It isn’t supposed to happen this way in Democrat Medialand.
In deep blue Oregon and super nova blue Rhode Island Democrats are thought to be just so loved by the people that the governor’s race in both states should be donkey party walkovers.
But that’s just not happening.
The two Democrat damsels in distress, Governor Kate Brown of Oregon and Governor Gina Raimondo of Rhode Island aren’t supposed to be home campaigning to save their jobs, they are supposed to be out organizing fund raisers to bring Venezuelan socialism to all of America not just their states; but they aren’t.
Delusional babble from media “experts” aside, Brown and Raimondo are not fundraising for others but fighting for their pollical lives because support for Democrats is eroding by the week.
A look at the latest generic surveys asking respondents to declare which party they would rather see control the House of Representatives shows that where the average among four polls showed a 6-point lead for Democrats a few weeks ago, it now shows a 2.25% lead for Democrats with one actually saying it’s a tie.
To put this in perspective, the Brennan Center for Justice, a liberal think tank, reported last spring (when Democrats were leading in generic polls by double digits) that in order to win the House back Democrats would need to out vote Republicans nationally by 11 points.
In Oregon the drop of support for Brown has been sharp and scary for the evil donkeys. In January a softball poll by NPR had Brown up an expected 17 points.
By July the race fell to a 45/45 tie;and last week Brown fell behind to Knute Buehler the Republican 43/42.
Clearly the fact that Antifa has made Portland Oregon its capital city is moving the dial in Buehler’s direction.
That won’t change because as a Democrat Brown is rooting for them. It will kill her chances for reelection.
In Rhode Island the situation is strange but very hopeful for Republican Allan Fung who trails by 39/37 to Raimondo. In this race there will be no runoff.
This is a rematch election. In 2014 Raimondo won 40.7 / 36.2 so neither candidate has made up much ground since then. This time there is a 14% undecided segment and another 10% voting third party.
There is also a third-party candidate who was a Republican, but left to start his own party. That candidate is pulling 6-points of support.
If support for Democrats continues to erode nationally it need only barely touch Rhode Island to swing this to Fung.
If that doesn’t happen but the third-party Republican’s supporters move to Fung as a way to taste victory it is all over for Raimondo who seems to have maxed out her support and actually lost some support over the past four years.
These races make you wonder if Brown and Raimondo believe the Democrats will retake the House.
Voter fraud is going to be a deciding factor in too many races this November
The GOP better be ready to combat it

But, but, but, Hillary was for equality and justice! You know how we know? Because she *said* she was. ;^)
I second that. Go Cox. He’s articulate and has plenty of Red Meat for the masses.
Looking forward to a debate if Gaven doesn’t chicken out.
