Ah yes the Trump is fascist/Hitler angle. 

Tell me something Brisket, why don’t all these politicians and media that push that narrative balk at expanding military budgets, renewing NDAA, endlessly applaud any and all offensive actions, and chastise any efforts at peace?

Why hand more power to a budding fascist? 

Maybe they don’t really believe he is one. Maybe it’s just a good narrative to use to try to get themselves back into power. Maybe they’re just using fear to get votes as is always criticized (rightly) around here.  They’ve got some of y’all wound up well. 

If you can talk him off that ledge mo power to you. I tried to ply him with donuts to go rant at his local GOP gathering and he is too kind to do that to his friends. 

Maybe we should all pitch in and get him a pound of weed or something

    You said it in the only way that matters: you voted for it. 

  • I told my friends at work today to get ready for some excuse destroying reality.   We are no longer going to be able to excuse the behavior of voters in this election as 'being foolish', 'hoping Trump

    Fire protection. Police protection. Local road construction and maintenance. Interstate highway construction and maintenance. Airport operation, air traffic control, airline safety


See fascism playbook, page 2.

Every single play is 100% predictable.

Eliminate the free press. Control all possible checks on your power. Characterize your opponents as criminals. Sound familiar?
Don't forget: deport everyone you can

It doesn’t surprise me that his schtick is Internet-only. It’s not real. Just like all social media politics.

I honestly don’t know what to think of those numbers. Good or bad? I don’t see why Georgians would be excited about voting for a guy who points shotguns at teenagers, but then again I don’t live there.

Huh? Higher turnout always helps Dems. You think more black voters are coming out to vote for someone who is actively trying to suppress their vote?

No, I believe he thinks it every dram down. Seems like a few months ago he confessed that the woman got on his ass for being so. Friendo of the GOP and him can commiserate on the porch and he'll vent but it's not in him to disrupt the gathering. 

Around here it's guns a blazing. 

As we all should. I don't expect Phlegm to be the same IRL either. 

Steel sharpens steel. I expect no less than the most unfiltered Cassandra he has. The problem is when we carry on at the house the same way. 

Holy shit y'all.  Mike Levin in CA 49 is going as negative as I can remember in a local race.  Every day I get at least 1 mailer, sometimes 2, telling me what a fucking corrupt piece of shit Diane Harkey is (and she is, there's no doubt).   I find it a bit distasteful, to be honest.  Harkey's husband should be in prison, and Harkey has benefited tremendously from his thievery.  She should probably be in the slammer too, truth be told, but fuck, Levin is hitting a bit too hard IMO

Canada here.

I didn’t know Ted Cruz posted here.

I was focusing on the increased white turnout.

I think if you see vote totals fall very close to the actual racial demographics of this state then it would not be a good night for Republicans imo.

Sometimes you got to do it, you can’t play nice with them now, look at the president and say, yup we need to hit him back

this article makes me think the repubs are going to use hurricane Michael aftermath to cheat in Florida somehow. Rick Scott is so shady and a terrible candidate. He’s even gone against the will of the people in Florida several times. I’m baffled as to how the guy keeps winning elections over there.

I strongly suspect he's going to delay the state elections in order to separate himself from the Governor's race.

And would buy detrumpis more time to gain on Gillum whose led in every poll. 

If I had a choice, I’d want to win the governor race more than the senate seat. It’s such a pivotal swing state. Dems haven’t had a governor in Florida since 1999

They haven't had a Dem governor oversee redistricting since 1980!  Florida will likely pick up 2 seats in the 2020 census.  A Non-partisan or balanced gerrymander could produce at least 2-3 competitive seats.

Republicans are literally running on saving Medicare from the Democrats, while blaming the Democrats for preventing them from cutting Medicare.  How's that for cognitive dissonance?

Non partisan cook political report moves 2 house races towards the democrats today 

Ohio 12 - Troy Balderson is struggling to put away Danny o’connor. Race moved from lean R to toss up.

new York 11 - Democrat is doing better than expected, but still a tough race to win. Moves from likely R to lean R.

 

Hope to see a lot more races move towards the Dems over the next few weeks. The repubs really haven’t done anything to prove they deserve keeping their house majority. Cutting taxes for the rich shouldn’t get them more seats.

Money is good but it’s not everything. Ossoff raised $30M (and spent it all) to Karen Handel’s $7M in the Georgia 6th and lost, and Kemp’s opponent in the governor primary, a 12-year Lt Gov, out raised him by at least 2x and lost.

Don’t stop talking about healthcare!

This right here. Dems need to stay hyper focused on their healthcare message.

It's not the coke addled lard body but that he remains on the ticket. What exactly do they do if he wins? Prop him up like a Pornographic Jeremy Bentham?

Collins will still win. Guaranteed.  He could probably win that district while in prison even. Only being under indictment still gives him deniability. 

Yet, there is this.

 

Poor Republicans. They have it so hard.

Kyle Kondik has a pretty expansive "State of the Race" House column for Crystal Ball today.

TL;DR is they see D's picking up 17 seats at a minimum, with multiple potential avenues to get the additional 6 needed for a majority.

There is something deeply wrong with the basic humanity of pretty much anyone willing to run for office as a Republican today. Any remotely decent person doesn't want to have anything to do with what's required to run for office as a Republican, so they end up running these malevolent shits in every race. Yet the halfway-decent Republican voters still vote for them, because Team R.

Woman: I'm not sure I can find a job after I'm released, I'm addicted to drugs, there's a stigma that will follow me my whole life

Really wish he'd win and the Senate Dems would then force him to resign. I know it's Jersey so the entire place is a corrupt backwater shithole, but there's got to be someone better available.

Those with the zodiac killer as their senator shouldn't cast stones.  But, yeah, it's disgraceful that Menendez is on the ballot.

Menendez is terrible. Really wish he had been primaried into oblivion. Not that McCormick was the answer, but the Dems left her out to dry.  The fact that he is causing NJ to be in play when anti-Trump sentiment is at an all time high tells you all you need to know about Menendez.

The FANTASTIC future House freshman of 2018 from NJ are licking their chops: Jeff Van Drew, Andrew Kim, Tom Malinowski and Mikie Sherrill. All will be fantastic candidates in 2024.
