Quorum posted:this is not and has never been how primaries worked, if you like someone then vote for them, the DNC literally does not get to decide this stuff, and in fact has very little power over anything at all besides occasionally fundraising. Blame people you like losing on not enough people liking them, no more.

Though in all seriousness the sooner they get the Orange One out of the White House the better. I mean to make people long for the days when the stupid poo poo the president did was forget to take off the protective caps of binoculars or mispronounce nuclear is really saying something.

Trump will survive his four year term but will lose in 2020 to [Slightly Left but still Centrist Democrat] The House will flip in 2018 but the Dems will gain in the Senate but will still fall short. Not having the votes to remove Trump from office the Dems in the House will spend the last two years of Trump's term holding special hearings to investigate Trump and his staff. McCain will be troubled. The pee tapes will never be revealed.

To those of your hating on Pelosi: The GOP is going to demonize anyone who is the leader of the party. It's Pelosi's turn because Hillary and Obummer aren't around anymore. Dumping Pelosi wouldn't have done poo poo because they'd just be calling the next person a dirty commie. But really, lol at running a guy who didn't live in his district.

The loss here was purely due to gerrymandering, which we have two separate chances to kill: SCOTUS and the 2020 state level legislative election. As they happen to coincide with a year which, even if Trump somehow survived and is re elected, will not be terribly kind to his party's control of legislative bodies, that's a good thing.

Like I think the SC race not getting any made sense on the face of it going in with what you knew at the time. I just think that the amount that went in to GA-06 basically got Republican voters who'd have stayed home normally out and there are more of them in that district that Democratic voters by a decent margin.

This is too optimistic, based upon the Bush II -> Trump projected trajectory. Petr posted:Democrats have lost more than 1000 legislative seats since 2008. That's not just gerrymandering. I'm afraid you're going to have to cite that, considering the elections since 2008 were a wave year (2010) that defined the redistricting that every other election has used, and since then Dems have won more or less every other generic ballot.

"We can get suburban Republicans to flip and just run on being Not-Trumpists" is exactly the strategy that caused Hillary to blow the easiest shoe-in humanly loving imaginable, so it's no real shocker that it worked so well for Ossoff here.

Expecting the Senate in 2018 is an exercise in futility the likes of which will keep this thread going for ages.

dont even fink about it posted:The House will not flip if the Democrats run John Ossoffs everywhere. A statement as obvious as the opposite. The Republicans have Flakes and Cruzes, but all are reliable on key votes. This is the only way forward for us also, even if makes governing harder than it ought to be (since it renders governing possible at all).
