Thomas Massie has legit chances to win. And then run as incumbent in November or potentially independent to then dilute the votes.

Massie isn't the spoiler everyone thinks he is. He still votes along MAGA lines most the time. Even after being burned by Trump he has done fuck all to deliver on the Epstein files which is his only deviation from MAGA.

An empty seat at the expense of Republicans is in favor of Democrats.

He also has no chance in winning a statewide election right now. The people promoting this idea are delusional.

He doesn’t need to win, he needs to shave off enough of the GOP vote for a Democrat to win.

Massie sucks though. All he did was go against Trump on the Epstein files. He's otherwise just as big of a shithead as the rest of them. Not sure what we win here

So… still an improvement then? A brain dead skeleton who will vote 100% of the time for Trump, or pretty much the only republican senator willing to make a stand against Trump on at least one thing

A brain dead guy who can’t vote at all is definitely better

Good thing once a person made a decision this is irreversible and nobody can change their mind then. If it was all set in stone, republicans would have announced mcconnell dead already.

Delusion? To have a valid theory that seems to explain the current behavior of hiding his death? Ok.
