his party has become and the evil it constitutes in our society.

How to close the partisan divide:

Beshear & Presley, the surging underdog Dem in MS, have shown that their party’s brand can be detoxified on hostile terrain with a focus on jobs, education & HC & by intensely personal campaigns that encourage voters to forget culture wars & partisan loyalties. In his Covid briefings: "He came across as the gubernatorial version of Mr Rogers.” His response to floods in E KY & tornadoes in the west reinforced this image.

Will Kentucky’s Andy Beshear show Democrats how to win Trump Country?

The high-stakes Nov. 7 governor’s race will either give Dems a new playbook or hand Republicans more power.
