A 15 point shift from 2015's SC election in WI

2018-05-15 03:02:09 UTC

From Wisconsin. Hard to predict our politics. Notorious for going one way for state politics, but hard the other way for national positions.

It's ok for you to say this stuff because you're Button

2018-05-15 03:02:16 UTC

The state of WI is not a liberal state

2018-05-15 03:02:23 UTC

it's +0 PVI state

2018-05-15 03:02:29 UTC

If I said it, FLanon would throw a fit and say I'm demoralizing.

2018-05-15 03:02:37 UTC

it does have a lot of white voters

2018-05-15 03:02:44 UTC

winning a state like this as a PROGRESSIVE with 11 whopping points?!

2018-05-15 03:02:50 UTC

Dear God

2018-05-15 03:03:09 UTC

To make matters worse, zak,

Trump at a -14 with whites there.

2018-05-15 03:05:37 UTC

right?

2018-05-15 03:05:40 UTC

Or was it -11

2018-05-15 03:05:57 UTC

-11

2018-05-15 03:06:28 UTC

Rust Belt Whites gambled their vote with Trump,

2018-05-15 03:06:33 UTC

and now they're regretting it

2018-05-15 03:06:45 UTC

If you think i'm just shilling, well,

2018-05-15 03:06:58 UTC

explain the horrible election results we've been seeing

2018-05-15 03:07:07 UTC

Because they're pretty grim indicators

2018-05-15 03:09:09 UTC

No I agree with you.

2018-05-15 03:09:40 UTC

But it makes no sense because those states weren't effected by immigration nor was it their top issue.

2018-05-15 03:10:01 UTC

Trump is handling our terrible trade policy and even implemented tariffs

2018-05-15 03:10:06 UTC

and did tax reform

2018-05-15 03:10:11 UTC

That was all for the rust belt

2018-05-15 03:10:26 UTC

Um no sweetie

2018-05-15 03:10:46 UTC

always hate it when you say that...

2018-05-15 03:11:15 UTC

Small towns in the Midwest have diversified more quickly than almost any part of the U.S. since the start of an immigration wave at the beginning of this century. The resulting cultural changes appear to be moving the political needle.

A Wall Street Journal analysis of census data shows that counties in a distinct cluster of Midwestern statesโ€”Iowa, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois and Minnesotaโ€”saw among the fastest influxes of nonwhite residents of anywhere in the U.S. between 2000 and 2015. Hundreds of cities long dominated by white residents got a burst of Latino newcomers who migrated from Central America or uprooted from California and Texas.

2018-05-15 03:11:37 UTC

Well yeah, but they haven't taken their jobs.

2018-05-15 03:11:42 UTC

Nor do they care for them yet.

2018-05-15 03:11:49 UTC

Remember it was the same with CA button.

2018-05-15 03:11:57 UTC

we didn't care about the immigrants initially

2018-05-15 03:12:15 UTC

Everyone who did care left or is leaving

2018-05-15 03:12:21 UTC

2018-05-15 03:46:12 UTC

2018-05-15 04:37:09 UTC

also, who here has read this article

2018-05-15 04:37:59 UTC

"I know many liberals, and two of them really are my best friends. Liberals make good movies and television shows. Their idealism has been an inspiration for me and many others. Many liberals are very smart. But they are not as smart, or as persuasive, as they think.

And a backlash against liberals โ€” a backlash that most liberals donโ€™t seem to realize theyโ€™re causing โ€” is going to get President Trump re-elected.

People often vote against things instead of voting for them: against ideas, candidates and parties. Democrats, like Republicans, appreciate this whenever they portray their opponents as negatively as possible. But members of political tribes seem to have trouble recognizing that they, too, can push people away and energize them to vote for the other side. Nowhere is this more on display today than in liberal control of the commanding heights of American culture."

2018-05-15 05:22:25 UTC

Why point out what they're doing wrong?

2018-05-15 05:30:36 UTC

That's bullcrap.

2018-05-15 17:08:52 UTC

The polling, approval rating, news, and primary results show Republicans gaining, yet they push some districts to the left.

