Final election tonight in Mississippi for the US Senate and a few House races.
You Hoo...thanks!
Nice catch......thanks.
Good, hopefully many black people are getting tired of the Democrats Race Bating Dog Whistles and calling all their political opponents names instead of debating real issues like taxes, illegal immigration, defense, criminal justice reform.
The big story is that it looks like Smith is getting 33 percent in the Delta!! Democrats have a big black vote problem. The shift is starting.
Based on my experience growing up in California I would say that blacks don’t like Hispanics. There is room here for a smart GOP candidate like Trump to peel off some of them in a place like south Florida.
Collins and Murkowski don’t care, but going after Trump and stopping Trump’s success is the only reason Mittens ran for Senate.
Bump.
Cindy Hyde-Smith leads by 10 percentage points over Mike Espy with 63 percent of precincts reporting.
That may well be true, but he failed as a presidential candidate, and he'll fail at this too. ;)
“BREAKING: The Cook Political Report projects that Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith has defeated Democrat Mike Espy in the Mississippi Senate race.”
So, where is Nate “the little New York schmeckel” Silver and his 538 cabal? Has the cat got his tongue? A little while ago he was telling us that Espey was outperforming!
Hinds now 60% in.
Cindy Hyde-Smith leads by 11 percentage points over Mike Espy with 64 percent of precincts reporting.
And 61% of Hinds county is in.
11% with 66% in. Holding
Looks like they have a little black vote problem, too.
A problem with ALL sizes of blacks.
Cindy Hyde-Smith leads by 11 percentage points over Mike Espy with 67 percent of precincts reporting.
Hyde-Smith back to 60K ahead regardless of Hinds being more than half gone. Hinds just needs to dump the rest and wait for the Delta and its 534 votes.
Not enough. Even with Hinds, Espy is at 44%.
This *cannot* be overstated.
Additionally, the D’s have he House, but they have the smallest, most precarious lead in modern times, with just 18 seats necessary for the R’s to flip to retake it in 2020; a 5-seat weaker majority than the R’s just had for 2018. The D’s 2018 win gives them the weakest House majority in modern times. To Note: There were 14 special elections in the current Congress tat is about to end. Nine in 2017 starting with the seat of Louise Slaughter of Buffalo, NY, and five more in 2018. Additionally, *another* seven seats were vacant on Election Day three weeks ago, as they came open too late to hold a special election before this November’s election. That’s twenty-one (21 !!!) vacancies! More than the D/R total of 18 net seat - flips needed with their upcoming 235 - 200 advantage
Also, the D’s have just about maxed-out in the House in their strongholds like NY and especially now CA. They have little available map left to expand into.
Given current population and demographic trends it is quite possible that the Dems will never take the Senate again. It may end up being a totally safe bastion for the Repubs.
Headlines in all the papers tomorrow: “Mississippi Elects First Woman Senator”
Not!
Great points!
