republicans are holding the ohio governorship and looks like florida as well... those are still the 2 most determinative states in presidential races. florida was a complete nailbiter tho
Voters vote with their wallets... Ohio is demographically GOP but were enamored with Obama for some reason. Trump did better than Bush did both times, though. Rural will still be largely GOP in 2020, whereas the suburban whites who got new office jobs will be majority GOP. The Hillary vote will still be there for the Democratic candidate, but it won't be enough.
Florida will be a nailbiter in the Year 2100.

According to The Upshot, Democrats are likely to win the popular vote for the House by somewhere in the range of 6 to 10 points — which is right where polls had the generic ballot.

Earlier this year, Rick Scott ran an ad, led “Quien Es Bill Nelson,” suggesting that Nelson had failed to engage with the Hispanic community in Florida. And the exit polls in Florida seem to support that view. Nelson is now +11 among Hispanics, which trails Hillary Clinton’s margin with Latino voters in the state from 2016.

Florida is looking good for Republicans. The races for Senate and governor are very close, but the GOP leads in both. Republican Gov. Rick Scott leads Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson by 0.8 points, and Republican Ron DeSantis leads Democrat Andrew Gillum by 1.0 points. Both of those leads are outside the 0.5-point margin required for an automatic recount.

Democrats are doing VERY well in Iowa. In the 1st District, Abby Finkenauer is leading GOP Rep. Rod Blum 58 percent to 40 percent. In the 3rd District, Cindy Axne is leading Rep. David Young 55 percent to 42 percent. And … wait for it … in the 4th District, J.D. Scholten is leading Rep. Steve King 51 percent to 47 percent.
steve king might actually lose in iowa. i know cruz is a turd but king might be the most detestable person in congress tbh

ABC PROJECTS THAT DEMOCRATS WILL WIN THE HOUSE
Hopefully Rohrabacher goes down too
Gillum conceding
Another state that won't go for the Dem. presidential candidate in 2020, so these new Democrats are likely one-termers unless something drastic happens.
First time I've actually heard him speak. His accent is weird, like he's trying really hard not let a Southern/AAVE accent show through.
The house and senate are going almost exactly the way I expected them to but the governor races are pretty disappointing. The Florida loss is painful even though it was within like 1%.
No they don’t. You have a bunch of farmers in the midwest that are getting ed by Donald’s tariffs but contintinue to support them. Voters, republican voters in particular, vote with their emotions, fear being the most prominent.
the world will be a better place if king is ousted
This is why Fox News has the most watched election coverage.
yep. fox news, king of the MSM
This is why Fox News has the most watched election coverage.
Dems did way better with the economy than the previous two GOP presidents. If anything, Trump has managed (so far), not to screw it up. He's been a pretty ineffectual president, and is a weak candidate, IMO, the whole unhinged lying will come home to roost at some point.
His best chance is to declare a war before the election, get the country to line up behind him under the national pride mantra...
That said, never underestimate the Dems putting an even more terrible candidate out there... (ahem, Joe Biden).
Democrats are much more likely to vote with emotions.. omg they're not human!
The tariffs suck, but most of the farm produce is not exported out of the US... it's mostly taken state to state.
My primary concern this election is what we're going to do about the impending caravan?
- Do I care that they're "brown people?" No.
- Am I concerned that blood thirsty criminals are using the caravan as cover in order to enter this country and thus rape and pillage white neighborhoods? No.
- Do I care if they "steal" jobs (er jerbs) from Cletus? No.
- Do I care about them having anchor babies? No.
The most pressing issue with this caravan is that means there will be 14 thousand more soccer fans in the country.
Even Bill Clinton won the rust belt.. it's not an Obama thing. Shillary was a terrible candidate that kept pushing the globalist/outsourcing agenda, whereas Trump was bull ting his way through bringing manufacturing jobs back. Dennison played the right cards there (credit to him), but that gig is up, those jobs ain't coming back. We'll see what the reaction to that is. If today is any indication (and GOP voters generally mobilize more for the mid terms), it's not a good look.
It's time to ban divegrass imo. It's a hard line but it needs to be done.
Biden would be better than Harris or Warren or any other radical left female... but this is a silly post. Trump is not ineffectual and his policies and deregulation have skyrocketed the economy... maybe a bubble? But it won't pop until at least halfway through Trump's second term, like the late Bush era bubble, which of course will lead to a Democratic White House victory in 2024.