2018-05-15 17:09:11 UTC

That's why we trust the Red Storm Crystal Ball instead...

2018-05-15 17:15:44 UTC

It's actually perfect.

2018-05-15 17:16:01 UTC

My projection so far,

2018-05-15 17:16:12 UTC

GOP lose these seats for sure: 7 (AZ-02, CA-49, FL-27, NJ-02, PA-05, PA-06, PA-07)

2018-05-15 17:17:22 UTC

I put all of those in the Democratic column.

2018-05-15 17:17:53 UTC

Barring a great jungle primary result in CA-49, we'll lose all of them.

2018-05-15 17:21:02 UTC

@Pielover19 Special election in your state BTW

2018-05-15 17:21:09 UTC

2018-05-15 17:21:12 UTC

yes

2018-05-15 17:21:14 UTC

For what position?

2018-05-15 17:21:26 UTC

And is it today?

2018-05-15 17:22:27 UTC

oops nvm, that's for the 21st

2018-05-15 17:26:28 UTC

There are elections today.

2018-05-15 17:27:33 UTC

Special election to fill the seat of the Democratic senate minority leader, and another special election to fill the seat of a Republican convicted of mail fraud.

2018-05-15 17:28:33 UTC

The senate one is in a majority black district, so we don't really have a chance to pick it up. The house seat is pretty close to me, but I'm not in the district. It's right near Huntsville.

2018-05-15 17:28:45 UTC

Could be a Dem pickup.

2018-05-15 17:29:03 UTC

2018-05-15 18:42:12 UTC

Trump is hoping to win CO and MN in 2020

2018-05-15 18:42:25 UTC

if he builds it and gets a mandate in 2018

2018-05-15 18:42:37 UTC

I think it's way too early to make that call

2018-05-15 18:42:40 UTC

Only one problem, the incumbent usually underperforms in their second bid for office

2018-05-15 18:43:12 UTC

Nah

2018-05-15 18:43:26 UTC

There's been a trend of people winning reelection in the past few cycles

2018-05-15 18:43:30 UTC

It's there a 1.1 point swing in favor for Democrats nationwide, Trump loses the election

2018-05-15 18:45:53 UTC

got to think of that incumbency advantage though

2018-05-15 18:46:04 UTC

I'd say it's too early to call at this point

2018-05-15 18:46:13 UTC

The guy in power right now is pretty popular

2018-05-15 18:46:24 UTC

I don't see a massive swing against him

2018-05-15 18:46:31 UTC

Remember, Obama lost millions of voters from 2008 to 2012

2018-05-15 18:46:35 UTC

yes

2018-05-15 18:46:36 UTC

and won

2018-05-15 18:46:39 UTC

and he was moderately popular

2018-05-15 18:46:43 UTC

Yeah cause he was a terrible president too

2018-05-15 18:46:48 UTC

And still won

2018-05-15 18:46:49 UTC

but it was closer than it was last time

2018-05-15 18:46:59 UTC

okay

2018-05-15 18:46:59 UTC

he lost NC and IN

2018-05-15 18:47:04 UTC

and almost lost other states

2018-05-15 18:47:05 UTC

but on the same token, what about george bush

2018-05-15 18:47:09 UTC

And McCain was awful

2018-05-15 18:47:11 UTC

9/11

2018-05-15 18:47:14 UTC

Lol

2018-05-15 18:47:14 UTC

I am talking about NJ 02

2018-05-15 18:47:16 UTC

Lol

2018-05-15 18:47:32 UTC

Well to close this discussion

2018-05-15 18:47:36 UTC

No way MN is going red

2018-05-15 18:47:42 UTC

CO isn't either

2018-05-15 18:47:47 UTC

There are a couple of factors you should keep in mind for re-election in 2020: Incumbency, popularity and who's running against him

2018-05-15 18:48:00 UTC

anyways, wouldn't ever say that a district is ever certain to go one way or another

2018-05-15 18:48:20 UTC

No way Minnesota is going red?

