Title: The Democrat Mid-Term Massacre of 2018 is Going To Be AMAZING!!!
Post by: polychronopolous on November 09, 2016, 01:34:08 PM
The Democrat Party hates white folks.

White folks come out in droves during mid-terms.

Even more so for Trump.

Will bump this thread in 2 years.

This is a movement like you've never seen before.

2018 - Democrats get taken to the woodshed by a much whiter and very dedicated mid-term electorate.

2020 - 4 more years of these hilarious memes cracking on loser millennial Hillary supporters and SJWs just becoming funnier with higher and higher quality being pasted all over the internet and social media.

And it's all being headed by DONALD FREAKING TRUMP - a man with some of the best mic skills EVER who has the ability to punk the media like nobody we have ever seen.

What a fantastic time to be alive!

Rasmussen: 68 GOP House Seats at Risk
By Mark Swanson    |   Thursday, 22 Mar 2018

House Republicans are at risk of losing 68 seats in November in a potential bloodbath that could mirror their own wave in the 2010 midterms, according to political analyst Scott Rasmussen.

Democrats need to flip just 23 seats to regain the majority in the House.

Rasmussen's breakdown of the at-risk GOP-held seats:

28 Republican seats are at a high level of risk.
14 are "moderately competitive" and lean Republican.
26 others could be at risk depending on the "political environment" in the fall.

"Given that midterm election dynamics typically favor the party out of power, all 20 GOP seats rated as toss-ups or tilting in the Democratic direction could easily flip from R to D in November. Adding to the challenge for Republicans is that there are very few opportunities for GOP gains. Only two Democratic seats are rated as toss-ups," Rasmussen writes.

Rasmussen's assessment confirms reporting by John Gizzi, chief political columnist and White House correspondent for Newsmax, in the wake of Conor Lamb's victory in western Pennsylvania that Republicans could be staring down a loss of 60 seats in the House.

However, Rasmussen says that Republicans' tax cuts and the civil war raging within the Democratic party could stem the blue wave this November, noting that a "good night" means losing 15-20 seats but maintaining a slight majority.

"On the other hand, there’s a lot of potential upside for the Democrats. With 68 Republican seats at risk, Nancy Pelosi’s team can dream of a victory as big as the Republican gains in 2010," Rasmussen writes.

I expect democrats to beat them pretty badly. The lines are blurred so much between the two parties that there isn't much voter "juice" towards republicans and the democrats have their dander up.

I heard the average loss is about 20 seats for the party in power so expect more then that considering the circumstances (especially if this joke of a spending bill passes).

Rand Paul went crazy on tweeting what all the unnecessary spending was (scholarships for Egypt, promotion of democracy in Europe etc.)

I hope not, but you are probably right.  Nancy Pelosi back as Speaker of the House?  Maxine Waters and those other flunkies as committee chairs?  Sad that we even face that kind of prospect.

After the signing of that bill, I'm not so sure. But unlike Obama that signed a bigger one and ended up pissing it away like his own personal bank account, I'm hoping Trump will allocate the funds for the right reasons. If he did dupe the left, Ryan and McConnell and will use part of those military $$$ to fund the wall, we will retain it. But we got fucked on everything else. For one, the $500bil to Planned Parent Hood should have been defunded and hopefully will be in the future.

Haha well I would say I felt about an 8 to 8.5 about Trump's chances pre-election and about a 6.5 on this one.

Trump's aggregate poll numbers are rising, the economy is very solid, stock market up, progress seems to have been made with North Korea, he is Teflon when it comes to the media attempting to slander him(the recent flop Stormy Daniels attempted hit piece is proof of that).

The Omnibus situation probably hurts him a bit but that will be 8 months in the rear view mirror come election time.

The Republicans already have a decent lead in the House plus the Democrats will be defending a significant amount of red seats in the Senate.

I could be completely wrong on this but when you take all that into account, I like the Republicans chances.

I realize I will be skewered by the cowardly lurkers who follow me around on here, but it's all good, I kind of like the heat.  8)

True, but you also will not have the national attention on each individual race as we've also experienced.

Plus Trump is a work horse who will be out there campaigning hard to rally the troops. Likely using the prospect of a Speaker Pelosi as motivation to show up. And nobody can sell in that environment quite like he can, especially with her as a target to that base.

When it's all said and done, just avoiding becoming swept is an accomplishment in it's own right.

I agree on the final point.

However, given the cyclical nature of things, coupled with the over the top amount of cynicism and hate, it feels like the GOP will lose this round.

Who knows thought, polls said HRC was 98%, etc.....

But I do feel both the Dems and GOP have failed to establish the next set of leaders, and the GOP is wasting opportunity in many areas they could be successful in if they weren't so tone deaf.

He should have taken the opportunity he was given to really change things.

He should have run to the center and commanded both parties to cut the shit and get things done.

None of these links show Congress thought Planned Parenthood selling body parts was fake.  You must have thought I wasn't actually going to read them?   ::)

And why didn't you include this one? 

Planned Parenthood under investigation by Justice Department over sale of fetal tissue
Brooke Singman By Brooke Singman,   Jake Gibson   | Fox News

Department of Justice looking into the organizations alleged selling of human fetal tissues.

The Justice Department has launched a federal investigation into Planned Parenthood’s practices and the sale of fetal tissue.

In a letter first obtained by Fox News, Justice Department Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs Stephen Boyd formally requested unredacted documents from the Senate Judiciary Committee, the same panel that led the congressional probe into the women’s health organization.

“The Department of Justice appreciates the offer of assistance in obtaining these materials, and would like to request the Committee provide unredacted copies of records contained in the report, in order to further the Department’s ability to conduct a thorough and comprehensive assessment of that report based on the full range of information available,” Boyd wrote.

Fox News has learned that last month, the FBI first requested the unredacted documents from the committee.

Fox News is told that Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said they needed to receive a letter and be assured that the documents would be used for investigative purposes.

The letter, sent to Grassley and Feinstein on Thursday, is a rare confirmation by the Justice Department of a federal investigation.

Trump says government will maintain funding if Planned Parenthood stops abortions services
“At this point, the records are intended for investigative use only—we understand that a resolution from the Senate may be required if the Department were to use any of the unredacted materials in a formal legal proceeding, such as a grand jury,” Boyd also wrote.

A spokesman for the committee told Fox News on Friday that they received the Department's "official request for unredacted copies of its 2016 report and we will work to cooperate fully."

In that final report entitled “Human Fetal Tissue Research: Context and Controversy” published in December 2016, Grassley referred Planned Parenthood and other providers to the FBI for investigation.

Grassley said at the time that the committee has discovered enough evidence that shows how abortion providers had transferred fetal tissue and body parts from aborted fetuses for research by charging amounts higher than they actually cost.

“The report documents the failure of the Department of Justice, across multiple administrations, to enforce the law that bans the buying and selling of human fetal tissue,” Grassley wrote last December urging the Justice Department and FBI to investigate. “It also documents substantial evidence suggesting that the specific entities involved in the recent controversy, and/or individuals employed by those entities, may have violated that law.”

Tucker and the executive vice president and chief brand officer of Planned Parenthood debate the GOP's health care plan's intent to cut funding over abortion services and its potential impact on the organization and women nationwide #TuckerVideo
Planned Parenthood EVP: No one will bully, bribe us
Feinstein, however, said in a statement Friday that the 2016 report was only presented to the "majority," meaning the Republicans on the committee.

"I hope that there isn't a partisan purpose in taking this action and that the department handles the chairman's request in a professional and ethical manner," Feinstein said in a statement.

The now-federal investigation comes after a 2015 undercover investigation by activists David Daleiden, leader of the pro-life Center for Medical Progress, and Sandra Merritt, an employee of the group, who both posed as fetal researchers and made undercover videos of themselves trying to buy fetal tissue from Planned Parenthood.

The recorded conversations included officials from Planned Parenthood and StemExpress, a California company that provides blood, tissue and other biological material for medical research and has received fetal tissue from Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood, at the time, strongly rejected accusations it violated any law or acted unethically. The group also “strongly” disagreed with Grassley’s recommendations to refer the matter to the Justice Department “especially in light of the fact that the investigations by three other Congressional committees, and investigations in 13 states including a Grand Jury in Texas, have all shown that Planned Parenthood did nothing wrong.”

“Over two years ago, citizen journalists at The Center for Medical Progress first caught Planned Parenthood’s top abortion doctors in a series of undercover videos callously and flippantly negotiating the sale of tiny baby hearts, lungs, livers, and brains,” Daleiden said Thursday. “It is time for public officials to finally hold Planned Parenthood and their criminal abortion enterprise accountable under the law.”

The federal investigation by the Trump administration will reopen the years-long debate on whether Planned Parenthood and other providers violated the law with the illegal sale of body parts.

"I hope that there isn't a partisan purpose in taking this action and that the department handles the chairman's request in a professional and ethical manner," Feinstein said in a statement.

The now-federal investigation comes after a 2015 undercover investigation by activists David Daleiden, leader of the pro-life Center for Medical Progress, and Sandra Merritt, an employee of the group, who both posed as fetal researchers and made undercover videos of themselves trying to buy fetal tissue from Planned Parenthood.

The recorded conversations included officials from Planned Parenthood and StemExpress, a California company that provides blood, tissue and other biological material for medical research and has received fetal tissue from Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood, at the time, strongly rejected accusations it violated any law or acted unethically. The group also “strongly” disagreed with Grassley’s recommendations to refer the matter to the Justice Department “especially in light of the fact that the investigations by three other Congressional committees, and investigations in 13 states including a Grand Jury in Texas, have all shown that Planned Parenthood did nothing wrong.”

“Over two years ago, citizen journalists at The Center for Medical Progress first caught Planned Parenthood’s top abortion doctors in a series of undercover videos callously and flippantly negotiating the sale of tiny baby hearts, lungs, livers, and brains,” Daleiden said Thursday. “It is time for public officials to finally hold Planned Parenthood and their criminal abortion enterprise accountable under the law.”

The federal investigation by the Trump administration will reopen the years-long debate on whether Planned Parenthood and other providers violated the law with the illegal sale of body parts.

I must admit that I am starting to get worried about the midterms. :-\

The sheer hatred for Trump is starting to be honed by the left.

Having said that, I am not convinced that all these special elections are indicative of how it will pan out come November.

Republicans have to know that we will have two years of inaction by Congress along with the strong possibility that the House will move to impeach.

It will go nowhere in the Senate, but it will bring us months and months of nonsense.

The Right has to know that they have to get out there and hold as many of these House seats as possible while trying to increase their lead in the Senate.

The sad part is that I am starting to think there may be more of them than there are of us.

Still Bleeding: The DNC’s Financial Situation Just Got Worsef
townhall ^ | Apr 04, 2018 | Matt Vespa
Posted on 4/5/2018, 7:27:53 AM by MarvinStinson

The Democratic National Committee under Tom Perez and Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) has been anything but successful. The committee, which has undergone multiple purges in staff, including the firing of their top fundraiser, has failed to catch up with their Republican counterparts. They’re a whopping $6 million in debt and they just took out a $2 million loan to keep the lights on. It’s a total disaster and the bleeding hasn’t stopped (via Daily Caller):

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) reported more than $162,000 in additional debt in an amended FEC report filed this week.

The DNC originally reported $6.1 million in debt in its March 2018 FEC report filed on March 20 but amended that report on Monday to include an additional $162,368.64 in debt, bringing the DNC’s total debt to just under $6.3 million.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) has zero debt, according to the committee’s most recent FEC filings.

The DNC tried to bury their disastrous finances during the State of the Union, which did not go undetected.

Kenneth P. Vogel ✔ @kenvogel Interesting timing: @DNC files its @FEC report in the middle of the #SOTU, revealing that it raised $5.2M last month, but finished the year with $6.1M in debt. http://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/C00010603/1202494/ … 11:20 PM - Jan 30, 2018

DEMOCRATS ARE LOSING MILLENNIAL SUPPORT THEY NEED TO WIN MIDTERMS, NEW POLL SUGGESTS

Millennials may not be as loyal to the Democrats as previously thought—and it could hurt the party at the ballot box in November.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll released Monday found that support among voters ages 18 to 34 has fallen by roughly 9 percentage points over the last two years. That means just 46 percent of registered millennial voters now identify with the Democrats, as compared to 2016, when the majority of the voting bloc backed the party.

Though an overwhelming two-thirds of the poll's 16,000 respondents said they don't like President Donald Trump, many of these young voters are being pulled to the right by a Republican Party they see as being stronger on economic issues. Some respondents voiced support for the Republican tax legislation and the party's messaging on jobs, which they said have made a material difference in their lives under a GOP-controlled Congress.

Experts said that when it comes to party allegiance, millennials are both more fluid and more easily swayed than the generations that came before them.

"They’re not as wedded to one party," Donald Green, a political science professor at Columbia University, told Reuters. "They’re easier to convince than, say, your 50- or 60-year-olds who don’t really change their minds very often."

This trend may make some Democrats uneasy, especially going into a competitive midterm election with the goal of winning back at least one chamber of Congress. But others say there's little reason to panic.

Keep Up With This Story And More By Subscribing Now

"While people may not register for a particular party, they show up for a candidate who shares their values," Amanda Litman, the cofounder and executive of Run for Something, a group dedicated to running and recruiting young candidates, told Newsweek. "And with young people, those candidates are most often those who care about progressive causes like climate change, marriage equality and a woman's right to make her own health care decisions."

For proof, Litman said to look no further than Virginia Governor Ralph Northam's November win: The Democratic candidate defeated his Republican opponent, Ed Gillespie, by winning 69 percent of the millennial vote.

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders overwhelmingly won over the young vote in 2016, outperforming both Hillary Clinton and Trump with the voter bloc. In fact, Sanders garnered more votes from Americans under 30 than Clinton and Trump combined, according to a June 2016 Washington Post report.

Sanders made tuition-free college and student debt relief prominent platforms in his presidential campaign, which perhaps explained his appeal to millennials, a generation burdened with roughly $33,000 of student loan debt on average.

But Litman said there's no lesson to be learned from Sanders in particular, adding that Democrats don't necessarily need to adopt all of his platforms or mimic his campaign. If they want to win over millennials, they just need to be genuine.

"Young people want candidates who are authentically themselves and who aren't bullshitting us," said Litman. "Candidates should have a problem they want to solve. We tell our candidates, 'You're not running to be something. You're running to do something.' To win, voters need to understand what that 'something' is."

Black male support for Trump doubles after Kanye tweets: Poll

By Bradford Richardson - The Washington Times - Thursday, May 3, 2018
A new poll shows that there was a significant uptick in support for President Trump among black males following tweets from hip-hop mogul Kanye West appearing to back the president.

According to a Reuters poll taken April 29, 22 percent of black males approved of the president’s job performance, up from 11 percent one week earlier. Seven percent of the demographic also reported having “mixed feelings” about the president, up from 1.5 percent.

Seventy-one percent of the cohort still said they disapproved of Mr. Trump’s performance in office.

Support among black females remained relatively steady over that same span, increasing slightly from 6 to 9 percent.

Overall, the Reuters poll found 41 percent of the country approved and 54 percent disapproved of Mr. Trump’s job performance.

For Dems, 'blue wave' is now a trickle
By Alice Stewart
Updated 3:34 AM EDT, Fri May 11, 2018
 

Editor's Note: (Alice Stewart is a CNN Political Commentator and former communications director for the Ted Cruz for President campaign. The views expressed in this commentary are hers.)

(CNN) The ballot on Tuesday left off the biggest winners: President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who stepped in to stand up for and against certain candidates.

Republican candidates who embraced President Trump and his "drain the swamp" message came out on top in key Senate and congressional races in West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and North Carolina, setting the stage for a strong field of GOP candidates heading into the general election in November.

Learning lessons from the past, the GOP is now determined to field a strong team of candidates heading into November. If the party bolsters this resolve with a strong economy and significant presidential foreign policy advancements, the GOP will be on solid ground. The Democrats may still pick up some seats, but the anticipated Blue Wave will be more like an uphill battle.


Trump didn't hold back in tweeting his approval Wednesday morning, saying, "The Republican Party had a great night. Tremendous voter energy and excitement, and all candidates have a chance of winning in November."


In the crucial West Virginia Senate primary, Republican State Attorney General Patrick Morrisey pulled off an upset and scored a win for the party over Rep. Evan Jenkins and former inmate and coal baron Don Blankenship. Morrisey will take on incumbent Joe Manchin, one of the most centrist Democrats in the Senate, in November.

To say this roller-derby type race gave GOP leaders a little heartburn is an understatement. Morrisey and Jenkins were out early with a fierce primary fight. Blankenship got into the race late with a slew of controversial, racially insensitive comments and a fierce attack on McConnell, calling him "Cocaine Mitch," and claiming he created jobs for "China people."

West Virginia (which Trump won by 42 points in 2016) offers one of the best chances Republicans have to turn a blue state red in the 2018 midterms, and after the disastrous mistake of nominating Roy Moore, who faced allegations of sexual abuse, in conservative stronghold Alabama, Republicans felt additional pressure to stop Blankenship in order to nominate a viable primary candidate heading into November.

Trump even used the bully pulpit of his Twitter feed to discourage voters from supporting Blankenship.

In the Indiana Senate GOP primary, businessman Mike Braun beat US Reps. Luke Messer and Todd Rokita in a heated primary battle. Given that Trump won Indiana in 2016 by 20 points, all three candidates positioned themselves as the most dedicated to Trump supporters.

Messer wrote a letter nominating Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize, while Rokita played up to the base by running an ad bashing the Mueller investigation as a "witch hunt." Braun, who will face incumbent Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly in the fall, beat Messer and Rokita by depicting himself as an outsider businessman like Trump.

In the Ohio GOP primary, both Rep. Jim Renacci and businessman Mike Gibbons campaigned as the ultimate outsider candidate. Trump-backed Renacci focused on his disgust with Washington status quo. Trump won Ohio in 2016 by a much smaller margin than West Virginia or Indiana, and many say Trump's endorsement of Renacci, who will run against Sen. Sherrod Brown in the general election, was a key factor in his win.

In North Carolina, GOP Rep. Robert Pittenger became the first incumbent to lose in the 2018 primary cycle. Former Rev. Mark Harris of Charlotte's First Baptist Church beat Pittenger with his "drain the swamp" message, running against the GOP-controlled Congress as much as against Pittenger. Harris now prepares for a competitive general election race against Iraq War veteran Dan McCready.

The Democrats' anticipated Blue Wave was downgraded as voters backed strong candidates who can enable the GOP to hold and potentially expand its majority in the crucial midterm elections. As a footnote, it goes without saying that in this crazy world of politics, even losers win; at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, Blankenship's parole ended. He said he plans to head to a luxury resort to relax and play blackjack. The winning candidates are off to the races in November.

Every time I hear a leftist or a foreigner talking about Trump, I always come back to the same observation: My grandfather grew up in Long Island, was the only bread winner in the house and made enough money to pay for a 4-bedroom house, pay for his 3 kids' education, buy cars, go on vacation, et cetera. Some one, please, explain to me what the fuck happened. It's not education (my grandpa was an electrician and I work in financial/hr services). The media certainly AREN'T talking about this.

And then people wonder how and why Trump won? REALLY? REALLY?

part of it is wages haven't kept up with inflation. But part of it is that your grandfather probably lived in a 900 sq ft house. His cars didn't have very much technology and he was fine with that. Vacations were usually a road trip to a location not too far away, not plane tickets for 4 or 5 and Disneyworld. TV channels if they owned a TV were free. He didn't pay $100 a month for cell phone and unlimited data etc etc. In other words, todays consumers have been brainwashed by advertisements into buying a lot of things they don't need, spending money they don't have and thus having to increase their incomes by adding jobs and hours.

DNC Fundraising Woes Continue Ahead of Midterm Elections
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | May 21, 2018 | Jack Heretic
Posted on 5/22/2018, 8:15:44 AM by Diana in Wisconsin

The Democratic National Committee's latest fundraising numbers show the party continues to have trouble with fundraising as the 2018 midterm elections approach.

April 2018 marked the DNC's worst April of fundraising in a midterm election year since 2006, according to data filed with the Federal Election Commission.

While the DNC raised only $7.9 million in April 2018, the Republican National Committee raised $13 million. April's numbers brought the RNC's totals to $43.8 million cash-on-hand and no debt, while the DNC's totals came to $8.7 million cash-on-hand and $5.3 million of debt.

Some of the money recently spent by the DNC went to Onward Together, a group led by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, after it bought the group's contact lists.

Democrats' fundraising woes come as they try to take the majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. That goal is particularly challenging in the Senate, where Democrats will be defending several seats in states President Donald Trump won in 2016.

DNC Chair Tom Perez remains optimistic Democrats will take the majority in Congress despite the party's lack of funds, funds that have only diminished since he took the helm at the DNC in February, 2017.

Good post and while I voted for Hillary, I understand why Trump won the key states and retains a 40% base.

As you alluded to, the real problems people now face aren't being addressed . Like many before him , Trump talked a good game
and promised the moon for the struggling working class. He was effective at getting folks excited and talked in direct terms about immigration
and national security.

But the solutions aren't that simple and don't work for sound bites on the campaign  trail.
To quote Pres. Trump himself , during the health care bill debates ;
" Who knew health care could be this complicated." :o

I'm pro-choice and don't have any problems with legal abortions within the 1st 90 days.
Planned Parenthood doesn't perform the actual abortion, so that's a bit misleading.

People can and will debate the abortion issue.
Since Planned Parenthood is all about choice in female reproduction,
the Pro-Life will side against them.

That's correct, they CAN refer them to the clinic with a doc that performs the procedure.
That's what being "pro choice " is all about, giving her the CHOICE to carry to term or end the pregnancy.

The religious right groups, only back carrying to term and refuse to give info on abortion services.
I'm 100% behind Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood doesn't perform the actual abortion, so that's a bit misleading.

Still a liar I see.

Wow !

Planned Parenthood doesn't bring woman in and just give them an abortion.
They provide OPTIONS and abortion is one viable option.
No pregnant woman is pressured to get an abortion . No woman is forced or told the wrong medical info.
That's the impression the pro life folks want to promote. That's misleading.

In the sprit of being totally honest ( so there is no confusion ):
1. I'm 100% pro-choice and support the viable choice planned parenthood provides pregnant females.
2. I see nothing wrong with providing a service that can refer woman to a legit abortion doctor with proper medical facillities.

You may not agree with my view, but you have to admit I'm being very clear and honest about it.


Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. I gave you two quotes from Planned Parenthood's own website confirming they do abortions at Planned Parenthood.  Why are you lying?

Ok, I can see how you got your panties in a bunch because I made brief post , that PP doesn't do the actual abortion.
But, it's a fair point that PP is affilaited with abortion providers,and it seems a rather semantic difference.Fair enough
No shit, they have affiliated clinics they can refer woman to. Ok?
For convenience, some of the clinics are in the same building.

It's an optional service a pregnant woman can get thru planned parenthood.
If you want to say that PP provides it, ok, fine since it's affiliated with them.
Pro lifers don't want any abortions and pro choice folks like me think it should be made available.
I don't care where the actual clinic is and I suspect most ro life folks don't either.

I never said they didn't refer anyone for an abortion.

I have no problems with any "on site" abortion clinics.




You are one dishonest mofo.  You said PP doesn't do abortions.  That's a lie.  They do as confirmed on their own website.  You're as bad as a little kid lying about eating cookies, despite having crumbs all over his mouth.

Technically that's legally correct, but I can see your point and said so in my previous post.

You're correct  they don't do the actual abortion procedure but have affiliated clinics in the same building, so wtf.
I agree, in practical terms , it's the same thing, so I understand your point and can understand it.

Gaining in the House will be extremely difficult because of the sheer number of seats the Republicans already have (and now will be forced to defend) BUT

If the Republicans can retain the House and gain a handful of seats in the Senate...yeah that should be considered a home run. Especially when you take into account the media onslaught against Trump and the fact that a sitting president's party is generally expected to catch a significant ass whipping during a mid term.

The Democrats have not performed well in a mid term since 2006, and that was right in the middle of an unpopular war and Bush's second term. It took that for the Dems to come out.

Plus the Democrats still seemingly have no message whatsoever short of name calling and Trump Delusion(Derangement) Syndrome meltdowns. Just look at the Leftys on here. The topics they bring up. Their posts. The vast majority of the people from the states the Democrats need to win in order to ensure Legislative relevance simply do not care.

And they have alienated large portions of the Midwest and Rust Belt which they have been able to count on to one degree or another for the past few decades(especially The Rust Belt)

I agree retaining the House and picking up a few seats in the Senate would be a home run.  I think the media is manufacturing a "blue wave" in the same way they manufactured a Clinton runaway win in 2016.

The dems have started a new playbook with a slate of new candidates that fit the district they run in.
The GOP is running the same style person and that won't keep the house.

Poll: Claire McCaskill Trails GOP Challengers by 7, 16 Percent

(http://media.breitbart.com/media/2018/05/AP_18137733650790-640x480.jpg)

Missouri Democrat Sen. Claire McCaskill trails not one but two Republican challengers in head-to-head matchups, according to a poll released Tuesday.
The poll by Gravis Marketing — commissioned by Republican candidate Austin Peterson — shows the incumbent trailing state Attorney General Josh Hawley and libertarian-leaning Petersen by more than the margin of error.

In the first match-up, Hawley was picked by 50 percent of respondents and McCaskill was chosen by 43 percent. In the second, 56 percent of respondents chose Petersen, and 40 percent picked McCaskill. The margin of error for the survey was 3.4 percentage points,” reports USA Today.

In response to the poll, Petersen said, “Both (Hawley and McCaskill) have shown themselves to be ladder-climbing career politicians who prioritize professional gain over honest representation of the electorate.

