all of those are in clinton districts

2018-09-23 21:28:28 UTC  

We'll get probably 56 or something at best with these cirucmstances

2018-09-23 21:28:35 UTC  

Which is probably good enough

2018-09-23 21:28:38 UTC  

@FLanon Yes. We should aim for 67 Senate Seats

2018-09-23 21:28:55 UTC  

We need to realistically go for 54-60

2018-09-23 21:28:57 UTC  

Even if its 10 less, that is great

2018-09-23 21:29:07 UTC  

Florida is leaning more and more towards rick scott

2018-09-23 21:29:26 UTC  

The FL GOP has to pour a lot more in the governor's race

2018-09-23 21:29:45 UTC  

We can survive Bill Nelson again, we're fucked if Gillum becomes governor

2018-09-23 21:30:00 UTC  

With 57 seats, we could repeal Obamacare with a real non skinny bill, we could pass 25 billion for wall funding, we could use the Nuclear option for The Goodlatte bill but in the senate and have up to 7 defections

2018-09-23 21:30:06 UTC  

I think the best hope is that We get a big surprise In October, and all 10 of the Democrats in Red States lose.

2018-09-23 21:30:43 UTC  

@FLanon Can a bill like the Goodlatte bill pass without 60 votes?

2018-09-23 21:31:01 UTC  

And by can I mean is it possible, even if theoretical

2018-09-23 21:31:10 UTC  

Like the leadership doesn't do it

2018-09-23 21:31:45 UTC  

If Trump put their heads in a vice

2018-09-23 21:32:20 UTC  

But he has to get the balls to do something like that in the first place.

2018-09-23 21:32:28 UTC  

Threaten their re-elections, stuff like that

2018-09-23 21:32:28 UTC  

If we get rid of all 10 of those Red State Democrat Senators, and just that, we will be fine

2018-09-23 21:32:50 UTC  

Because it means we will have 61 seats, and everything will be fine

2018-09-23 21:33:04 UTC  

primaries are over, so he can't really do that

2018-09-23 21:33:18 UTC  

waging a civil war against the GOPe is what Bannon tried

2018-09-23 21:33:19 UTC  

After the midterms

2018-09-23 21:33:20 UTC  

sadly that backfired

2018-09-23 21:33:34 UTC  

Well Trump has a lot more power among the GOP electorate than Bannon.

2018-09-23 21:34:28 UTC  

that's still risky. He needs the GOPe incumbents' votes. It's really risky to be so openly antagonistic against congressmen from your own party

2018-09-23 21:34:32 UTC  

And the entire 2016 primary season was a war against the GOPe.

2018-09-23 21:34:36 UTC  

He won.

2018-09-23 21:34:45 UTC  

Now he has the bully pulpit.

2018-09-23 21:34:55 UTC  

He's got to use it.

2018-09-23 21:35:03 UTC  

he wasn't the President in 2016

2018-09-23 21:35:11 UTC  

he wasn't focused on getting legislation passed

2018-09-23 21:35:15 UTC  

Exactly.

2018-09-23 21:35:22 UTC  

and to get legislation passed...you have to get along with GOPe incumbents

2018-09-23 21:35:24 UTC  

He wasn't the president, and he still beat them.

2018-09-23 21:35:34 UTC  

that's one of the main troubles of the Trump Presidency

2018-09-23 21:35:40 UTC  

He has to pull them in his direction.

2018-09-23 21:35:51 UTC  

Work with the GOPe? Or risk fighting them?

2018-09-23 21:36:00 UTC  

RS.

2018-09-23 21:36:12 UTC  

You saw that story about them dissing the idea of the wall.

2018-09-23 21:36:34 UTC  

campaigning for the Presidency is a different beast from having the Presidency

2018-09-23 21:36:39 UTC  

If he works with them, it will never be built and we'll be doomed to a few more years of tax cuts followed by a one-party state.
