It has a trend for both sides

And this is a different narrative you fed me than before the election

Anthony Weiner's seat, which is D+34, mind you, went Republican after his scandal

You said AZ-08 is a great example because they're no "X" factors, and the Republican is running on immigration reform and the Democrat is running on socialized medicine. So I was told it would be a great indicator of how the election cycle would go with our current platform.

I forgot about that one

And I Anthony weiner made national news for weeks.

And I don't think I said that, by the way.

I didn't even know their Republican resgined in scandal.

Anthony was all over the place, on every news station being talked about.

We suppressed their votes hard.

This is just an effect which happens after resignations, the incumbent party is always depressed.

That didn't happen in AZ-08

He wasn't near as paraded as Anthony was

It doesn't dismiss this effect

It minimizes it as an excuse

In my own district back in '06, the congressman turned out to be a pedophile and a dem came in and swept the seat

The truth is the 17-20 point swing has been the average.

Regardless of the X factors.

I think I read that on Washington Post.

That changed recently

With that average they're going to have themself like 80 seats

Oh it did?

We had districts go 2 points left and 4 points left

Last night

Ok so lets take the hundreds of special elections

And take the two new ones into account

And redo the average

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 by the way, how did those other districts last night swing?

Probably still going to be 15+

The thing is there's new factors that are coming up

Maybe we are just kicking the can down the road. Everytime we lose I see this discord try to blame it on something out of our control.
"Allegations, the enemy was a Conservative Democrat, the opponent looked better, the opposition party has better turnout."

Those hundreds of special elections happened before this whole issue with Korea's come up

All these excuses are still going to be prevalent in the midterms anyway

Maybe it's time we realize our policy's aren't near as popular as we need them to be.

maybe we need to compromise.

Leave

*sigh*

That has no place here

I'm just suggesting a way to victory.
