They get the anti trump verified people to constantly tweet all day about upcoming elections and blue waves

2018-04-24 13:33:01 UTC

@GermanEastAfrica

Dude.........

2018-04-24 13:33:10 UTC

you're basing your worries off of Twitter?

2018-04-24 13:33:41 UTC

No, itโ€™s just a bit concerning.

2018-04-24 13:33:41 UTC

It should be common knowledge that Twitter routinely bans right wingers and creates an environment where the most obnoxious leftists thrive

2018-04-24 13:33:54 UTC

it shouldn't be

2018-04-24 13:33:57 UTC

it's fucking Twitter

2018-04-24 13:34:01 UTC

Yeah but they rally people to the polls

2018-04-24 13:34:06 UTC

That's the problem

2018-04-24 13:34:32 UTC

Twitter has been around for every GOP victory too

2018-04-24 13:34:51 UTC

@GermanEastAfrica who the hell are you following on Twitter anyway

2018-04-24 13:37:09 UTC

No one, I just go there to find some cringe.

2018-04-24 13:37:57 UTC

#WVsen 2018 General Election
GOP Candidate 41% (+4)
Joe Manchin (D) 37%

National Research Inc./@GOPAC https://t.co/fPreaG3riQ

2018-04-24 13:38:33 UTC

Can someone pull up the polls right now for Az?

2018-04-24 13:39:31 UTC

@GermanEastAfrica well, if you haven't learned that Twitter is possibly the most cancerous website on the Internet, you do now

2018-04-24 13:42:15 UTC

Oh trust me, Iโ€™ve been deep in the cringe mines before.

2018-04-24 14:21:34 UTC

This is sad

2018-04-24 14:21:38 UTC

Watch the whole thing

2018-04-24 14:21:44 UTC

Theyโ€™re brainwashed

Look how many seats are vulnerable for the Dems.

2018-04-24 14:43:24 UTC

So vunerable

2018-04-24 14:43:32 UTC

Seats we could gain

2018-04-24 14:43:38 UTC

1. Ohio

2018-04-24 14:43:40 UTC

2. Florida

2018-04-24 14:43:47 UTC

3. Missouri

2018-04-24 14:43:50 UTC

10. Indiana

2018-04-24 14:44:39 UTC

The 10 most vulnerable seats

2018-04-24 14:45:26 UTC

At best we could gain 10 seats.

2018-04-24 14:45:42 UTC

It's unlikely the Dems are going to get a majority.

2018-04-24 14:46:00 UTC

At best, they could gain Nevada but that's it.

2018-04-24 14:51:08 UTC

the Virgin Brown vs the Chad Renacci

2018-04-24 14:51:20 UTC

Who wants to make the template for this?

2018-04-24 14:53:28 UTC
2018-04-24 14:53:33 UTC

we're supporting Gibbons though

2018-04-24 14:53:47 UTC

but yeah, Virgin vs Chad memes are a good idea

2018-04-24 16:31:06 UTC

There's a CRAP ton of state legislative elections in New York

2018-04-24 16:34:36 UTC

Curious, I havenโ€™t seen any /pol threads about the special election today.

2018-04-24 16:34:41 UTC

both uber Democratic zones

2018-04-24 16:34:48 UTC

I'm talking 91% Hillary

2018-04-24 16:35:11 UTC

actually, the other one is better

2018-04-24 16:35:52 UTC

32 is solidly Democratic, but the GOP has a fighting chance in 37, but still...it's been Democratic for quite a while

2018-04-24 16:36:04 UTC

Is someone going to make a thread about the Az election on pol?

2018-04-24 16:36:10 UTC

Get the jimmies rustling.

2018-04-24 16:36:44 UTC

/pol/ is currently down

2018-04-24 16:36:58 UTC

2018-04-24 16:37:08 UTC

I noticed the threads werenโ€™t changing.

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ I don't think Trump's election should be the template

2018-04-24 16:49:15 UTC

Kinda retarded to compare presidential elections to a special election lol

2018-04-24 16:49:30 UTC

If anything compare it to how much that representative won by

2018-04-24 16:49:49 UTC

The rep before Thai I mean

2018-04-24 17:11:21 UTC

"Polls close at 10 p.m. Eastern, and first results are expected around 11 p.m. There will be no live forecast tonight. It's not as useful in races, like this one, where most of the vote is cast by mail."

2018-04-24 17:11:37 UTC

11pm Eastern

debbie vs hiral

2018-04-24 17:13:24 UTC

jesus christ

2018-04-24 17:13:42 UTC

that's the best that democracy had to offer in that district

2018-04-24 17:24:24 UTC

I sadly can't stay for long.

2018-04-24 17:25:12 UTC

@Sam Southern - TN Hiral has some charisma

2018-04-24 17:25:26 UTC

and I guess Debbie has that "conservative mom" appeal

2018-04-24 17:25:40 UTC

anyone who wants a mom running their country is fucking insane.

