he's still a few hundred votes off, but still
ah well, I'll see the rest of the results tomorrow
catch you guys later
yep
many votes still to count
a ton, in fact
most districts still below 50 percent reporting
who won in cali?
Which district? @Deleted User 33b75db0
In terms of governor and senator
***Blue wave*** TOP FUCKING LMAO
What a leftist joke
@FLanon well, as of 100% in this morning for District 26, Sabato is now in 2nd place
what do you like about him
Oh great
I think he's gonna be good for fundraising and that sort of thing

"Wont the dems also try to mobolize more people after they saw how bad they did in the primary"
the thing is, I don't think the Democrats will perform much higher than they did today
It's the principle: If you're a Republican in California, your best shot to win is to be a celebrity.
@FLanon What is your overall impression of the results of June 5 ? I'm starting to lean even further toward the idea that there will be no blue wave
at worst, we'll have a thinned House majority and a slightly larger senate majority
It was a good day, shame that CA-08 was the only lockout, but the numbers were good enough for us that I think we can hold and maybe expand in CA
but if you get a little more optimistic, ...just a little bit, I think we can get a slightly thicker House majority than what we have now, and a 60+ Senate majority
yeah, the thing is, I don't think it matters much that we didn't have many lockouts
for instance, what do you think of Dana Rohrabacher's chances of winning this November
Yeah but they would've been so butthurt
Well lemme just add up the R and the D votes
many of them are stil butthurt regardless when you look at the screenshots @GermanEastAfrica posted
of course
my reasoning is -- Dana Rohrabacher survived 2008 and 2012, which were solidly blue years
and if you compare GOP primary votes from 2014 to 2018, you'll see a general increase nationwide
Yeah but you have to look at it this way: the demos aren't getting any better in California
which means that GOP voters shouldn't be staying home for November like they have for all these special elections
I think what we can do is give GOP candidates a floor/minimum of the votes they got in 2014
for instance, Rohrabacher got 112,082 votes in 2014
I think he'll get at least that amount
Overall Republicans in CA-48 (Rohrabacher's district) got more than 50% of the vote
So that should bode a bit well
the Democrats, however, got 127,715 votes in 2016 in that district (Rohrabacher got 178,000)
now, if the Democrats squeeze a high amount of their 127,715 and Rohrabacher doesn't improve much, they could win, but I think Democratic enthusiasm won't be that high
they were able to make it high for Roy Moore, but that's about it, and it's partly due to R's crossvoting
