thing is that the amount of Rs running atm is the same as the amount of dems

2018-02-25 20:21:02 UTC  

hopefully they'll consolidate behind one candidate while the Dems continue the infighting

2018-02-25 20:21:18 UTC  

yeah, Erin Cruz and someone else

2018-02-25 20:22:37 UTC  

the same problem could cost them some house seats too,

2018-02-25 20:29:56 UTC  

The Democratic field in 2018 is going to be perhaps the largest in the party’s history. But that’s actually a problem. One can easily envision an ugly two-, three- or four-way free-for-all between Ds and end up putting two Rs on the ballot. The Hillary and Bernie wings never quite reconciled in 2016—to Trump’s benefit. This time the divide looks like it could be even worse.

@everyone Does anyone here think 2018 will have much higher turnout than any other midterm year ?

2018-02-26 17:04:58 UTC  

Maybe.

2018-02-26 17:05:07 UTC  

To me it's a toss up.

2018-02-26 17:05:21 UTC  

We just need to start going hard against Commie-crats.

2018-02-26 17:09:58 UTC  

Paul Ryan's Super PAC has the congressional ballot lead D+5, significantly lower than what the public polling has it.

2018-02-26 17:39:25 UTC  

It would be interesting to see how that is D+5 is spread out. If half of that is in California we will be good.

2018-02-26 18:57:25 UTC  

@Den One thing that can happen is higher leftist turnout but mostly confined to areas that are already blue, which can lead to them still losing seats in the House, though the Senate is different

2018-02-26 22:22:14 UTC  

2014 midterms

2018-02-26 22:23:33 UTC  

this means we can be anywhere from D+3 to D+0 in the generic ballot if we expect to win the popular vote

2018-02-26 22:23:55 UTC  

this also shows that polling won't matter until October

2018-02-26 22:37:29 UTC  

The beginning on the graph all the way to the left looks similar to what we've seen recently, doesn't it?

2018-02-26 22:42:11 UTC  

exactly

2018-02-26 22:42:17 UTC  

October is what counts

2018-02-26 23:04:05 UTC  

HRC won this district by a 71 point margin

2018-02-26 23:04:08 UTC  

forget it

2018-02-26 23:05:19 UTC  

her district is within Compton,

2018-02-26 23:05:30 UTC  

the blackest area in California

2018-02-26 23:05:45 UTC  

Black voters are the bedrock of Democrat loyalty

2018-02-26 23:05:54 UTC  

especially Californian Blacks

2018-02-26 23:07:25 UTC  

I can't imagine it having very high turnout. Maybe since she is such an usual candidate she can swing enough people. There has to be a reason she is trying. She has been in politics long enough to know the media is going to try to destroy her badly. Black, Woman and Republican.

2018-02-26 23:07:40 UTC  

I can't imagine the blood lust it's going to trigger with the Jews

2018-02-26 23:07:50 UTC  

she's running because Romney is running

2018-02-26 23:08:27 UTC  

Does she have a thing for him or something?

2018-02-26 23:08:34 UTC  

I know she endorsed him

2018-02-26 23:15:20 UTC  

hmm

2018-02-26 23:16:32 UTC  

Karen's mother, I bet

2018-02-26 23:33:50 UTC  

who the fuck is Karen

2018-02-26 23:39:28 UTC  

Karen is the idea of a generic white soccermom from North Virginia

2018-02-26 23:43:36 UTC  

right

2018-02-26 23:43:54 UTC  

"These people want to turn our country into a brown third world shithole, but Trump says mean things on Twitter so I'll vote Democrat."

2018-02-26 23:44:10 UTC  

unfortunately, that's how a lot of White women in America think

2018-02-26 23:44:34 UTC  

Country club Republicans.

2018-02-26 23:46:17 UTC  

they vote Republican because they want the federal government to stay out of their lives so they can raise their children the way they want without interference