“After nearly a year of hearing Missourians express their frustration with the insider politics in Jefferson City and Washington on the campaign trail, I can’t say I’m surprised by these results.”

Last week, a Morning Consult poll showed more than half of Missourians say they want McCaskill to go, with the Democrat registering an approval rating of just 38 percent. That figure gives her the lowest job-approval numbers of all her incumbent Democrat colleagues up for election in states won by Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election.

Despite leading the Republican field, Hawley’s conservative critics describe his campaign as listless and disengaged, often opting to lift weights at the gym instead of meeting with Missouri political leaders.

POLITICO writes:

Hawley’s snubs have antagonized potential allies. Wagner, a former Missouri GOP chair and George W. Bush-era U.S. ambassador who has deep ties to the state’s political and donor class, took herself out of Senate contention more than 10 months ago. Yet Hawley still hasn’t asked her for her support or taken steps to smooth things over with the suburban St. Louis congresswoman, who many believe withdrew after recognizing that Hawley was the party’s first choice. In doing so, he’s left himself without an ally who could have otherwise worked the state aggressively on his behalf.

“I am personally baffled and disappointed that the guy I’ve had on my show numerous times over the last four years and have been supportive of has been MIA,” St. Louis radio show host Mark Reardon told POLITICO.

“I’m pissed. I’m frustrated.”

“I like the guy; I think he’d be a good U.S. senator,” Reardon added.

“But this worries me. I don’t like the pattern

Look at dem Connor Lambs win in the special election for congress in SW Penn.
They get candidates that are a naturally better fit to run in various districts.

They have a deep, diverse slate of candidates running for everything from congress to dog catcher .
The dems are energized and have a lot of women running.

Most of these female dems are more authentic then Hillary and have a real passion for running.
Stacy Abrams just won the dem primary for Gov with 75% of the vote here in Ga.
She's  a black female with a Yale law degree and was a leader in the state legislature for years.

She'll a legit contender for GOV, but it won't be easy against an established , well liked, white republican in Ga.
We'll know how it falls in NOV.

  In these four Texas counties, no one voted in the Democratic primary runoffs

Hall, King, Lynn and McMullen counties held Democratic runoff elections but no one voted. Each county only had one Democratic matchup on their ballots: the gubernatorial race between Lupe Valdez and Andrew White.

Voter turnout in Tuesday’s runoffs was abysmal. Fewer than 450,000 Texans cast ballots in the race, compared to 1 million that voted in the Democratic primary.

That trend was particularly clear in four small, rural counties – King, Lynn and Hall counties in Northwest Texas and McMullen County in South Texas – where not a single person voted in the Democratic runoffs. Each county had only one matchup on their May 22 ballots: the gubernatorial race between former Dallas County sheriff Lupe Valdez and Houston businessman Andrew White.

Pollster to Dem Candidates: Focus on Mueller Indictments
realclearpolitics ^ | 05/24/2018 | Caitlin Huey-Burns
Posted on 5/24/2018, 8:21:32 AM by ChicagoConservative27

With the special counsel investigation into Russian election interference now in its second year, Democratic pollsters are offering the party a way to hone a persuasive counterargument to President Trump's revved up rhetoric against Robert Mueller: talk less about the 2016 election and more about indictments handed down thus far.

A new survey by Navigator Research, a group of top Democratic strategists and public opinion experts, finds that while 97 percent of Americans have heard about the Mueller probe, nearly 60 percent don't believe it has uncovered any crimes.

The ongoing investigation has so far resulted in two dozen indictments, including that of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, and a couple of campaign associates have pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators. But the findings of the Navigator survey indicate that while most Americans say the investigation should continue, they don't think it has produced much so far.

Whites have fled the Democratic Party. Here’s how the nation got there.
Washington Post ^ | May 22, 2018 | Joshua N. Zingher
Posted on 5/24/2018, 10:16:26 AM

With the 2018 midterms months away and the 2020 presidential election cycle approaching rapidly, Democrats are considering how to improve their poor showings in 2014 and 2016. The party has been debating — sometimes heatedly — how to do this. Which voters should they target? How should Democrats target them?

But here’s what’s clear: White voters have been fleeing the Democratic Party, and that’s a big reason Democrats are looking to rebound from back-to-back losses.

Whites have slowly but consistently moved away from the Democratic Party. These recent losses are on top of Democrats’ losses among Southern whites during the 1960s and 1970s after Democrats’ support of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Bill Clinton won 49 percent of the white two-party vote in 1996. Al Gore won 43 percent in 2000. John F. Kerry won 41 percent in 2004. Barack Obama won a slightly larger share in 2008, but then dropped to only 39 percent in his 2012 reelection bid. Hillary Clinton got the same percentage as Obama.

Obama was able to mask the Democratic Party’s weakness among whites by prompting record-high turnout among African Americans, as well as strong turnout from other Democratic-leaning minority groups. Hillary Clinton was unable to generate the same level of enthusiasm from racial and ethnic minorities.

RCP’s Sean Trende: ‘Energized’ Base Improving Chance of GOP Keeping House in Midterms

Monday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” RealClearPolitics’ Sean Trende said the Republicans prospects of keeping the majority in the House of Representatives in the November midterm elections had improved significantly.

Trende said, “There’s a couple of things going on. I think the good economic news is starting to break through. I think people are starting to question where the Mueller investigation is going. I think it had kept the president down for a while. And I think the tax cuts energized the Republican base and are playing a role in the president’s improving fortunes.”

He continued, “Well, I think if you looked six months ago, you would say it was doomsday for the Republicans with the Republican down in the 30s, showing a double-digit lead for Democrats. But that’s just not the world we’re in today. The president is up into the low to mid-40s, and his job approval, he generic ballot has closed to a four-point lead for the Democrats, so I think we’ve gone from Democrats being heavy favorites to take the House to something of a dead heat and maybe a thumb on the scale for the Republicans.”

On California, Trende added, “I think it’s a real concern for the Democrats. They have this top two primary system where everyone runs in the same race, and the top two make it to the election. There’s a lot of Democrats running in some of these races. They could divide the democratic vote, and you could end up with two Republicans in the general election shutting the Democrats out, which is sort of a nightmare scenario for Democrats.”

That “Blue Wave” May Be About to Become a “Red Flood”
DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon
Posted on 6/5/2018, 8:07:12 AM by EyesOfTX

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)

Irrelevant. Americans today need to know what too much #WINNING does to them. – The National Centers for Environmental Information (there’s your all-time politically correct name) issued a report on Monday that says that watching too much bad news can be hazardous to one’s health. So now you know why all of your Democrat friends are feeling so bad these days.

Where were these guys when Obama and Kerry were surrendering to Iran’s Mullahs? – Senate Democrats, feeling a sudden need to pretend to care about U.S. national security – something that historically only happens when a Republican president is about to achieve a major foreign policy victory for the country – issued their list of “demands” for what President Trump must include in any treaty with North Korea that will need to be ratified in the Senate.

These demands include the following:

The deal must include the dismantlement and removal of all nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons from North Korea. The U.S. must ensure a “complete and verifiable denuclearization of North Korea,” removing all items related to nuclear-weapons production to prevent the country from reversing course. North Korea must end its ballistic-missile program as well. North Korea must comply with “anywhere, anytime” inspections to ensure it is not cheating on the deal, and sanctions must be immediately restored if it does cheat. The deal must be permanent. If it strikes you that this list of “demands” reads like the list of goals the Trump Administration has been talking about in advance of the June 12 summit meeting in Singapore, that’s because they basically are one and the same.

Look, the Democrats are beginning to panic about their prospects in November’s mid-term elections. Bereft of any bright policy ideas of their own which might attract new voters, they are now going about the process of attempting to co-opt conservative positions on issues, starting with the negotiations with North Korea. This is what Bill Clinton taught them to do in 1996, and it’s what they’ve in every election cycle since that time.

Just a couple of months ago they and their fake news media agents were convinced that they were headed towards a grand victory, a “Blue Wave” that would see them win a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, maybe the Senate as well, and make sweeping gains in state governorships and legislative houses all over the country.

But what had once been as much as an 18-point lead in congressional generic preference polling has now essentially disappeared as the Trump tax cuts have kicked the economy into high gear and good news for America continues to pour in from around the world. Americans are becoming optimistic about the future again – one recent “right direction/wrong direction” shows the “right direction” answer coming in at its highest level in many years – and that is never a positive sign for the eternally depressed and negative Democrats, who rely on human misery and suffering to build voter support.

Think about it: Have you seen a single Democrat politician or liberal talking head on your television talk about what a great thing it is that the Black and Hispanic rates of unemployment are at all-time lows? No, of course you haven’t. Democrats don’t want Blacks and Hispanics to have jobs – Democrats want Blacks and Hispanics to be dependent on the government because that’s the best way to ensure they will continue to vote in overwhelming majorities for Democrats.

So, Democrat “leaders” – such as they are – see all this good news taking place, they see Kanye West and other young African American leaders beginning to speak out about this orthodoxy they’ve held in place for half a century, and they have no idea at all what to do about it other than to resort back to the “triangulation” tactic they’ve employed in every election cycle for 22 years. That’s what this Korea canard is all about, and you’re going to see more of that kind of co-option of GOP positions taking place in the coming weeks.

Because the reality is that, as we sit here today, the overarching national momentum in this election cycle is firmly behind the Republicans now, just as the overarching mood of the public had moved behind Donald Trump’s candidacy at this point in 2016. That could change between now and November, but it would take some extraordinary paradigm-shifting event to make it happen.

When you see San Fran Nan advocating for additional tax cuts and Chuckie Schumer out in Chicago or Detroit or Baltimore talking about the need to get tough on crime, you’ll know for sure that the once-vaunted “Blue Wave” is about to turn into a “Red Flood.” This is all very predictable.

About that Bill Clinton interview… – It occurs to me this morning that this NBC interview with Bill Clinton and an extremely uncomfortable James Patterson is a real teaching moment for Millennials. Because this is the first time in their adult lives that they have seen the real Bill Clinton that we all had to deal with throughout the decade of the ’90s put on display for everyone to see.

There he was in all his sociopathic glory, shifting blame, denying responsibility, angry at being questioned, refusing to apologize and pretending that it is indeed he who is the actual victim here. Bill’s all about the whole #MeToo movement, only in his mind it’s all about him, not the many women he abused throughout his adult life. Poor, poor persecuted Bill. Why, I kept waiting for him to toss out the whole “vast rightwing conspiracy” canard just for fun.

Here’s a hint for all you Millennials who were not really following politics while Bill was chasing 22 year-old interns around the Oval Office: The most telling line of that entire interview is when he says, when asked about his Monica Lewinsky scandal, “Nobody believes I got out of that for free. I left the White House $16 million in debt.”

See, with the Clintons, it was always all about the money. Bill and Hillary Clinton are America’s Greatest Grifters. Everything they did, every office they sought was all about what was in it for them. Their having debt at the end of Bill’s terms in office – fact-checkers show it wasn’t really even close to the number Billy boy tossed out – was in their minds justification for having Hillary turn her gig as Obama’s Secretary of State into a classic mob influence racket in which she was only too happy to sell U.S. foreign policy decisions to the highest bidders.

The Clintons – both of them – were always just in it for the money. They were always looking for their next scam. For Hillary, being elected President was going to be the most glorious scam of all.

Be happy she didn’t make it there.

Just another day in Panicking Democrats America.

That is all.

Poll: Trump Beats Obama’s Approval, GOP Voters More Eager than Dems for Midterms

(http://media.breitbart.com/media/2018/06/Trump-Happy-IM-WATSONAFPGetty-Images-640x480.jpg)

Predictions of a Blue Wave in the upcoming midterm elections fueled by opposition to President Donald Trump may not be considering the president’s popularity with his base and the enthusiasm of Republican voters, according to a new poll by Rasmussen Reports.

On June 7, 2018, Trump had a 49 percent approval rating compared to Barack Obama, who had a 46 percent approval rating on June 7, 2010.

The poll also found GOP voters more enthusiastic than Democrats and independents about casting a vote in November and found voters overall more enthusiastic about getting to the ballot box than in the last midterm.

Rasmussen reported:

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 70% of Likely Republican Voters say they are more likely to vote this year than they have been in past election years. That compares to 64% of Democrats and 51% of voters not affiliated with either major political party.

Among all Likely Voters, 62 percent say they are more likely to vote this year. Only six percent say they are less likely to do so, while 30% say they are just as likely to vote this November as in any other year.

By comparison, in July 2014, 57% said they were more likely to vote that November compared to past elections. Enthusiasm was higher two years ago during the presidential campaign, with 67% who said they were more likely to vote.

The poll also found Trump supporters more likely to vote than those who oppose the president and his policies.

Some 73% of voters who strongly approve of Trump’s job performance are more likely to vote, with 65% of voters who strongly disapprove of the job the president is doing likely tovote.

When it comes to shaping the national political narrative, voters now believe that President Trump sets the agenda inside the Beltway, with the national media coming in at a distant second.

The survey was taken of 1,000 likely voters on June 5-6, 2018. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus three percentage points.

Rick Scott surges past Nelson with Florida voters
POLITICO ^ | June 11, 2018 | Marc Caputo
Posted on 6/11/2018, 12:50:51 PM by Trump20162020

Gov. Rick Scott is virtually tied with Sen. Bill Nelson among Florida voters, but the Republican is dominating the Democrat by 9 points among those nearing or at retirement age — a group that casts the majority of Florida’s votes.

The results, drawn from a forthcoming POLITICO/AARP poll delving into the policy views of Florida voters aged 50 and older, exposes a political divide that bodes relatively well for Republicans when compared to some nationwide polling that shows a more-favorable environment for Democrats.

Overall, voters in the nation’s largest swing state are almost evenly split when it comes to opinions of President Trump’s job performance, with 48 percent approving and 49 percent disapproving. But Trump’s job approval rises to 52 percent and his disapproval falls to 44 percent among voters older than 50 — a crucial demographic in the retiree-heavy state because they have historically cast about two-thirds of all the ballots in midterm elections.

Similarly, Scott leads Nelson overall by 40 percent to 39 percent, but Scott’s support grows to 44 percent while Nelson’s shrinks to 35 percent with those 50 and older.

Reuters Poll: Young White Americans Flee Democrat Party in Droves Since Trump's Election

(https://media.breitbart.com/media/2018/07/Young-White-American-Voters-Evan-Vucci-AP.jpg)

Young white Americans are fleeing the Democrat Party en masse following the election of President Donald Trump in 2016, a new poll reveals.

The latest Reuters/Ipsos Poll surveyed more than 16,000 registered voters between the ages 18 to 34 over the course of the last three months of 2018. This same poll was conducted in 2016 around the same time period.

Young white Americans, in 2016, favored Democrats over Republicans in 2016 by a 47 to 33 percent margin. Since Trump’s election — and his booming economy which has secured high-paying jobs and record job opportunities — young white Americans’ favoritism for Democrats has disappeared.

Today, 39 percent of young white Americans say they favor Republicans, while another 39 percent of young white Americans say they favor Democrats.

Dems Issue Depressing Statement on Independence Day as People Leave Party in Droves
Gateway Pundit ^ | July 4, 2018 | Cristina Laila
Posted on 7/5/2018, 11:29:25 AM by Cheerio

The Democrat party is in complete disarray.

The violence, threats, calls to abolish borders and abolish ICE are causing people to leave the Democrat party in droves.

The #WalkAway campaign is gaining momentum as decent Americans are fed up with the vitriol and overall lack of message from the Democrat party.

The mask is completely off; Democrats are openly embracing a Communist Socialist candidate for the House of Representatives.

DNC Chairman Tom Perez claimed this week that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist running for Congress, is “the future of our party.”

The Democrats released a bleak message riddled with identity politics and doom and gloom on this July 4th.

“Everywhere we look, our most fundamental values are under attack,” the statement reads.

Full statement from the DNC:

“Nearly two and a half centuries ago, a band of patriots gathered in Philadelphia to declare that ‘all men are created equal.’ Our nation has changed dramatically since those words were first written on parchment. Generations of brave Americans – from service members to civil rights activists – have fought to expand the promise of equality for more Americans and move our country forward in its march toward a more perfect union.

If republican's prevail in the house at the 2018 midterm elections, I'll remain in this politics forum, even if only so Getbig conservatives can gloat.

If democrats are successful in winning the house, it will make me happy, but I have no plans to gloat.

If nobody wants to take the bet or risk leaving, that's fine.
But please, can they spare of us of this air of certainty that the dems will lose badly.
Just admit we all make our best guess , but nobody here can predict the future of politics with absolute certainty.

the MSM made him win... with their anti-white propaganda. alot of conservatives didnt even vote because they were "anti- Trump"...and the MSM kept spewing fake news about the polls of Hillary winning with a 90% chance... that also made alot of voters think "fuck it why bother hes gonna lose...lets not vote"... "why waste my time".....to me it also shows how biased MSM is...with these fake polls to derail voters... Hillary had everything behind her... god name it... she had it... and still lost

let them do it... its too ez... thanks Maxine for your "Racist" remarks... too ez.... its all crumbling down.. due to Trumps 3d chess game/intelect.... how do you think he won the election? think about it.... :)....very smart guy/GENIOUS.

Compiling Trumps comments, his tweets and reviewing them, there is not much evidence to support the genius claim or 3D chess. His strength was being borderline ignorant, and he was able to tap in to a vast group of right wingers who could relate to his ignorance and tough talk whether he had the ability or the law behind him to enact what he promised. As far as the polls, rather than be "fake" it is more likely when strangers called and asked who they would vote for, most were too ashamed to admit they were really going to vote for a man who mocked a reporter, a POW and a Gold Star family and rightly so, so they said Hillary. Think about it

i agree with some of your points...but... if you wont acknowledge the DNC and Hillary had  a HUGE advantage during the election..i dont know what to say....much like a fat person is in denial about being fat..... keep in mind the GOP didnt even want to nominate Trump as a candidate to run...even though he won that nomination .... after the "grab her by the pussy" msm(non-biased) was pushing...

GOP told him to step down for someone else to run against Hillary... he fought his own party (GOP) and fought the DNC... and won. that is quite an accomplishment in my opinion.

Trump won because he was the best choice - if he were, he wouldn't have been 3 million behind Hillary as far as votes. He won because people in the right places voted for him.

More & more people are totally fed up with leftists liberal politics - I think he also won because people were fed up with the right wing as well. Otherwise any number of Republican candidates far better suited for the job would have gotten the nomination

Fair enough. But let reverse the scenario. If Trump would have won the popular vote and lost the electoral (and despite what he said if he would have lost) it would have eventually been accepted and that would have been that instead of trying to unseat a duly elected president. If elections were run on the popular vote you would see completely different campaigns.

THE NUMBERS ARE IN, AND IT’S LOOKING PRETTY BAD FOR SENATE DEMS IN NOVEMBER
07/10/2018
Vandana Rambaran | Contributor

Democrats are in for an uphill battle in November’s midterm elections as they struggle to overtake the GOP-led Senate, according to an Axios and SurveyMonkey poll of key states released Tuesday.

Although Democrats only need to pick up two seats to gain the majority in the Senate, they are struggling to control 10 states already held by Democratic senators. These states are now predominantly red states with voters who are strong supporters of President Donald Trump. They include Indiana, Missouri, Montana and North Dakota, all of which Trump won in 2016, while his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton couldn’t even win over 40 percent of voters in any of those states, according to a Politico report.

Chances of flipping most states where Republican senators are up for reelection seems slim, with states like Nebraska, Utah and Wyoming most likely a solid GOP win, according to polling data by RealClearPolitics. Democrats’ only hope will be to replace GOP Sen. Jeff Flake from Arizona as he retires with one of their own, while simultaneously defeating GOP Sen. Dean Heller in Nevada. (RELATED: Republicans Are Pumped To Vote In Midterm Elections, Poll Results Show)

Midterm prediction polls show that in an effort to add two seats to Democrats’ existing 26, they will likely lose races in Nevada, Florida and Indiana, which will squash any chances of overtaking Republicans in the Senate races, according to the Axios and SurveyMonkey poll. The poll surveyed 12,677 registered voters from June 11 to July 2 with a margin of error of five percent.

The poll suggests that 49 percent of voters would vote for GOP Gov. Rick Scott over Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson in Florida, 52 percent would vote for GOP Rep. Kevin Cramer over Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp in North Dakota, and 49 percent would vote for Republican Mike Braun against Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly in Indiana.

Big Blue Bellyflop: Polls Show Democrats Losing Bid to Capture U.S. Senate
brietbart ^ | 07/10/2018 | John Nolte
Posted on 7/11/2018, 8:59:05 AM by ChicagoConservative27

The latest batch of Axios/Survey Monkey polls shows that Democrats are in real danger of losing three U.S. Senate seats, which means they have no chance of capturing that chamber in 2018. In order to take control of the Senate, Democrats must hold on to all 10 seats currently up for grabs in states President Trump won in 2016. On top of that, they must snatch two seats from incumbent Republicans.

According to these polls, Democrat incumbents in Florida, North Dakota, and Indiana are losing to their Republican challengers by three, five, and two points, respectively.

Another endangered Democrat incumbent, the increasingly embattled Claire McCaskill, is only ahead by two points in Missouri.

New Poll Has Bad News For Dems On Hispanics

(https://mediadc.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/48b800b/2147483647/strip/true/crop/4676x3117+0+0/resize/4676x3117!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmediadc.brightspotcdn.com%2F0a%2Fa6%2Faf804b86b4ceb5833b30671bb316%2F0d9a49a5ad706c2f4d59e3a2472318fa.jpg)

A majority of Americans, including 62 percent of Hispanics, feel they are better off with President Donald Trump in office than former President Barack Obama, according to a mid-year ePoll put out by Emerson College on Monday.

When asked their feelings on whether they are better off or worse off financially under a Trump economy, 42 percent of voters said they believe they are better off while only 26 percent feel they are worse off.


Perceptions of the current financial situation varied by party and race, according to the poll. Of Hispanics polled, 62 percent said they believe they are better off under Trump, and 21 percent feel they are worse off. African Americans had a reverse perspective, with 30 percent feeling they are better off and 40 percent feeling they are worse off under Trump.

The poll also found that Trump’s current job approval rating is at 43 percent with disapproval at 50 percent, an improvement from the statistics in Emerson’s January ePoll when the President’s approval was at only 39 percent and disapproval at 52 percent. The poll suggests that Trump’s higher approval rating may be due in part to the current financial situation of voters.

Lets see... Does it happen? Probably so. Is it a real problem. Unlikely

"President Donald Trump has repeatedly, and falsely, claimed millions voted illegally. Yet examination after examination of voter fraud claims reveal fraud is very rare, voter impersonation is nearly non-existent, and much of the problems associated with alleged fraud relates to unintentional mistakes by voters or election administrators. Election officials and leaders of the president’s own party also agree fraud is not widespread.

The Brennan Center's seminal report "The Truth About Voter Fraud" conclusively demonstrated most allegations of fraud turn out to be baseless — and that of the few allegations remaining, most reveal election irregularities and other forms of election misconduct. And numerous other studies have reached the same conclusion."

The 2016 Election
The number of non-citizens who voted in the 2016 election may be significantly higher than in 2008, because:
Trump campaigned on a promise to crack down on illegal immigration, and this may have driven non-citizens to vote against him.
the number of adult non-citizens in the U.S. recorded by the Census Bureau has risen from 19.4 million in 2008 to 21.0 million in 2016.
shortly before the election, Obama publicly stated that election records are not cross-checked against immigration databases and “there is not a situation where the voting rolls somehow are transferred over and people start investigating, et cetera.” This let non-citizens know that they stand little chance of being caught if they vote.
Likewise, early in 2016, the Obama administration supported a court injunction to prevent Kansas, Alabama, and Georgia from requiring people to provide proof of citizenship in order to register to vote.

