there's bound to be more than a few solid GOP candidates to take his place

from what I saw he was a good guy and he beat the dem in the polls consistently

So many fucking Austin Petersen shills in midterm threads is one thing I've definitely noticed

Why do conservatives not understand that hispanics tend to vote for bigger government?

I wonder why

it's ridiculous

you have these Bushian retards that think that amnesty= future GOP voters as if they'll be gracious or something

didn't happen with Reagan

and then you have these Petersen shills come in with their fucking gadsden flags

I had an argument with one of these people, and the reason they apparently supported Petersen over Hawley was because "Hawley's a McConnell shill for Israel"

One thing about /pol/ which is absolutely autistic is some people have such a hard line against Israel that they'll literally support open borders cultural suicide candidates to spite them.

yeah, that's stupid. There's little one can do at the moment to break AIPAC's influence. A pro-Israel Republican losing to an open borders Democrat would harm us much more than the opposite happening, because one more pro-Israel politician won't change anything whereas one more open borders SJW pandering Democrat can do a lot of damage

the Israel thing is such a fucking small one it's painful

the real big Israel issue is apparently there's a lot of Israeli dual citizens in congress

If someone were to make a sort of anti-conflict of interest bill which made it to where you had to denounce that citizenry, that'd be good

overall though, it's not as much of a priority

Israel gets in the way in the Mid-East, but it's not as monumental as people make it.

I say let the Nehlens little by little chip away at its influence as they become more prominent, then we'll start asking these questions.

lol we've had two shills save the thread from being archived today

hmm

I'm thinking of rewriting the OP

wtf are dems /ourguy/

/pol/ is more for online activism

I'm all ears

current /ptg/ thread only has 138 posters

that's going to have practically 0 impact if we have them all go out door-to-door

whereas 138 posters can easily reach 10,000 people each --> 1,380,000

so more focus on online psyops is what you're suggesting?

using the Internet

yeah

sounds like a good idea

also, we should closely monitor spaces like /r/BlueMidterm2018

Daily Kos, Democratic Underground

the left is miles ahead of the right in terms of online organization

maybe gather evidence in case they decide to conspire in bussing or something?

the American right is sadly still mostly comprised of boomers (arguably the left is as well)

yeah

Is bussing even illegal though ?

If it isn't, we should try to get the GOP to fund bussing of their own

when you do it to multiple polling stations yeah lol

oh, yeah

I heard that Trump would have won New Hampshire and Nevada were it not for illegal bussing

definitely NH, possibly NV

I don't care about HIM winning those states as much as the senate seats.

also, I wonder if there was any fraud in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania

the margins were really thin

from what I've seen those states are clean

I also wonder if Trump really did win the popular vote in reality if you subtract all the voter fraud away

MI does paper ballots exclusively, and they recounted votes in WI

(especially given the fact that Hillary somehow did better in California than Obama in 2012 while performing worse in every other state)

didn't the Wisconsin recount reveal even more votes for Trump

This is why I suggest strict federal voter ID legislation

the fact that the Rs didn't try that when they had so much legislative power in the Bush era fucking astounds me

Bush Republicans are pretty much establishment stooges though

and Bush was a "welcome hispanics into the GOP" kind of guy

Fair enough, but you'd think they'd care about their own political capital enough to do voter ID legislation

If they want to make it a "hispanics welcome" party, they could have at least pushed voter ID

They've known about this kind of stuff for fucking decades, and no one does anything about it

Closest thing I've seen is the Kobach commission, and it was disbanded recently

Even if most states didn't comply, they had the rolls from NH and NV I think, they could have made a good case right there and then.

