Senate control could come down to Alaska. Can Republicans really refuse to certify or seat Mary Peltola if she wins? Probably not. But they sure can gum things up.
The media constantly adds -gate to anything, even total nothingburgers (anyone remember the right trying to take down Clinton with Filegate and Travelgate and Troopergate?), but remember the Brooks Brothers riot? How about Iran/Contra?
Those ended up as blips essentially, and the conservatives never ever paid the full cost - or basically paid no cost - for any of those. So of course they amped up to J6, and even got away with it.