So-Called Fact Checks
Some of the nation’s most prominent fact checkers have scoffed at Trump’s assertion that he won the popular vote if illegal votes are deducted.
The Washington Post’s Fact Checker dismissed Trump’s claim as “bogus” and attributed it to “a self-described conservative voter fraud specialist” who has “declined to provide any evidence to back it up, even though reporters have asked.”
The Post’s analysis, written by Glenn Kessler, completely ignored the fact that Trump’s statement is supported to a degree by the 2014 Electoral Studies paper. Kessler is clearly aware of this study, because he quotes its lead author and links to an earlier Post fact check that cites the study. Yet, Kessler doesn’t even hint at what the study shows. Instead, he provides a link that says “we’ve previously given Trump four Pinocchios for making a number of bogus claims about alleged voter fraud.”
Worse still, in both of these fact checks, the Post declares that Trump took the study “out of context.” This is a blatant falsehood, but Kessler says it is so because the lead author of the study wrote that “almost all elections in the US are not determined by non-citizen participation, with occasional and very rare potential exceptions.” This does not in any way contradict Trump, who quoted the authors of the study word-for-word as follows:
Non-citizen votes could have given Senate Democrats the pivotal 60th vote needed to overcome filibusters in order to pass health-care reform and many other reforms, and other Obama administration priorities. … It is also possible that non-citizen votes were responsible for Obama’s 2008 victory in North Carolina.
Kessler and his fellow Post reporter had good reason to know that these words are accurate and in-context, for the authors of the study wrote them in the Post, and the Fact Checker linked to their article.
PolitiFact, another popular fact checking organization, also published a misleading analysis of this issue. This pertains to the number of non-citizens who are registered to vote, which is another finding from the 2014 Electoral Studies paper. PolitiFact says that “Trump accurately cites the study” but is still wrong, because the study was “rebutted multiple times for the methodology it uses.”
PolitiFact then gives the distinct impression that the people who conducted the study are nobodies who merely wrote an article for the “Monkey Cage” blog of the Washington Post. PolitiFact does this by failing to mention that the study was published in a peer-reviewed academic journal and by failing to cite any credentials of the study or its authors, even though two of them, Jesse Richman and David Earnest, are university professors.
In stark contrast, PolitiFact touts the study’s critics with phrases like “three experts,” “peer-reviewed article,” “a political science professor,” “an election expert,” “an associate policy analyst,” and “experts who actually gathered the underlying data.”
PolitiFact’s analysis provides no indication that anyone in this organization read the body of the original paper, read the authors’ replies to their critics, or judiciously examined any of the attacks on the paper. It simply portrays the authors as unaccomplished and their critics as reliable.
This appeal to authority is especially deceitful given that two of the three “experts who actually gathered the underlying data” have made donations to left-leaning political causes. These are Brian Schaffner and Samantha Luks, who are among the three scholars who wrote the 2015 paper in Electoral Studies that criticized the original paper.
In 2004, Schaffner donated to America Coming Together, a liberal organization “heavily funded by billionaire George Soros” that was “on the cutting edge of national politics.” In 2016, Schaffner gave $250 to Hillary Clinton, and Luks donated to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Incidentally, the same federal records show no political donations for the three authors of the original study.
In sum, PolitiFact neglects the actual facts of this complex issue and makes it seem as if this is a case of “the experts” versus people with no credibility. That is not fact-checking but shilling for a particular point of view.
Conclusion
Contrary to the claims of certain major media outlets and fact checkers, a comprehensive analysis of this issue shows that substantial numbers of non-citizens vote illegally in U.S. elections. However, contrary to Trump, the data does not prove that he would have won the popular vote if this fraud did not take place. Instead, it only shows that this is a reasonable possibility

How or why any right minded person would want or see them places as

DEM SENATOR WORRIES HIS PARTY IS GOING TOO FAR LEFT

(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRJuI-KZwD_Jt8A_IwWzwVPdIkQH9nR7AN51cd7hIBALM4_In8f)

Democratic Delaware Sen. Chris Coons is worried his party is alienating moderate voters by moving too far to the left.

“If we as a Democratic Party are going to move from a minority at every level that is dedicated to resistance, to a majority that is capable of governing, we have got to move from grievance to optimism,” Coons said in a speech on Thursday, according to US News and World Report.

“And we’ve got to abandon a politics of anxiety that is characterized by wild-eyed proposals and instead deliver ideas and practical solutions.” (RELATED: Marxists And Extreme Radicals Seek To Take Over The Democratic Party)

Coons also warned that the growing Democratic push to abolish Immigration and Customs and Enforcement (ICE), which enforces the nation’s immigration laws, is counterproductive

“Abolish ICE is too easily mocked as open borders and no law enforcement,” the senator warned.

“Instead of having something that makes a Twitter hashtag and gets you on Rachel Maddow and fires people up, we need to have something that fires people up and is a policy position we can actually defend.” (RELATED: PHOTOS: ‘Abolish ICE’ Vandals Throw Brick Through Window Of GOP Office, Leave Graffiti Message)

“Forty percent of voters self-identify as pragmatic or moderate. We cannot abandon them,” he added.

Coons’ caution comes as the far-left Democratic base is pressuring the party’s leaders to endorse a radical immigration agenda.

Her home used to be within the boundaries of her district, until redistricting shifted some of Waters' neighbors into the 37th District now represented by Democratic Rep. Karen Bass." http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-congress-living-outside-district-20151222-html-htmlstory.html (http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-congress-living-outside-district-20151222-html-htmlstory.html)

She lives in a fucking mansion, just stop.

Maxine Waters' House in Los Angeles, CA - Virtual Globetrotting
https://goo.gl/images/Qafu6w


It looks like it is a mansion, for sure. It is valued at only $2.8 million, which isn't very much for a place that size. Perhaps the location negatively affects the value. More importantly, it was in the district she represents until redistricting placed it a couple of blocks outside it. Waters’ 43rd District is about a three-minute walk from her front door around the corner and across Vermont Avenue.  

California law does not require House Reps to live in the district they represent. No law requires elected officials take a vow of poverty. Have said that, she and her husband's net worth is nothing to write home about.

You keep saying her mansion is a 3 minute walk, I don't think it is.

She owns a tony mansion in predominantly white Hancock Park, several miles outside her congressional district


Simple google maps search shows that it's 8.6 miles outside of her district. It wasn't re-zoning that moved her that far away. I believe she said it was the blacks. ;)

In 2012, I predicted Obama would beat Romney, not because I wanted him to win but because Romney was a stiff and incumbent Presidents are hard to knock off regardless of party.

Looking at this upcoming election, the economy is doing well and we’re not in a war. While politics does tend to be cyclical, these are not conditions under which the opposition tends to gain ground.

Without getting into the specific races, the Democratic Party is basically a mess. You have the old guard, shriveled up old bag, Pelosi, a dope, Chuck Schumer and a crazy old ghetto queen, Waters. Then you have the new guard, some dude with ties to the Muslim brotherhood, an egghead socialist college professor, a decrepit old socialist, and a 28-year-old socialist all of whom want to turn the country into Venezuela. I’ll admit Cortez is pretty cute and I’d fuck her in a heartbeat, but that’s a separate issue.

Watching Trump at this Pennsylvania rally, I have to agree with this thread. The Dems have a got nothing. It’s going to be ugly and the meltdown is going to get even worse.

Looking forward to it. 👍

3 months out, I expect Trump to narrowly retain the House and add a handful of seats in the Senate. That's an ass kicking for a president's first mid term.

If he can pull that off you will see full on civil war within the Democratic party as the progressive wing will sense blood in the water and with the rise of alt media and the internet, they will increasingly control the narrative.

I read something within the past week about Bill Kristol challenging Trump in the 2020 primary.

These people have absolutely lost their minds. What was that recent poll that placed Trump as the most popular within his party basically ever?

Then you toss in Trump's stage and social media presence.

Trump is doing rallies with 8 to 10 thousand energetic people inside and the same amount of people outside and you can barely fill a classroom with your boring platform that more closely represents a therapy session and yet in your delusional little neo con mind, you really think you are about to take down the champ.

Hancock Park was moderately diverse ethnically. The breakdown was whites, 70.7%; Asians, 13.1%; Latinos, 8.5%; blacks, 3.8%, and others, 3.9%. Korea and the Philippines were the most common places of birth for the 26.3% of the residents who were born abroad, a figure that was considered low compared to rest of the city.[5]

I don't think it's a miscalculation. Like I told Chaos. She possibly owns both homes or her husband owns the mansion and she owns the other place. Somehow she's using the address of her home just outside her district to register to vote. From what I read about California voting laws, she'd have to live there or at least receive her mail there, otherwise she's committing fraud.

What's so funny to me is that Chaos doesn't get that I conceded to him about this in my last post. Furthermore, I've made it clear that I disagree with a system that allows congress people to live outside the district they represent. I'm also not much for redistricting or gerrymandering. When this happens and a rep ends up outside their district they should be allowed to finish their term of office. Once it's over they should have a choice to either move into the district they represent or resign their post.

Even funnier is that I've never heard Maxine speak nor have I paid much attention to her shenanigans. She's not my rep and she seems too outspoken, IMO, from what's been reported about her. Just a little aside, it's been reported that her net worth is not much because she and her husband have a lot of debt. Too bad she didn't save some of the $172,000 she makes a year as a congresswoman instead of maintaining a lavish lifestyle she apparently cannot afford.

If your plan were implemented, Maxine would probably just move into a space station directly above her district so she could technically be there but not have to deal with the people, vis a vis blacks.

Interesting, but very far fetched. I don't believe it's generally accepted that you can own airspace, even when it's over land you own. So technically, anyone who tried to pull this off, would be unsuccessful at establishing residency.

Democratic Lead Shrinks in Generic Congressional Ballot

Democrats continue to lead Republicans on the latest
Rasmussen Reports Generic Congressional Ballot, but for the second week in a row, that lead has tightened.

The latest telephone and online survey finds that 45% of Likely U.S. Voters would choose the Democratic candidate if the elections for Congress were held today. Forty-one percent (41%) would opt for the Republican. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and nine percent (9%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

For two weeks in May, the parties were neck and neck on the Generic Ballot, but the Democrats regained their lead in early June and have maintained it since then. In early July, Democrats led by eight, their largest lead since January.

The survey of 2,500 Likely Voters was conducted on July 29-August 2, 2018 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 2 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology

THE DEMOCRATS’ ‘GENERIC BALLOT’ ADVANTAGE HAS ALL BUT DISAPPEARED

Republicans appear to have closed the gap with Democrats in the all-important “generic ballot” — a clear sign that the GOP is surging politically in the run-up to the November 2018 midterms.

Democrats continue to insist that a “Blue Wave” will sweep their party back into control of the House of Representatives and may even allow them to recapture the Senate as well.

But the generic ballot — the best single measure of the relative balance of support of the two parties with the electorate — strongly suggests otherwise.

In the last week alone, three major pollsters have found that the gap between the two parties is statistically negligible. YouGov found a Democratic advantage of just 2 points.  Reuters found a margin of 3 points.


And IBB/TIPP, considered by many to be the single most reliable pollster in the country, reported that the race is a dead heat.


These findings, which contrast sharply with the large double-digit lead Democrats enjoyed last December, and again in early July, put the lie to their party’s claims of growing Trump and GOP weakness.

In fact, Trump’s own polling numbers are continuing to inch upward, with major gains reported among Hispanics, Blacks, gays, millennials and of course, Republicans.  On the economy, the president enjoys widespread popular support that appears to be spilling over into support for many down ticket GOP candidates.

Trump is “5 for 5” with candidates he had endorsed, including most recently Troy Balderson, who won a close contest in Ohio’s 12th Congressional District this past week. Trump’s willingness to go to the mat for Balderson suggests that Democratic claims – and some GOP fears – that White House support would become an albatross for the party are largely unfounded.

Even some liberal analysts estimate that the Democrats would need a large single digit advantage in the generic ballot to prevail in November. Although first-term presidents usually experience a partisan reversal in Congress two years after taking office, Trump may be poised to reverse that historic trend.  

Steady job growth, increased labor force participation and a phenomenal 4.1% GDP growth rate in the last quarter – coupled with the trickle down benefits of a sweeping tax reform bill that Democrats boycotted — have left Trump’s critics stumbling to find a compelling mid-term election message to dislodge GOP candidates.

The Democrats need to flip 24 GOP seats to regain control of the House.  But a number of contests in southern California and even traditionally Blue Minnesota could be slipping from the Democrats’ grasp, the latest polls show.

One of the more intriguing Senate candidates this November. Big time story if this young man can pull off the victory in Michigan.

Trump calls John James 'future star' of GOP after Michigan Senate primary win


(http://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/livingstonrepublicans/pages/114/attachments/original/1518547881/john-james-bg.jpg?1518547881)

President Trump labeled Michigan Republican Senate candidate John James a “future STAR” of the GOP after the conservative black Iraq War veteran won his party’s primary Tuesday.  

“Congratulations to a future STAR of the Republican Party, future Senator John James. A big and bold victory tonight in the Great State of Michigan - the first of many. November can’t come fast enough!” Trump tweeted.


Trump endorsed James last week. James also boasted support from Michigan rocker Kid Rock and Rob O'Neill, the retired Navy SEAL who killed Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.

Early in the primary campaign, Pensler, who loaned his campaign $5 million, had a financial advantage over James, who gave only $50,000 to his campaign. James ultimately raised $3.9 million by the end of June, with an additional $1.3 million in cash by August.

Political newcomer marches to convincing win in Michigan Senate primary; Mike Tobin reports on the general election in November.
James is Michigan’s first black GOP nominee for a major statewide office in more than three decades, but he says he wants to be judged based on his character.

James graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 2004, according to his campaign website bio, and became a Ranger-qualified aviation officer. He served in Operation Iraqi Freedom, where he earned a Combat Action Badge and two Air Medals while logging more than 700 hours leading two Apache platoons.

He returned to Michigan in 2012 and currently serves as president of the family business, James Group International. James has taken the company from $35 million to $137 million in revenue, the site states, and has created 100 jobs in Michigan and elsewhere. He is married with two young children.

James will compete against incumbent Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow in November, who had no primary challenger. Stabenow is seeking a fourth Senate term and has easily fended off past challengers.

Stabenow was elected to the Senate in 2000, and is a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, Senate Energy, Finance and Budget Committees. According to her website, she authored a bipartisan Farm Bill that is strengthening Michigan agriculture and making unprecedented investments in protecting the Great Lakes.

Though seen as an uphill battle, Republicans are optimistic that James could potentially turn the blue Senate seat red, after Trump’s victory in Michigan in the 2016 race.

"Washington has enough career politicians," James said in a news release after his victory. "We need people who have experience getting results. You aren't going to get results from a 43-year career politician. Debbie Stabenow better get ready for the fight of her political life."

Trump calls John James 'future star' of GOP after Michigan Senate primary win


(http://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/livingstonrepublicans/pages/114/attachments/original/1518547881/john-james-bg.jpg?1518547881)

President Trump labeled Michigan Republican Senate candidate John James a “future STAR” of the GOP after the conservative black Iraq War veteran won his party’s primary Tuesday.  

“Congratulations to a future STAR of the Republican Party, future Senator John James. A big and bold victory tonight in the Great State of Michigan - the first of many. November can’t come fast enough!” Trump tweeted.


Trump endorsed James last week. James also boasted support from Michigan rocker Kid Rock and Rob O'Neill, the retired Navy SEAL who killed Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.

Early in the primary campaign, Pensler, who loaned his campaign $5 million, had a financial advantage over James, who gave only $50,000 to his campaign. James ultimately raised $3.9 million by the end of June, with an additional $1.3 million in cash by August.

Political newcomer marches to convincing win in Michigan Senate primary; Mike Tobin reports on the general election in November.
James is Michigan’s first black GOP nominee for a major statewide office in more than three decades, but he says he wants to be judged based on his character.

James graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 2004, according to his campaign website bio, and became a Ranger-qualified aviation officer. He served in Operation Iraqi Freedom, where he earned a Combat Action Badge and two Air Medals while logging more than 700 hours leading two Apache platoons.

He returned to Michigan in 2012 and currently serves as president of the family business, James Group International. James has taken the company from $35 million to $137 million in revenue, the site states, and has created 100 jobs in Michigan and elsewhere. He is married with two young children.

James will compete against incumbent Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow in November, who had no primary challenger. Stabenow is seeking a fourth Senate term and has easily fended off past challengers.

Stabenow was elected to the Senate in 2000, and is a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, Senate Energy, Finance and Budget Committees. According to her website, she authored a bipartisan Farm Bill that is strengthening Michigan agriculture and making unprecedented investments in protecting the Great Lakes.

Though seen as an uphill battle, Republicans are optimistic that James could potentially turn the blue Senate seat red, after Trump’s victory in Michigan in the 2016 race.

"Washington has enough career politicians," James said in a news release after his victory. "We need people who have experience getting results. You aren't going to get results from a 43-year career politician. Debbie Stabenow better get ready for the fight of her political life."


Just heard about him.  Very impressive.

You put a minority and a female on the ticket and you shoot them straight through the heart.

I believe we will see just that within the next 10 to 20 years.

Rep. Steve Cohen under fire for saying he wished Marsha Blackburn would jump off a bridge

(http://www.gannett-cdn.com/media/2018/04/05/TennGroup/Memphis/636585369888334392-180405-dickson.00-11-41-21.Still001.png?quality=10)

U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen is coming under fire for remarks he made last month in which he wished President Donald Trump would encourage U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn to jump off a bridge.


Cohen's remarks, which were first reported by Huffington Post on Thursday night, came at a community prayer breakfast on July 28 hosted by former Gov. Phil Bredesen's U.S. Senate campaign at the Broadway Baptist Church in Memphis.

"The big orange president, that’s not somebody from Knoxville," Cohen said, talking about how the race is expected to be tight. "He’s going to come down here and endorse Marsha Blackburn. 'Cause Marsha Blackburn, if he says, 'jump off the Harahan Bridge,' she’ll jump off the Harahan Bridge."

"I wish he’d say that," said Cohen, whose comments were met with laughter. "She will do anything he says."


The Harahan Bridge spans the Mississippi River between Memphis and West Memphis, Arkansas.

Cohen said late Thursday that he was joking and meant Blackburn no harm.

The West Tennessee congressman's rhetoric was quickly blasted by Tennessee Republican Party Chairman Scott Golden.

"At a time when our country is combating a mental health crisis, it's shocking and, frankly, sickening to hear a Democratic congressman actively wishing for a Republican congressman's suicide. The fact that these shameful and violent remarks came at a prayer breakfast make them that much more disappointing," Golden said in a statement.

Cohen's remarks make him the latest Democrat to have their comments about the president come under fire in recent weeks. The USA TODAY NETWORK - Tennessee independently obtained audio of Cohen's comments.


Last month, Mark Brown, an operative for the Tennessee Democratic Party working to help Bredesen's candidacy, came under fire for comments he made on Twitter in 2016 and 2017 in which referred to Trump as "Putin's b---- and a "f-----gMoron" and "Racist much, f--kstick?" and his supporters as "idiots."

During the rest of his speech, Cohen said Tennessee has history of "great senators" which he said included Republicans like Howard Baker, Bill Frist and Bob Corker and Democrats Al Gore Sr. and Al Gore Jr.

"We need another senator we can be proud of, who will vote on issues, who will vote with his mind and will vote regardless and that’s Phil Bredesen. It’s not Marsha Blackburn," Cohen said

Poll: Lou Barletta and Bob Casey in Dead Heat in Pennsylvania Senate Race

(https://media-breitbart-com.cdn.ampproject.org/i/s/media.breitbart.com/media/2018/01/lou-barletta-bob-casey-Getty-Images.jpg)

Rep. Lou Barletta (R-PA) and Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) are in a dead heat in the Pennsylvania Senate race, according to a poll released on Monday.

A Commonwealth Leaders Fund poll found that Sen. Bob Casey leads by only two points, with Casey at 47 percent, Barletta at 45 percent, and 6.1 percent of Pennsylvania voters undecided. The poll had a 3.6-point margin of error, making the Pennsylvania Senate race a virtual toss-up.

The poll also weighted heavily for a significant Democrat turnout that outpaces previous “Democratic waves.” The poll suggested that Democrats will have a five-point turnout advantage over Republicans. However, if Democrat turnout drops below five percent over Republicans, the Commonwealth suggests it could spell trouble for Sen. Casey’s chances of getting re-elected.

The survey also found that a majority of Pennsylvania voters, 53 percent, strongly or somewhat approve of how President Donald Trump handles the presidency.

Congressman Barletta hopes to unseat the Democrat senator in the 2018 midterm elections. Barletta was one of the first Republican congressmen to endorse Donald Trump during the 2016 Republican presidential primaries and has championed Trump’s America First agenda of building a wall, cracking down on illegal immigration, and combatting sanctuary cities.


Last week, Barletta chastised Sen. Casey for supporting sanctuary cities. Juan Ramon Vasquez, a 46-year old Honduran national, was sentenced to two years in jail for entering the country illegally. Vasquez raped a five-year-old after Philadelphia, a sanctuary city, ignored an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer and released him.

Barletta asked rhetorically in a statement to Breitbart News, “How would Bob Casey justify his support for sanctuary cities to the family of the little girl who was raped? Does Bob Casey believe it was a sanctuary city for them?”

Sen. Casey voted against legislation in 2016 to defund sanctuary cities, including Philadelphia, as well as Kate’s Law, which imposes harsher penalties on illegal immigrants who re-enter the United States. Kate’s Law would have hit Vasquez, who re-entered the country after being deported.

“If someone is deported for a criminal conviction then we need to make sure they are prevented from ever coming back into this country,” Sen. Casey said in a 2016 statement.

Generic Congressional Ballot Is Dead Even

For the first time in months, Democrats and Republicans are tied on the Rasmussen Reports Generic Congressional Ballot.

The latest telephone and online survey finds that 44% of Likely U.S. Voters would choose the Democratic candidate if the elections for Congress were held today. Another 44% would now opt for the Republican. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and eight percent (8%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here

Look for Trump to really go after that 'Failed Socialist Mayor' the Dems nominated. Should make for a good show when he does his rallies down there.

Big time win for the GOP if they can flip that Nelson Senate seat red this November.

Rick Scott set to face Bill Nelson in Florida's high-stakes Senate race

(https://thehill-com.cdn.ampproject.org/ii/w1200/thehill.com/sites/default/files/styles/article_full/public/scottrick_nelsonbill_022318getty.jpg?itok=rktYlOzh)

Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) is set to face off against Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) in what is expected to be one of the most closely watched - and expensive - Senate races of 2018.

Scott, a two-term governor, easily secured the Republican nomination to challenge Nelson on Tuesday, with The Associated Press projecting he won 89 percent of the vote. He faced only nominal primary opposition from perennial candidate Rocky De La Fuente, who is on the ballot in several states.

Nelson was uncontested for the Democratic Senate nomination.

Republicans have set their sights on taking out Nelson, a longtime lawmaker who has served in the Senate since 2001.



Scott has wasted no time in mounting an aggressive campaign against the senior Florida senator, spending millions in the state's notoriously expensive media markets to air attack ads.

Nelson has been far outspent by Scott, a wealthy health care executive, who has already dropped more than $20 million of his personal funds on his Senate bid.

So far, the Florida governor has dropped more than $27.7 million on the race.



Nelson, on the other hand, has spent just over $6 million, according to recent federal filings, leading to concerns he is being too complacent.

Both candidates have been dogged by unflattering headlines in recent weeks. Scott has faced questions about potential conflicts of interest arising from his investments, and accusations of favoring political donors for contracts and jobs.

For his part, Nelson has continued to face questions about a comment made to the Tampa Bay Times earlier this month suggesting that Russian hackers had penetrated voting systems throughout Florida.

Barack Obama's return: good or bad for Democrats?

(https://s.yimg.com/lo/api/res/1.2/_zymS52OdOB8oCz1Eg7eWQ--/YXBwaWQ9eW15O3E9NzU7dz02NDA7c209MTtpbD1wbGFuZQ--/http://globalfinance.zenfs.com/images/US_AHTTP_AP_NEWSBRIEFS/d5bdd5ce41aa493e932053d9fb02aeef_original.jpg)

Obama's return poses challenges for both the former president and his party. For one, Obama has struggled to turn admiration for him into votes when he's not on the ballot. Democrats lost significant ground in the 2010 and 2014 midterms and his enthusiastic campaigning for Hillary Clinton didn't carry her across the finish line in 2016. Perhaps more importantly, Obama's public re-entry into politics could serve as a motivating factor for Republicans, potentially handing the GOP a gift at a time when they face an uphill battle to maintain their grip on Congress.

"This is perfect for us," said Rep. Lou Barletta, the Republican challenging Casey for the Senate seat. "It will energize Republicans as a reminder."

The former president will also "energize those blue-collar Democrats who worried about their jobs under Obama and went out to vote for Donald Trump," Barletta added.

New Senate race poll drops — and it’s bad news for Beto

Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz has a nine-point lead in his bid for reelection, according to a new poll released Tuesday.

With seven weeks until Election Day, Cruz has a 54 percent to 45 percent lead over Democratic challenger U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke of El Paso among likely voters, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday.

“The Texas U.S. Senate race between Sen. Ted Cruz and Congressman Beto O’Rourke, and Democratic hopes for an upset win there, have boosted talk of a Senate takeover,” said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the poll. “These numbers may calm that talk.

“Congressman O’Rourke may be drawing big crowds and media attention, but Texas likely voters like Sen. Cruz better.”

Ninety-three percent of likely Texas voters say their mind is already made up in this race, which has been more competitive than expected in a state that has not elected a Democrat to statewide office in more than 20 years.

Tuesday’s poll comes nearly two months after a previous Quinnipiac poll, which looked at registered voters, showed Cruz with 49 percent of the vote to O’Rourke’s 43 percent. A Texas Lyceum poll released that same day showed Cruz with a slim lead of 41 percent to O’Rourke’s 39 percent.

Poll officials warn that Tuesday’s poll is their first survey of likely voters “and can not be compared to earlier surveys of registered voters.”

Breaking it down
Cruz has support from men, 57 percent who say they’ll vote for Cruz, and white voters, 66 percent who say they’ll vote for Cruz.

Women aren’t as sharply divided in this race, with 50 percent supporting Cruz and 48 percent supporting O’Rourke.

At the same time, 97 percent of black voters and 54 percent of Hispanic voters say they’ll support O’Rourke, the poll shows.

While Cruz has support from 94 percent of Republicans and O’Rourke has support from 94 percent of Democrats, Independent voters are leaning toward O’Rourke, with 51 percent saying they’ll support him and 47 percent supporting Cruz, the poll shows.

This Quinnipiac survey was conducted Sept. 11-17, reaching 807 likely voters on landlines and cell phones. The margin of error is plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.

The poll also shows that Republican Gov. Greg Abbott leads 58-39 over Democrat Lupe Valdez in his re-election bid.

And Texans are divided on the job approval rating for President Donald Trump. They are split 49-49, according to the poll.

Republican wins Texas Special Election...Hillary won district by 12!!!

Flores defeats Gallego in Senate District 19

(https://media.breitbart.com/media/2018/09/Senator-Elect-Pete-Flores-AP-Photo-Eric-Gay-640x480.jpg)

Voters elected political newcomer Pete Flores to the Texas Senate on Tuesday, flipping a Democratic district red for the first time in 139 years and bolstering Republicans’ supermajority in the chamber ahead of the November elections.

