I've been getting ten thousand million ads on YouTube for the Illinois 6th race, and well, let's see how it looks:



this is a district that swung +15 for Hillary if I recall correctly, but the author notes that the Republican is the incumbent

the dems think they're going to blue wave it so hard they didn't even bother to contest a bunch of seats lamo

hillary really was the perfect avatar for this party

the Illinois 14th, where my folks, live, is looking a bit different

while it projects in favor of Hultgren, the guy is quite unpopular and Underwood looks like she has a decent shot of taking the seat

the dems are loving up hilariously on nearly all of the districts where hillary won by 10+ points. for some hearty lols check out the polls in florida 26 and 27, and california 21

Nevada is like the one state that democrats should have had a lock on picking up in the senate but of course they're gonna blow it.

Get ready for a 55-45 senate folks.

no. in fact for spousal abuse it is the opposite, his ex-wife was abusive, physically, to Keith.

however the baseless accusations from his crazy-ex girlfriend have neither been substantiated nor dropped (they never will be because that wasn’t her purpose in bringing them up in the first place).

you can and should vote for Keith with a clear conscience.

Neat, I saw Ellison and Sanders when they came to MN and I've always liked him, but I couldn't in good conscience vote for him if he was actually beating his wife/girlfriend

Where it stands right now is that the DFL did an "independent" investigation into the allegations. It was conducted by a respected large local law firm, but the investigation was headed by the partner of the DFL's head lawyer, which isn't a good look.

That said, during the investigation, the accuser refused to show the investigators the video of the incident that she has repeatedly claimed to have, and offered shifting reasons why she could not or would not show it. The investigator turned all the info over to the local sherrif's office, which does not appear to be investigating further.

Ellison denied the allegations and called for a House ethics investigation, which has been roundly ignored by Devin Nunes, the committee chair. She has declined so far to release the video or show it to anyone else. She also recently changed her lawyer to a Twin Cities GOP activist/fundraiser most recently known for being big into pizzagate.

I'm holding off until election day to vote because I'm one of those idiots that likes voting on election day, and I'm voting for him absent the actual video being released or something similarly damning.

I belong to the hardcore nothing matters camp except for one thing that does matter: peoples money.

The collapse would probably be seen as a deep state orchestration by the Brietbart crowd and the fault of Dems by Fox News, but I think if we take into account how W. Bush approval fell by time he left one would think just enough of these morons would turn on Trump. All just IMHO.

beto o'rourke seems like he'd be fairly decent as a senator and all ted cruz has on him in his attack ads is "he was in a rock band!" and "he cusses!" but considering this is texas and people there are dumber than anywhere else in america, they probably won't care and re-elect the living ventriloquist dummy

i'll give these dem candidates credit, not even the lamest of them seem to be running on russia and tax returns

my rep in congress, jerrold nadler, stands to be the chair of the house committee charged with starting any potential impeachment proceedings. he seems like he's not interested in doing so at the moment. i kind of understand, but if things get worse, he'd better get off his rear end

Yeah people saying that an economic crisis and recession wouldn't hurt Trump are pretty silly. The status quo is always held against the President, and aside for his most blind partisans the blame would fall on Trump.

He also talks a lot about the economy, and takes credit for how good it is, and all his crap with trade deals ties him to the economy closely in the public mind.

If it crashes on his watch, he'll definitely try to blame Democrats, but on a visceral level that won't be persuasive to anyone not all in on Trump.
