what J said


Democrats should focus time, $ and energy on the flippable seats


We all hate Mitch but he is going to cruise to reelection

Trust me Mitch ain’t shaking

also that same poll (from may 21-24) had trump with a +17 for Trump

So pretty sure only KY that Dems will have is Jelly
Beshear did win the Gov as a dem....with a razor-thin margin on an off-year


Just learned that McGrath doesn't even have a lock on the dem nomination for that seat
as Booker just got an endorsement from Sanders, AOC and others

I just heard if the Senate flips, Bernie would be the head of the Budget Committee....interesting

The budget committee is pretty useless, except for reconciliation instructions.

Correct - McGrath is far from a lock.

although now Jon Ossof is a lock by breaking the 50% threshold in Tuesday's Democratic Senate primary in Georgia

you can add "self-owning" to the list of the GOP's problems:

The GOP’s decision to keep its 2016 platform is, well, a little awkward for Trump

[hutch]

^wishful thinking


It doesn’t matter a whit

[sweetcell]

absolutely, it will have little to no material impact.

however, it makes them look stupid(er) and will be great fodder for late-night hosts.

ahh June 2016 when Hil had a double lead in polling
Hillary Clinton Holds Double-Digit Lead Over Donald Trump, Poll Finds

Let's not get complacent people

[hutch]

Stupid

[Dejecty-hatch lııllı|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|̲̅̅=̲̅̅|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|llıl]

Stupid

I know you are but what am I

Obviously everyone should do their part to make sure Biden wins as resounding a victory as possible.

[Dejecty-hatch lııllı|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|̲̅̅=̲̅̅|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|llıl]

well my point was in June 2016, everyone was citing polls that Hill was crushing
Just this week saw a number of pollsters talking the same way

I think people are motivated and energized to vote I just hope it stays that way

I really think there needs to be some movement in the states to get Vote By Mail stuff passed ASAP
You don't need the federal Gov't...it's a states thing

as the GOP will take it to court, so you need a little time to play that game

[Dejecty-hatch lııllı|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|̲̅̅=̲̅̅|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|llıl]

20 more weeks of this...141 days to nov 3rd
I really hope we take the senate too

[sweetcell]