A retired game warden, Flores defeated former state and U.S. Rep. Pete Gallego for the Senate District 19 seat after receiving backing from some of the state’s most prominent politicians, including Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, and U.S. Sens John Cornyn and Ted Cruz.

We conservatives are conservative in the way we make approaches. The gunfight’s not over until the last shot’s fired,” Flores told the Express-News after Gallego conceded in a phone call just before 9 p.m. “The last shot’s been fired.”


According the Secretary of State’s website, Flores won with 53 percent of the vote to Gallego’s 47 percent with 44,487 ballots cast.

Flores and Gallego competed in Tuesday’s runoff after emerging from an eight-candidate field in first- and second-place, respectively, in July’s special election to replace former Sen. Carlos Uresti. The longtime lawmaker vacated his seat in June after being convicted of 11 felony charges.

Voters elected political newcomer Pete Flores to the Texas Senate on Tuesday, Sep. 18. Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick addressed the watch party in San Antonio.

Media: San Antonio Express-News
In his victory speech, Flores reflected about the historic significance of his win and the job ahead.

“This district has not been Republican since Reconstruction. And in September of 2018, it’s Republican once again,” Flores told supporters. “The work starts tomorrow.”

Christian Archer, Gallego’s campaign strategist, said he was shocked by the results, adding that they weren’t able to generate as much excitement as the Republicans.

“I don’t have any regrets, but I have a lot of disappointment,” Archer said.

Flores’ win marked an incredible upset in a district that political observers said shouldn’t have been competitive for Republicans. Low turnout in special elections and high-level GOP interests in preserving a Senate supermajority helped push Flores across the line, they said.

“It will provide a completely unexpected gift for Republicans for the next legislative session,” said Mark Jones, a professor of political science at Rice University.

Jones said Flores’ victory all but assured a Republican supermajority next year, which would allow Senate Republicans to bring bills to the floor without any Democratic support

“Tonight, I doubt anyone other than Pete Flores is happier than Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick,” Jones said.

Indeed, Patrick was jubilant at Flores’ victory party at Don Pedro’s restaurant on San Antonio’s Southwest Side.

“Tonight, you all just made history,” Patrick told supporters. “For the first time in history, we have 21 Republican senators. For the first time in history, we have a Hispanic Republican senator.”

Patrick, who spent around $175,000 on Flores’ campaign, said the supermajority was secured Tuesday night.

“This guy gives us a two-thirds majority,” he said.

Late Tuesday, the Republican Party of Texas also touted Flores’ win.

“Congratulations to Peter Flores on his stunning victory in SD 19 tonight — a thrilling win for Peter Flores, the citizens of SD 19 and Republicans across Texas,” Chairman James Dickey said in a statement.

More than 25,000 Texans voted in the early voting period and by mail before Tuesday. Some county election officials said they’ve seen higher turnout in the runoff than the special election a few months ago.

Brandon Rottinghaus, a professor of political science at the University of Houston and author of “Inside Texas Politics,” credited Gallego’s loss to complacency.

Earlier Tuesday, he said Flores’ candidacy energized state GOP leaders who saw the district as a potential steal.

In Medina County, a line started to form at the polling location in Castroville around 4:30 p.m.

Hilda Mendoza, the election judge there, said turnout was higher than expected, which she said was likely because the election pitted a Republican against a Democrat.

“It was an enormous ... increase” from the special election across Devine, Hondo and Castroville, Mendoza said.

Voters in the heavily-Republican district said they were confident Flores would win. Others said they did not want to elect Gallego, who previously represented the county.

“We’ve had Pete Gallego and I wasn’t happy with what he did before,” Marie Rowe said.

In Bexar County, Elections Administrator Jacque Callanen said turnout was relatively low, but impressive for a special election.

“They’re voting like crazy,” Callanen said.

At around 6:30 p.m., as pollsters were packing up “Vote Here” signs at Collier Elementary School in South San Antonio, Jose Duran cast his ballot for Gallego.

“The seat was empty. You have to fill it with somebody,” Duran said. He preferred Gallego because of his experience in government, he said.

Ruben Trejo, who also voted in the final hour, said the choice was simple: He’s a Democrat, so he also chose Gallego.

The last Republican to hold the seat was Andrew Phelps McCormick. According to the Legislative Library of Texas, he left office in 1879.

Democrat Ben Jealous Struggles in Blue Maryland

(https://wamu.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/HoganJealous2-1780x1002.jpg)


Ben Jealous compared his decisive Maryland Democratic primary victory in June to climbing the world's second-highest mountain — a prelude, he hopes, to ascending the state's political Mount Everest to knock off popular Republican Gov. Larry Hogan. Instead, Jealous has had to reverse course in recent weeks after some highly publicized missteps.

Badly outmatched in fundraising in a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans 2-1, Jealous is struggling so far to become Maryland's first black governor and prevent the first re-election of a Republican governor in the heavily blue state since 1954.

Voters have elected just two black governors in U.S. history — in 2006 in Massachusetts and 1989 in Virginia. Jealous is one of three black candidates running for governor this year, along with Democrats Stacey Abrams of Georgia and Andrew Gillum of Florida. Jealous is facing the steepest challenge of the three, running against an incumbent while Abrams and Gillum are running for open seats.

A Goucher College poll released Wednesday indicated a staggering gap between Hogan and Jealous, with Hogan leading by 22 percentage points, 54 percent to 32 percent. The poll by the Sarah T. Hughes Field Politics Center was conducted Tuesday to Sunday. It found Hogan had the support of 38 percent of Democrats. The poll of 831 Maryland adults had a margin of error of 3.4 percentage points.

The Jealous campaign says the poll is underestimating the number of voters they believe will turn out in November in a heavily Democratic state.

"It shows that public pollsters, just as they did in 2014 when they had Larry Hogan down by 17 points in October, continue to underestimate voter turnout dynamics,'' said Kevin Harris, a senior adviser to Jealous' campaign.

Texas is at least another 10 years away from electing a Democrat in my opinion

This is the reason the Republicans must embrace a more Nationalist identity or just vanish.

Strict enforcement of the border and controlled immigration will ensure a solid wage for middle class.

You do that and you secure Florida, Ohio and Texas.

Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and even Minnesota come into play at that point.

Cruz is just sweating now because he is so well known and let's face it, he's a contentious guy and people will come out on both sides.

If this is John Cornyn running for re election we are not even having this discussion. He runs away with a double digit victory easy

Tenn. Democrat aims for Senate win by edging away from party

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Phil Bredesen is a Democrat. But he'd rather you not mention that.

"I need to make clear to everybody my independence from all of the national Democratic stuff," said Bredesen, the former two-term governor of Tennessee who is now running for the U.S. Senate.

So far, his strategy appears to be working. According to internal polling by both parties, Bredesen has a narrow lead over Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn in a state that President Donald Trump won by 26 points, and capturing the open seat would strengthen Democrats' chances of taking back control of the Senate in the November elections.

Bredesen represents the irony facing Democrats this fall. The party is moving to the left but its prospects of regaining the Senate hinge on decidedly moderate candidates running in states Trump carried by a wide margin.

With just over six weeks until Election Day, one of Bredesen's biggest challenges may be divorcing his race from Democrats' overall Senate chances.

Asked whether he wanted former President Barack Obama or other party leaders to join him campaigning before Election Day, Bredesen said simply, "No."

Republican Party Favorability Highest in Seven Years

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

* Republican favorability at 45%, Democrats at 44%

* Democrats generally have had the upper hand in favorability ratings

* Major gains for Republican Party within the party, including leaners



WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Forty-five percent of Americans now have a favorable view of the Republican Party, a nine-point gain from last September's 36%. It is the party's most positive image since it registered 47% in January 2011, shortly after taking control of the House in the 2010 midterm elections. Forty-four percent give the Democratic Party a favorable rating.

Line graph. Forty-five percent of Americans view the Republican Party favorably; 44% say the same of Democrats.
The parity in Republicans' and Democrats' favorable ratings marks a change from what has generally been the case since Barack Obama's election as president in November 2008. Republicans have usually been rated less positively than Democrats over this time, with the Republican Party's favorability rating for the last decade averaging 39%, compared with the Democratic Party's 44%.

Only one other time in the last decade has the Republican Party had a significantly higher score than the Democratic Party. That one exception came in November 2014, immediately after elections that saw Republicans capture control of the Senate and expand their majority in the House, when 42% rated the GOP favorably and 36% the Democrats.

Republicans Now More Likely to View Their Party Favorably
The overall increase in the favorable image of the Republican Party is a result of a jump in the positive views of Republicans, including independents who lean toward the party. The percentage of Republicans and leaners with favorable views of their party grew from 67% last September to 85% now.

At the time of last September's poll, congressional Republicans were in the final throes of an unsuccessful attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act, also known as "Obamacare," and were losing a highly publicized battle with Democrats over a debt ceiling bill. Since then, Republicans have passed a tax cut bill that was supported by a vast majority of Republicans, and the economy has continued to make gains under the Republican administration of Donald Trump.

Two other major subgroups that tend to be more Republican than the overall population -- men and those living in middle-income households -- have become more likely to view the Republican Party favorably in the past year.

Ellison seeks House ethics investigation of abuse allegation

Minnesota Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison said Wednesday he's requesting a House Ethics Committee investigation into the allegation of physical abuse from an ex-girlfriend that is clouding his bid for attorney general and complicating Democrats' push to investigate allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Karen Monahan said last month Ellison dragged her off a bed by her feet while screaming obscenities at her. She claimed to have video footage of the 2016 incident but has declined to release it. Ellison, a longtime and fiercely liberal congressman from Minneapolis and deputy chairman of the Democratic National Committee, has denied it ever happened.

McCaskill takes a hit in the polls after opposing Kavanaugh confirmation

(https://bc.marfeel.com/statics/i/ps/www.americanthinker.com/images/bucket/2018-09/209399.jpg?mrf-size=l)


Incumbent Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill came out in opposition to confirming Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court 10 days ago. This move may have been ill advised as polls show she now trails her GOP opponent, Josh Hawley.

Previous polls in the last month have been tied. Hawley's slight surge after the senator announced her opposition to Kavanaugh may be an omen of things to come.


Breitbart:

A new poll released by The Missouri Scout on Saturday shows that Republican challenger Josh Hawley has taken a two point lead over Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) in the Missouri Senate race just days after she announced she will be voting against the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
Hawley leads McCaskill by a margin of 48 percent to 46 percent in the poll conducted by Missouri Scout over two days, from Wednesday, September 26 to Thursday, September 27.

McCaskill announced her opposition to Kavanaugh on September 19. The second day of the poll was conducted on the same day Judge Kavanaugh and Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused him of attempting to sexually assault her 36 years ago at a time and place she cannot recall and with no corroborating witnesses or evidence, testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Significantly, the poll found that 49 percent of likely voters said the Supreme Court confirmation process for Brett Kavanaugh has made them less likely to vote for McCaskill, while only 42 percent said it made them more likely to vote for her.

The overall seven point deficit for McCaskill on this important question helps explain why Hawley has jumped into a two point lead. Even though the results are barely within the 2.5 percent margin of error, they are different than three national polls conducted earlier in September, all of which showed the race tied.

New poll suggests Heidi Heitkamp in trouble if she votes against Kavanaugh, hurting Democrats' chances of Senate takeover

(http://i0.wp.com/www.nationalreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/kevin-cramer-heidi-heitkamp-north-dakota.jpg?fit=789%2C460&ssl=1)


A new poll shows Republican challenger Rep. Kevin Cramer leading Sen. Heidi Heitkamp by a 10- point margin, with North Dakotans overwhelmingly in favor of confirming Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Losing a race in North Dakota would make it significantly more difficult for Democrats to retake the Senate.

The poll, from Mason Dixon and North Dakota's NBC affiliate, shows Cramer opening up a 51 percent to 41 percent lead over the Democratic incumbent.

The poll also finds North Dakotans support the confirmation of Kavanaugh by a 60 percent to 27 percent margin. Furthermore, the survey found that at 21 percent, more people rated Kavanaugh as their top concern than any other single issue.

The poll was taken after sexual misconduct allegations surfaced against Kavanaugh, but before last week's hearing on the matter.

Should Democrats lose North Dakota, it would mean that they'd have to hold all of their other Senate seats in red states, win in Arizona and Nevada, and also win in either Texas or Tennessee.

If this polling is confirmed by others, it will put heavy pressure on Heitkamp to back Kavanaugh if this week's FBI investigation does not turn up any evidence that discredits him or corroborates accuser Christine Blasey Ford

Sliming Maria Elvira Salazar: Laughable Desperation Move, Even for the Democrats

(https://electionprojection.com/2018-elections/images/florida-27th-district-election-2018-maria-salazar-vs-donna-shalala.jpg)


(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dc8HC6UWsAAiVwv.jpg)


The Party fired off a press release Friday headlined, "Maria Elvira Salazar Condemned Over Insulting and Divisive Comments About Immigrants." It accused the Hispanic television personality of making "highly insulting and divisive comments about America's immigrants."

Really? A news professional as popular as Salazar, who until January covered the heart of Miami, one of the most diverse communities in America ... a racist? This I had to see.

I Beg to Differ"Salazar's comments take a page from Donald Trump's playbook by diminishing the contributions of undocumented immigrants and insinuating they are mostly suited 'to pick up Jalapeño peppers in Southern California or to clean toilets in Orlando or in Manhattan,'" said Javier Hernandez, spokesperson for the Florida Democratic Party.

An outraged Hernandez called Salazar's "divisive rhetoric ... disgusting," claiming "Maria Elvira is peddling racist stereotypes and diminishing the many contributions immigrants have made, and continue to make, throughout our great nation.

"Contrary to what she and Trump might believe, immigrants are more than just 'the help.'"

Well, lucky for recipients of the press release, the FDP included "proof" -- video conversations Salazar had with MSNBC and the Miami Herald editorial board.

Maybe the Party thinks voters are dolts, that all Hernandez has to do is drop Trump's name in the same breath as the Republican candidate's, and Salazar's goose is cooked.

Or maybe they think the headline will have the same effect as subliminal advertising, that voters are only headline grazers who won't investigate the latest thought drummed into their heads, won't watch the video "proof."

In either case, it's an attempt to treat the voters of CD 27 like blithering idiots.

Hernandez turned Salazar into a monster (he hoped) by pulling a line out of her conversation with Kasie Hunt during an MSNBC interview: "'That's why we need to reform our immigration system'," he quoted the Republican as saying, "'and we need to give visas to those that are coming to pick up Jalapeño peppers in Southern California or to clean toilets in Orlando or in Manhattan'."

He quoted her again during her Sept. 26 editorial board meeting with the Herald: "'Give people with no criminal record, the cleaning ladies, the people that are mowing the lawn, they’re picking the jalapeño peppers in Southern California -- those people deserve to have some type of legality, even though they are illegal or they came in without the proper documentation, but the system allowed them to stay. ...

“'Right now in Texas, I don’t know if you know this, but in Texas, you have an underground railroad funded and led by the business owners of America -- construction people, people that need to finish the homes, so they need workers. Somebody has to put the cement and the 4x4s. So the business-owners, or the construction moguls, are the coyotes.”

These are the words, the Party spokesman tells us, that should outrage all voters.

New Senate race poll drops — and it’s bad news for Beto

Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz has a nine-point lead in his bid for reelection, according to a new poll released Tuesday.

With seven weeks until Election Day, Cruz has a 54 percent to 45 percent lead over Democratic challenger U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke of El Paso among likely voters, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday.

“The Texas U.S. Senate race between Sen. Ted Cruz and Congressman Beto O’Rourke, and Democratic hopes for an upset win there, have boosted talk of a Senate takeover,” said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the poll. “These numbers may calm that talk.

“Congressman O’Rourke may be drawing big crowds and media attention, but Texas likely voters like Sen. Cruz better.”

Ninety-three percent of likely Texas voters say their mind is already made up in this race, which has been more competitive than expected in a state that has not elected a Democrat to statewide office in more than 20 years.

Tuesday’s poll comes nearly two months after a previous Quinnipiac poll, which looked at registered voters, showed Cruz with 49 percent of the vote to O’Rourke’s 43 percent. A Texas Lyceum poll released that same day showed Cruz with a slim lead of 41 percent to O’Rourke’s 39 percent.

Poll officials warn that Tuesday’s poll is their first survey of likely voters “and can not be compared to earlier surveys of registered voters.”

Breaking it down
Cruz has support from men, 57 percent who say they’ll vote for Cruz, and white voters, 66 percent who say they’ll vote for Cruz.

Women aren’t as sharply divided in this race, with 50 percent supporting Cruz and 48 percent supporting O’Rourke.

At the same time, 97 percent of black voters and 54 percent of Hispanic voters say they’ll support O’Rourke, the poll shows.

While Cruz has support from 94 percent of Republicans and O’Rourke has support from 94 percent of Democrats, Independent voters are leaning toward O’Rourke, with 51 percent saying they’ll support him and 47 percent supporting Cruz, the poll shows.

This Quinnipiac survey was conducted Sept. 11-17, reaching 807 likely voters on landlines and cell phones. The margin of error is plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.

The poll also shows that Republican Gov. Greg Abbott leads 58-39 over Democrat Lupe Valdez in his re-election bid.

And Texans are divided on the job approval rating for President Donald Trump. They are split 49-49, according to the poll.

https://www.star-telegram.com/news/state/texas/article218563900.html



The Federal Elections Commission seems to have found some not-too honest money in the coffers of Democratic Senate Challenger Beto O’Rourke.

According to the Daily Caller, the FEC has flagged O’Rourke’s campaign for accepting “excessive” and “impermissible” donations from individuals from outside of the country.

Kavanaugh effect? Quinnipiac shows Dem generic ballot lead cut in half in a month

Does this represent a natural momentum swing as voters get more engaged ahead of the midterms, or evidence of something more? Quinnipiac has produced some of the largest gaps in the aggregated polling on the generic congressional ballot this cycle. Their previous poll, taken at the beginning of September, showed Republicans trailing by a disastrous 14 points with two months to go before the midterms.



Today, it’s seven points — among registered voters:

Five weeks before the Midterm Elections, 49 percent of American voters back the Democratic candidate in their local race for the U.S. House of Representatives and 42 percent support the Republican candidate, according to a Quinnipiac University National Poll released today.

This compares to the results of a September 12 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University National Poll, showing Democrats with a 52 – 38 percent lead. …

“The numbers suggest the big blue wave may have lost some of its momentum as House races tighten. President Donald Trump’s approval remains deeply in the red,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.

Bear in mind that the Q-poll’s margin of error is ±3.7%. The movement for either party falls right around the MoE — three points down for Democrats, four points up for Republicans. It’s possible that this is statistical noise, but it doesn’t seem likely. Also worth noting: this is the lowest level polled for Democrats in the Quinnipiac series since at least the first week of July, after which they have remained at 50% or above until now. It also ties the highest level achieved by Republicans in the series from mid-August.

This certainly indicates some movement off the norm, at least in the Q-poll. And it may not actually indicate a turnout model change, either, as Quinnipiac still isn’t applying a likely-voter model to its polling. This change has occurred in the larger population of registered voters, suggesting that a likely-voter model might have shown more momentum in the GOP’s direction.

Their previous poll, taken at the beginning of September, showed Republicans trailing by a disastrous 14 points with two months to go before the midterms.



Today, it’s seven points — among registered voters:

Five weeks before the Midterm Elections, 49 percent of American voters back the Democratic candidate in their local race for the U.S. House of Representatives and 42 percent support the Republican candidate, according to a Quinnipiac University National Poll released today.

This compares to the results of a September 12 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University National Poll, showing Democrats with a 52 – 38 percent lead. …

“The numbers suggest the big blue wave may have lost some of its momentum as House races tighten. President Donald Trump’s approval remains deeply in the red,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.

Bear in mind that the Q-poll’s margin of error is ±3.7%. The movement for either party falls right around the MoE — three points down for Democrats, four points up for Republicans. It’s possible that this is statistical noise, but it doesn’t seem likely. Also worth noting: this is the lowest level polled for Democrats in the Quinnipiac series since at least the first week of July, after which they have remained at 50% or above until now. It also ties the highest level achieved by Republicans in the series from mid-August.

This certainly indicates some movement off the norm, at least in the Q-poll. And it may not actually indicate a turnout model change, either, as Quinnipiac still isn’t applying a likely-voter model to its polling. This change has occurred in the larger population of registered voters, suggesting that a likely-voter model might have shown more momentum in the GOP’s direction.

The Democrats better start sucking up to Blacks, Latinos, and self-hating white women even more because they've lost most of us for a very long time to come after this shameless hatchet job on Mr. Kavanaugh. That doesn't even touch on the fact that they have NO program, no economic platform, no alternatives to Trump's big trade deals, the Iran-NK brinksmanship and diplomacy that are clearly working (Iran's foreign minister was on CNN last Sunday bitching about them, and NK's dictator is on his knees politically), or his tapping into the American spirit with his rallies, off-script press conferences, and tax cuts & jobs. THEY HAVE NO FUCKING PROGRAM.

Blue wave my ass. Shallow puddle with small ripples by the miniature elizabeth warren fangirls on Twitter is more accurate. Keep hashtagging each other from your iphones, nobody fucking reads it. The rest of us have jobs.

Poll: Amid Kavanaugh Confirmation Battle, Democratic Enthusiasm Edge Evaporates


(https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2018/10/03/gettyimages-986182990_wide-66e81e3959d305a743a03da228c9cb1062a348f9-s800-c85.jpg)

Just over a month away from critical elections across the country, the wide Democratic enthusiasm advantage that has defined the 2018 campaign up to this point has disappeared, according to a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll.

In July, there was a 10-point gap between the number of Democrats and Republicans saying the November elections were "very important." Now, that is down to 2 points, a statistical tie.

Democrats' advantage on which party's candidate they are more likely to support has also been cut in half since last month. Democrats still retain a 6-point edge on that question, but it was 12 points after a Marist poll conducted in mid-September.

The results come amid the pitched and hotly partisan confirmation battle over Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court. Multiple women have accused Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct when he was in high school and college. He categorically denies all the allegations. The FBI is conducting a supplemental investigation into the accusations that is expected to be wrapped up by the end of this week.

With Democrats already fired up for this election, the Kavanaugh confirmation fight has apparently had the effect of rousing a dormant GOP base.

"The result of hearings, at least in the short run, is the Republican base was awakened," noted Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, which conducted the poll.

While Democrats and Republicans are now equally enthusiastic about the midterms, the story is very different for key Democratic base groups and independents. While 82 percent of Democrats say the midterms are very important, that's true of just 60 percent of people under 30, 61 percent of Latinos and 65 percent of independents.

Democrats need to net 23 seats to take back control of the House, but if those groups stay home in large numbers, it would blunt potential Democratic gains. With 34 days to go until Election Day, it all points to another election dominated by party activists.

"If there aren't 34 dramatic moments [between now and then], it will be 'my base versus your base,' " Miringoff said. He noted that the Republican move to push Kavanaugh's confirmation forward, despite his unpopularity and that more people believe accuser Christine Blasey Ford than Kavanaugh, appears to be intended to fire up the GOP base in hopes of retaining control of Congress.

"The Republicans' approach has been, and continues to be, all about the base," Miringoff said. "This is their M.O., and that's what we're seeing. That works if turnout is not high.

Trump likely to win whether or not Kavanaugh is confirmed

The ugly partisan brawl over U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation remains undecided, but President Donald Trump appears likely to come out on top regardless of the outcome.

If Kavanaugh is confirmed by the Senate in a vote planned on Saturday, Trump will have succeeded in placing his second justice on the top U.S. court and fulfilled his pledge to solidify its conservative majority.

Even if Kavanaugh is rejected, the battle to save his nomination in the face of sexual misconduct allegations has jolted a slumbering Republican base to life just ahead of the Nov. 6 elections, political strategists and new polls suggest.

Trump's pugnacious style was well suited to the messy drama, and his decision to stick by Kavanaugh, mock the woman who accused the nominee of sexual assault and use the controversy to fire up supporters could help Republicans in key Senate races in conservative states - even if it turns off independents and women voters in suburban House of Representatives districts that were already trending away from Republicans.

Trump, GOP Get A Big Kavanaugh Bounce — IBD/TIPP Poll

The Democrats' all-out attack on Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh, which culminated in a blisteringly partisan hearing last Thursday, may have backfired on the party just before the November elections.

The latest IBD/TIPP poll finds that President Donald Trump's approval ratings made a strong rebound this month, with a four-point gain to 40%, reversing almost the entire loss he suffered the month before. His disapproval rating went from 56% last month to 54% now.

What's more, the Democrats' advantage on the generic ballot question plunged from 11 points last month to just 2 points this month.

One side is still happy because their pick is still in the whitehouse and the other side is happy because they made some headway. I suppose it’s nof all bad if the wave does happen.

Poll: Martha McSally gaining in Senate race against Kyrsten Sinema

(https://media.fox10phoenix.com/media.fox10phoenix.com/photo/2018/08/28/SENATE%20-%20SINEMA%20VS%20MCSALLY_1535515058978.png_5981332_ver1.0_640_360.jpg)


By abc15.com staff | Updated Oct. 9, 2018, 9:30 p.m. PDT
 
A new poll of Arizona's contested Senate race shows frontrunner Republican Martha McSally increasing her lead over Democrat Kyrsten Sinema.


In the latest ABC15/OH Predictive Insights poll, McSally has a six-point edge on Sinema, 47 percent to 41 percent. Eight percent said they had yet to decide on a candidate.

Both candidates received less support than they did in September when McSally held a 49-46 margin, the first time ABC15/OHPI polling showed her in the lead to replace retiring Sen. Jeff Flake.

