Place, so i think it s too surprising that when we look at the polling now, we find that on a long list of candidates if you give multiple options to the membership, they tend to coalesce around boris johnson. 0ur they tend to coalesce around boris johnson. our latest figures show that a third of the party would have him as their number one preference. rishi sunak is not far behind. he is on 25% the last time we checked with the membership. so it would be a tight race. but at the moment, if it did go to a membership contest, if indeed borisjohnson does get to 100 nominations by the close of play on monday, then it would be a very tough fight for rishi sunak to win that and beatjohnson with the membership. that and beat johnson with the membership- that and beat johnson with the membership. that and beat johnson with the membershi-. , ., , , , membership. does that surprise you? well, we membership. does that surprise you? well. we know membership. does that surprise you? well, we kn ....
Republicans have been expressing about how he ll hold up as a candidate. looking at a 50/50 senate, you have competitive/potentially competitive senate races here. the way i look at it is this. if you re republicans, your three best offensive targets are georgia, arizona, and nevada. these are three democratic-held seats, where i think republicans at least on paper right now, have their best chance of making gains. you flip that around, and democrats, if they want to hold on to the senate, keep it 50/50, keep having kamala harris able to break those ties, two things to keep. pennsylvania is their clearly best target here. republican held, but an open seat state that joe biden won in 2020, huge opportunity there for democrats. i think the key for democrats is wisconsin. ron johnson, two-term incumbent. twice democrats have gone into the general election, thinking they re going to beat johnson. twice, they ve lost. if they could beat him in 2022, i think that could shift the math in thei ....
The few republicans in 2016 who outperformed at the top of the ticket. he got 70,000 more votes than donald trump here in wisconsin in 2016. so mark, as much as democrats would like personally to beat johnson, does him running again make it more challenging for them to pick up that seat? he can also spend a lot of his own money. yeah. as charles was saying, it s an incredibly competitive seat, but you re right. what ron johnson gives republicans is a sure thing. on the democratic side, we re seeing a free for all democratic primary. and ron johnson says look, i m not running for reelection, i m not running for another term, it would create a free for all republican party. so the republicans are foregoing what would be a very open and combative primary race, but we are going to be assured of yet another polarized and incredibly competitive race in wisconsin and another general election. is it better for democrats if ....
Character will die. it will die every time a kid asks if he is so much against vietnam, how come he is putting party above principle. he went through everything he could not to run. he said with ted sorensen and he went over the meet with the new secretary of defense secretly at the pentagon, trying to work out some kind of commission that would be a soft landing for johnson s war policy. some way johnson could use it, that they could agree to change the policy. pull back from the hawks. and at the end, johnson wouldn t go along with it and he had to announce. he did not the want to have to run. the reason i don t think he wanted to run was what you just talked about in the introduction. bobby wanted to replace his brother jack as president. he wanted to come in. bring back the new frontier. begin to work on all the things jack had worked on. everything. he knew he had it in 72. it would be handed to him. it would be easy. all the party regulars would say, bobby, it s now your t ....