2018-05-15 18:48:21 UTC

Twin cities

2018-05-15 18:48:29 UTC

Somalis

2018-05-15 18:48:55 UTC

if Trump manages to pull himself up and get a mandate in congress, 2020 will be a landslide

2018-05-15 18:48:57 UTC

He still only lost that by 1.5%

2018-05-15 18:49:26 UTC

if he doesn't, then it gets pretty competitive

2018-05-15 18:49:42 UTC

So many vulnerable states

2018-05-15 18:50:16 UTC

but anyways, better margins would be immense for his campaign promises

2018-05-15 18:50:21 UTC

I think we can win Minnesota

2018-05-15 18:50:40 UTC

I am not sure about Colorado though

2018-05-15 18:50:40 UTC

He also only won MI by .1%

2018-05-15 18:50:58 UTC

PA by <1% and same with FL

2018-05-15 18:51:02 UTC

And WI too

2018-05-15 18:51:06 UTC

He's not taking MN

2018-05-15 18:51:33 UTC

All the trends are against him and the democrats are going to run a good candidate

2018-05-15 18:51:33 UTC

If he manages to get better congressional margins, then he'll take it easily

2018-05-15 18:51:41 UTC

Nope

2018-05-15 18:51:42 UTC

It'll be a very productive Congress

2018-05-15 18:51:53 UTC

Won't matter, I know for sure.

2018-05-15 18:51:56 UTC

And a whole lot of campaign promises would get through

2018-05-15 18:51:56 UTC

Solid 96%

"won't matter"

2018-05-15 18:52:03 UTC

yep

2018-05-15 18:52:07 UTC

what do you mean exactly

2018-05-15 18:52:37 UTC

I mean that it won't matter, the biggest probability is MN and CO are staying blue

2018-05-15 18:52:48 UTC

PA and WI are going blue also in 2020

2018-05-15 18:52:55 UTC

The question is

2018-05-15 18:53:00 UTC

Who will run against Trump

2018-05-15 18:53:05 UTC

Bernie

2018-05-15 18:53:06 UTC

If Trump gets congress much more on his side, then the entire base would come back to vote for him in 2020

2018-05-15 18:53:09 UTC

I think that's the biggest factor for 2020

2018-05-15 18:53:24 UTC

And he could potentially swing people to vote for him

2018-05-15 18:53:28 UTC

Honesty the democrats can run anyone and do well

2018-05-15 18:53:33 UTC

Clinton was so bad

2018-05-15 18:53:33 UTC

No

2018-05-15 18:53:35 UTC

So unpopular

2018-05-15 18:53:39 UTC

That is not true

2018-05-15 18:53:51 UTC

Biden would do better

2018-05-15 18:53:51 UTC

There's a ton of people they'd basically be shooting themselves in the foot by running

2018-05-15 18:53:56 UTC

If they really want to win

2018-05-15 18:54:00 UTC

He would be their best option in winning

2018-05-15 18:54:05 UTC

They rub Michelle Obama

2018-05-15 18:54:10 UTC

?

2018-05-15 18:54:10 UTC

Run*

2018-05-15 18:54:19 UTC

But he'd become an octogenarian in office

2018-05-15 18:54:27 UTC

Michelle was always a meme to me

2018-05-15 18:54:45 UTC

Michelle will get all the obama voters

2018-05-15 18:54:52 UTC

Nah

2018-05-15 18:54:54 UTC

not all of them

2018-05-15 18:55:01 UTC

What the blacks

2018-05-15 18:55:02 UTC

Yeah

2018-05-15 18:55:03 UTC

And any criticism you give to her will be called racist or mysoginust

2018-05-15 18:55:11 UTC

Can't beat her

2018-05-15 18:55:12 UTC

We could see 3 Obama officials run against each other

2018-05-15 18:55:15 UTC

right because that worked so well with Hillary

2018-05-15 18:55:24 UTC

Yeah

2018-05-15 18:55:36 UTC

I don't know, I just don't picture her doing well on a debate stage
