I think Kentucky will hold the line:

Compare Kentucky with Wisconsin - you’re MUCH more RED than we are, and we flipped WI for President Trump.
Best. Election. Ever. EVER! MAGA! :)
there’s little signs like this all over ... one is the gov race in CA is only single digits difference in polls ... another is that Dems managed to jackhammer obama off his couch and dusted off so he could give an “urgent” speech claiming credit for President Trump’s economy ...
“collefe towns?” Are those the suburbs of a ‘covfefe’ town? (sarc)
Two to four is within the margin of error. Waht that indicates to me is a Democrat gain in the House of around 4-6. insignificant. And the GOP will gain Senate seats.
Thank you. Good catch.
Siena poll has Rep. Andy Barr up only 1 point over this Air Force **tch the media has a hard on for. I have trouble believing it’s that close
Figured you’d like that.
As a bonus, UK upset Florida tonight!
Interesting commentary, and I get it. And I think Trump will start dropping a continuous October Surprise starting within the next 2 weeks continuing up to the election and beyond. This is a man who fine-tuned dramatic pacing for a national audience over many seasons of The Apprentice, and understands how to apply that to politics. Do not underestimate this man, is my assessment.
Why do you say the economy doesn’t motivate people to get out and vote? All you have to do is remind them that the Democrats plan to undo all this economic progress.
The so-called “blue wave” is a way to delegitimize this election. Just like Hillary was supposed to win last time and it was “stolen” from here, their “blue wave” will have been “stolen” this time.
Another poll has him up 5.
All good news. Sabato & Cook had this as a flip seat.
That district is GOP leaning but has a high Democratic floor because it contains Lexington and Frankfort (the state capital).
Actually, the fact that Barr is leading is good news as some months back, a Politico article (or maybe Roll Call, darned if I can remember) claimed both Republican and Democratic polls had Barr behind.
Because the Democrat candidate will deny they want to undo economic progress. There is no way to prove otherwise. It’s like a “He said/She said” thing. People just tune it out.
Plus, on a practical level, the tax cuts aren’t going away even if the Democrats win. That’s another reason running on them or the economy generally makes no sense. Pelosi can’t force a repeal of the tax cuts.
You don’t win races by running on something that has already happened. You win by talking about something that could happen but hasn’t happened yet, like impeachment or building the wall, and forcing your opponent to take a position on it. Plus the Dems have this “It started under Obama” theme. We know that’s nonsense but a lot of voters will just shrug their shoulders and say “I don’t really know”.
I’ve seen this movie before. Reagan presided over an economic boom in the eighties but there was a Democrat sweep in the 1986 mid-terms and the Republicans lost the Senate, right in the middle of a booming economy. Nobody who voted for the Democrats thought they were voting against the economy. Running on the economy, at least in mid-terms, is a loser.