Chief pollster Mike Noble said increasing approval for President Trump in recent weeks and the addition of Green Party candidate Angela Green, who received four percent in the poll, to the race have contributed to the separation between McSally and Sinema.

"What we saw all year was Republicans were less united compared to Democrats, who were more united or fully united," Noble said. "So whether they disliked Trump or had issues with the establishment, now what we've seen is [the] Kavanaugh confirmation process has really brought all those Republicans home and has solidified the Republican base, hence why you're seeing all the favorable numbers toward McSally."

However, Noble isn't sure whether the energy provided to Republicans by the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court will last until November 6.

"Since Kavanaugh now has been confirmed, will that hold from now until Election Day? Or, since getting confirmed, do [Republicans] correct back to their previous position? [That] obviously would be not good for the GOP and great for Democrats," Noble said.

The poll, conducted October 1 and 2 through a mix of cell phones and landlines with likely Arizona general election voters, has a margin of error of plus or minus four percent. The sample of 600 respondents has demographics accurately reflected party affiliation, gender, region and age.

Generic Congressional Ballot Is All Tied Up

With less than a month to Election Day, the Generic Congressional Ballot is now dead even.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone and online survey finds that 45% of Likely U.S. Voters would choose the Democratic candidate if the elections for Congress were held today. Another 45% would opt for the Republican. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and eight percent (8%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

I swear , some of you must live in a political bubble.
The most recent poll shows a HUGE gap with females .
63% of females = will vote democrat on the Nov 6 election

33% of females will vote republican

That's a 30% gap for the GOP.

Men are close but the GOP has a lead: 50% men GOP , 45% men dem

The OVERALL vote and poll avg is 10-13% in favor of dems.

Unless dems fail to show up and vote, a 30-40 seat gain and control of the house of reps will go democratic this time.

The senate will remain close overall and it's going to be tough for dems to flip that, even by one seat.

95% of statistics are made up on the spot.

I was one of the few Hillary voters that cautioned everyone it would be a close election in 2016.
Considering she won the popular vote by 3 million . Trump won the elec. college by getting Penn , Ohio and Michigan by a
combined total of 90,000 votes , so it was close for the win.


You never know until the votes are counted, BUT, this looks good for the dems right now.

I'm predicting a 30-40 house seat gain for the dems in 2018. Hold me to that and we'll see who's right in 4 weeks.


I don’t get all the long winded explanations on how close it was or why Trump won.

The mid term for a first term president is notoriously brutal.

Trump could very well lose the House but if he retains the senate (and I believe he will) then it's a solid triple.

That will result in more and more federal judges being seated as the senate controls the process.

If he can replace Ginsburg or another liberal Justice with a conservative type judge then it becomes an absolute home run.

Ginsburg is old, but she's not dead or as far as anyone knows dying. She plans to retire in 5 years in 2023. Stephen Breyer is also pretty old. Any Supreme Court Justice could announce their retirement at anytime regardless of their age or political leaning. What happens with the Supreme Court Justices depends on Trump getting reelected in 2020. It's far too soon to bet on that happening.

Republican Brian Kemp and Democrat Stacey Abrams remain locked in a tight race for Georgia governor less than a month before the election, according to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution/Channel 2 Action News poll that showed an increasingly dwindling number of undecided voters.
The poll showed Kemp ahead of Abrams 47.7 percent to 46.3 percent, a statistically insignificant difference within the poll’s 2.8 percentage point margin of error. Libertarian Ted Metz had 2.3 percent of support, and a slim 4 percent of voters are undecided.


The Sept. 6 AJC/Channel 2 poll showed the candidates deadlocked at 45 percent with 7 percent undecided.

The new poll is the latest to suggest the possibility of a runoff in December if no candidate gets a majority of the vote, though that seems unlikely given the Libertarian’s low support.

The poll holds encouraging news for each political party.

Republicans were likely to cheer the rising approval rating for President Donald Trump, which has edged up roughly 4 percentage points since the September poll, settling at 46.6 percent. His disapproval rating remains steady at about 50 percent.

New poll shows Democrat Shalala trailing GOP opponent in a district Trump lost badly

(https://cbsmiami.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/shalalasalazar.jpg?w=1024)

WASHINGTON
Donna Shalala may be in trouble.

Shalala, a Democrat running in a district that President Donald Trump lost by nearly 20 percentage points in 2016, is trailing Republican TV journalist Maria Elvira Salazar by 2 percentage points in a Mason Dixon-Telemundo 51 poll. The independent poll’s margin of error was 4 percentage points and included a pro-Trump non-party candidate who could siphon votes from Salazar.

Salazar’s unique background as a journalist in a party dominated by President Donald Trump and her appeal with older, Spanish-speaking voters has enabled the GOP to remain competitive. Shalala, one of the most experienced first-time congressional candidates, won a competitive Democratic primary by less than 5 percentage points and has faced criticism from liberal Democrats and Republicans alike for her tenure leading the University of Miami, when campus janitors went on a hunger strike over low wages and the school acquired Cedars Medical Center.

“The numbers look good, they’re great,” Salazar campaign manager Jose Luis Castillo said. “She’s focused on job creation, healthcare, the environment and education. These numbers really reflect that her message, her ideas and vision are continuing to resonate throughout with voters in District 27.”


The poll of 625 registered likely voters was conducted from Oct. 1 to Oct. 6, before Shalala began airing a TV ad that attempts to tie Salazar to Trump. Forty-three percent of respondents approve of Trump while 46 percent disapprove, according to the poll, while Salazar has a net favorable rating of 22 percentage points and Shalala has a net favorability rating of 4 points, though more voters recognize her than Salazar. Forty-two percent of voters support Shalala while 44 percent support Salazar, with 13 percent undecided.

Kavanaugh effect? Nevada poll shows Dean Heller surging to seven-point lead

That’s a nine-point shift towards the Republican in a month, according to Emerson Polling. Gotta be a Kavanaugh effect, right?



Except … the Kavanaugh effect is supposed to be a red-state phenomenon. Heidi Heitkamp and Phil Bredesen are suddenly getting blown out, the theory goes, because although both parties might be furious about the Kavanaugh clusterfark there are waaaaay more Republican voters in their home states than there are Democratic ones. That’s the 2018 curse for Democrats in the Senate: With very few exceptions, they’re fighting on Republican terrain.

But Nevada is one of those exceptions. In fact, it’s the only pick-up opportunity the Dems have in a state won by Hillary Clinton in 2016. If Heller holds on in Nevada, whatever small chance Team Blue has of retaking the Senate is up in smoke.



This was a hybrid poll by Emerson, incorporating automated landline calls and an online survey to arrive at the result. I’m always leery of the fact that they don’t call cell phones, but FiveThirtyEight gives them a very respectable B+ rating on their pollster scorecard. It should also be noted that no other pollster has Heller anywhere near a seven-point margin although this is the third straight survey in which he’s led Democrat Jacky Rosen. (The last two polls each had him ahead by two points.) You can dismiss it as an outlier if you like, or you can look at the three polls collectively as evidence that the electorate is suddenly trending red and the trend is deepening. The last poll Rosen led (by four) was in the field in the days before, during, and after the Ford/Kavanaugh hearing. Ever since it’s been all Heller. Make of that what you will.

I make no predictions, BUT, the Dems have zero platforms, made asses of themselves (too many to list here) and the Kavanaugh hearings, well, they turned into a clown show and to top it off, they can't lie their asses off and literally destroy lives. All that I've pointed out isn't hearsay but rather, FACT. They have zero morals, zero integrity..another fact. This being said they should be destroyed in the mid-terms, but who knows. Look for more accusations of racism (today..see Pocahontas Warren, it'll start there) and fake sexual misconduct by someone going back to the third grade.

New NYT/Siena poll finds Republican Pete Stauber with big lead in Minnesota’s Eighth District

(https://www.minnpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/StauberPrimaryBBQ640.png)

The result of the second major poll of the nationally-watched race in Minnesota’s 8th Congressional District is in, and it’s a good one for Republicans. The New York Times/Siena College survey found Republican Pete Stauber up 15 points on Democrat Joe Radinovich — a huge swing from NYT/Siena’s first poll in the 8th, which had Radinovich ahead by one point.

The live poll, which recorded responses from 507 people over the weekend, has Stauber with 49 percent of the vote, and Radinovich with 34 percent. Thirteen percent were undecided, and the margin of error was 9.2 points. (There is a third-party candidate in the race, the Independence Party’s Ray “Skip” Sandman, whose support was not polled.)

Stauber, a St. Louis County commissioner and former Duluth police officer running as an ally of President Donald Trump, had clear advantages across the demographic and geographic blocs that make up this district, a swath of northeastern Minnesota that includes Duluth, the Brainerd lakes area, the Iron Range, and the northern Twin Cities exurbs.

Per the poll, Stauber had nine-point leads among female voters and voters over 65, a 10-point lead with independents, and a nine-point lead among voters on the Iron Range, the string of mining communities that have been the heart of this longtime DFL stronghold.

Poll: Mitt Romney winning men, women, Republicans and independents in final weeks of Senate race

Three-fourths of Utah’s Democratic voters plan to vote for Jenny Willson in next month’s U.S. Senate election, according to a new Salt Lake Tribune-Hinckley Institute of Politics poll.

But that’s where the good news for Wilson ends, as the poll shows her opponent Mitt Romney winning among men, women, all age groups, Republicans and unaffiliated voters, for an overall lead of 59 percent to Wilson’s 23 percent.

“It’s great to see voters are responding to Mitt’s hard work connecting with Utahns in all 29 counties,” Romney spokeswoman MJ Henshaw said. "To date, Mitt has held 385 campaign events and he will continue to fight for every vote until Election Day.”

'We’ve got a Latino problem': Dems fret midterm turnout in key House districts

A crucial part of the Democratic coalition is not feeling the same enthusiasm for the midterms as other groups.

(https://static.politico.com/44/c8/6e10c9974ee8816235e042c56ae4/181013-lujan-gty-773.jpg)

SAN ANTONIO — Voters are more invested in the 2018 elections than in any recent midterm. But a critical piece of the Democratic coalition — Latino voters — is lagging behind other groups in its interest in the 2018 campaign, an enthusiasm gap that could tip the scales in key battleground House districts.

Latinos make up at least 20 percent of the population in more than a dozen districts that top Democrats' House target list in 2018 — more than half of the 23 seats Democrats must flip to take over the House. But a POLITICO analysis of over 20,000 interviews conducted with battleground-district voters by Siena College and The New York Times shows that Latinos rated themselves less likely to vote than both white and black voters.

Two-thirds of white voters surveyed said they were “almost certain” to vote — the highest rating on a 5-point scale — as did 61 percent of African-Americans. But only 55 percent of the Latinos polled said the same about their plans for next month’s midterm elections, according to POLITICO’s analysis.

The findings — echoed by other public and private polling from groups like Latino Decisions, a Latino-focused polling and research firm whose latest survey showed that more than half of Latino voters have yet to be contacted by a campaign or party group ahead of the midterms — could have an outsize effect in a crescent of battleground House districts running from Texas to the West Coast, where the Hispanic vote is especially important.

Democratic operatives are concerned that Latino engagement is “better than it was in 2014, but not as strong as 2016, and we need closer to 2016 enthusiasm level to flip many of these seats in Texas, California, Florida and Nevada,” said Josh Ulibarri, a Democratic pollster who works on races throughout the country.

“Among Democrats, there continues to be a fear that we’re not doing enough to turn out Latinos,” Ulibarri continued. “We’ve got a Latino problem, and we continue to have a Latino problem.”

The problem could be particularly acute in California, where Democrats “should absolutely be worried about Latinos,” said Paul Mitchell, a nonpartisan data consultant. Latinos make up one-fifth to two-thirds of the population in seven contested California districts, making them “one of the most important factors for Democratic success,” Mitchell added.

Democratic Senate Candidate Kyrsten Sinema in 2011: Arizona Is Famous ‘in a Lindsay Lohan Kind of Way’


(https://1366213136.rsc.cdn77.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/15_daf2d38857d282cddaf1a3601b5defb6.png)



Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D., Ariz.) is running to represent Arizona in the Senate this November, but back in 2011, she said people knew what was going on in Arizona because they were "not famous in a good way."

Sinema described Arizona as "famous in a Lindsay Lohan kind of way," referencing the actress who was repeatedly arrested for drug-related incidents around that time.

"We're not famous in a good way, we're famous in a Lindsay Lohan kind of way," Sinema said. "Not good."

Lohan repeatedly entered rehab for drug addiction and was arrested for drunken driving and theft, stories that dominated much of celebrity news between 2007 and 2012.


This is one in a long series of remarks disparaging the state of Arizona, which have received attention as she nears the general election against against Rep. Martha McSally (R., Ariz.) to fill the Senate seat currently held by Republican Sen. Jeff Flake. Flake is not running for re-election.

In 2010, Sinema tweeted, "Just one day, I'd like Arizona to be in the news for something good. Just one day people."


In 2011, she tweeted, "Dear Rest Of The World, I just want you to know, Arizona wasn't always this crazy. It used to be pretty great, actually. Sincerely, Kyrsten."


Another video from 2011 shows Sinema referring to Arizona as "the meth lab of democracy."


McSally's campaign tweeted that because of these remarks, Sinema was "unfit to serve."

Why Republicans Are Gaining Steam With 27 Days To Go…Enough To Hold The House?
Oct 10, 2018 By Larry Schweikart

Things are looking very good for Republicans with 27 days to go until the election.

1) President Trump has, according to all polling, shot up five points in the last three weeks, and Rasmussen has consistently now had him over 50. This is huge. When Larry Sabato gets out of his lefty funk, every once in a while he says something intelligent, such as when he said earlier this year (correctly) that a Trump appearance is good for five points in a race.

Pollster Richard Baris of @ppdnews says the same thing, that Trump consistently brings a five or six point boost. We saw this in both PA18, where Trump almost got Rick Saccone over the finish line (Saccone was 6 points down prior to Trump’s visit) and in OH12, where Trump did account for Troy Balderson’s victory (again, he was down before Trump came in).  If you want an indicator of where the close races are, watch Trump in the last week of the campaign. Where he goes is where he’s needed.

2) Obviously, the near-character execution of Justice Kavanaugh rebounded enormously to the Republicans’ favor. One caller for a House district in Washington state told me she had seen an overnight change in the response, and of the Democrats she talked to the response was frequently, “I’ve always been a Democrat, but this Judge Kavanaugh stuff . . . .” One pollster, working on the North Dakota race, told me the shift was near-instantaneous, and that over a three-day poll, Heidi Heitkamp went from leading by two, to tied, to down by two. The pollster was so impressed he urged the Republican Kevin Cramer campaign to re-poll a couple of days later, when the shift continued, from Heitkamp tied, to down two, to down eight over three nights.

3) This pattern has been almost identical now in three other states: Missouri, Tennessee, and Texas. Each was close (supposedly—I never bought that Betamale O’Rourke had a shot) then the R went up a couple, then the R shot out to an 8-10 point lead. The same now appears to be happening in Arizona, where Martha McSally was trailing a month ago, then managed a one point lead, then a three point lead, then today a six point lead. More important, Kristen Sinema has plummeted to 41% in an ABC poll. Supposedly Montana is tight, with the last polls showing Matt Rosendale with a one point lead. But pollster Baris maintains that Jon Tester always seems to “overpoll,” and Rosendale may have a larger lead. In Nevada, three straight polls have now put Dean Heller out to a narrow but consistent lead (again, after Trump came in). Rick Scott sees tight polling in Florida, but insiders tell me they are not concerned, that he is extremely popular. The impact of the hurricane slated to hit Florida imminently might have an effect on the election if he bungles matters, but he has proven a terrific administrator. New Jersey, shockingly, remains a dead heat.

I’m always leery of positive polls for Republicans in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, but Trump has shown that molds can be broken. Bob Menendez is such damaged goods that Bob Hugin could pull off the upset of the campaign there. In Ohio, local polling has Jim Renacci down double digits, which is not believable. The same polls have Mike DeWine up a couple in the governor’s race, Republicans have a massive 300,000 registration lead in Ohio after allocating out all the indie voters by prior voting history, and Renacci has an excellent ground game. I think this one is about a 2-point Brown lead, which could be erased by another Trump visit.

Wisconsin and West Virginia are probably tougher nuts. Scott Walker no longer enjoys the aura of invincibility he once had, and it was going to be up to Walker to pull Leah Vukmir across the line. Likewise, while Patrick Morrissey is running a good race in West Virginia, Joe Manchin has successfully (with his Kavanaugh vote) muddied the waters enough to probably hang on. If Trump goes back to West Virginia, it needs to be in the Charleston area. Unfortunately, I have Pennsylvania and Michigan as lost causes. John James is a good candidate whose time had not come. He did not have the name recognition in a very blue state. Perhaps Kid Rock’s aggressive campaigning can help him, but that’s unlikely as of today.

4) The House seems to be right where I put it weeks ago, namely Democrats will pick up a net of 10-15 seats and fall short of control (they need 23, but are going to lose 2 in Minnesota, so they need to pick up at least 25). Interestingly, a raft of hysterical stories about the Republicans in trouble in the House have emerged from the fake news media. . . gee, almost like it was planned, right? Politico‘s was the best, saying the Democrats “led” or were leaning in 209 districts! Oh my God! Republicans are going to lose 209 seats?

Eh, not really. They have already lost 196 seats. That’s where the current Congress is in terms of party representation. What Politico  is saying is that the Dems are on pace to gain between 10 and 15 seats.

Wait a minute, where did we just see that? Oh yeah. I told you. If the Democrats ended up with 209, they would still be 8 short of control of the House.

Even then, however, these races, while extremely fluid, appear to be moving almost in unison rightward. In the past few weeks, both North Carolina “endangered” seats, the Kansas seat held by Yoder, and the Michigan seat held by Bishop all appear to be much safer. At the same time, a New Mexico district and Arizona 1 moved into “flippable” territory (the R, Wendy Rogers, has a three point lead in AZ1 and local GOP officials tell me it is “growing.”)

Overall, however, voter registration matters on both sides of the aisle. In New York and parts of California, Republicans have a significant voter edge in “endangered” districts, while in Pennsylvania, the Democrats have redistricted three districts into completely safe zones for themselves.

Thus, three weeks out my prediction still holds that the Republicans narrowly (5-10 seat margin) hold the House and expand their lead in the Senate by four to seven seats (all Trumpers).

Democrats hold a single-digit advantage over Republicans for control of the House in November's midterm elections, according to a poll released Wednesday by The Economist-YouGov.

The survey of 1,273 registered voters showed 46 percent said that they would support a Democratic candidate for the House next month, while 41 percent said they would support a Republican. Meanwhile, 8 percent remain undecided, and 2 percent said they will not vote at all.

The results in Wednesday's poll release are similar to results released earlier this month from the same pollster, with both parties having gained 1 percentage point of voter support between the two polls, leaving the gap between the parties unchanged.

Male voters were split evenly, 45 percent to 45 percent, between the two parties, while Democrats hold a 9-point advantage among women in the poll. Democrats also hold a slim lead of 3 percentage points over Republicans among independent voters.



Democrats did better among self-identified moderates or politically centrists, with the party enjoying the support of 55 percent of these voters, while 38 percent of the same category said they would support Republicans in November.

The Economist-YouGov poll was conducted from Oct. 14 to 16, and contains a margin of error of 2.8 percentage points for questions asked to registered voters.

Is NJ's Senate race too close for comfort? Democrats spending $3 million to help Menendez

(https://media.breitbart.com/media/2018/07/Collage-Hugin-Menendez-ap-640x480.jpg)

The Senate Democrats' top super PAC said Tuesday that it will spend $3 million on an ad tying Republican Senate candidate Bob Hugin to President Donald Trump, a sign that two-term Sen. Bob Menendez needs help from his party in the campaign's final three weeks.


The announcement by Senate Majority PAC, a group connected to Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York, comes a day after Hillary Clinton headlined a fundraiser in Jersey City for Menendez and Hugin launched an ad that raises unproven prostitution allegations against Menendez.


Recent polls have shown Menendez with leads ranging from 2 to 11 percentage points, and he is still favored to win by handicappers in a state where Clinton beat Trump by 14 points.

But Menendez has higher unfavorable than favorable ratings, fallout from the trial he faced last year on corruption charges that ended in a partial acquittal and then admonishment by the ethics committee. Hugin and a super PAC that supports him have spent most of the year reminding voters about those charges.

The announcement by Senate Majority PAC, a group connected to Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York, comes a day after Hillary Clinton headlined a fundraiser in Jersey City for Menendez and Hugin launched an ad that raises unproven prostitution allegations against Menendez.

Hugin disclosed Monday that he gave his campaign an additional $8.5 million from July through September, bringing his total self-funding to $24 million through Sept. 30. Contributors gave Hugin another $1 million during the quarter, bringing his total contributions from people other than himself to $2.2 million.

Menendez revealed that he raised $2.1 million during the quarter, but he spent $2.9 million, or less in three months than Senate Majority PAC plans to spend in the next three weeks.

As a super PAC, Senate Majority PAC can take unlimited contributions as long as it does not coordinate with any campaigns it supports. Already, outside groups have spent more than $8.1 million, including $3.6 million by a super PAC supporting Hugin, Integrity NJ, and $4.4 million by two backing Menendez, Leadership Alliance and Patients for Affordable Drugs Action.

Florida is probably the most interesting state to watch this mid term because of this combination of super tight, high stake races.

Still think Rick Scott barely pulls it off. That guy is too slick, well funded and connected.

Post-Michael poll: Andrew Gillum, Ron DeSantis deadlocked; Rick Scott narrowly leads Bill Nelson

(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcTVp2lkmhUS2iTeCk3HD9NMeKWR5ZukiqiFcOHYVD-zuC7PNQGk)


In the first poll since Hurricane Michael devastated the Panhandle — and changed the course of state politics — the race for Florida Governor is virtually tied.

Twenty days before Election Day, Democrat Andrew Gillum is at 47 percent, while Republican Ron DeSantis is at 46. However, among those who say they have already voted, DeSantis is at 49 percent, while Gillum is at 45 percent.


A similar scenario is set up for Florida’s U.S. Senate race — heading into the stretch in dead-heat fashion, according to the new survey by St. Pete Polls. Republican Gov. Rick Scott has a two-point lead over Democratic incumbent U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson.

The poll comes with a definitive asterisk as respondents in portions of the Panhandle, specifically the Panama City media market, where Michael delivered his lethal blow, are under-sampled. A slight plurality of these voters typically supports Republican candidates.

Regardless, as Gillum and DeSantis try to find that pose looking still concerned about hurricane victims while scrambling for those last few votes, Florida appears headed toward the kind of election-night gubernatorial nail-biter the state saw in both 2010 and 2014 when Scott secured one-point victories only as final returns were posted.

There remain only a few of those last votes, according to the poll. Reform party candidate Darcy Richardson captures about 2 percent support in the Governor’s race poll, while 5 percent of Florida voters say they are still undecided.


The survey was conducted by St. Pete Polls, has a sample size of 1,974 respondents and has a 2.2 percent margin of error.

In the race for Florida’s U.S. Senate seat, Scott is setting up for what might be another nail-biter for his own record. He has a narrow lead over Nelson, 49 to 47 percent. Scott is at 50 percent with those who have already voted.

Respondents were also asked to rate Scott and Gillum’s response to Hurricane Michael. While Scott received strong marks for his efforts, Gillum’s numbers are a mixed bag.

Sixty-one percent of voters approve of how Scott has handled the response to Michael, while 21 percent do not, and 18 percent are unsure. Gillum, the Mayor of Tallahassee, is at 44/30 approve/disapprove with 25 percent unsure.

Compared with previous polls, spreads have tightened in the battle for independent voters, and across nearly every demographic group in the new poll. Past polling showed independents breaking solidly for the Democrats Gillum and Nelson, but this poll shows Gillum with only a 2 percent advantage and Nelson with a 5 percent edge. In past surveys, women were also breaking decidedly toward Democrats and men toward Republicans, but this time, the differences were mostly statistically insignificant.

I make no predictions, BUT, the Dems have zero platforms, made asses of themselves (too many to list here) and the Kavanaugh hearings, well, they turned into a clown show and to top it off, they can't lie their asses off and literally destroy lives. All that I've pointed out isn't hearsay but rather, FACT. They have zero morals, zero integrity..another fact. This being said they should be destroyed in the mid-terms, but who knows. Look for more accusations of racism (today..see Pocahontas Warren, it'll start there) and fake sexual misconduct by someone going back to the third grade.


Tell me why anyone in their right minds would vote Dem.

Because some are the better person for the office. Such is the case in HD 37 where I live. Not everything is about what goes on at the White House amusement park.

Cook Political Report shifts Oregon governor race to 'toss up'


(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcQ2c0psErUwTgiDzNOLuN1rjFBWhoPUSX5ew0fRjlnSu7pLDuKX)

Nonpartisan election handicapper Cook Political Report shifted their prediction for the Oregon gubernatorial race from "lean democrat" to "toss up" Tuesday.

 Although Oregon is a deep-blue state, incumbent Gov. Kate Brown (D) has faced a stern challenge from Rep. Knute Buehler (R).

A poll released Tuesday gave her a 40 to 35 percent lead, with 17 percent of voters remaining undecided.

Cook argues that some of the closeness of this election may have to do with the controversy-riddled tenure of previous Democratic Gov. John Kitzhaber, whose resignation led to Brown's ascension to office in early 2015.



Additionally, tax increases passed under her tenure have made the situation difficult for Brown.

"The tax increases that impacted everything from health insurance premiums to gas and vehicle sales may prove to be her Achilles Heel," Jennifer Duffy of Cook explained.

