Trump may not get on the ballot. The governor of North Carolina or the mayor of the City of Charlotte, both Democrats, may cancel the Republican National Convention, leaving the party with no nominee. The interference may come sufficiently late that the convention cannot regroup in some welcoming state in time to meet the ballot timetables in all necessary states. The Republicans therefore may decline, however involuntarily, to contest this election.
The difference this election cycle from 2016 is huge, from 2008 even huger.
Obama hid his agenda while running, now the pure evil of the democrats is in plain view, even crazier with Pelosi’s obvious legislating against the will of the people.
I think moderates in the middle, blaccks and other minorites will landslide the House and Senate.
The looney left is so very much smaller than they appear like less than 20%.
Look at Kentucky last year, Bevin managed to piss off everybody, especially the lefts teachers union. So Beshear won, but every other constitutional office republicans won. The left’s teachers voted against Bevin, but they voted straight republican down ballot. Little Gweggy Stumbo was Speaker of the House for years and years, a well funded tough campaigner, head of the states democrat party, got beat for the House. This last year Little Gweegy ran for AG against a no named new comer Gweggy lost again.
Democrats used to run as conservaties, now it’s all out in the open and folks I talk to are livid.
Lastly, more revalations will come out between now and November that will bolster my argument.
I hope
Fake news from Allahpundit home
Then there’s Romney hopping the fence.
All the convention does is formally confirm what is already known - the party candidate. The GOP does not need a convention to get Trump on the ballot.
“With Trump on the ballot this time (not like in 2018), his coat tails are going to be YUGE. Perfect coat tails. The best. Number one coat tails.”
yeah, that’s the way i figure it too ...
“With Trump on the ballot this time (not like in 2018), his coat tails are going to be YUGE. Perfect coat tails. The best. Number one coat tails.”
Other coat tails? Terrible, complete disasters. Ask anyone.
Nope
And also “don’t forget” that in 2016 “the media” pushed sooo hard for Trump!

I have no doubt that people will vote for Trump. Biden's a no-go.
Do bit of research pal. Try taking a look at enthusiasm gaps both on paper from surveys and in real situations. If ca 25 showed a 13 point pro Republican enthusiasm gap and the one in little Democrat strong hold in Staunton Virginia; there is strong Republican enthusiasm across the nation. The answer then is No the Republicans are not losing the Senate.
If the election were held today... nearly nobody would vote because they would have expected the election to be held in November.
Nobody knew that America would look look like this in January, nobody knows how the political landscape will change over the summer (or if Biden will in fact be the nominee on the Dems side), and there haven’t ever been accurate political polls conducted before Labor Day anyway.
There’s a lot of vocal anger about the way some of the states have handled their pandemic responses, moreso against Democrat Governors but also against some Republican governors. That anger might represent a negligible voting Bloc, a sizable shift in the voting habits, or it may spark a sizable backlash against it. Until the pollsters capture how large of an effect the pandemic is going to have, polling is going to largely be meaningless.
In my opinion, it comes down to this:
Who will the voters hold responsible for this mess?
On the one hand, there is the democrat drive to put it all on Trump and scream murder about the economy being his fault as a consequence of alleged mishandling of the COVID scare.
On the other hand, there is the fact that the democrat governors were left to their own devices and have acted in a totalitarian manner. The blue governors have created such widespread anger that the voters will rebel against them.
I suppose it depends on which state you are in. But I tend to believe that in order to support the democrats vision of how this will go one has to do a whole lot of China defending and have a whole lot of amnesia. One must be able to allow their liberal governor to kick them in the nuts and then blame someone else for the injury.
Put another way, I try to filter emotion out of these things and ask which case I would rather have. I would rather have Trump’s and the GOP’s case.
Example, I would not want to be running as a democrat for statewide office in Michigan.
Quote: “What matters is how the media portray them. That is the only source of information most people use or even care to use. Right now the media are pushing for the Dems, so that is what most people are going to back.”
As opposed to every other election, right? Or, can you provide me with an example of an election where the media wasn’t pushing for the democrats?
Where’s the map of possible D seats going to the Republicans?
For one, former U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis is a strong possibility to take the race against the ineffective, Sen. Tina Smith, in MN.
So, not Democrat senators are in danger this election year?
The house and the senate will be decimated and the Country will descend into the Nine Rings of Hell and a second civil war will be upon us.
PERIOD.
I’ve been surprised at the amount of support 17A has here.
So, how did Trump win in 2016?
Did I miss the fact that the media was against hildabutchbitch and for Trump?
The media is always against us, you better get in out of the sun, go and visit slow joe...you both have the same sense about you.
I give Dems 90% chance of taking the Senate. Does not look good for us. There may even be some self-inflicted wounds, like GA and NC.
