Tilt is the fourth shade. It's new.
Pence will also be in Toledo for Renacci.
There have been 10 year old mayors before
And yeah, there are states without an age limit
IIRC New York has one though: 30 for governor
In Ohio you have to be 18 to be governor.
**Vote him out**
Vermont has an open primary, so that could very easily nominate him
See here's the conflict.
Democrats love Scott for bringing gun control to VT.
And working with them.
But they're conflicted on whether to vote for the first Transgender Gov candidate, or him.
So this election is unpredictable.
hopefully they vote more in the Democratic Primary which leads to Keith Stern primarying him out
Some stats in the case of Wisconsin - in 2014, the GOP had 240k votes in total in the primaries. In 2018, it had well over 450k.
In 2014, the Democrats had 310k votes in total in the primaries. in 2018, it had well over 530k.
The ratio of D-R in primary votes greatly favours the Republican compared with 2014.
Remember also, Scott Walker had 70k less primary votes in 2014 but tidily won the election with 52.3% to 46.6%.
I'd give Wisconsin a tilt/lean GOP in terms of its governorship.
@[Lex] but democrats are more energized now and will get better turnout for being the party out of power.
Democrats need the independent white vote to win this.
the same pattern keeps holding
Democrats are massively improving from their 2014 numbers, but Republicans are moderately improving
keep in mind that 2014 was a Republican favored year though
The fact that Walker faced a primary challenge will likely hurt his support.
Remember that without the help of #NeverTrumpers who voted for Cruz in the Wisconsin primary, Trump had to rely on Sanders supporters to win Wisconsin in the general.
I don't think Scott Walker can depend on this.
remember that Romney had a higher vote total in Wisconsin than Trump
partly due to suburban voters shifting towards Hillary
Scott Walker has incumbency advantage though
btw, we gotta update the Wordpress for a bunch of states
I haven't changed things in almost two months
we need to do writeups on all the senate and gubernatorial races that have already had their primaries
@Deleted User mostly due to the fact democrats stayed home in Wisconsin.
I think Trump carrying that state was a fluke, it won't happen again if democrats are prepared.
We won that state on their laziness, not because Trump inspired more people to vote for him.
next 2020 Democratic Candidate could also have shit appeal for Wisconsin, like Hillary
they weren't 'lazy' in 2016 for Hillary, they just didn't like her
on the other hand, when it comes to Pennsylvania and Michigan, you do see the "Trump inspiring more people to vote for him" narrative exist
same thing applies to Florida, Ohio, Iowa
all states Romney lost in 2012
Trump didn't even campaign in Wisconsin as much as some others
@Deleted User yeah but those people he appealed to are abandoning him now, Trump approval among whites in all the rust belt states is below 50%.
@zakattack04 that ain't true
