5-10 districts could be lost here alone
if that happens, hopefully we make up for it by picking up seats in the rust belt
and areas in the midwest / south that are held by weak Democrat incumbents
this is why we need strict federal voter ID, the stuff people can get away with in cali's voting system is insane
what area of California do you live in ? Here in NYC there are quite a few Trump supporters if you look for them, but they're just drowned out by the rest
from what I can tell, many Democrat voters aren't even the "reeee" type
they're just used to voting for the D candidate because they're minorities who've been doing that for decades
what's it like politically over there in California ?
over here, the 'reeeee' types tend to be white transplants
it's like that a lot up in New England, lot of union type voting for Ds
hopefully one of these days if the GOP ends up being more like a worker's party like Trump's trying to make it, there'll be a few flips
I wonder how many voters Trump could have flipped if he campaigned in and targeted certain demographics in New England, the urban northeast, college students, the west coast, other blue areas
I live in Orange county
this used to be a Republican stronghold
it might not have been worth the effort, but it's definitely possible to flip voters from D to R
Thoughts on Austin Petersen running for MO Senate?
overrated
open borders are a massive deal breaker
Missouri is the best state to flip this year
And John James for MI Senate?
it could be competitive in theory
I think we need to prioritize winnability over anything else
definitely
it's better to have an R who can be influenced to be less of a cuck after they won
right, we need make each state as competitive as humanly possible
than a D who can't be influenced
if they have an anti immigration position, I think that's really the only metric to care about
my goal is to have RAISE passed
Bannon's strategy of warring against establishment cucks should have started in Trump's 2nd term, not his 1st
yeah, Flake and Corker have really been the only ones who have posed an issue legislatively who are up this year, looking at Alabama, that should've never been lost
Going after Strange was foolish, he voted for Trump's agenda 98% of the time
his goal was to take out McConnell, but by just pushing Moore into the nomination and abandoning the campaign after the allegations, he's given McConnell more clout than he could've ever imagined
now we're asking the question "is this guy going to be a risk" after what happened because of Bannon
the thing is, I wonder how many primary voters flipped from Strange to Moore after Bannon's endorsement
does Bannon really hold that much clout among GOP primary voters?
another thing, bringing the guy from Blackwater to run in Wyoming is such a ridiculous idea, what has he even done in the state
he's just someone who worked for Breitbart
and became a prominent figure in the Trump administration after Trump won, but...I don't see how that translates to political clout among voters
the thing is, a lot of people had it in their heads that he was the voice behind MAGA, and that he was what won the campaign
I think Moore might have won the primary regardless