2018-04-24 17:27:24 UTC

yeah, but much of the country has poor judgment when it comes to electing politicians

2018-04-24 17:27:30 UTC

much of the world, rather

2018-04-24 17:28:07 UTC

hence why restricting the vote is so important.

2018-04-24 17:29:06 UTC

extend the length of terms, decrease the total number of terms allowed to 2 for all positions. force these idiots to focus on the long term rather than getting elected in two years. restrict the vote to tax-paying, zero-welfare-receiving, head of household only.

2018-04-24 17:29:15 UTC

I would prefer to make it only those who own land as well.

2018-04-24 17:29:31 UTC

If you don't have a physical stake in the soil that makes up the nation, you are not invested in it.

2018-04-24 18:04:21 UTC

Better than land would be a parenthood requirement for voting

2018-04-24 18:05:09 UTC

Then the only ones that can vote are those with a stake in the future of the nation

2018-04-24 18:09:47 UTC

IMO you gotta set standards for who becomes a parent in the first place

2018-04-24 18:10:04 UTC

Remember, folks

2018-04-24 18:10:06 UTC

we all know that there are certain...segments of the population who shouldn't be having children in the first place

2018-04-24 18:10:31 UTC

The PA-18 electorate was D+4 by party registration by default, 48 to 44, appx. the same as RVs.
Turnout was 52.3% among reg. Dems, 51.7% among Reps, 32% w/other.
18-29 year olds represented just 6% of the electorate

2018-04-24 18:12:14 UTC

I mean yeah of course

2018-04-24 18:12:37 UTC

Maybe in return for certain welfare programs you get sterilized or something

2018-04-24 18:12:49 UTC

The AZ-08 district has a lot of registered Rs and doesn't have the same D ancestry PA-18 did
Win/loss is one of many qs -- more important to compare to a baseline, see how Rs do w/high turnout, etc

2018-04-24 18:13:26 UTC

Generally the type of people who do have children take more precautions than single people especially when voting

2018-04-24 18:14:03 UTC

UT-03 -> solid Trump overperformance (!) + R registration advantage
GA-06 -> pretty close to Trump performance in Gingrich's old seat
KS-04 -> good R registration + big Trump underperformance

2018-04-24 18:14:07 UTC

If you vote for someone and you are childless, you vote for your own future, if you vote and have children, you're trying to look out for their future

2018-04-24 18:14:39 UTC

Yeah, lot of factors to go on

2018-04-24 18:14:54 UTC

The game is tough

2018-04-24 18:16:30 UTC

I'm now convinced a Trump endorsement is a curse

2018-04-24 18:16:33 UTC

a kiss of death

2018-04-24 18:27:00 UTC

Trump endorsed a bunch of people who won

2018-04-24 18:27:14 UTC

hell, when he endorsed Strange against Moore, Strange actually got a boost

2018-04-24 18:27:17 UTC

not enough, but it was a boost

2018-04-24 18:27:19 UTC

same with Saccone

2018-04-24 18:27:26 UTC

of course, that's assuming you believe >polls

2018-04-24 18:27:58 UTC

Handel won, Gianforte won, the Lieutenant Governor Trumpian candidate did better than Gillespie

Button Mash's real name ^

2018-04-24 19:20:02 UTC

Jill Vogel was way more liberal than Gillespie

2018-04-24 19:21:03 UTC

Also the AG candidate was way more conservative than the both of them and still lost by 6 points

2018-04-24 19:21:32 UTC

Virginia is a blue state

2018-04-24 19:21:59 UTC

The fact that people were surprised and the fact that Liberals were playing the โ€œMuh Blue Waveโ€ Card shows the retardation

2018-04-24 19:22:14 UTC

This is the State Terry McAullife was Governor of

2018-04-24 19:22:25 UTC

@Rhodesiaboo yep, Republicans are the underdog in Virginia now

2018-04-24 19:22:28 UTC

it's been blue since 2008

2018-04-24 19:22:53 UTC

"Jill Vogel was way more liberal than Gillespie"

in what way ?

