Move Over, Sharron Angle

This isn't Nevada, however.  This is in Oregon, which is vastly more blue than the purple Nevada, but a crackpot has won the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by incumbent Jeff Merkley.  She is beyond the pale with her support of the nonsensical QAnon bullshit widely peddled by conspiracy theorists on the internet.

Perkins won a four-way race for the party’s Senate nomination, earning just short of 50 percent of the vote. Former naval officer Paul Romero finished second with 30 percent. Perkins will face off with incumbent Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley in the general election on November 3, which Merkley is expected to win.

Nevertheless, her victory — which came by a significant margin — is emblematic of the conspiracy theory’s influence among conservative voters, as is the way Perkins highlighted it in her victory speech.

Fortunately, the population in the Willamette Valley and the Portland area will put a major damper on Perkins' chances.  The vast majority of Oregonians live in those areas, from Eugene on north, and the areas are heavily Democratic.  I don't think Perkins would win in wingnut Jackson County--hell, I don't think she is able to win a single county in the state even in the even more redneck eastern part of Oregon.

Merkley will win re-election in a walk.
