Democrats somehow let this guy become the "America First" candidate that is also "protecting the border" and therefore is protecting the country, meanwhile the democrats seem more eager to protect trans bathroom use people..... want a POTUS that protects them, protects the country, and puts America first. Elections really arent that complicated. Dems will fuck this up, I'm convinced of it.
1. Democratic votes substantially outpaced Republican
2. Midwest states appear to have flipped at some level back to blue, judging by the governorship changes in WI and MI. Scott Walker losing was huge. He was elected twice and survived a recall.
3. Women have heavily come over to Democrats
4. Aggressive HOR forecasts were in the 30 to 35 range pick up. I think we are looking at 33/34. That's pretty damn good.
5. The GOP is becoming an increasingly white, older and rural party. Yet the country is becoming more urban, younger and diverse. Demographics are destiny. It's not overnight, but it's happening.
The Senate map in 2020 is flipped. Republicans have to defend far more seats, many of them in blue states.
2) Scott Walker losing is big "ish". Nobody should really run a third time. It doesn't matter how successful you are...everyone has an expiry date. That being said this will be the most important state in 2020.
3) Not all women and not necessarily in the states where it matters
4) 33/34 is historical average for a president in first term which is a subpar performance based on the "Trump repudiation" the AMT was expecting...this repudiation didn't happen and conservatives surprisingly held strong in some seats and flipped a few other.
5) The urban/rural split is absolutely real but as always this is an electoral college game and not a popular vote game. 2020 election will completely boil down to Wisconsin and possibly Michigan...especially if John James is on the ballot again. No point for anybody to even campaign anywhere else. Progressive democrats lost last night while moderate dems won...the dems will need a candidate that can push turnout while not veering too far to the left...who that is remains to be seen.
The Senate map in 2020 is flipped but the GOP likely built the buffer they need to retain control. Doug Jones told me so.
2. He lost no matter how you couch it. The losses of governorship in MI and WI are critical. Ohio is gone, period, as I mentioned in a different comment earlier. Florida may be as well, for a few cycles.
3. Really, not ALL women? That's weird, I was sure every woman voted for a Democrat. I'll have to check the numbers again.
4. Impressive that somehow you culled a monolithic statement from everyone in the AMT, as if that mattered. My statement stands. The aggressive forecast was in the mid 30's. That was achieved. So what if H2M or someone was shit talking and said 197 seats.
5. Dems won. Some were progressive, some were moderate. Moderates will always pull more crossover, the risk is the 3rd party pulling away the extremes. See the Arizona race as an example, obviously.
I don't think you should be taking political commentary from Doug Jones. He had a solid knuckle-curve, but you could never rely on him in clutch situations. Any reliever topping out at 87 mph is a risk.
It's frankly comical how those on the right here (I believe you), crowed about the dramatic losses in governorships and state legislatures during the Obama years. I agreed with you on those points, because of the redrawing of the maps made it so difficult for Democrats to win in the gerrymandered districts. But now they've done it, and overcome outrageous drawing (my district is a prime example of a map that was created to offset the suburban Richmond voters with rural all the way up to Northern VA, literally). Now the Dems have overcome these hurdles and you change your tune. Now it's about getting +2 in the Senate. Okay, right.0 -

Last night went about the way most of us expected it to go.
The midterms will be old news once Mueller starts dropping indictments and the house gets back to being a real check on this administration.

The answer will matter when s/he answers it and evidence warrants charges that, oh gee, they don't bring. You hope for the implosion as a Bannonite or lack a moral compass, or both.0 -

Actually my hopes were met, i wasnt worried about blue/red as that swings in the midterm virtually 100% of the time. Im not worried about the sun rising tmw morning either

My problem is people actually think yesterday was a big win, mueller is a superhero, and Trump is dead heading into 2020. People better wake up, or will be shocked again.
If people dont like my message, or me challenging progressives, i dont give AF, I'm not going anywhere.0 -

(Truth is that my real feeling is that now that the midterms are over a deal will be worked out behind the scenes. Trump DOJ now has a lot of leverage. Dem house will have to choose how far to push their investigations knowing that some of their allies are in legal jeopardy. My bet is that the two sides call a draw and it all just ends with a whisper.)0 -
They've been giving us this investigation fatigue
It's been a long time
They got nothing ZERO
You know why? because there is nothing
but they can play that game but we can play it better.
because we have a thing called the United States Senate
snnnnnnf
and a lot of very questionable things were done...

no one gives a fuck about his "message", which, as far as I can tell, is nothing more than telling everyone he has a message and that everyone on "his team" is too stupid to figure it out.By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0 -

He may be completely insane. I rolled tape on that, and he's nuts.
Did you see the way he stepped out from the podium to challenge Aacosta today? that shit is not right.