Buehler is considered a moderate on most issues apart from immigration, making her more difficult to "demonize" for Democrats, Duffy also wrote in a post.



Oregon joins Connecticut as the only two Democrat-held governor seats categorized as a 'toss up' by Cook.

'Dilbert' Creator Scott Adams Predicts Historic GOP Turnout For Midterms

(https://www.newsmax.com/Newsmax/files/44/44b05a1c-364d-456b-9195-d57b7baddad6.jpg)

The creator of the comic strip Dilbert predicted in a new interview that Republicans will turn out in droves to cast their votes on Election Day next month.

Cartoonist and author Scott Adams, a supporter of President Donald Trump, spoke with Breitbart and said he believes the GOP will have large turnout — although he noted that may not lead to the party retaining control of the House.

Midterm elections day will see "the greatest turnout by Republicans, maybe ever," Adams said.

Adams then went deeper and explained his reasoning.

"My hypothesis is that humans are primed by whatever they've already seen. So if they've seen a pattern, they've already fallen into it," he said. "And one of the patterns Republicans enjoyed in 2016 was having the other side be surprised. And they really enjoyed it — I'm talking about the kind of joy you can talk about over the course of your lifetime.


"And the Republican personality — I realize this is a gross generalization — is that it's not always about the talk, it's about the showing up. Republicans are going to show up. And they're driven by all the things people are talking about, but you cannot underestimate the fun, either. I'll tell you this: if the Republicans pull out the House [win] — I'm still thinking it's unlikely, only because other people say so and I don't know any different — it's because there's a s—load of Republicans who are saying to themselves, 'They're gonna be surprised.'"


Adams endorsed Trump leading up to the 2016 presidential election months after saying he was backing Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Republicans outpacing Democrats in early voting in key states, NBC News finds

(https://media4.s-nbcnews.com/j/newscms/2018_43/2614261/181022-houtson-early-voting-se-118p_00d1e2a9685b957f3e9517b7d4fb76a3.fit-760w.jpg)


GOP-affiliated voters have surpassed Democratic-affiliated ones in early voting in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Montana, Tennessee and Texas, the data showed.

Only in Nevada have Democratic-affiliated voters exceeded Republican-affiliated voters so far in early voting, according to the data.


Key Senate races are underway in seven of those eight states and will prove pivotal in determining which party controls the chamber.

The latest data suggests robust enthusiasm among early Republican voters that could put a dent in Democratic hopes for a "blue wave" in next month's midterm elections.


Republicans typically dominate early voting by absentee ballots, while Democrats tend to have the advantage with in-person early voting. So, for example, the entire early voting picture in Florida, which has yet to begin in-person voting, is incomplete.


In Arizona — where two members of the House, Democrat Kyrsten Sinema and Republican Martha McSally, are in a neck-and-neck contest to fill retiring Republican Jeff Flake's Senate seat — 44 percent of early voters had a Republican affiliation, compared to 33 percent who had a Democratic affiliation. Twenty-three percent of early voters were not affiliated with either major party, and thus grouped as "other" in NBC News' partisan analysis.

In Florida — where Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson is running for re-election in a tight race against Republican Gov. Rick Scott — 44 percent of early voters had a Republican affiliation, versus 38 percent who had a Democratic affiliation and 18 percent who were not affiliated with either party.

In Indiana — where Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly is facing a re-election challenge from Republican businessman Mike Braun — 51 percent of early voters had a Republican affiliation, compared with 39 percent who had a Democratic affiliation and 10 percent who were not affiliated with either party.

In Montana — where Democratic Sen. Jon Tester is up for re-election in a state that President Donald Trump won by 21 points — 46 percent of early voters had a Republican affiliation, compared with 29 percent who had a Democratic affiliation and 25 percent who were not affiliated with either party.


In Tennessee — where former Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen is in a close race with Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn to fill retiring Republican Bob Corker's Senate seat — 63 percent of early voters had a Republican affiliation, compared with 30 percent who had a Democratic affiliation and 7 percent who were not affiliated with either party.

On Monday, the first day of early voting in Texas, thousands of people were camped out at an early voting location in Houston hours before it opened, The Houston Chronicle reported.

And in Georgia — where civil rights groups have sued Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, the Republican candidate for governor, saying the method his office uses to verify new voter registrations is discriminatory — 52 percent of early voters had a Republican affiliation, versus 43 percent who had a Democratic affiliation and 5 percent who were not affiliated with either party.



Accusations of voter suppression as more than 50,000 Georgia voter registrations pending
On the other hand, in Nevada — where Republican Sen. Dean Heller is up for re-election in a close race against Democratic Rep. Jacky Rosen — 45 percent of early voters had a Democratic affiliation, compared with 38 percent who had a Republican affiliation and 18 percent who were not affiliated with either party.

Blowout: Heidi Heitkamp now trails by 16 points in North Dakota

(https://media.graytvinc.com/images/810*455/Cramer+Heitkamp2.jpg)

Posted: Mon 12:49 PM, Oct 22, 2018  |  Updated: Mon 2:59 PM, Oct 22, 2018
         
In an exclusive poll by KVLY, KFYR and Strategic Research Associates of 650 likely voters in North Dakota conducted between October 12 - 19, 2018, Republican challenger Kevin Cramer leads incumbent Democratic Senator Heidi Heitkamp 56% to 40%, increasing his lead since Gray Television’s September poll, in which Cramer held a 10-point advantage. Heitkamp’s support appears relatively fixed. Only 5% of those supporting her say that they might change their mind, compared to 17% of Cramer supporters who say they may still change theirs.

Heitkamp is viewed favorably by 37% of North Dakota voters and unfavorably by 52%, with 7% holding a neutral opinion and 4% unfamiliar. That unfavorable number represents a significant increase since September, when only 41% held an unfavorable view of her. Her challenger is viewed favorably by 53% of likely voters (a 7-point increase over September) and unfavorably by 38%, with 5% holding a neutral opinion and 4% unfamiliar with him.

“Senator Heitkamp appears to have been hurt by her vote against Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court as well as by subsequent campaign missteps widely covered in the media,” said James Henson, PhD, a partner in Strategic Research Associates, LLC, the research firm that conducted the poll for Gray Television. The U.S. Senate voted on Kavanaugh’s confirmation in the period between the two polls.

Republicans outpacing Democrats in early voting in key states, NBC News finds

(https://media4.s-nbcnews.com/j/newscms/2018_43/2614261/181022-houtson-early-voting-se-118p_00d1e2a9685b957f3e9517b7d4fb76a3.fit-760w.jpg)


GOP-affiliated voters have surpassed Democratic-affiliated ones in early voting in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Montana, Tennessee and Texas, the data showed.

Only in Nevada have Democratic-affiliated voters exceeded Republican-affiliated voters so far in early voting, according to the data.


Key Senate races are underway in seven of those eight states and will prove pivotal in determining which party controls the chamber.

The latest data suggests robust enthusiasm among early Republican voters that could put a dent in Democratic hopes for a "blue wave" in next month's midterm elections.


Republicans typically dominate early voting by absentee ballots, while Democrats tend to have the advantage with in-person early voting. So, for example, the entire early voting picture in Florida, which has yet to begin in-person voting, is incomplete.


In Arizona — where two members of the House, Democrat Kyrsten Sinema and Republican Martha McSally, are in a neck-and-neck contest to fill retiring Republican Jeff Flake's Senate seat — 44 percent of early voters had a Republican affiliation, compared to 33 percent who had a Democratic affiliation. Twenty-three percent of early voters were not affiliated with either major party, and thus grouped as "other" in NBC News' partisan analysis.

In Florida — where Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson is running for re-election in a tight race against Republican Gov. Rick Scott — 44 percent of early voters had a Republican affiliation, versus 38 percent who had a Democratic affiliation and 18 percent who were not affiliated with either party.

In Indiana — where Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly is facing a re-election challenge from Republican businessman Mike Braun — 51 percent of early voters had a Republican affiliation, compared with 39 percent who had a Democratic affiliation and 10 percent who were not affiliated with either party.

In Montana — where Democratic Sen. Jon Tester is up for re-election in a state that President Donald Trump won by 21 points — 46 percent of early voters had a Republican affiliation, compared with 29 percent who had a Democratic affiliation and 25 percent who were not affiliated with either party.


In Tennessee — where former Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen is in a close race with Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn to fill retiring Republican Bob Corker's Senate seat — 63 percent of early voters had a Republican affiliation, compared with 30 percent who had a Democratic affiliation and 7 percent who were not affiliated with either party.

On Monday, the first day of early voting in Texas, thousands of people were camped out at an early voting location in Houston hours before it opened, The Houston Chronicle reported.

And in Georgia — where civil rights groups have sued Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, the Republican candidate for governor, saying the method his office uses to verify new voter registrations is discriminatory — 52 percent of early voters had a Republican affiliation, versus 43 percent who had a Democratic affiliation and 5 percent who were not affiliated with either party.



Accusations of voter suppression as more than 50,000 Georgia voter registrations pending
On the other hand, in Nevada — where Republican Sen. Dean Heller is up for re-election in a close race against Democratic Rep. Jacky Rosen — 45 percent of early voters had a Democratic affiliation, compared with 38 percent who had a Republican affiliation and 18 percent who were not affiliated with either party.

Blowout: Heidi Heitkamp now trails by 16 points in North Dakota

(https://media.graytvinc.com/images/810*455/Cramer+Heitkamp2.jpg)

Posted: Mon 12:49 PM, Oct 22, 2018  |  Updated: Mon 2:59 PM, Oct 22, 2018
         
In an exclusive poll by KVLY, KFYR and Strategic Research Associates of 650 likely voters in North Dakota conducted between October 12 - 19, 2018, Republican challenger Kevin Cramer leads incumbent Democratic Senator Heidi Heitkamp 56% to 40%, increasing his lead since Gray Television’s September poll, in which Cramer held a 10-point advantage. Heitkamp’s support appears relatively fixed. Only 5% of those supporting her say that they might change their mind, compared to 17% of Cramer supporters who say they may still change theirs.

Heitkamp is viewed favorably by 37% of North Dakota voters and unfavorably by 52%, with 7% holding a neutral opinion and 4% unfamiliar. That unfavorable number represents a significant increase since September, when only 41% held an unfavorable view of her. Her challenger is viewed favorably by 53% of likely voters (a 7-point increase over September) and unfavorably by 38%, with 5% holding a neutral opinion and 4% unfamiliar with him.

“Senator Heitkamp appears to have been hurt by her vote against Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court as well as by subsequent campaign missteps widely covered in the media,” said James Henson, PhD, a partner in Strategic Research Associates, LLC, the research firm that conducted the poll for Gray Television.

One of my politically savvy friends said the only reason she voted against Kavanaugh was she knew she was going to lose and was trying to position herself for some position with the Democrat party after the election.

Looks like the Democrats got Ossof'd again...  :-*




MSNBC reporter Geoff Bennett, for example, is still stuck on the “denial” stage, claiming Monday that the Texas Republican has only a small lead over his Democratic opponent.

"For Ted Cruz, this rally is a thing of political necessity, since polling shows him with the slimmest of leads over Democrat Beto O'Rourke in that Senate race there," the ostensibly straight-news reporter said.


A whole 10 seconds of Googling shows that Cruz has led O’Rourke by significant margins in every major survey conducted this month. In fact, the GOP incumbent currently leads with a seven-point advantage, according to a RealClearPolitics polling average.>

For the anger stage of grief, we turn to the Washington Post’s Amber Phillips, who made the good point earlier this month that pouring more than $55 million into a likely losing campaign may not be the soundest midterm election strategy.

“It's arguably even a giant waste of money in Democrats' uphill battle to retake the Senate,” Phillips writes, adding, “Texas doesn’t even make the top 10 of the Fix’s latest rankings of the most competitive Senate races. Democratic Sens. Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.), Joe Manchin III (W.Va.), Jon Tester (Mont.), Bill Nelson (Fla.) and Democratic candidate Phil Bredesen in Tennessee are all on the list," she writes.

She adds, "Some of those candidates, especially Heitkamp, are fighting for their political careers. And their races are crucial to helping Democrats take back the Senate.”  ;D ;D ;D

In terms of the bargaining stage of grief, FiveThirtyEight’s Nate Silver had a pretty good take this weekend.

"So the polls have Cruz up by a fairly solemn margin there, six or seven points on average. We give him about an 80 percent chance of winning," he explained.

But then he added, on a note of hopefulness, “We should say though Texas is a tricky state to poll, Beto would rely on Hispanic voters, young voters, people who newly migrated to Texas. If every eligible voter in Texas turned out, that could be a very close race.” The word “if” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

For depression, there’s the reliably dour co-host of MSNBC’s "Morning Joe," Mika Brezinski  ;D, who moped this weekend that "Democrats have produced exactly one national star" and that he "could lose by 10 points."  ;D ;D ;D ;D

"It's not impossible that, despite the train wreck that is the Trump presidency," she stated with a glum shake of her head, "Republicans could keep control of the Senate and the House."

Then there’s the acceptance stage. For that, we turn to Vox, which found a way to write off O’Rourke’s likely loss as a victory for the Democratic Party.

Beto O’Rourke could lead a blue wave in Texas — even if he loses his Senate race," the site that promises to "explain the news" theorized (aka - Losing is Winning).

Poll: Former Clinton Foundation Head Slides Behind Republican Salazar in Key Florida House Race

(https://media.breitbart.com/media/2018/10/Florida-Maria-Elvira-Salazar-Donna-Shalala-640x480.png)




Breitbart News recently identified the district as one of twenty remaining toss-up districts in the midterm elections whose outcomes will determine which party controls the House of Representatives when the 116th Congress convenes in Washington, D.C., this January.


When incumbent Rep. Ilyana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL-27) announced that she was retiring, the 77-year-old Shalala was expected to easily win the seat, but the campaign has not gone well for her so far.


 

“The narrow Democratic primary victory in August by 77-year-old Donna Shalala, the former Secretary of Health and Human Services in the Bill Clinton administration, and the emergence of a rising Republican star as her general election opponent, former Spanish language broadcaster Maria Elvira Salazar, has catapulted the race from “Likely Democratic” to “Toss-up,” as Breitbart News reported earlier this month:

The Sunshine State News reported that Salazar “has been remarkably efficient in using her name strength in Congressional District 27 to her advantage, and has turned this into a competitive race.”

Salazar also speaks both Spanish and English, while Shalala speaks only English, a key disadvantage for her because “the district is heavily Latino, with 57 percent of the registered voters being Hispanic.”

“Salazar also has an edge beyond her name advantage — she can campaign comfortably in the area to most audiences because she is bi-lingual; Shalala is not,” the Sunshine State News noted

Just as Hillary Clinton failed to generate the requisite enthusiasm among Florida voters to win the state’s electoral college votes in the 2016 Presidential election, the enthusiasm gap for Shalala among rank and file Democrats in the 27th Congressional District is palpable.

Shalala served as CEO of the Clinton Foundation from 2015 to 2017.

“After a two-year stint amid a bruising U.S. presidential campaign for the Clintons, Shalala, 76, called it a wrap Tuesday as president and chief executive of the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation,” the Miami Herald reported in April 2017.

Midterm Optics Are Bad for Progressives
By VICTOR DAVIS HANSON
October 25, 2018

For progressives, the looming midterm elections apparently should not hinge on a booming economy, a near-record-low unemployment rate, a strong stock market, and unprecedented energy production. Instead, progressives hope that race and gender questions overshadow pocketbook issues.

The media are fixated on another caravan of foreign nationals flowing toward the United States from Central America. More than 5,000 mostly Honduran migrants say they will cross through Mexico. Then they plan to crash the American border, enter the U.S. illegally, claim refugee status, and demand asylum. Once inside the United States, the newcomers will count on a variety of ways to avoid deportation.

This gambit appears mysteriously timed to arrive right before the U.S. midterms — apparently to create empathy and sway voters toward progressive candidates supporting a more relaxed immigration policy.

Open-borders advocates and progressives assume that if border-security officials are forced to detain the intruders and separate parents who broke the law from their children, it will make President Trump and Republican candidates appear cold-hearted and callous.

Earlier this year, a similar border melodrama became sensationalized in the media and almost certainly dropped Trump’s approval ratings. But this time around, the optics may be different.

The new caravan appears strangely well organized. The marchers, many of them young men, do not appear destitute. They do not seem to fit the profile of desperate refugees whose lives were in immediate danger in their homeland.

For many Americans, the would-be refugees may seem presumptuous in assuming that they have the right to barge into someone else’s country. Most Americans realize that if an organized caravan of foreigners can simply announce in advance plans to crash into the U.S. illegally, then the concepts of a border, citizenship, sovereignty, and even a country itself no longer exist.

A number of other events on the eve of the midterm elections also may have the opposite of the intended effect on voters. The Supreme Court nomination hearings for Brett Kavanaugh ended up as scripted melodrama. Protesters disrupted the Senate on cue. They screamed from the gallery. Democratic senators staged a walkout. They filibustered and interrupted the proceedings.

Their collective aim was to show America that male Republican senators were insensitive to the feelings and charges of Christine Blasey Ford, and therefore callous and sexist.

Ford had alleged that Kavanaugh 36 years earlier had sexually assaulted her at a party when they were both teenagers. But she produced no corroborating testimony, physical evidence, or witnesses. Many of her assertions were contested by other people.

Many Americans finally concluded that there was no reason to deny Kavanaugh’s nomination to the court. To find Kavanaugh guilty of Ford’s charges, Americans were asked to suspend the very ideas of due process and Western jurisprudence.

The furious demonstrations that followed Kavanaugh’s confirmation only made the optics worse.

Republican senators were confronted at their offices and on elevators. Protesters broke through police cordons and beat and scratched at the Supreme Court doors, apparently in vain efforts to break in and disrupt the swearing-in ceremonies. Liberal icons such as Hillary Clinton, former attorney general Eric Holder, and Senator Cory Booker seemed to encourage the incivility and disruptions.

Did the ongoing chaos work to change public opinion in their direction? Perhaps not.

Most Americans do not want frenzied shriekers scratching at doors on Capitol Hill. They are turned off by shouters popping up in Senate galleries. Few are comfortable with efforts to bully or intimidate senators rather than to persuade them.

In yet another misreading of the public, Senator Elizabeth Warren produced the results of a DNA test to prove she had properly claimed advantageous minority status on the basis of her alleged Native American family history.

But the test only confirmed that Warren might be 1 percent (or less) Native American and is probably not from a tribe in the continental U.S.

If Warren’s video emphasizing her DNA claims was intended to be persuasive, it sadly ended up confirming her farce. Most Americans could claim a similarly minuscule bloodline but would not do so to game the system for careerist advantage.

On the eve of the midterms, progressives believe that these public spectacles showcasing feminist, immigrant, and identity issues trump the booming economy and might galvanize independents and fence-sitters to vote for liberal candidates.

Yet the caravan, the Kavanaugh hearings, and the Warren fiasco remind voters of the very opposite of what was intended.

Every country requires a border and the rule of law. Due process cannot so easily be thrown out in a moment. There can be no Senate without safety and calm inside its halls. Powerful, privileged Washington officials should be the last to game a system designed to help the underprivileged.

Americans know all that. Strangely, progressive activists don’t.

In yet another misreading of the public, Senator Elizabeth Warren produced the results of a DNA test to prove she had properly claimed advantageous minority status on the basis of her alleged Native American family history.

But the test only confirmed that Warren might be 1 percent (or less) Native American and is probably not from a tribe in the continental U.S.

If Warren’s video emphasizing her DNA claims was intended to be persuasive, it sadly ended up confirming her farce. Most Americans could claim a similarly minuscule bloodline but would not do so to game the system for careerist advantage.

On the eve of the midterms, progressives believe that these public spectacles showcasing feminist, immigrant, and identity issues trump the booming economy and might galvanize independents and fence-sitters to vote for liberal candidates.

Yet the caravan, the Kavanaugh hearings, and the Warren fiasco remind voters of the very opposite of what was intended.

Every country requires a border and the rule of law. Due process cannot so easily be thrown out in a moment. There can be no Senate without safety and calm inside its halls. Powerful, privileged Washington officials should be the last to game a system designed to help the underprivileged.

Americans know all that. Strangely, progressive activists don’t.

We'll know soon enough.
Mark me down ( again) for:

Dems + 33 seats in the house, take back the house .
Repubs +1 net gain in the senate ( for a 3 seat majority)

Looking at the various races, that's how I see it along with 2 Gov races.
Florida - Gilliam (D) wins gov race by 4-5%

Ga - Abrams ( D) eeks out a close win over Kemp ( 1-2%)


The latest research doesn't support these numbers or this prediction by a long shot.

Democrat Menendez odds to win Jersey's hot Senate race downgraded. It's now a tossup.

(https://cbsnewyork.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/menendez-hugin-side-by-side.jpg?w=1280)

The nasty race between Democratic U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez and Republican challenger Bob Hugin is now a tossup, as the Cook Political Report said the incumbent's ethics baggage could cost him the seat.

The Washington-based publication that tracks Senate races d owngraded Menendez's chances less than two weeks before Election Day, citing little-known and unfunded community newspaper publisher Lisa McCormick's surprisingly strong performance in June's Democratic primary.


"The contest isn't about anything else but Democratic U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez and his ethics problems," said Jennifer Duffy, Cook's Senate analyst.

"The biggest threat to Menendez's re-election is not so much Hugin than it is the voter who goes to the polls and decides to send Menendez a message, much the way many did in the primary when 38 percent voted for his unknown primary opponent," she said.

Still, Inside Elections, which also tracks Senate races, said Menendez was likely to win re-election, and Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight gave him a 90 percent chance of being re-elected. The Real Clear Politics polling average put him ahead by 7.7 percentage points.

Hugin doubles down on unproven allegations

Hugin has spent millions of dollars on ads bashing Menendez, making the race much closer than originally expected.

But Menendez, who has never trailed in any legitimate opinion poll, spent more money on ads in the closing weeks of the campaign than Hugin has, and got a boost when the Senate Democrats' super political action committee, Senate Majority PAC, said it would spend another $2.8 million on his behalf.

Federal Election Commission reports covering the period Oct. 1-17 and filed Thursday showed Menendez spending $4.3 million during the period, $3.9 million of that on political commercials. Hugin spent $5 million with $2.6 million going for advertising.

Overall, Hugin, a former Celgene Corp. executive, spent more than twice as much as Menendez through Oct. 17, $27.7 million to $11.8 million.

Helping to reduce spending gap were Senate Majority PAC, which has spent $5.8 million overall to help Menendez, and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which spent $900,000.

Another super PAC, Patients for Affordable Drugs Action, spent $3.3 million to help Menendez.

Integrity NJ, the super PAC founded by allies of Gov. Chris Christie , spent $3.8 million on behalf of Hugin. Investment banker Nicholas Brady, a former U.S. treasury secretary and former interim U.S. senator from New Jersey, contributed $1.8 million.

Hugin's financial edge was due to the $31 million in personal funds he put into his campaign -- including $7 million so far this month -- allowing him to flood the airwaves with ads focusing on Menendez's ethical problems.

Menendez's trial on criminal corruption charges ended in a mistrial . The Senate Ethics Committee then rebuked him for intervening with federal agencies on behalf of Dr. Salomon Melgen, a friend and campaign donor who had given him gifts and trips.

Hugin's recent ads resurrected the unproven allegations that Menendez slept with underage prostitutes during a trip to the Dominican Republic with Melgen. The ads were criticized by independent fact-checkers.

The challenger raised $2.8 million from other sources and had $2.6 million to spend. Among his most recent contributors were Vice President Mike Pence's leadership political action committee, which gave the maximum $5,000 to his campaign.

Menendez raised $11.7 million for his re-election and had $1.8 million in the bank.

Republican John James Closes in On Michigan's Sen. Stabenow


(http://mediad.publicbroadcasting.net/p/wkar/files/styles/x_large/public/201808/stabenow_james.jpg)


In what were clearly the most unexpected poll results of any election anywhere this week, a EPIC/MRA Detroit News poll Thursday showed businessman and first-time candidate John James within single digits of Michigan’s three-term Democrat Debbie Stabenow.

According to the poll, James, West Point graduate and Detroit businessman, trails Stabenow by 49 to 42 percent among likely voters statewide.  The margin of error was 4.0 percent.

These figures become even more dramatic when one looks at those EPIC/MRA found a month ago: Stabenow over James by a whopping 56 to 33 percent.

But given polls showing President Donald Trump’s popularity on the rise in the Wolverine State and the general increase in Republican enthusiasm over Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court, James was clearly the beneficiary.

“And let’s give John some credit as well,” Norm Shinkle, Republican Chairman of the 8th District Republican, told Newsmax, “He’s a dynamic speaker, an unabashed conservative, and he’s excited the conservative base here like no one since Sarah Palin made her acceptance speech at the ’08 Republican National Convention.”

Asked if James can expand that appeal to more moderate Michigan residents, Shinkle told us: “Absolutel y— if they meet him.”  In the last quarterly period, James raised more than $2 million and clearly needs a lot more than that to have a chance at the well-funded Stabenow.

Should James emerge triumphant, he will join South Carolina’s Tim Scott as one of two Republican U.S. Senators who happen to be black.

Ben McAdams and Mia Love remain tied in New York Times Upshot poll, as new twist over Love’s campaign financing emerges

(https://www.sltrib.com/resizer/UZyYuWS-MH_GMQKvSgSWXCtJ1i8=/0x600/smart/filters:quality(86)/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-sltrib.s3.amazonaws.com/public/3CTJNLDVLNC4HKDEQUOSWUSU4U.JPG)


GOP Rep. Mia Love and Democratic Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams remain tied in their tight congressional race, according to a New York Times Upshot poll that concluded Friday night.

