'18 Midterms: Dems win House by largest midterm raw vote margin ever

[FAH1223]

2018 Senate Election Interactive Map

This is where I see it as of now

So you got the Dems winning the AZ seat, beating Heller in NV, and winning the TN seat. But McCaskill, Heitkamp, Nelson and Donnely are losing. So, Dems end up right where they were on election night 2016... with 48 seats.

I think they will win NV and AZ. My gut says they lose Indiana but somehow keep Missouri, North Dakota, Florida

Yeah, I tried to be conservative in my predictions. They have a shot at 51, but its a hard climb.

I think Sinema & Rosen should be considered favorites right now. Bredesen was a good get for Dems in TN. I think he can knock off Blackburn and he still has some name recognition from his time as Governor.

Indiana is most likely gone. The other 3 were toss ups for me, either way I wouldn't argue.

Nah.

You're overestimating American voters. You have to keep in mind that Trump's approval with Republicans is still 90% regardless of this shyt and will probably never budge. His electorate would take a Russian stooge over a Democrat.

That's how terrible the Democrats are.

They are pretty bad, but not every problem in the world is because of the Democrats. At some point you have to put the blame on voters themselves for being stupid/racist.

Blaming voters isn't the right tact. Those are the people you have to convince to vote for you. So being on some name calling blaming shyt isn't going to bear the future results you are hoping for.
And really Trump is the result of a two party system that looks out for politicians and lobbyist over the citizens.
The Republicans would rather Trump over a Democrat, and the Democrats would rather a Republican over a progressive. lol

Well I wouldn't exactly advocate name-calling, but that's not the issue. The Dems biggest problem is that they always try to move right to appeal to those voters and it never works. They would do better to rally their base instead of trying to appeal to people that will never vote for them anyway. Trying to convince Trump voters is an exercise in futility and just demotivates the base.

That said, Trump got elected due to a rising tide of white nationalism/authoritarianism and you can't really blame Democrats for that. It's a worldwide trend; same shyt you saw with Brexit.

But like you said if Dems rallied their base they probably would have won. Instead they blatantly told them to fukk off.
"For every blue collar vote we lose in Western PA we will pick up two to three moderate Republican votes in the suburbs of Philadelphia."

Obama was at least smart enough to talk progressively even tho he governed moderately.

My concern isn't about California specifically, it's that all this infighting will cause people to stay home on election day if their person doesn't win the primary.

We don't need some Bernie-or-bust BS again.

BERNIE OR BUST DOES NOT EXIST

They are the #neverTrumpers of 2016

why do we have to keep repeating this shyt

Outside of 2004 we've won the popular vote in every presidential election since 1992. We average 6million more votes per year.