For Christ's sake I hope that 4d chess shit is real or this is going to be fucking terrible

excuse me

this dot map shows the political and racial demographics of the US

http://demographics.virginia.edu/DotMap/congress.html

all these small, white towns in Minnesota-8 make the district ripe for the taking

good. we should have info like this for when the next general is posted

what are your thoughts on this movement

I support it

yeah, it's been really picking up steam in the media recently

not sure if this or State of Jefferson would be better though

tbh they should call the east side "california" and the west side "American Nuclear Testing Zone"

I like it, Just wish the borders where a bit better

notice something?

the redder areas are smaller, whiter towns
that's Trump's base
don't forget,
small, white towns

https://gop.com/the-highly-anticipated-2017-fake-news-awards/

their website is straining from all the traffic

I wonder if Trump deliberately did this to let the GOP Establishment know who holds the real power

hopefully it conveys the reality check they need

they've been sitting on their ass when it comes to voter turnout

the fact that their shitty website is crashing because of Trump should remind them who gave them the power they currently have

new thread

I'm not reading into it that deeply

certainly symbolic though

There is a special election on Tuesday, January 23rd for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives 35th District. Don't forget to vote!

https://ballotpedia.org/State_legislative_special_elections,_2018#January_23.2C_2018

REGISTER TO VOTE ASAP
https://www.eac.gov/voters/register-and-vote-in-your-state/

It's so annoying we have to do the job of the RNC for them

We need to maximize the white vote

whens the next race?

23rd, Pittsburgh

Democrat control, but it's harrowed Rust Belt territory

Well let's see if we can't spin that around

on Facebook under the 'Current Headlines' section I saw this dumb MSM post about how Trump is 'scrambling' and 'panicking' because he's campaigning for the GOP candidate in that seat

is he really?

fucking amazing

let me make the new general btw

there's a reason to be concerned

if he's campaigning that means he sees this and is taking action

remember, these people want us to lose

I'd be panicking too if I was the President and my party was losing 35 seats since I took office

Trump's best when he's live

net loss of 31

I wouldn't call it 'panic'

I would call it a measured response born out of appropriate concern

'caution'

http://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/157184007

new thread

The tweets are ok and all, but at a rally it's full of energy, he gets people going

the governor of Wisconsin was panicked that's for sure

I 100% think that if Trump made a live appearance at VA during Gillespie or AL during Moore, they most certainly would have won instead of putting out some tweet saying "hey guys vote"

That's how he gets turnout

We need Trump to be an activist for his party this year, an asset.

Gillespie actually rejected an offer by Trump to rally for him

Still, the principle stands

That was certainly a stupid move to make

You need all the awareness you can get

good thing Trump rallied too, his voters are concentrated in that district

small, white towns everywhere

btw guys, have the discussion in the thread so that it bumps it and keeps it from getting slid

He needs to pull all the rallies possible

He's got to be able to get 2016 levels

Here's my prediction: GOP wins, but because of massive Dem fundraising they do better than normal, which leads to them saying "durr here's further proof of le blue wave"

(that's what happened for all the other special House elections. GOP wins, but Democrats do better than usual because of massive amounts of $ and media attention)

I have no clue what the RNC is planning

that's the fucking thing

I can picture a blue wave happening if the RNC continues to sit on their ass

There's the possibility they're lazy retards

Paul Ryan has earned 44 million dollars this year in donations

he better spend in on the race

Is it his to spend or the party's to spend

@FLanon there's also the huge possibility that because they're establishment politicians, they'd rather let Democrats win than have Trump win

he can direct it to the RNC

of course

or spend it on his own campaign

they'd rather be the minority party than be the majority party with responsibilities

the second one probably

when they're the minority party, they also will be called racist less often

all they can do is block

ffs we need good offense

The main hope I have for this year isn't in the party itself to campaign well, but for Trump to do something massive and/or campaign with a ton of energy

I think I get the RNC's strategy

they're going for a full-scale offensive in the Senate

save money, spend it on the US elections

I recognize it

but a hunkered down defense in the House

I think it's a terrible idea

money is good, but guerilla campaigning is better

this isn't a contest of "whoever racks up the most shekels wins"

remember Clinton always

Oof, Clinton blew 1.2 billion

that's why we need a good offensive on all fronts and not just have a lot of money, but use what we have effectively.

Trump > RNC when it comes to election strategy

he beat out their 16 best people

that has to count for something

yeah

you'd think that GOP candidates would learn from Trump when it comes to winning

but they all use the same tired strategies

I thought Moore was doing ok because his Twitter responses were decent, but then again he probably wasn't in charge of his Twitter

I wish Gingrich had a larger role in all of this

Gingrich isn't even busy with anything

Trump should hire him

it sounds like the kind of savvy play he'd make

Twitter doesn't win elections, Gillespie and Moore taught me that

He has the numbers to show for it. He pulled off '94 and got the fucking speaker unseated

He knows how to run a massive campaign, that's it.