It shows them tied 45-45 percent, with 9 percent undecided — and a 4.7 percent margin of error. A Salt Lake Tribune-Hinckley Institute of Politics poll earlier this month also showed McAdams and Love tied, 46-46, with 8 percent undecided.

The new poll comes as a new twist emerged Friday over how the Love campaign is helping the Utah Republican Party — which has teetered near bankruptcy in recent years — to afford mailers attacking McAdams.

The Love campaign reported in new disclosure forms that it donated $70,000 this month to the party. The campaign acknowledges that helped the party to send out attack mailers that say “paid for by the Utah Republican Party."

Some of those party ads attack McAdams for donations that he accepted — and one shows him holding a buck

The New York Times Upshot poll was conducted live — allowing people to view updates after every call. It interviewed 526 people over three days.

The Times is conducting such polls in districts nationally that it deems as key to whether Republicans will retain control of the U.S. House or lose it to a midterm election blue wave.

It says that among the types of people who voted in 2014, Love leads by 8 percentage points. Among people who say they will vote this year, McAdams leads by 4 points. Among people whose history suggests they truly will vote regardless what they say, the pair are even.

“Voters are responding positively to our message about reaching across the aisle and finding solutions," McAdams said. "It’s time to end the divisiveness in Washington. Voters have seen my track record as mayor, of being a bridge builder. This poll is consistent with what we are seeing on the doorsteps.”

Dave Hansen, Love’s campaign manager, said her message also “is getting out there, that Mia has accomplished a great deal for the district.”

He added, “This campaign is about whether Nancy Pelosi is controlling Congress or not. The way things are looking nationally, it could come down to Utah whether Republicans control the House of Representatives or Nancy Pelosi is back in charge. It doesn’t matter that McAdams says in his ads that he won’t vote for Nancy Pelosi. If he wins, she’ll be the speaker, plain and simple.”

I'm seeing about 50/50 yard signs between Cruz and Beto here in Tarrant county but I think having super popular Greg Abbott on the same ballot will really help to pull Cruz ahead by a handful of points. Maybe more.

John Cornyn(the other Texas Senator) would demolish Beto but Cruz is kinda contentious for some people around here I suppose.

Florida Senate: Nelson, Scott tied, CBS poll finds

(https://media.nbcmiami.com/images/652*367/100218+bill+nelson+rick+scott+telemundo+51+debate.jpg)

Florida Sen. Bill Nelson and Gov. Rick Scott are tied among likely voters in the U.S. Senate race, according to the CBS News 2018 Battleground Tracker.

Nelson, the Democrat incumbent, and Scott, the Republican challenger, are tied 46-46, according to poll results presented Sunday morning on “Face the Nation.” Those numbers include voters who have already cast ballots.
The poll finds Sen. Nelson receives support from voters who say health care is their top issue.

Gov. Scott was given high marks for his handling of recent hurricanes to strike the Sunshine State.


President Donald Trump is a major factor for voters. Large majorities in Florida as well as Arizona and Indiana see their Senate vote as a chance to support or oppose Trump.

YouGov, an online polling company, conducted the CBS News 2018 Background Tracker.

Bill Nelson has done nothing for Florida. He's an arrogant piece of shit who skates by on his long history of simply being "the senator from the sunshine state." In other words, he's like Feinstein, a relic of the 1970s that keeps winning just because they have the whole political machine locked up in their state and outsiders are quickly shut out of the advertising game because their longtime incumbent challenger gets all the big money donations and takes care of all the special interests.

I think Florida will set the tone very early with the 2 high stakes races out there(Senator and Governor)

If Scott can pull away with a 5 to 8 point lead and Gillum crashes and burns, it's going to be a long night for the Dems.

Trump Calls Florida's Andrew Gillum A 'Thief' In Tweet Supporting Ron DeSantis

(https://bobcat.grahamdigital.com/b0009ba665a8b0605eb63be92efc5a541d0a0aa9/crop-640x360-000.jpg)


President Donald Trump referred to Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum as a “thief” in a tweet supporting Republican Ron DeSantis.

Trump touted DeSantis as a “Harvard/Yale educated man and “a great Congressman” while calling Gillum a “thief” and “Mayor of poorly run Tallahassee, said to be one of the most corrupt cities in the Country!” in a tweet on Monday morning.


The thievery Trump is likely referring to isn’t theft but an ongoing FBI corruption investigation regarding development in the city. Gillum accepted a ticket to the musical “Hamilton” from an undercover FBI agent who he said he believed was a local developer, and it has been a topic of contention that DeSantis has frequently brought to the forefront of their debates.


Gillum addressed the issue on his Twitter account just last week, saying that he “should have asked more questions of those around me” and that he accepts “responsibility for that.” He added, “But I’m running for Governor. Florida has 99 problems, and Hamilton ain’t one of them.”

DeSantis has also been under fire for making racist comments in reference to Gillum, who is black. The day after winning their respective primaries, DeSantis told voters to not “monkey this up” by voting for Gillum.

There are a definitely a lot more James signs but I live in a more conservative area. In the main city, there are not many of either but they would be mainly Stabenow, but those are outweighed by the suburbs/country areas. It's usually Detroit, etc. that does us in overall in Michigan.  

Hopefully, it will be a pleasant surprise this time around again like it was with Trump. Pence held a rally today and Trump having one here before they were both packed.

Smart money is on Republicans keeping control of House, betting site odds say



Think a blue wave is coming in the midterm election that will sweep out Republicans and usher in a Democratically-controlled Congress?


Don't bet on it, gamblers on at least one online betting site are saying.

The odds on MyBookie favor Republicans maintaining hold of their majority, even as political forecaster Nate Silver says there is an 84.9 percent chance of a Democratic victory.

As of Sunday, the odds of the GOP keeping the House are at -140. That means you would need to bet $140 on the Republicans to win $100 if they stay in the majority. The Democrats are at +110, meaning a $100 bet would win you $110 if the Democrats manage to wrest control of the House.

The exit polls from early voting still favor Republicans plus Trump will hold a couple more rallies I believe. Maybe that will be enough to pull DeSantis ahead in the end.

Another Dinkins who's gonna ruin Florida for 4 years and get the boot he ought to be getting right now. The guy was a corrupt mayor who accepted gifts and bribes in return for steering government projects toward private businesses that took care of him financially. He has NO experience running balancing a city budget, let alone an entire state. This is purely racial. The state is 30% black and has a huge hispanic population, many of whom hate the United States and speak no English, so it's not really a mystery why he's ahead of the clean-cut White guy with experience who communicates in logic and hard facts, not emotional messages and vague (even utopian) schemes for repairing the state's natural disaster damages or making it competitive from a business standpoint (businesses have been moving north and west for years due to tax breaks there).

OREGON COULD ELECT ITS FIRST REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR IN NEARLY FOUR DECADES

(https://expo.advance.net/img/97d684008a/width960/5d5_buehlerbrown.jpeg)



Oregon voters are on the cusp of putting a Republican in the state governor’s mansion for the first time in nearly 40 years. Such a move would break convention and shift a reliably blue state into a win for the GOP.

Many Oregonians and some conservative critics believe Democratic Gov. Kate Brown has not moved forcefully enough to close a yawning $22 billion public pension deficit. So, they’re looking at Brown’s opponent Knute Buehler, a two-term representative in the state who has criticized President Donald Trump in the past. His moderate tone is gaining some steam.

“This is the first candidate I’m crossing party lines for in 20 years,” Danielle Miller, a mortgage loan officer who voted for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016, told The Wall Street Journal Sunday. “Oregon is so behind in so many ways … under our current leadership.”

Oregon would join the handful of states Clinton won in 2016 that have Republican governors. The race is still tight, with recent polls showing Brown ahead by less than 5 percentage points. RealClearPolitics, Cook Political Report, and other polling outfits are rating the race a “toss up.”

The vast majority show Gillum up by 3 or 4 points.

The exit polls from early voting still favor Republicans plus Trump will hold a couple more rallies I believe. Maybe that will be enough to pull DeSantis ahead in the end.

I hope so.  I don't like what I've been hearing from Gillum.

PROJECT VERITAS CATCHES ANDREW GILLUM CAMPAIGN STAFFER CALLING WHITE PEOPLE SLUR

(https://www.infowars.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/projectveritasgillumcracker.jpg)

Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum is the latest to be stung by a Project Veritas undercover video. A video released on Thursday shows a campaign staffer they identify as Omar Smith using a racial slur and saying the candidate makes promises he knows he can’t keep.

“It’s a cracker state,” Smith stated. “Get it? Ask anybody outside of here. You go Port St. Lucie, Orlando … man them crackers ain’t gonna let us do that sh*t dawg. Boy, you crazy?”

He went on, saying, “Gillum is a progressive. He is a part of the crazy, crazy, crazies.”

Then the undercover reporter asked how Gillum plans to pay for many of his campaign promises, Smith said he couldn’t. “That’s not for them to know … That’s not for [the voters] to know. Remember our saying, modern-day fairy tales start with ‘once I am elected.’”


Gillum is in a very tight race against Republican Rep. Ron DeSantis. According to an Ipsos Public Affairs poll released on Tuesday, Gillum is up six points.

President Donald Trump has waded into this race calling Gillum “a thief,” because the Tallahassee mayor has reportedly been under investigation by the FBI. (RELATED: Records Show FBI Undercover FBI Agents Gave Andrew Gillum Broadway Tickets, Refuting Campaign’s Claims)

Project Veritas has also recently released videos on midterm election candidates Phil Bredesen and Sen. Claire McCaskill. The Daily Caller was unable to independently verify the video

POLL: Martha McSally has lead over Kyrsten Sinema as election nears

(https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2018/09/11/PPHX/b6644022-e001-4a9c-adcf-ba4fdb4e6f40-mcsally_sinema.png?width=534&height=401&fit=bounds&auto=webp)


New polling numbers out Wednesday show the Senate race between Martha McSally and Kyrsten Sinema is still close - but has McSally pulling ahead.


The exclusive ABC15 Arizona and OH Predictive Insights poll shows McSally with a seven-point lead with 52% of the vote compared to Sinema's 45%.

Only 2% are undecided with 1% saying they'll vote for Green Party candidate Angela Green.

The chief pollster for OH Predictive Insights says the shift in numbers is being linked to the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh and the caravan of migrants headed to the United States.

"If Kavanaugh didn't happen I think it'd be an extremely tight race," said chief pollster Mike Noble. "If not, I'd actually say the edge would go to Sinema but after seeing the polling - seeing the results - everything else - I think that McSally will end up winning coming election night."

On the flip-side, a CNN poll also released Wednesday had Sinema with 51% of the vote compared to McSally's 47%.

Joe Donnelly says he has minority staffers, 'but' they've done well

(https://cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/181025134250-01-joe-donnelly-file-1024-exlarge-169.jpg)

Washington (CNN) Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly from Indiana awkwardly touted minority staff members during a debate Tuesday night, seeming to suggest they succeeded despite their race or ethnicity.

"Our state director is Indian-American, but he does an amazing job," he said. "Our director of all constituent services, she's African-American, but she does an even more incredible job than you can ever imagine."

Donnelly is one of the Senate's most endangered incumbents. He is facing Republican challenger Mike Braun in next week's midterm election.


His comment Tuesday night came in the context of a question about diversity.

"We want everybody to have a chance in Indiana and in America, and my offices reflect that -- both on the campaign side and on the Senate side," he said as he began his answer.

After highlighting the two staffers, Donnelly continued: "It isn't their race or their religion, it's the incredible person that they are. But at the same time, they have to have a chance. They have to have an opportunity, and that's my responsibility. And I've done it in every office I've had, and I've done it in every campaign I've had, because my campaigns and our Senate office should reflect the face of Indiana."

In a statement Wednesday, Donnelly said he'd used the wrong word.

"I misspoke," he said. "I meant to say 'and' instead of 'but.' That would have communicated what I have tried to do my entire life: that I make a habit to seek out and promote people of color for both my campaign and official staff."

Donnelly's diversity gaffe was reminiscent of Mitt Romney, then the Republican nominee for president, in 2012 awkwardly touting his efforts to hire women by saying he had "binders full of women."

Republicans highlighted Donnelly's use of the word "but" as clips spread rapidly on social media.

"Holy cats. Watch this clip. I can't believe how terrible this is," tweeted Josh Holmes, a top political adviser to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Democrats, meanwhile, were more agitated by Donnelly suggesting he was open to Trump's calls for an end to birthright citizenship. Responding to the possibility that Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham may introduce legislation to end birthright citizenship, Donnelly said, "We have to look at this legislation."

Maxine Waters — the future chair of the Financial Services Committee if Democrats win the midterm elections — told supporters if Democrats succeed in taking back the House in the midterm elections — It’s going to be payback time.

Waters warned top US financial institutions, “I’m going to do to you what you did to us.

Via American Mirror:

“I will be the first African-American, the first woman to chair the powerful Financial Services Committee.

“That’s all of Wall Street. That’s all the insurance companies, that’s all the banks. And so, of course, the CEOs of the banks now are saying, ‘What can we do to stop Maxine Waters because if she gets in she’s going to give us a bad time?’” she said.

“I have not forgotten you foreclosed on our houses,” she warned.

“I have not forgotten that you undermined our communities,” she continued with the tone of a preacher.

“I have not forgotten that you sold us those exotic products, had us sign on the dotted line for junk,” she yelled, “and for mess that we could not afford.”

“I have people who are homeless who have never gotten back into a home. What am I going to do to you?

“What I am going to do to you is fair. I’m going to do to you what you did to us,” she vowed.

REPUBLICANS SEE BOOST FROM MIGRANT CARAVAN BEFORE MIDTERM ELECTIONS — WHILE DEMOCRATS CONTINUE TO AVOID THE ISSUE



*Many Democrats remain silent about the migrant caravan approaching the U.S.

*Republicans believe their opposition to the caravan could help them in the 2018 midterm elections.

*Pro-immigration organizations would not even comment about the migrant caravan.


 (https://e3.365dm.com/18/10/1096x616/skynews-caravan-us-mexico-guatemala_4469642.jpg?20181029201702)

Republicans believe their opposition to the migrant caravan filled with thousands of illegal immigrants who are approaching the U.S. border will help energize their base before the Nov. 6 midterm elections, while many Democrats have continued to remain silent on the issue.

The caravan, which was roughly 2,000 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border near Tijuana and about 800 miles from the southern tip of Texas as of Thursday, has been a key issue for Republicans less than one week out from the midterm elections, as GOP candidates have been hammering their Democratic opponents for not mentioning the potential threat to the U.S.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) and Republican strategists have all echoed similar messages, saying the migrant caravan would indeed help the GOP before the midterm elections — many saying it reminds voters that Democrats are putting U.S. citizens in danger. They also mentioned how the silence from Democrats on the issue will end up helping Republicans, who have so vocally denounced the caravan entering the country.

“From their open border policies to their calls to abolish ICE, the caravan is yet another reminder to voters that Democrats have put the sovereignty of our country in jeopardy with their extreme immigration views. Meanwhile, Republicans are protecting America by working to legally control our borders and keep dangerous criminals from entering our country,” RNC spokesman Steve Guest told The Daily Caller News Foundation in a statement.

Is the Arizona GOP’s Early Vote Lead Insurmountable?


(https://i1.wp.com/www.nationalreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/RTX6F726.jpg?w=2000&ssl=1)

Martha McSally greets her supporters on election night after winning the Republican primary for the open Senate seat in Tempe, Arizona, August 28, 2018.   (Nicole Neri/Reuters)
I don’t want to say Arizona’s Senate race is a done deal.

But 1,230,433 Arizonans have voted early, as of this morning. For perspective, that’s approaching the 1.5 million total votes cast in the state in the 2014 midterm elections.

There are currently 3.7 million registered voters in Arizona. Of those who have voted early so far, 525,647 are registered Republicans and 413,005 are registered Democrats. Of the remainder, 8,250 are classified “minor parties” and 283,531 are classified “other” or unaffiliated.

If you assume that registered Republicans voted for Senate candidate Martha McSally and registered Democrats voted for Kyrsten Sinema in equal proportions, that gives McSally a 112,642-vote margin. That’s a sizable margin one week away from the election.

To pull even the early vote, Sinema would need to be winning the unaffiliated and minor-party voters by a roughly 70-30 split. Because there is a Green-party candidate (named, appropriately enough, Angela Green) and some of the state’s 6,463 registered members of the Green party no doubt voted for Green, Sinema would need to win the non-major-party vote by an even wider margin to pull even, maybe 71-29 or 72-28.

What we don’t know in this equation is how many Arizonans will vote on Election Day. If the turnout is low like in 2014, with about 1.5 million votes cast, Sinema would need to win the Election Day vote by an overwhelming margin, something like a 73 percent to 27 percent split. But if Arizona’s statewide turnout is higher, like in 2010, when about 1.75 million people voted, Sinema could attempt to make up that 112,642-vote margin out of another half-million voters. That would require a 62-38 split in Sinema’s favor — less difficult, but still not easy. An NBC News poll found Sinema leading among self-identified independents, 58 percent to 32 percent.

Arizona’s total turnout could end up being higher than 2010; the higher the remaining turnout, the better chance she has of overcoming McSally’s advantage in the early vote. And it’s worth keeping in mind that it’s possible that Sinema is doing better among registered Republicans than McSally is among registered Democrats; the NBC poll showed Sinema winning Democrats 95 percent to 4 percent, while McSally’s margin among Republicans was 88 percent to 7 percent.

Any new initiative on the ballot to address the homeless and drug issues out there in Oregon?

Yes. The Metro Council voted unanimously to send an affordable housing funding measure to the November ballot, asking voters whether the average homeowner should pay $60 per year to help provide housing for 12,000 people.

It is also a gubernatorial candidate taking point.

When the alternative is having homeless folks eating, shitting and camping on your front lawn, $60 a year to help fund housing for them seems like a good idea.

Alas, if people had stood up to cuckolding years ago instead of embracing it, the world would be a better place for everyone.  "Homeless"?  More like disgusting, filthy, smelly, fucking hobos in heat.

I think Florida will set the tone very early with the 2 high stakes races out there(Senator and Governor)

If Scott can pull away with a 5 to 8 point lead and Gillum crashes and burns, it's going to be a long night for the Dems.

@2:11 - "If Nelson loses Florida it is going to be a DISASTROUS night for the Democrats" - James Carville.

I agree 100%

We will know very early how this night is going to go

BTW - Love the dynamics and discourse between married couple Republican Mary Matalin and Democrat James Carville.

How do you propose to "put an end to it?"

There have been homeless people since the dawn of time.

In 2005, an estimated 100 million (1 in 65 at the time) people worldwide were homeless and as many as 1 billion people live as squatters, refugees or in temporary shelter, all lacking adequate housing.

In 2017 there were around 554,000 homeless people in the United States, or 0.17% of the population.

California has the largest number of homeless people @ about 140,000

New York City has around 80,000 homeless people. DC has the highest rate of homelessness.

Generic Congressional Ballot’s All Tied Up

The final Rasmussen Reports Generic Congressional Ballot before Election Day shows Republicans edging ahead by one point, but in essence, the two parties are tied. The survey has a +/-2 percentage point margin of error.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds that 46% would choose the Republican candidate if the elections for Congress were held today. Forty-five percent (45%) would vote for the Democrat. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and six percent (6%) remain undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Dem Pollster: 'We're Kind of Just in the Bed-Wetting Phase Now'  ;D

All over America, Democrats are waking in cold sweats in the middle of the night, terrorized by nightmares that look like the election of 2016. There's a must-read article at Politico, "Democrats traumatized by 2016 are having pre-term nightmares," detailing all the angsty jitters our neighbors are going through.

Haunted by memories of 2016, liberals around the country are riven with anxiety in the campaign’s homestretch. They’re suspicious of favorable polls and making election night contingency plans in case their worst fears come true. Some report literal nightmares about a Democratic wipeout.

Who could forget the breathless predictions by Nate Silver that Hillary Clinton had a 71.4 percent chance of winning? They're not wrong to be concerned that Silver says the Democrats have an 86 percent chance of taking the House. It's telling that Democrats are starting to doubt their own pollsters.

“We're kind of just in the bed-wetting phase now," said Democratic pollster John Anzalone, a Hillary Clinton campaign alumnus who spent election night 2016 in Clinton’s Manhattan war room.

Election Day weather forecast: Potent storm to blast eastern US, could affect voter turnout

(https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2018/11/05/USAT/695ec808-ce7f-4a10-a406-839a65b20db1-110518-election-day-weather_Online.png)

A potent storm is forecast to blast portions of the eastern U.S. on Election Day with rain, wind and potentially strong thunderstorms.


The foul weather could affect both voter turnout and the election outcome in some battleground states Tuesday: Recent studies have found that Republican candidates tend to have a slight advantage when it rains.


In the Great Lakes and Northeast, wind-driven rain will make for a rough Election Day. Some wind gusts will exceed 40 mph in parts of the Great Lakes, interior Northeast and southeastern New England, the Weather Channel said. The heaviest rain is expected to soak New England and New York state, where flooding is possible.

Further to the south, in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, strong to severe thunderstorms are forecast to roar from Philadelphia to Atlanta, the Storm Prediction Center warned. Damaging winds and a few tornadoes are possible as well as locally heavy rainfall, according to the Weather Channel.


In the north-central U.S., some wet snow – or rain changing to snow – is possible from North Dakota to northern Minnesota and Upper Michigan. Light snowfall totals are expected.

Overall, well-below-normal temperatures are forecast in the north-central U.S. Tuesday: Highs will reach only into the 20s and 30s. Gusty winds will add to the chill.

In the West, heavy snow is possible in the highest elevations of northern Idaho and western Montana to western Wyoming, the National Weather Service said. The snow could make for slick roads on the way to the polls. 

While some light showers are likely in Washington State, the rest of the West should be dry and mild on Tuesday, AccuWeather said, with no weather troubles.

Rain favors Republicans, studies say
Republicans may root for rainy weather on Election Day: A recent study revealed that at least 1 percent of voting age adults in the U.S. – people who would have voted for a Democrat had the weather been good – decided instead to cast their ballot for a Republican on rainy election days.

“Our study suggests that weather conditions may affect people’s decisions on not only whether to vote, but also who they vote for,” said study co-author Yusaku Horiuchi, a professor of government at Dartmouth College.

"Contrary to the widely shared belief that weather conditions do not change voters’ electoral decisions," the study said, "our analysis suggests that it is likely that a certain proportion of American voters would change their party preference depending on weather."

Apparently on Election Day, rain heightens pessimism and increases fears of risk: "Those who feel in an upbeat mood may lean toward the riskier candidate, while those who feel depressed and anxious lean toward the safer candidate," the study said.

Democrats traumatized by 2016 are having pre-midterms nightmares


Despite forecasts of a Democratic House takeover, liberals grappling with 'PTSD' are braced for another surprise election disaster.


(https://media3.s-nbcnews.com/j/newscms/2016_45/1789211/ss-161109-clinton-dejection-10_cbc7bb9dc7649f8732cee28e4328a1a3.fit-760w.jpg)

On the eve of the midterms, President Donald Trump’s approval is falling, young voters are energized, and Republicans look poised to lose their House majority.

It’s enough to make Democrats nervous, miserable wrecks.


Haunted by memories of 2016, liberals around the country are riven with anxiety in the campaign’s homestretch. They’re suspicious of favorable polls and making election night contingency plans in case their worst fears come true. Some report literal nightmares about a Democratic wipeout.

“We're kind of just in the bed-wetting phase now," said Democratic pollster John Anzalone, a Hillary Clinton campaign alumnus who spent election night 2016 in Clinton’s Manhattan war room.

Two years later, even thinking about the prospect of a repeat of that night’s letdown is still too much for many Democrats to bear.

“Stop it!” shouted Nadeam Elshami, a former chief of staff to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, when asked about that possibility. To be fair, the possibility has literally haunted his dreams.

Elshami, who is now a Washington lobbyist, said that after staying up late reading campaign coverage and polls one recent night, he dreamed about watching tense House election results. His dream concluded with a Democratic House, but he doesn’t consider that a prophecy, and he said the pre-election knot in his stomach is tighter this year than ever before.

Anzalone said the shock of Donald Trump’s upset victory, which was missed by most forecasts, still hangs over many in the party. “There’s some PTSD,” he said.

That is not an exaggeration. A study published last month in the Journal of American College Health found that one-quarter of college students experienced “clinically significant” symptoms of trauma from the 2016 election results.

At Vassar College in upstate New York, the college Democrats are moving their results-watching party to a new venue over concerns that revisiting the scene of their 2016 letdown would be too upsetting for some students, according to a member of the group. At Brown University in Rhode Island, the College Democrats have taken the same precaution after experiencing a “collective flashback” to Trump’s victory during a discussion of election night planning.

A September AP/MTV poll found that 61 percent of Democrats ages 15 to 34 reported feeling anxious over the midterms, up 22 percentage points from July.

But pre-midterm stress syndrome isn’t afflicting only young people: A YouGov survey released Friday found that Democrats are 50 percent more likely than Republicans to report that they are “eating their feelings” ahead of the midterms. Other recent polling has registered high levels of stress among Democrats ahead of Tuesday’s elections.

For many traumatized Democrats, heading into Tuesday feels like flying again after surviving a plane crash. Some say the stakes feel even higher than in 2016: It was one thing for Trump to win in an electoral fluke, despite losing the popular vote, when he was still a political newcomer. It will be downright terrifying, they say, if Americans can’t place a check on him after two years of his megalomaniacal rule.

"I'm old enough to remember when The New York Times gave Hillary Clinton an 85 percent chance of winning on election night and to have been traumatized by the New York Times election needle," said Ezra Levin, who co-founded the Resistance organization Indivisible with his wife, Leah, after their election night gathering turned into the worst house party of their lives.

