***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

@Swamp Killer

"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

The Schwarzenegger Principle

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

so basically, I think we can say that

the minimum votes a GOP candidate will get, barring a major scandal, is the amount they got in 2014

the maximum votes a D candidate can get, if they squeeze everything out, is the amount of votes that Hillary got in their district in 2016

Well that's a nice thought

You know part of what I'm banking on is this summit
