It probably comes down to what you call an average housewife. If you are talking a rural white mother, then absolutely yes, your statement is true. If you are talking an inner-city white mother, then decidedly no. The deciding tilt comes from the suburban moms. A good chunk of the reason why Trump lost in 2020 was a significant amount of suburban women voted Democrat.
November this year will very telling along that demographic.
I think married women is one of the few female groups that lean slightly towards the GOP. Single women is where they get smashed. Not surprisingly women want a Daddy to take care of them. It's either trick Murt into having sex with them, marry a great looking MAGA gent, or vote for Daddy government to take other people's money.
Ossoff hype seems so inorganic. Guy is a back bencher. How is he being floated as a Presidential nominee? This seemingly sprung up in the last month. I’m not conspiratorial, but it’s like he’s being seeded by the “powers that be”.
He’s thoroughly untested and unvetted on the national stage. Already put his foot in his mouth this week with his Natalie comments.
I will give him this. He seems like a normal dude. Which are in short supply in the Democratic Party these days.
We’ll see. Democrats certainly could do worse.
And Butch is such a moron. No one is trouncing Vance in a debate. I don’t even really like Vance, but his rhetorical skills are pretty unmatched among the current political leadership in this country. The guy with the mumbo jumbo poly sci degrees is going to embarrass the Yale Law grad and best selling author? Good grief, Bowl is a moron.
It seems inorganic because, at least partially, it is. I'm sure there are some genuine Ossoff fans out there, but a lot of the hype is coming from strategists who are trying to prop up potential moderates so the race doesn't get going with only progressives as front-runners.

The Kommie channel loves him. He's getting all kinds of face time there. They love his Trump bashing.
Dems have a good bench. Ossoff, Beshear, Kelly, Shapiro... certainly could be others. AOC or any of that crowd aren't going to get the nomination, Murt's insistence notwithstanding.
This has been where my thinking is. I won't really feel confident until well after the midterms, but I feel like the eventual Democratic nominee will be someone in your second sentence. Or at least someone like them.
He would never govern as a moderate. It doesn't matter what he truly believes. It doesn't matter what he promises to do. Day 1 the border is opening wide up. Woke stuff, DEI, wealth confiscation, etc. There is no moderate Democrat. Even Fetterman votes with the crazies every time.
It's hard saying at this point, but I'd guess he'd govern more like Obama, who turned out to be pretty moderate. If someone like Ossoff had two terms similar to Obama's I think there would be a lot to like about where we'd be as a country.
I wouldn't so easily dismiss her. She arrived in Congress ( after beating a powerful Dem incumbent) as a moronic, loudmouth, curiosity. Since then she has only become more mainstream, influential, and powerful. She hasn’t gotten any smarter, but now she is the kind of politician who will be sought for an endorsement if she isn’t the candidate. I can’t imagine any Democrat being nominated whom she opposes.
The media loves her and she craves the attention. She shows she has staying power and is a force.
You're right that she's front and center as far as media attention is concerned. I don't know how powerful she is. She's made a name for herself, but it's probably more in the vein of people like Bernie Sanders and Newt Gingrich. She'll probably continue to get media coverage and be a prominent political voice over the next several years - and she might even be in a Democratic primary - but I don't think she'd ever be the Democratic nominee.
I hope not. We are paying dearly for Obama’s infatuation with the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran, and for the “Affordable” Care Act.
Obama was handed a lousy economy and did a good job of navigating the country out of that. He also governed mostly as a moderate. I'm not sure what you mean when you say "Obama's infatuation with the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran."
I didn’t vote for him in the primary and I won’t vote for him in the general. @aloha-hoosier I have no clue what is position is on the 2020 election. Other things are more important.
It doesn’t make much sense to be a Republican in Colorado these days. We keep nominating clowns. We do have a decent senate candidate, but he is entirely a nobody. I really like Hickenlooper though.
The Dems nominated a DSA moron for Congress. I’m in her district