2018-04-24 19:26:49 UTC

She represents a district in the North of Virginia, opposes gerrymandering and overall a strong opposition to religious conservativism (which still has sway in Virginia)

2018-04-24 19:27:23 UTC

If Gillespie had talked more about taxes and the economy to get the Northerners on side rather than MS-13 then he would have done much better

2018-04-24 19:33:30 UTC

Gov. Hogan is pretty much 100% chance of winning

2018-04-24 19:43:18 UTC

Prediction

2018-04-24 19:43:25 UTC

Lesko wins by 8 points

2018-04-24 19:43:30 UTC

Which is,

2018-04-24 19:43:34 UTC

technically a loss

2018-04-24 19:43:37 UTC

Goucher Poll must be severely biased

2018-04-24 19:43:42 UTC

Well technically it's a win

2018-04-24 19:43:46 UTC

Nope

2018-04-24 19:43:47 UTC

But it is a severe underperformance

2018-04-24 19:43:51 UTC

it's a swing

2018-04-24 19:43:54 UTC

and therefore a loss

2018-04-24 19:44:02 UTC

<:wojaktrump:422438927631384577>

2018-04-24 19:44:04 UTC

a loss of votes. not a loss of the seat

2018-04-24 19:44:18 UTC

it's indicative of a greater trend

2018-04-24 19:44:41 UTC

Our <@&414481037620543488> nibbas better work to change the trend.

2018-04-24 19:52:43 UTC

I mean, that means that we'll keep the house.

2018-04-24 19:53:00 UTC

@Pielover19 (We won't (and that's a good thing))

2018-04-24 19:53:14 UTC

Huh? How so?

2018-04-24 19:53:35 UTC

@Pielover19 because he's the local doomsayer

2018-04-24 19:53:38 UTC

Also, we still got a 50 percent chance to win the house.

2018-04-24 19:54:24 UTC

If Republicans lose the House, they'll learn their lesson and be forced to adapt to the will of their new base

2018-04-24 19:55:01 UTC

lol if they lose the house then it just further contributes to the idea that Trump is just poison and needs to go

2018-04-24 19:56:32 UTC

Oh, that's a good point

2018-04-24 19:56:52 UTC

Like most people in the party itself are just waiting for 2018

2018-04-24 19:57:03 UTC

If we lose big then they don't want Trump to stay

2018-04-24 20:04:12 UTC

"lol if they lose the house then it just further contributes to the idea that Trump is just poison and needs to go"

not really

2018-04-24 20:04:25 UTC

if we lose with trump at the head

2018-04-24 20:04:42 UTC

then just about everyone who has any real position in the party will just want to see the back of him

The Senate just voted to confirm Kyle Duncan to the 5th Circuit, Trump's FIFTEENTH appellate judge. A staggering number at this juncture. Most of them are young conservatives who could sit on the bench for 30+ years.

You don't find many white males who are liberal anymore

2018-04-24 20:17:45 UTC

if they are, you can easily assume they are gay

2018-04-24 20:17:49 UTC

We don't even have any declared GOP candidates.

2018-04-24 20:17:56 UTC

@RoastedAdawg Bernie is old as fuck

2018-04-24 20:18:03 UTC

Heโ€™ll probably die soon

2018-04-24 20:18:17 UTC

He'll inspire a wave of new socialists

2018-04-24 20:18:42 UTC

And then we have Leahy as our other senator

2018-04-24 20:18:50 UTC

Fucking been there since 1975

2018-04-24 20:19:05 UTC

Who will probably also die

2018-04-24 20:19:14 UTC

I swear to god all these old people in the senate

2018-04-24 20:19:37 UTC

We need a wave of Tom Cottons to replace all these old guard loons

Early/absentee

2018-04-24 20:40:52 UTC

Like 100,000 (mostly republican) retirees are on a permanent absentee vote

2018-04-24 20:44:31 UTC

@FLanon @Deleted User <@&414478847266783243> BREAKING: TX Gov. Abbott schedule June 30, 2018 special election for TX27, the seat left vacant by resigning Rep. Blake Farenthold.

TX-27 has an R+26 partisan lean, and elected Farenthold with a 23-point margin last cycle.

2018-04-24 20:57:20 UTC

let's keep an eye on the primaries and make sure we endorse a solid candidate

2018-04-24 20:57:30 UTC

one that fits the six pillars

2018-04-24 20:57:33 UTC

what are they again ?

2018-04-24 20:58:32 UTC

1.) grassroots
2.) ideological purists
3.) no personality cultists (reagan, bush, trump, anyone)
4.) no milquetoasts/squishes (will fight back against the media when justified)
5.) saints (no scandals)
6.) no too many ties to corporations and special interests
these are the six pillars to the perfect candidate

2018-04-24 21:16:17 UTC

Thank God!

2018-04-24 21:16:26 UTC

Fred Upton (MI-06) has filed for re-election

2018-04-24 21:16:35 UTC

bullet dodged right there!

2018-04-24 21:23:39 UTC

Okay, gentlemen. The special election

2018-04-24 21:25:00 UTC

There is no good outcome

2018-04-24 21:25:08 UTC

unless we win by 13+ points

2018-04-24 21:25:15 UTC

which won't happen

2018-04-24 21:30:02 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ I'm not aware of any candidate ever who fits all 6 pillars

2018-04-24 21:30:13 UTC

When're the results coming out?

2018-04-24 21:30:19 UTC

10 PM EST
