because there are two countervailing turnout trends
non-Whites have lower turnout in midterms
that helps the GOP, especially in the sunbelt
However....
Whites without College Degrees have lower turnout in midterms compared to Whites with College degrees
back in the day, that didn't really matter
but now, given the shift in education support, that can help the Dems in some districts
the one asterix on this, is that White College Educated is young skewed
so maybe the shift isn't as bad as we think, since Millennial turnout is abysmal in midterms
but... idk
I do know that Whites aged 18-22 vote no differently if they are in college than if they are outside of college
don't know if that trend carries over to other ages
Blum is a pretty right wing candidate
doesn't surprise me
Presidential turnout won't help him like last time
That's excessive, but him losing by 10 wouldn't surprise me
I agree he's certain to lose though
I think there's a little bit of that
very White areas as pretty elastic politically
and these people don't have a long history of voting GOP
IA-03 is still viable I think
what's up with Utah?
as much as Romney is establishment on a lot of issues, he's actually pretty reasonable on immigration
the fact that he's in a Safer-than-Safe race and is still running against illegal immigration tells you something

Romney on the issues wasn't too bad in 2012
strong on immigration, he wanted to label China a currency manipulator, etc.
if you look at the areas he gained ground in, those were the same areas Trump improved a lot in
my parents backed him in the primary in 2008
Romney didn't win Whites by 20, closer to 17
He only got like 57%, and I know Obama cleared 40%
Romney did slightly better than Trump in absolute terms among Whites, but did worse margin wise
and Trump had a far better distribution
gained votes in states that mattered, lost them in states that didn't
ehh, I don't know about that
that relies on exit poll estimates of the composition of the electorate, which are faulty
one second, I think there was an article about this
Fake News gonna Fake News
It's all so tiresome.
also - whose house did this occur at
am I wrong for thinking that a party that small would have to occur at one of the five's house?
she said the party was near this one country club - that's the only detail we have
but..... nobody's house of the five is within 3 miles of the place
Left: Kavanaugh is clearly a rapist because he might make Abortion illegal
grab the popcorn lads
Sinema caught lying about her past
also could we even get a wall currently?
you really think that between Flake, Corker, Collins, and Murkowski, that two of them wouldn't decide to torpedo it?
I think a wall is helpful in slowing down illicit crossings - but it shouldn't be the end all be all
ICE needs to be expanded, more border patrol agents
this is getting pathetic
not by itself
more border patrol are needed
ICE needs to be expanded
the wall is a good obstacle at slowing people down, making them easier to apprehend
but it's not some sort of fix all barrier
if he withdraws, the left will say that is an implicit assumption of guilt, and he will be branded a rapist the rest of his life
so does Kavanaugh speak in 20 minutes?
Anyways, Clarence Thomas lost 3 votes due to Anita Hill.
However, they were all from Democrats. Not one Republican abandoned him, and we had Republicans representing much more liberal states back then.
The outcome of this is entirely decided on how well Kavanaugh manages his testimony.
Kavanaugh is about to speak
this is the make or break moment
I'm watching this my girlfriend right now, and she started crying
This is a powerful statement
He needed something on par with the sort of statement Thomas gave
and I think this did it
I don't think I've been this mad about anything political in my life
Washington Post Reporter ^
well thankfully he's in Australia now
How did the rest of the hearing go after Cornyn spoke? I had an interview to attend
was the outside counsel utilized again?
or was it just at the beginning
and what grandstanding did Harris and Hirono do
floor vote scheduled at Saturday
Mitch is going all in
we are having a marathon 30 hour session of debate
so actual vote will be late Saturday evening
Kavanaugh could be sworn in on Sunday
MANCHIN LEANING YES
frankly, I was always skeptical that Manchin was going to lose
dude is an institution
some city boy from New Jersey isn't going to beat him
