“Ten months away, which is a lifetime in politics....”
______________________________________________________
So true. Nothing can be said with any certainty now. Some items of note:
(1) The GOP has a huge war chest. The DNC is broke
(2) The DNC has over 20 senate seats to defend include one in Minnesota. It is very expensive to finance senatorial campaigns. The DNC is broke.
(3) The dems message will be “I hate Trump” Not a good message to resonate. The choice is Trump or Pelosi/Schumer (they poll worse than Trump)
(4) The other dem message will be pro- gays, Muslims, illegal immigrants, transgenders in the bathrooms. Big winner points for an election?
(5) Another dem message will be a hatred for whites, Christians, men, 1st and 2nd amendments. Big winner points for an election?
(6) A roaring economy and stock market will be a hard obstacle to campaign against especially when the dems voted against it.
So anything is possible but to say that the dems have a slam dunk chance in winning is ridiculous this far out. To be honest, these types of stories can and do backfire. If the dems are going to win it all in November, their base may stay home and not vote, thinking that they will easily win. It happened in 2016.
Thank you for your optimism. This thread needs it.
