And you were wrong about Virginia again

2018-03-31 23:52:12 UTC  

Not 'dozens'

2018-03-31 23:52:18 UTC  

Just federal elections

2018-03-31 23:52:18 UTC  

no I wasn't

2018-03-31 23:52:23 UTC  

If that's what we're talking about

2018-03-31 23:52:26 UTC  

State races correlate too.

2018-03-31 23:52:28 UTC  

Aggregate the data of 15 different elections this year and compare it with the approval rating of that district.

2018-03-31 23:52:39 UTC  

Gillespie got 45% of the vote

2018-03-31 23:52:41 UTC  

We're talking federal elections here though.

2018-03-31 23:52:44 UTC  

Trump got the same percent

2018-03-31 23:52:48 UTC  

The fact is we need to improve our polling even if the polls aren't accurate.

2018-03-31 23:52:56 UTC  

^

2018-03-31 23:53:00 UTC  

Do numbers

2018-03-31 23:53:01 UTC  

Get it up!

2018-03-31 23:53:10 UTC  

Trump wins where he is popular

2018-03-31 23:53:14 UTC  

how is this not obvious

2018-03-31 23:53:14 UTC  

It's going to more accurate, you told me you can't use percentages

2018-03-31 23:53:16 UTC  

This'll help determine the extent of the correlation between Trump approval ratings and GOP performance.

2018-03-31 23:53:18 UTC  

That is obvious.

2018-03-31 23:53:24 UTC  

That wasn't your argument

2018-03-31 23:53:29 UTC  

what's my argument

2018-03-31 23:53:31 UTC  

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 the Lt. Governor won more because she was Trumpian

2018-03-31 23:53:39 UTC  

You brought this up like the GOP is going to lose every place Trump is in disapproval.

2018-03-31 23:53:42 UTC  

Anyways, everyone can disregard Alabama, simply because of the unique circumstances regarding that election

2018-03-31 23:53:46 UTC  

Which is factually incorrect

2018-03-31 23:53:54 UTC  

not _every_ race

2018-03-31 23:54:00 UTC  

Any other argument of "trump wins where he is popular" is common sense.

2018-03-31 23:54:05 UTC  

but Trump's approval will drag Republicans into the gutter

2018-03-31 23:54:08 UTC

2018-03-31 23:54:08 UTC  

How do you win where you're not popular.

2018-03-31 23:54:13 UTC  

Listen, if this matches up 75% of the time, then it's a trend.

2018-03-31 23:54:15 UTC  

also, Gillespie only got 66% of the Trump vote

2018-03-31 23:54:16 UTC  

Not true.

2018-03-31 23:54:21 UTC  

he campaigned with Dubya

2018-03-31 23:54:24 UTC  

rejected Trump

2018-03-31 23:54:27 UTC  

If they differentiate themselves from Trump they'll do better

2018-03-31 23:54:41 UTC  

that's not really possible

2018-03-31 23:54:46 UTC  

Trump is the face of the GOP

2018-03-31 23:54:49 UTC  

Oh yeah

2018-03-31 23:54:51 UTC  

"but Trump's approval will drag Republicans into the gutter"

he boosted Saccone

2018-03-31 23:54:55 UTC  

That's why the Gov of MA is the most popular
