I gotta head out for a bit

2018-02-06 20:55:51 UTC

for that to happen, we need for the Rs to get 50.8% of the vote

2018-02-06 20:55:59 UTC

Alright, we'll talk later

2018-02-06 20:56:12 UTC

2018-02-06 21:47:12 UTC

@Uryitiogi#9597 what state are you from

2018-02-06 23:13:51 UTC

I am changing MT to a tossup (from Lean D). This is because of Jon Tester's shutdown vote and his approval plummeting.

2018-02-06 23:42:45 UTC

interesting

2018-02-06 23:42:47 UTC

good to know

2018-02-06 23:43:10 UTC

let's make it a joint effort

2018-02-06 23:43:19 UTC

2018-02-06 23:57:56 UTC

we got a few more years left in us fam

2018-02-07 00:00:30 UTC

I think whites will always be a voting majority even in a plurality situation, but we've definitely got to help it.

2018-02-07 00:41:56 UTC

A lot of the white people in Florida are senior citizens

2018-02-07 00:42:00 UTC

not surprising

2018-02-07 01:09:16 UTC

It's been an hour since polls closed in Missouri,

2018-02-07 01:09:29 UTC

hold on to your seats, folk

2018-02-07 01:09:38 UTC

there's an election going on?!

2018-02-07 01:09:47 UTC

state-level

2018-02-07 01:35:57 UTC

no posting here until i get the election results

2018-02-07 01:36:07 UTC

post in misc until then, folks

2018-02-07 02:01:50 UTC

they all look like solid GOP seats

2018-02-07 02:02:00 UTC

hopefully GOP voters turn out

2018-02-07 02:06:05 UTC

I can't help but think the next democratic governor of California is going to be nightmarishly worse than Brown

2018-02-07 02:09:41 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ @Sacramento do you foresee California collapsing hard in the near future ?

2018-02-07 02:10:11 UTC

I wouldn't be surprised if something happens that makes things get really bad in California to the point where California Republicans become more popular

2018-02-07 02:11:15 UTC

California will collapse from far-left politics and overspending within a decade, i'm 65% sure of it

2018-02-07 02:12:07 UTC

okay,

2018-02-07 02:12:10 UTC

results are coming in,

2018-02-07 02:12:28 UTC

give it some time

2018-02-07 02:13:49 UTC

the R appears to be winning in the 39th district

2018-02-07 02:20:28 UTC

okay, the R has won the 129th district

2018-02-07 02:21:07 UTC

the R won 69% of the vote, Trump won here by 80% of the vote in 2016

2018-02-07 02:22:15 UTC

this is a +25 point swing in favor of Democrats

2018-02-07 02:26:58 UTC

yikes

2018-02-07 02:27:02 UTC

ummm

2018-02-07 02:27:19 UTC

two dems are leading

2018-02-07 02:27:29 UTC

remember, republicans control all 4 of these districts

2018-02-07 02:33:13 UTC

80 to 69 is an 11 point swing

2018-02-07 02:33:29 UTC

that's not including the Dem increase

2018-02-07 02:33:57 UTC

or, comparing both margins rather

2018-02-07 02:34:38 UTC

Trump being on the ballot definitely gave a boost

2018-02-07 02:34:56 UTC

err...this is looking kinda bad...

2018-02-07 02:35:02 UTC

I'm sure we'll do better in the actual midterms than the special elections

also im working on making the blogger look presentable

2018-02-07 02:35:22 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ have you been tested for testosterone levels

2018-02-07 02:35:28 UTC

dear god,

2018-02-07 02:35:46 UTC

Trump won these disctricts by 70-80% of the vote,

2018-02-07 02:35:55 UTC

yeah, because he's Trump

2018-02-07 02:35:57 UTC

and the candidates are neck and neck

2018-02-07 02:36:18 UTC

how can a swing like this be possible...

2018-02-07 02:36:27 UTC

GOP voters aren't hearing about this but Democrats are

2018-02-07 02:36:44 UTC

also the D candidates running are conservative/moderate Democrats

2018-02-07 02:36:44 UTC

AHHHHHHHHH

2018-02-07 02:36:53 UTC

THE DEMOCRAT WON 97

2018-02-07 02:36:54 UTC

2018-02-07 02:37:07 UTC

2018-02-07 02:37:37 UTC

2018-02-07 02:37:50 UTC

2018-02-07 02:39:28 UTC

yikes, a **31** point shift to the Democrats...

2018-02-07 02:41:18 UTC

hmm

2018-02-07 02:42:42 UTC

in 2014, 5,344 voted for the Republican and 2637 voted for the Democrat

2018-02-07 02:43:00 UTC

today, 1679 voted for the Republican and 1787 voted for the Democrat

2018-02-07 02:43:15 UTC

idiot RNC...

2018-02-07 02:43:23 UTC

31% of 2014 for the GOP

2018-02-07 02:43:39 UTC

67.7% for the Dems

2018-02-07 02:43:57 UTC

Alabama-tier bad

2018-02-07 02:44:26 UTC

Revis enters as the younger opponent, a moderate Democrat and member of the NRA who interned for former Gov. Jay Nixon through the Civic Leaders Internship Program, and now works for Anheuser-Busch after a stint with Amazon right out of college.

2018-02-07 02:44:31 UTC

Revis comes from a working-class family, raised as the son of a carpenter and a teacher, saying he recognizes the value of hard work and how labor unions helped shape the middle class. Revis is a graduate of the University of Missouri, with a degree in Business Administration, specializing in marketing.

2018-02-07 02:44:42 UTC

Linton comes into the race as a practiced attorney, selected by the Republican committee in late October and representing what he calls constitutional conservative values. He has a degree in engineering, law, and theology, all of Missouri schools, and has worked for utility companies like Ameren and ITC Great Plains. He now works in his own firm.

2018-02-07 02:44:50 UTC

Linton joins the race, mirroring the footsteps of his father, the former Rep. Bill Linton. His platform mirrors that of other Republicans in the Show-Me State, calling for less government and more freedom. He says that, if elected representative, he will work to grow the economy by โ€œkeeping government out of the wayโ€ in order to create more jobs, reduce the burden of taxes on Missouri families, and defend the citizensโ€™ constitutional rights and protect the lives of the unborn.

2018-02-07 02:45:51 UTC

it looks like a young, energetic moderate Democrat beating an old run of the mill Republican who probably didn't campaign very hard

2018-02-07 02:46:03 UTC

local races can be very volatile

2018-02-07 02:50:10 UTC

@everyone Who here lives in Missouri

2018-02-07 02:51:08 UTC

District 144 not finished yet, but Democrat candidate maintains a slight lead

2018-02-07 02:51:20 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ it's not Alabama tier bad

2018-02-07 02:51:31 UTC

it's a local race, so things are different

2018-02-07 02:51:38 UTC

the swing is the same

2018-02-07 02:51:43 UTC

a single candidate working really hard can swing the margins

2018-02-07 02:51:47 UTC

like in the case of

2018-02-07 02:51:51 UTC

okay,

2018-02-07 02:51:55 UTC

more news,

2018-02-07 02:51:59 UTC

this Democrat

2018-02-07 02:52:04 UTC

the R has won in the other district,

2018-02-07 02:52:08 UTC

not as bad this time

2018-02-07 02:52:11 UTC

beating this Republican
