I don’t know why you added the sarc tag - that makes it sound as if it were a bad thing...

The problem is that the base of the Democratic party is urban, minority (in some cases), public employee unions,
faculty and students in the liberal arts and soft program in colleges and universities. The Kennedy or even Humphrey Democrats and Meany labor union leaders have long since passed away and don’t matter much anymore to the Rat base.

We’ve already begun praying for this to happen! And for 400 EV in 2016.

Way too early for this speculation; trust but verify!

McCaskill is about to become strong Trump follower.

She a screaming liberal! I would be shocked if she does. No one here in Missouri would believe her if she did.

Either it was a major calving of the coastline of the Bay of Whales, or a disastrous plunge into a crevasse. Those dogs really knew what they were doing thought. Those dogs! They knew.

The GOP needs to remember the 2006 mid-term elections.

The Democrats regained Congress by running to the right of Republicans on fiscal policy. Sure it was ridiculous but many voters bought it.

That would infuriate the GOP base, and it also helped at the time that Bush was quite unpopular (even among conservatives) and they had full control for quite a while. That would be more of a 2020 or 2022 situation.

I meant infuriate the Democrat base. They don’t want a centrist path at all.

Pennsylvania is going to be a tough not to crack.

Sure, Bob Casey, Jr. is a blooming idiot who campaigns only to carefully selected audiences. But Trump's narrow victory notwithstanding, there are a lot of elderly voters in this Commonwealth who still think they are voting for Father Casey.

You'll need a first class candidate who is competent and not afraid to go for the jugular about Jr. not being his father and being just another rubber stamp for the radical left. Does anyone in the PA GOP have enough statewide recognition to fit that bill?

Nice dream. The reality is that Rust State Dems are moving to TX, NC, GA, FL because that is where the jobs are. Nobody is asking these RB Dems to think about why there are no jobs in Detroit, Flint, Chicago, etc.

The result is they are turning Red States Purple. That is the reality. So far Heritage, CATO, AFP, AFF, and RNC are doing nothing to change this...nothing to educate the immigrants to the Red States.

Former red suburbs in Ga and NC went Blue in 2016. Half of that was Rust Belt voters new to those red suburbs. Of course, half of the voters in those suburbs are Sam Nunn Democrats...establishment opportunists who thought Hillary would win and they needed to kiss up to her to keep the federal aid flowing to their bureaucratic gummint jobs.

2018 is mid-range and important.

2020 controls the long range game.
Trump will control the Census.
Republican State legislatures will control redistricting.

Count babies in the womb in the 2020 Census. To make the point in the debate over this, one Congress person should propose a baby in the womb should count as 3/5 of a person.

The entire Census questions should be re-thought. Modernize it. But at the same time, reduce personal questions to make libertarians happy.

There is little chance of Democrats losing the deep-blue coastal states or Minnesota

Trump came damned close to winning Minnesota

That's what I thought too. I think if he can turn the Duluth area, a blue collar port city, he can win the state.

The camera is to the right of the archer so it appears that he is off center. But if the camera were directly behind the arrow you would see he is aiming at the center.
