"Trivia about the Ohio 12th district: according to Ballotpedia (https://ballotpedia.org/Ohi... the college graduation rate in this district is 37 %, the highest college graduation rate of all 16 Ohio congressional districts by a good margin. For another comparison, the college graduation rate in the Arizona 6th district (yesterday's special election) is 28 %. Why am I posting this - dunno, can't imagine how college graduation rate has anything to do with special elections :-)"
I wonder what effect this will have
Pretty big
Millenials are major part of the Obama Coalition
Also Bernie's supporters were disportionately White Male Millenials (Bernie Bros)
But according to this poll the majority of them now support the GOP
Rightwing Populist in Europe parties tend to have a lot of young supporters
I don't see why this couldn't also become the case in the US with the GOP becoming more Populist
Oh my god
I just saw this too.
@RoastedAdawg it won't matter, it's just one poll.
They'll get the voters back, if not they'll be replaced by immigrant voters
Voter Registration in WV
@🎃Boo-ton🎃 WV was always a democratic state because of coal miners and industrial workers
It's a Trump state, not a Republican state
It's changed recently of course, but that's the truth.
>Trump state, not a Republican state
One of the few places where this combination is true
@🎃Boo-ton🎃 same with Pennsylvania
Because OH is kinda a toss up
Haha, us thinking we can beat the Democrats
Why is the Republican Establishment not even weakened
It's like they've only grown stronger
McCarthy is in line ahead of Scalise for Speaker~
McConnell is still in charge of the Senate GOP and no one is fighting him
Anyone that does is eliminated
@🎃Boo-ton🎃 Joe Manchin is their only Democrat who's occupied a federal position in WV since 2014.
Notice a pattern?
Whenever the Republican leadership tries to block a candidate,
they win?
Isn't Blankenship a felon or something?
I think so
I looked it up
He was in charge of a mine that collapsed and killed 29 people
Seems like a pretty reasonable reason to block the guy
>Notice a pattern?
I notice that in 2014, its last Democrat Rep and first Democrat Senator got kicked out.
