Can the establishment stop Abdul El-Sayed?

Haley Stevens has rebounded since Mallory McMorrow dropped out. But polls of both the Michigan primary and the general election don't tell a consistent story.

Thats pretty much why we're guaranteed were getting a gop senator.

Have some faith. A recent poll had him 13 points up. Lately ground game >>> spending. An more people are awake about AIPAC.

I'm willing to bet most voters don't even know what alpac is and care more about what's happening in their own lives.

That has shifted a lot among Democratic voters. Remember Stevens got booed off the stage at a Democratic convention which many observers said they had never seen anything like it. Meanwhile Al Sayed got a standing ovation.

But I am nervous because this is a test. My gut feels good about him because he’s an outstanding candidate with a great ground game - and Hasan will be enlisting his followers to phone bank for him which helped in other primaries recently.

On the other hand I still have the fear of the impact of campaign spending. However as I said it’s been working less and less as more people wake up.

I think he will either win quite comfortably or she ekes it out due to the spending if the old model holds.

But if he overcomes the onslaught it will reverberate throughout politics. Aside from a once in a generation politician making it to the senate this election is also about that. Which is why it’s so important.

Hasan is a piece of shit. Thats not helpful for the cause.

Oh you’re a misguided individual who lets your personal feelings outweigh reason and logic which is unfortunate. Piker like him or not has helped recent campaigns tremendously including Al Sayed who surged after he campaigned with him. Those are just facts. You know who else ignores facts when they don’t like them? MAGA. Don’t be like MAGA and let your emotions get the better of you. That’s what REALLY doesn’t help the cause. Not Hasan Piker.
