To me the only thing Dems have going for them is whatever number of people who hate Trump and will crawl over broken glass etc.
Because come November, there are 24 seats currently held by democrats up for re-election. There are only 8 republican seats up. Another senate seat is subject to special election.
We can find out tomorrow if Republicans continue to stay home. We have elections in at least 3 states. If trend is any guide, Republicans are staying home.
ELECTIONS TOMORROW IN
Missouri
Kentucky
Mississippi
Texas has Primary
Good Luck Conservatives running.
“This has proven very economical and effective, if slightly underhanded. Suppress the vote of the Republican base, exploit their morality by dirtying up the candidate, then even a lightweight lib can win.”
Good point, Zooker. Even a significant number of low information Republican voters have fallen for this.
However, I think the “I just remembered that I was sexually abused by the Republican candidate 40 years ago” hysteria may be abating a bit, so the Dims may have to manufacture another ruse come November.
“We need to turn out like we did in 2016!”
Correct ... but if the special elections that have occurred in the past few months predict anything ... Repub voters are not interested or are “fat, dumb, and happy”.
This will give the dems a great advantage, bad candidate or not.
I’m not too hopeful for the 2018 mid-terms.
Yet we’ve been dominating the special elections since Trump was elected. There were 2-3 outlier cases that were made to be high-profile mostly because it made Republicans look bad (the media can always be counted on there).
All the numbers are NOT looking good for Dems in 2018, and they keep getting worse. State-by-state registration numbers (just ask LS about that one), fundraising—you name it. The #1 factor for us is voter turnout, but conservatives tend to turn out in greater numbers than liberals in non-POTUS election years, so we have an historical advantage, too.
Bottom line, as per usual: go vote. You and your neighbors and your friends. Vote.
Jim McGovern (D-Havana)?
“Bill Clinton will be locked in a closet somewhere”
Closet? How about PRISON?
We MUST turn out in droves. It took too much for us to get PDJT elected for us to stop fighting now.
Here’s a quote to remember: “I don’t feel no ways taard. I come too far from where I started from. Nobody told me that the road would be easy.”
The tax cuts already are doing a great job making American voters’ lives better. One more thing could be done that would absolutely positively guarantee a GOP win in November. Instead of companies handing out the large bonuses, tell their employees that BECAUSE OF TRUMP’S TAX CUTS the companies will be augmenting the employees’ healthcare benefits.
