@jpc1976 "Let's Talk Elections" is some 13 year old kid who does an absolutely awful job, I'm not sure why people actually give him any praise

@GavinTheViking but we can win the rust belt, we just don't have the people I guess

Once the conservative Democrats are overtaken by the Progressives with party leadership in the Rust Belt, then conservative Dems will start to flip/continue to flip to Republican

Look at state legislatures in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

Look at the guy running in Paul Ryan's District

An Iron Worker endorsed by Bernie

Michigan: Senate 27-10 (R), House 63-46 (R) [Flipped majority R in 2011]

Republican?

Nope Democrat

Paul Ryan's District goes 60%-30% for Republican so its seems pretty safe

The Conservative running is

Eh

Doesn't even have Immigration as an issue on his website

Did Paul Ryan?

Not sure

It may not be a district that needs a strong immigration stance.

Paul Ryan was pretty cucky on immigration

Minnesota:
Senate 33-33 (1 Vacancy) [D control until 2011, R control 2011-2012, D control/swingy ever since 2012]
House 77-56 (R) [D from 1992-1998, R from 1999-2006, D from 2007-2010, swing since 2010]

@ThatRightWingFish

His ad just talked about Wisconsin Values

But the guy running for Senate in Wisconsin doesn't seem to bad

I may look up the four Rust Belt races later on today, get a good overview of them

Yep

Michigan is probably a lost cause

Wisconsin, Ohio and Pennsylvania I have a good feeling about eventhough PA seems kinda weak

Nah

Come on

A Black guy winning in a White State?

MI is probably one of our most likely pickups over there imo

Sandy and James are pretty weak in my opinion

The thing about whites is they have less baggage about voting for a blackie than the other way around

But what makes him a strong candidate?

Military record

Supports the wall

Pretty young

Wisconsin:
Senate 18-15 (R) [R from 2003-2006, D from 2007-2010, R from 2011-2013)
House 64-35 (R) [R from 1995-2008, D from 2009-2010, back to R in 2011)

I hate when candidates flex about their military background

You a commie or something?

No I just don't like it

It's just good optics.

What makes you special to go and preach about it
