And by now the American public is allergic to to seeing the word Bush on a presidential ballot. The GOP is probably smart enough to see how badly the dynastic candidates are faring this cycle and will look for a fresh face to exploit that sentiment against Clinton.

In case you were holding out hope for some reason, it's basically impossible for the Democrats to hold the Senate.

Old Boot posted:It's a matter of how many people get off their asses to vote in the midterms. A lot of the people that I knew at places I used to work just flat-out didn't, for whatever dumbass reason. I said it before, but it's worth repeating: the number of people I know in this state who just opted out of voting because 'why bother' is way larger than it should be. Yep, seems that a similar thing happened in Illinois where out of 1.4 million registered voters in Chicago so far out of ~610,000 voters(90% of precincts counted) almost half the votes went to Rauner.

queertea posted:Is this just how Wisconsin is now? I always thought we had as much progressive cred as our neighbor Little Scandinavia to the west, but we've been royally loving it up pretty consistently now. Wisconsin's reputation as a liberal / progressive paradise is largely an urban legend at this point. Yeah, okay, there was Bob La Follette and we all slept in the Capitol for two weeks a few years ago, but outside of Dane County and chunks of Milwaukee and Fond du Lac counties, this is a very, very Republican state.