Ryan is fucking clueless, he rode the wave in the late '90s and sat on his ass while he got the speaker position

Gingrich was brilliant,

the contract was key

Trump needs good advisors for the midterms, definitely. A team.

The first:
#NoWhiteDemocrats
Step 1. Set up sockpuppet black Twitter accounts
Step 2. Screech at all liberals who are white and moderates who are white, attack whites running for congress and keeping their seat in Congress. Try to turn the Dem party into the 'POC Party'. Attack Pelosi, etc.
3. When people are questioning whether to stay, berate them even more to get them to 'get out of your party white debils'.
That's one technique.
Another I thought of is #RaiseOurTaxes
Step 1: More sockpuppets
Step 2: Pose as Democrat voters and attempt to make undoing the Trump tax cuts as a major part of the Democratic program for the midterms
Step 3: Find random moderates, and ask them if they saved anything in taxes. (Use MaximLotts Tax Calculator)
Step 4: If they did (90-95%), berate them, call them 'bourgeois fucks', 'rich cunts' and the such, try to alienate them as much as humanly possible.

what do you guys think of this idea

that was my post

ha, I suspected it was

It's very simple, people are sensitive.

They don't like being yelled at, they hold grudges.

Some people may get the idea that whites aren't welcome anymore in the Dem party, and will simply not vote, or vote for the opposite party

Also, no one likes having their taxes raised

I got that idea in particular from seeing a screencap of a reddit post which suggested that 'the dems run on raising taxes' on the night it was passed, which was completely retarded but inspiring

They're becoming pretty popular now, so attempting to repeal them while all this news of new job growth and a lot of middle class people saving on taxes can only hurt Dems

someone bump the thread

what up

Hello

oh shit

someone bump the thread

lol shit, too late

I might make a new one before tonight ends

hmm

shill this, this will hurt Dems badly in the coming midterms

THEYRE FIGHTING BACK

yep, that's why I've been saying it's too early to come to a definite conclusion. So much shit like this can happen between now and November

BREAKING: Federal prosecutors have notified the court that they intend to retry Sen. Robert Menendez on bribery and corruption charges and have requested the earliest possible retrial date.

NEW JERSEY SENATE SEAT IN PLAY

hell yeah

the thing is...it's still New Jersey

I think Chris Christie trashed the reputation of the GOP there

assuming Menendez resigns, the replacement Dem still has an relatively easy battle

if Menendez DOESN'T resign, the GOP challenger has the advantage, especially if they aren't connected to Christie and run a solid campaign

Christie was an awful governor, but he wasn't elected because the GOP became popular, he was elected as a rejection of Obama

from what I remember, it was because Corzine was awful

I don't think Obama had much to do with it

the Democrats in general were unpopular

Christie is one of the few conservatives I hate more than the leftists

@jackborne1893 why would you say that

The only leftist I could like is one who's an immigration hardliner, but those don't exist.

thing is about the leftists in government is that don't give an inch for anything

people talk about Manchin being better, but he votes the same way

what matters is the votes, really.

Hey people

what is it

Remember this picture of Joe Biden touching that boy’s penis

"no serious guys till you're 30"

@Rhodesiaboo What state you in

Ohio

what district

there are no competitive districts in OH this year

so?

only the Senate seat is

And the governorship

ah yes

I think the person running for the Republicans is Mike DeWine, the dems will pick either Richard Corday or Dennis Kucinich.

In the Senate race it’s weird thanks to the fact Mandel dropped out

got dub trips

someone bump the thread by asking a question

instead of discussing in the discord, discuss in the thread so it gets bumped up

someone bump the thread

Hey

whats up

where in Ohio are you from ? Columbus ?

Suburbs of Cleveland

Lake County

how popular is Kucinich over there

btw did someone post the Discord link in the thread today? I'm guessing that's how you found this

I don’t know

But he was mayor of Cleveland during the 70s

When the river catched on fire

yeah, I know. I loved him back when I was a leftist

In this state, the dems keep running the same people
