Not if the Democrats are moderate Democrats though. Donnelly for instance is probably a more right-wing Democrat. Same with Manchin and Heitkamp
the GOP is going to spend a lot more money this year compared to the special elections last year, and they still managed to win most special elections
the only real victory the Democrats have was in Alabama, and that took a hell of a lot of money along with 24/7 pedo allegations running in the media
I don't understand why Democrats think that just because Alabama nearly went to Jones that somehow this is a referendum against Trump. Jones nearly won against a Pedo
it's good for us,
the Democrats will think they can win anywhere and with anyone
I mean, Jones did win
Moore was the one who 'nearly won'
Barely won***
despite the pedo allegations
My bad
they're going to run radical democrats in places like Texas and waste millions
yeah, that's the thing. Alabama gives them false confidence
do you know about the website predictit?
the comments section is dominated by leftists for some reason
(I'm not sure why they like to gamble...I'd have thought it would have been more right wing because of that)
Actually, the problem with Beto's campaign is that it isn't as funded as much as Ted Cruz's campaign. Many people don't know O Rourke, but a lot of them know Ted Cruz.
Democrats know very well that Texas is a goner and are not aiding them as much as the Reps are with Cruz
people in the comments section are circlejerking about how the Democrats caan take Texas
and about how "deep red Alabama turning blue means the other deep red areas can go blue, like Mississippi"
As a leftist, I know it's not true. Ted Cruz isn't as hated by Texas as Roy Moore was in Alabama
I think they're butthurt after a year of constant defeat, so they're clinging desperately to their victory in Alabama in December
what kind of leftist are you btw
I mean, two of the governorships went towards Democrats this year (although they are neoliberal corporatists)
Just a regular progressive
'regular progressive' in 2018 is different from 'regular progressive' in 2013...a lot has changed since then
I'm both fiscally and socially liberal.
fiscal as in Keynesian? or social democrat?
Not a Keynesian.
as long as you aren't pro Warren you may very well be safe here
Didn't Warren vote for like 80 million dollars in aid towards some War?
wouldn't surprise me
also never paid car taxes
ever
and never sent voluntary aid to schools even though she claimed she always had
can someone bump the thread
thanks
Yeah. I think Warren isn't really a progressive. Maybe on some issues but others not so much