Many liberals consider it bad luck — or, worse, an excuse for apathy — to embrace talk of big Democratic gains on Tuesday.

When House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi predicted to "Late Show" host Stephen Colbert last week that Democrats “will win” the House, the liberal comedian worried she might be jinxing the outcome.

“Please don’t say that,” Colbert replied. “Do you want to say that on Hillary’s fireworks barge that she canceled?” (Clinton’s campaign had prepared a fireworks display to celebrate her expected 2016 win.)

Perhaps reflecting a once-bitten, twice-shy mentality, national Democratic leaders had not announced election night plans as of press time. In 2006, the last time they waged a midterm campaign against an unpopular incumbent, they rang in their landslide victory with an all-night, open bar bash at which over 1,000 revelers spread across two ballrooms at the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill.

I love how the cable news shows are predicting the outcome of the midterm elections. Most predictors seem fairly cautious about forecasting tomorrow night's outcome.

The polls indicate Democrats will take the house but not the Senate. Oregon's gubernatorial candidates are almost tied with Governor Brown having a very slight lead. Greg Walden, Oregon's only Republican U.S. Representative who has held that seat for two decades will likely win again. Kurt Schrader (D) who is the incumbent U.S. Representative is the likely winner from my district, with a 6-7 chance of winning. Rachel Prusak (D) is the Oregon House candidate I endorsed and campaigned for. Hope she wins. It's time for a change.


Personally, I'm happy that the midterms are nearly done. No campaign phone calls today, just a couple of mailers. They'd be wasting their time anyway since I voted a couple of weeks ago.

Don't feed 'em.  Don't give them "shelter".  Don't give them anything but shit.  WTF, you take them into your home then.  Most of the dipshits are mentally ill but you can't keep crazy people "locked up", can you?  You can't protect society from lunatics, can you?

"There have been homeless people since the dawn of time."  FFS, talk about a blanket statement.  And blanket statements are meant to smother the truth.  I hope you take them in.  I hope they shit all over your lawn and your life and this after you pay your $60 tax to build them a "home".

Like Coleman, you've made your bed and then shat in it.  You and other virtue signaling cucks deserve to suffer the indignation of your pathetic sentiments.  You take them in and you take care of them and all at not only your expense but your risk.  These cankers don't want a job.  They're loons.  And they're coming for you and your kind.  But no, you want to pawn them off on everyone else.  Fuck your noise, kiddo.


Build mental institutions and put them back in there for good.  If people want "civil rights" then they best behave as civilized beings.  These shitasses do not.    Fuck Portland to hell.

Happy now, you barely sentient mentally crippled 1960s love child of an idiot?  FFS. Pathetic.  Go on.  Welcome them into your home, ace.  Like hell you will.

I'm still bullish for the GOP.

I think I'm leaning 56 seats in the Senate for Republicans AND they will lose seats in the House but retain about +3 to keep the gavel.

Give me a few more hours to look over some stuff and I'll put something together a little more concrete.

I'll definitely be here posting race updates tonight though.

Does someone else want to start an official mid term thread for tonight or should we post new threads for every race? How do you all want to do this?

Or we can keep it all in here? It really doesn't matter to me.

Okay here's my final thoughts and predictions.

The GOP is very exposed in regards to the House in states like California, Minnesota and New Jersey.

A Democratic victory and Speaker Pelosi for 2 years might actually be beneficial to a Trump 2020 presidential run because he will own the optics and make her look even more ridiculous than she already does. It will be Trump vs. Pelosi almost daily for 2 years.

I am still going with a narrow +3 Republican advantage in the House for 2019.

Here's my pick for the Senate battlegrounds.

Republicans win:
North Dakota
Missouri
Indiana
Arizona
Texas
Florida
West Virginia
Montana

Democrats win:
Nevada
New Jersey
Ohio
Minnesota
Michigan

Some thoughts:

As horrible and corrupt as Democrat Menendez is I think Jersey is just too blue to flip.

I feel nervous about the Florida Rick Scott pick even though I think he'll pull through. High turnout for Gubernatorial candidate Gillum could really hurt Scott it voters vote Democrat slate.

James in West Virginia could be the surprise win of the night. Good looking guy. Military and small business background. Not sure if it will be enough though.

Nate Silver says 88% chance of Dems taking the House....that's quite a few seats to win and just happens to be the range that Hillary was supposed to win by. If he's that far wrong again I would think his cred is toast. At some point you have to factor in the silent majority that don't poll or eliminate the other factors/biases that are throwing things off.

Okay here's my final thoughts and predictions.

The GOP is very exposed in regards to the House in states like California, Minnesota and New Jersey.

A Democratic victory and Speaker Pelosi for 2 years might actually be beneficial to a Trump 2020 presidential run because he will own the optics and make her look even more ridiculous than she already does. It will be Trump vs. Pelosi almost daily for 2 years.

I am still going with a narrow +3 Republican advantage in the House for 2019.

Here's my pick for the Senate battlegrounds.

Republicans win:
North Dakota
Missouri
Indiana
Arizona
Texas
Florida
West Virginia
Montana

Democrats win:
Nevada
New Jersey
Ohio
Minnesota
Michigan

Some thoughts:

As horrible and corrupt as Democrat Menendez is I think Jersey is just too blue to flip.

I feel nervous about the Florida Rick Scott pick even though I think he'll pull through. High turnout for Gubernatorial candidate Gillum could really hurt Scott it voters vote Democrat slate.

James in West Virginia could be the surprise win of the night. Good looking guy. Military and small business background. Not sure if it will be enough though.

Good thoughtful post with some actual political analysis.

Here's my 2 cents as we await the poll closings and final results:

Dems will also win senate race in AZ, Indiana, FL, WV, Montana and Missouri. Maybe Tenn ( Bredsen vs Blackburn due to high turn out ).

Dems take back the house with a minimum pick up of 33 seats.

FL senate and Gov race both go dem due to popularity and turn our for Gillum
Ga 6th and 7th districts could go dem in the house, but it's close like the GOV race.

In Ga ya gotta get 50% to win, so with a Libertarian for Gov on ballot getting 2%,

it could be 49/49 for Abrams and Kemp headed for  run off next month.

However, due to the high turn out , it could be Abrams with 51-52% tonight and the win.

Pelosi can barely speak for 10 minutes in front of a crowd...bring that kind of weak opposition and guarantee a 2020 re-election.

Furthermore...
I don't think it's uncommon for midterm elections to swing like this. Critics blamed 0bama for losing something like 66 seats, and I suspect Trump critics will blame him for last night's shift in the House.

Not only do I believe your speculation above, Poly, but some analysts claim that - statistically speaking - things in general run smoother and more effectively with a balance of power between House and Senate, Congress and President, etc... Kind of a system of checks and balances phenomenon.

As a right-leaning independent, I'm still an independent, and I genuinely don't want to see either party completely emasculated.
Republicans still have the Senate.
The Dems regained a great deal of power last night.
Trump is in the highest office.

Everybody's got a voice now, and no one side's got "absolute power."
I DON'T think last night marks any kind of downfall.

I fully expect them both to make even bigger asses out of themselves.

That's why I agree with poly's assertion that this could help Trump in his next bid. He'll at least have something/someone to point to in 2020 and say, "Keep me in because I'll fight that bullshit!"
Had we instead rolled into 2020 with Republicans in charge of EVERYTHING, we might be closer to seeing "President Oprah."

I really wanted to see Manchin go down in West Virginia and Tester in Montana(still too close to call on Montana). Those 2 sort of gave me reservations as picking to lose because of their popularity in their respective states.

The Republican pick ups in North Dakota, Indiana and Missouri were really huge long term. If Republicans can take back Alabama from Jones in 2020 then they really have set up a strong Senate outlook for the next 10+ years.

The Democrat message is so opposite of middle America. It is really hard to see them coming into these red states and knocking out an incumbent Republican senator. We are seeing a more polarized country.

Plus with this current senate lead, I fully expect McConnell to push through his judges with zero problems. The Murkoski and Collins issues won't be there.

ELECTION WAS A DEMOCRAT DISAPPOINTMENT
boblonsberry.com ^ | 11/07/18 | Bob Lonsberry
Posted on 11/7/2018, 10:47:31 AM by shortstop

The pissed-off progressives failed.

The lesson of Election Day is that the angry left was rejected.

Democrats lost their three marquee races, failed in every contest where Barack Obama rallied, barely won the House and underperformed every House projection, and saw their enrollment surge mirrored and muted by a similar uptick in Republican ranks.

And if last night was a referendum on Trump, then Trump must not be doing so bad. He had one of the smallest first-midterm House losses in modern times, and he increased his party’s control of the Senate in a significant fashion.

And the only place the “We Hate Trump” campaign worked for Democrats was in areas where they had dramatic enrollment advantages, typically of 50% or more.

Yes, they took control of the House of Representatives, but by an anemic and unconvincing margin.

They needed a net gain of 23 seats. Most projections expected them to get 50. They got 27. That contrasts with net Republican gains of 63 in Obama’s first midterm and 54 in Clinton’s first midterm.

That means, in the context of their times, Americans were more trusting of Trump and his Republicans after two years than Americans were of Obama and Clinton and their Democrats after their first two years.

He might be, as the Democrats campaigned, the worst president ever, but he’s better than Obama and Clinton.

Yes, Democrats won the House, but they will have a small margin, and certainly no mandate.

And where their superstars ran, they came up empty.

Stacey Abrams lost in Georgia, in spite of Oprah. Andrew Gillum lost in Florida, in spite of Obama. And Beto O’Rorke lost in Texas, in spite of the news media.

And the news media got it wrong from coast to coast.

The weeks-long characterization of the electoral dynamic was disgust with Donald Trump and an embrace of the Democratic Party. Newscast after newscast, column after column. A tidal shift was proclaimed.

But it simply didn’t happen.

The news media completely missed the sentiment of support for Trump, which also percolated and rose, and ended up being dead wrong in their precharacterization of the election and its outcome. Some will see that as incompetence, others will see it as complicity.

The media saw what it always sees – support for its progressive agenda.

The media didn’t see what it never sees – the earnest feelings of those Americans who view life differently.

Americans who wonder if the media was reporting or advertising.

What does Democrat control of the House mean? Chairs will be shuffled, staffers will lose jobs, investigations will be held, and Nancy Pelosi will wield the gavel.

But a narrow margin like this makes impeachment unlikely, as not every Democrat congressperson could politically survive voting for it. Nor could every Democrat congressperson survive being a Trump obstructionist for two years. That makes compromise more likely – as Nancy Pelosi pledged last night – and that would be a good thing.

In the other half of Congress, the increased Republican margin in the Senate primarily benefits Donald Trump.

He has a bulwark against impeachment, should articles be reported out of the House. He also has, more practically, a big enough majority to protect himself from the saboteurs of his own party – people like Mitt Romney or Rand Paul who are of the Jeff Flake and John McCain bent, seeing a narrow Republican margin as a way to foil Trump and enhance their own self-importance.

That margin will also make confirming judges easier – including to the Supreme Court.

It was supposed to be the national rebuke to Trump and the Republicans, a referendum on a president everyone supposedly hated. It was supposed to be the launching pad of the next wave of Democrat giants.

But it was none of those things.

It was a House reversal less than half the size of that dealt Barack Obama, it was a Trump victory everywhere he rallied, it was a failure in each of the marquee races, and it was no bellwether of future elections.

It was a much-hyped dud.

And it ought to give the Democrats serious concerns about 2020.

Thanks for compliments on my house race analysis  ;)
BUT, I fell for the hype on some of the new dem darlings ...that lost close calls ( Beto, Abrams , Gillum).

My gut instinct told me that Abrams wasn't going to be elected GOV here in Ga.
In my area of the state, Kemp had a lot more support.
While race played a role in her defeat, it wasn't the main issue.

Kemp promoted an image of "family values" in his ads.
As in , " a vote for Kemp = preserving a decent way of life"

Stacy Abrams had experience, education and some progressive policy ideas.
BUT, most rural white people lacked confidence in her representing their values/traditions.

THAT fear isn't as racist as some might think.
I honestly think a black conservative would fair better with the Ga republicans.
Problem is, they might not get nominated by the dems.  ;)

Trump attacks CNN reporter as 'rude, terrible person'

Trump is challenged by CNN on his [Trump’s] characterization of migrants in Central America as an “invasion.”

Did you demonize immigrants as a political ploy?

Trump denies it. He says the migrants were an “invasion.”

Jim Acosta of CNN points out Trump’s campaign had an ad of migrants climbing a wall. “They weren’t actors,” Trump says.

“I think you should let me run the country, you run CNN,” Trump says.

Trump says he’s not concerned about Russia because it’s a hoax.

Then he attacks Acosta who is trying to ask a follow up.

“CNN should be ashamed of itself having you working for them. You are a very rude .. person.. the way you treat Sarah Huckabee is...”

Now Acosta and Trump are in a war of words. Trump says CNN is fake news and as such the enemy of the people.

The room falls briefly into chaos before the Q&A rubric is re-established.

Trump really expanded his executive powers and strengthened his judicial influence with this big senate victory outcome.

With Bob Corker, Jeff Flake and John McCain out of the way he replaces 3 thorns in his side with 3 loyal Senators. It is basically now The Trump senate. Alabama will almost certainly flip red in 2020 btw.

He might see some push back from Murkoski and a self aggrandizing, egotistical Mitt Romney but beyond that he will not see much opposition to his agenda in the upper chamber. Perhaps an occasional virtue signaling barb from Ben Sasse.

Jeff Sessions is out with more people in his cabinet to come. With a likely 54 seat majority in the Senate, confirming that pit bull D.A. replacement he desires should not be an issue.

And that is not even getting into the judicial branch.

Trump should have zero problems replacing Ruth Bader Ginsburg with exactly the justice he wants. That potentially tilts the Supreme Court to his advantage 6-3.

If he replaces 80 year old Breyer it goes to a 7-2 tilt.

And that is not even taking into account all the federal judges he and McConnell will push through, transforming and shifting the courts for a generation.

Would a House victory have been the cherry on top? Sure it would have, but Pelosi is now the face of the Democratic Party and people will tire of non-stop hearings and lack of an agenda rather quickly. As I stated earlier, a Pelosi lead House likely helps out Trump's 2020 prospects even more than a GOP led House.

Didn't seem like a massacre, but I was in Newport Beach for the week enjoying fine wines and bourbons. Maybe I missed it. Did see a few NFL massacres.

Massacre? Were you watching a European election or something? Lol. BTW, No NFL games on Tuesday.  ::)

I shared these and my sentiments on the previous page with a few co-workers yesterday who were less than ecstatic over the previous night's outcome.
They thought about it very briefly before conceding that - while nothing is guaranteed - there's plenty of light at the end of the tunnel.

The Democrats won the House for 2 years, the GOP will likely dominate the Senate for another 20+ years if these trends continue.

Think about the power that gives them for judicial appointments. Shooting down liberal legislation. Influencing Presidential cabinet picks.

The celebrities and liberal pundits will continue to mock people living in these areas and they will continue to show up and vote conservative senators in.

The Senate is SO much more important than the House long term.

Here's a little snippet of an article I read yesterday in National Review.

In the Senate, Democratic Fears Have Come to Pass

As I write this piece, Republicans have picked up two Senate seats and lead in Florida, Arizona, and Montana. They will likely end the midterms with a 54-seat majority. A 55-seat majority is still possible. As much as the Democrats rightly celebrate their House win, the Senate results are quite possibly more significant. They result an enduring challenge for progressives, a roadblock in front of all their political and judicial dreams.

To understand why, I refer you to some of the sharper progressive thinkers — people who understand the Republican structural advantage in the Senate and what that means for progressive politics in America.

As Vox’s Ezra Klein wrote last month, “By 2040, 70 percent of Americans will live in the 15 largest states. That means 70 percent of America will be represented by only 30 senators, while the other 30 percent of America will be represented by 70 senators.” And, by the way, those smaller states (by population, not always land mass) tend to be more rural.

That’s a big problem for Democrats. In his morning New York Times newsletter, David Leonhardt celebrated victory in the House, but he had this word of warning:

And yet last night did not feel like a thorough rejection of Trumpism. In one statewide race after another, Democrats suffered disappointing losses. It happened with the exciting progressive candidates in Florida, Georgia, Ohio and Texas (pending recounts). It happened with the centrist candidates in Indiana, Missouri, North Dakota and elsewhere.

Why? Above all, because Democrats are getting trounced outside of metropolitan areas. “The consistent pattern you’re seeing is that Republicans are consolidating control of rural white America faster than Democrats are making inroads into educated suburbia,” the progressive writer David Klion tweeted.

This was a slightly higher % of vote for the dems then either party in any previous midterm.
So, how did this increase in votes result in fewer seats.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/gerrymandering-stealth-issue-2018-midterms-120100298.html

Gerrymandering is how voting districts are divided up and often done for some political or social engineering reasons.
In brief, so long as the population numbers agree, any state legislators and GOV can draw whatever districts they want.
Yup, the part in power draws up the district.

For example , the avg congressional district represents a population of aprox 735,000 citizens. ( 3.2 million/ 435 )
This is why heavily populated states like Cal , NY and Texas get a lot more reps then  Vermont or Wyoming.

But the number of people is just the start .
So long as the district includes the correct population number, it can be ANY continous shape they desire.
BOTH sides do it when they come into power , after a new census is taken.
In this last 2-3 elections the GOP had a huge lead in most state legislators / Gov.
This resulted in gerrymandering some GOP friendly districts.

Here's a simplified, theoretical example:
Your party notices that a rival part population occupies a significant part of 2 current voting districts.
So you "gerrymander" the rival party group into 1 separate district. Then you form two separate districts with a
favorable population.

In my OPINION, political gerrymandering and lobbyist should be outlawed.
that's


Didn't read that.  How are you, Howard?

Alot of those Democrat pick-ups were made by candidates who ran on a largely conservative platform just to eek out a victory.

If there was even the semblance of a leftist movement in the House, I certainly did not see it.

However the Republicans DID dominate the Senate, and will continue to do so.

Trump and the Right clearly won Tuesday night, imo.

You either believe in something or you don't.  I will always vote for the candidate of the party whose agenda I believe in.  We had a pretty good night here in Michigan this week.  Whitmer won the governorship by about 10 points but Stabenow only retained her senate seat by 5-6 points.  How in gods green earth can you vote for Gretchen Whitmer on one hand and John James on the other?  In Ohio Sherrod Brown retained his senate seat by double digits.  Mike Dewine won the governorship by 5 points.  That means 15% of the people that voted Brown who is a liberal voted for Dewine who is a conservative.

Loco, I actually wouldn't accuse either of them of "assault." It appears that many words have been hi-jacked by various groups for political agenda. For example, the word "trauma" is being hi-jacked by the Liberals and Progressives, who are now attributing every minute experience to a "trauma." This is extremely dangerous, as it "waters down" the true meaning of the word. This, of course, is not my original idea. Nick Haslam, a Social Psychologist, developed the term "Concept Creep" in one of his seminal papers. It's titled, "
Concept Creep: Psychology's Expanding Concepts of Harm and Pathology." Funny thing, is that Haslam contends that "Concept Cree" is the work of a liberal moral agenda, which I agree with him--Liberals/Progressives have hi-jacked many words and applying them to mundane experiences, which dilutes the true meaning and experience of the word. Though, conservatives do it, when they say that Christianity is "under attack." Both sides do it, but liberals/progressives/democrats do it A LOT more!!

This is the abstract from the paper:

"Many of psychology's concepts have undergone semantic shifts in recent years. These conceptual changes follow a consistent trend. Concepts that refer to the negative aspects of human experience and behavior have expanded their meanings so that they now encompass a much broader range of phenomena than before. This expansion takes “horizontal” and “vertical” forms: concepts extend outward to capture qualitatively new phenomena and downward to capture quantitatively less extreme phenomena. The concepts of abuse, bullying, trauma, mental disorder, addiction, and prejudice are examined to illustrate these historical changes. In each case, the concept's boundary has stretched and its meaning has dilated. A variety of explanations for this pattern of “concept creep” are considered and its implications are explored. I contend that the expansion primarily reflects an ever-increasing sensitivity to harm, reflecting a liberal moral agenda. Its implications are ambivalent, however. Although conceptual change is inevitable and often well motivated, concept creep runs the risk of pathologizing everyday experience and encouraging a sense of virtuous but impotent victimhood."

So, basically, we are taken certain words and expanding their meaning, where they encompass a variety of human experiences, both qualitatively and quantitatively. The whole thing with Jim Acosta--people are using the word "assault." Really? Clearly, it's political ideologies engaging in Concept Creep to expand the term "assault" to include the most minute human experience to push their political agendas.

It really started with a "moral" liberal agenda, which is likely now being used by the Right as well, for their own political agendas.

Groups are literally just applying these words to ANY human experience and diluting the true meaning of the word.

The fact that anyone is referring to the incident with Acosta and the intern as "assault" is mind boggling. Geez, imagine how these people would react if they WERE really physically assaulted.  :-\ :-\

On any given Sunday you are right. There are exceptions in my opinion. I was voting Republican up until George Bush Jr's 2nd term. I was so pissed he went into Iraq without what I thought was good cause and after that, I wanted anyone but him. I like the "talk" of Republicans being conservative fiscally. I haven't seen much of that lately. I like the historical support they give the military and law enforcement. I am pro choice and anti religion in government and I don't mind helping those in need, so there are things in the other platform I like. If I could combine the best parts from either party I think I could stick with one. I didn't vote in the last election for a couple reasons. 1, I couldn't stand Trumps arrogance, lack of character and his bullying personality. But I didn't like Hillary either. I thought Hillary would win, and I preferred her probably 60% to 40% over Trump because I thought with the Republican house and senate she would be limited in the damage she could do over 4 years.

Trump really expanded his executive powers and strengthened his judicial influence with this big senate victory outcome.

With Bob Corker, Jeff Flake and John McCain out of the way he replaces 3 thorns in his side with 3 loyal Senators. It is basically now The Trump senate. Alabama will almost certainly flip red in 2020 btw.

He might see some push back from Murkoski and a self aggrandizing, egotistical Mitt Romney but beyond that he will not see much opposition to his agenda in the upper chamber. Perhaps an occasional virtue signaling barb from Ben Sasse.

Jeff Sessions is out with more people in his cabinet to come. With a likely 54 seat majority in the Senate, confirming that pit bull D.A. replacement he desires should not be an issue.

Yes, I really do believe Trump would gladly accept the position of dictator if given the opportunity.

I struggle with this way of thinking/voting.  "W" may have been the swellest guy on planet earth and Gore the biggest dolt.  But voting candidate over party and by party I am referring to platform and beliefs we get calamities like the Iraq war and subsequent economic collapse of 2008. 

You either believe in something or you don't.  I will always vote for the candidate of the party whose agenda I believe in.  We had a pretty good night here in Michigan this week.  Whitmer won the governorship by about 10 points but Stabenow only retained her senate seat by 5-6 points.  How in gods green earth can you vote for Gretchen Whitmer on one hand and John James on the other?  In Ohio Sherrod Brown retained his senate seat by double digits.  Mike Dewine won the governorship by 5 points.  That means 15% of the people that voted Brown who is a liberal voted for Dewine who is a conservative. 

I just don't get it. 




Oh yeah?  Things are really looking up for Detroit.....

I vote candidates not party. Voted Reagan. Bush Sr, Bush Jr first term. Al gore was the last vote cast for President. Some times I don't care which one wins, sometimes I don't want either to win. In those cases, I don't vote
Do you vote for other positions besides the presidency?

I do... I believe local government is just as important as federal governments. It is all connected. I was involved in local government throughout the last 20 years. On a side note, I found corruption in local government was about even with federal. This included a very small town I lived in with volunteer council members. I was amazed at what they would do and the reasons they used to justify giving their buddies a heads up on what the bids were on a job, or letting the mayor keep the city backhoe at his farm over the weekend. I observed things starting out as small and growing to outright theft. And these were people that were community pillars and church deacons. So it's not surprising to see as the government entity grows, the corruption grows.

I think there were something like 40 Republican members of Congress not running for re-election as well, which is very high.

If that number is more in line with historical norms, the House likely stays red or it's a hell of a lot closer.

For what Trump was going up against in the House and historical mid-term trends taken in to account, he did pretty well.

Yup, corruption in government goes all the way down to the smallest community's Home Owners Association's board.

Ah, Big Trouble...

A very underrated and often overlooked cinematic triumph of the early 21st century.

Agreed.  Now I want to see it again.  :)

By Gregg Re | Fox News

Cindy Hyde-Smith wins Mississippi senate runoff
Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith defeats Democrat Mike Espy in special election; Peter Doocy reports from Jackson, Miss.

Republicans on Tuesday expanded their incoming Senate majority to 53 seats, as incumbent Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith handily beat back an insurgent challenge by Democrat Mike Espy in Mississippi's special election runoff to become the first woman ever elected to Congress from the state.

With 95 percent of precincts reporting, Hyde-Smith had 446,927 votes to Espy's 374,880 -- a commanding margin of 54.4 percent to 45.6 percent, according to state election officials. The race marks the final midterm contest of 2018.

I think this takes a lot of power away from Murkowski and Collins.

Great news!  I see on CNN they didn't mention how easy of a win this was.  On yahoo and other sites they said it was close.

yes, overall amazing mid-term for the GOP, especially for limiting Dems' pickups in the House to only 39 or maybe 40.

Yep. Romney as well.

Plus you have Flake out of the picture and more of Trump's 'people' coming in with the other flipped Senate seats.

so is the final number of Dem pickups in the House a measly 40 or is North Carolina's 9th district still up for grabs?
