@FLanon imagine,

you and me, the only two aides whispering into Trump's ears for policy

While Styx is a crypto-tranny civnat, he's certainly right on this. Concede nothing to the Left or as they said at the March For Our Lives rally, "We'll have their inch and take a mile."

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 Kushner.

I subscribed to the new /r/gundeals and had to unsubscribe because my home feed was so full of deals for guns I can't even buy that I couldn't see anything else

Yeah, Trump isn't going to fall for that.

@[Lex] would make sense considering the string of Kushner decisions on record

Also,

>this enthusiasm gap...

18% gap.

Over 60% difference.

@🎃Boo-ton🎃

No redrawing.

The effect of a rep retiring in a non-partisan district.

also the effect of term limits

more gop reps (by far) are in swing districts.

Because there clearly isn't a caravan of over 1k people coming to invade the flipping country

No data there

yes, the GOP drew their districts in a way that spread their votes out too thin

creating problems for elections that see low turnout

/r/ politicalhumor is fucking retarded

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah%27s_4th_congressional_district - Great example of where running the correct candidate, irrespective of their policy positions, will court them a majority in the county.

Dan Lipinski, likely the most conservative Democrat, runs in an extremely Democratic albeit white part of Chicago but is nonetheless consistently re-elected.

I really hate having that anchor baby in office.

I don't like her either but she flipped a Democratic hold and votes 95% of the time with Trump legislatively.

When they run the daughter of a black refugee family in a trendy Mormon city like Salt Lake City, you win.

The GOP desperately needs to mould the image of its candidates. Younger, attractive, modern campaigns who will nonetheless vote loyally conservative in Congress.

As opposed to Rick "The Dick" Saccone, a Texas-style Southern Baptist conservative in a Rust Belt opioid county.

Black/Hispanic GOP moderates in blue areas, hu-white populists in the Rust Belt, muh constitushon Republicans in the South.

Its history is a little complicated, but basically she just beat a blue dog.

Not a very big deal.

also I think that in regards to Republicans being in more swing districts, white voters are ultimately the only swing race

so if your base is the swing vote

you'll have a ton of swing districts

Now who I do think is a big deal is that James guy in Michigan

He'd be a good candidate even if he weren't black--but hopefully being black can get the attention of black voters.

@Nuke someone needs to make the poor boy a wikipedia page.

oh, he has one.
