When the polls closed during the 2017 election you could easily watch the shifting numbers and tell what was happening. As all the reliable smaller rural conservative counties reported early the heavy liberal counties in the urban areas held back results till they knew the magic number to win.
If you remember the 2016 election, Florida was waffling back and forth. The panhandle is in the central time zone and Broward county in the eastern time zone was sitting on the votes waiting till the panhandle reported. Panhandle drug foot till Broward had to report and they unleashed the votes and swung the state back in our favor. This is a typical liberal tactic. The Trumpster knew this and did the same in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
Bottom line is that is how Missouri was awarded with Old Fat A$$ Clairebabe. The DemocRATS held the polls open in STL and KC while bussing in voters and cutting the line ahead of the ones already waiting. This tactic was used to blur the lines as they could push votes through as fast as they could till a judge actually shut down the charade.
So yes DemocRATS can and will win in red states with a little voter fraud and deception.
However, it will have no impact on Heitkamps's loss.
Sorry to say but Jackass Joe Donnelly will probably be re-elected in a close vote.
The Indiana Republicans shoot themselves in the foot every six years with nut ball candidates - think Richard Mourdock. Mike Braun will screw this up before November.
Each FReeper needs to bring at least 5 Republican voters to the polls in November.
I have conservative friends who often are too busy to vote or forget. They’re simply not political animals like us here.
I told many of them I’ll be at their house or office on Election Day 2018 to give them a lift to their polling place. I’m not taking no for an answer!
I’ll have all day, and plenty of gas.
If each one of us here did that? Especially in key House races? It would turn the tide.
Turnout = EVERYTHING.
I wonder how many Californians have moved to other Western states like Montana or Arizona and are even now turning the Red to Purple.
Again, get out and vote!
Turnout = EVERYTHING.
Where Missouri is concerned, the Primary is August 7. Also, the vote on making Missouri a Right to Work State. If it fails, then we may lose to Mother McCaskill again come November. Republicans need to wake up and get off their collective asses! Democrats feed off union workers like flies on honey. We have a chance to stop this activity in Missouri. VOTE YES on PROP A on August 7!
12 seats would be huge, enough for a filibuster-proof majority, and almost enough to override vetos even (probably better that the RINOs in the Senate don’t have that though). I’d like to believe it could happen, but I think swing that big in the Senate is too much to hope for.
I see an awful lot of good news for the Senate, but can anybody confirm that the House is safe? Or, will we lose the house this November?
People say they monkey around.
Barack Obama never won Montana. Not in 2012. Not in 2008.
Typo Of course It should have been Obama LOST Montana by 13.5%. OKAY?
I am encouraged by the relatively small number of supposed Trump supporters who wake up each morning looking for proof it isn’t real and the Democrats will somehow overthrow Trump. They search the web looking for a reason to be frightened to death that will make them hide under their beds.
Trump’s not going anywhere until January 20 2025 and, however undeserving they are, the Republicans will win 11 Democrat seats in the senate, Prove I’m wrong. Tell me why Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin is just blowing smoke when she says she could lose. Tell me what the difference is between her and the dead ducks? Where is your data?
So Tester out-performed the Democrat presidential candidate by 16 points? Good to know.
Entirely possible.
...and, however undeserving they are, the Republicans will win 11 Democrat seats in the senate, Prove I’m wrong.
I think November 6th will prove that.
In West Virginia MS’s “poll” says Joe Manchin is up 13 points against a popular Republican in a state Trump won by 41.7 points.
In West Virginia Republicans could pull a name from a hat and beat Manchin. In his own Democrat primary Manchin couldn’t reach 70%. In 2012 Romney won West Virginia by 26.8%. In 2016 Trump won West Virginia by 41.7%. THIS adds up to Manchin being re-elected after also voting against Trump’s Tax Cuts? REALLY? This is a joke.
Final note: Even if all these endangered Democrats flop all over themselves to support Judge Bret Kavanaugh and vote for his confirmation it won’t make a damned bit of difference. They won’t be able to break away from the “just another Democrat” label.
The next installment will cover why demographics in the states Democrats are clearly going to lose are so deadly (for Democrats) similar to those SM says Democrats are winning.
You're screaming at the choir.
You'd be hard pressed to find any Freeper who ever misses an election - especially federal elections.
Alabama was a perfect storm, that Democrat won’t survive the 2020 election.
That is the number I am thinking of as well, which would be great!
Agreed!
Considering the party of the president generally loses 4+/- in the first midterm that’s amazing. Of course part of it is the numbers, the GOP just doesn’t have any seats to lose in this Senate class. Part is also the Dems just aren’t playing their hand well at all. You’re supposed to run your midterm on presidential short comings, not raw hate. The American people really aren’t into hate voting.
I would not be surprised if that happened in the House, but I think we will pick up seats in the Senate.
