Not sure who was running their campaign but they’re a day late and a dollar short. We could have told them that 3 months ago…idiots!

Yeah, the big problem is that after Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Org (the case that overturned Row v. Wade), Jenson got on the radio and gave all sorts of extremist quotes (which the opposition probably took out of context) that played over and over and over and over again before the election.

If someone asked him, would you ban abortion?  He should have said, as Governor, I can't ban abortion.
But would you if you could?  As Governor, I can't ban abortion.

Instead, right after the Dobbs decision, Pro Life GOP-ers were giddy with the possibility of pressing the abortion issue as a key agenda item in the upcoming midterm election, when all GOP-ers probably should have been solely focused on the economy.

And oh, by the way...  Don't think that this wasn't on the minds of the Pro Choice/Abortionists who leaked the Supreme Court decision BEFORE the election - a clear benefit to the Dems to mobilize the Pro Choice/Abortionist vote.
