The only actual question is the House, and with the dems fielding one of the worst candidates im decades I think that's in serious doubt.

Are you people for real? “the rumbling in my tumbly tells me that we’re gonna lose the House” They’d have to win in a landslide, a much much bigger victory than 2016. There’s a bulwark of seats where Dems ran up the score in 2018 that would need to be overcome so Trump simply winning wouldn’t do it.

Ok Comboomer posted:But people underestimate just how much these states rely on federal handouts to keep their illusion of intelligent conservative thrift afloat. These legislatures/governors love to rail against the feds and interference of liberals while slashing their own contributions to necessary services (education, etc), and then cashing in federal support to keep those services barely functional. It’s utter grift. Yes, but have you considered they'd just turn it all down out of spite and blame :spins wheel: people with less than ten guns? This literally happened, the ACA raised the cap on Medicaid eligibility to get people insured and extended money to states to do it, and red states turned it down and continue to turn it down, and the law's written so that you don't get insurance subsidy under the cap because they expected states to just take the money and get people on Medicaid. So there's a band of people in red states who are screwed out of health care, out of nothing but spite. Well, spite and the desire to create a government that does nothing so that nothing is expected of it. Glazius fucked around with this message at 12:09 on May 6, 2020 |

Fart Amplifier posted:The Senate is unlikely enough that you should expect a 6-3 or 5-3 GOP SCOTUS indefinitely after RBG dies. It's not "nothing matters" but rather just reality. The senate, assuming trump loses (which is an important assumption, both from the VP tiebreaker and setting a baseline), is currently about a tossup.

Republicans have won statewide in recent memory, the challenger has managed to outraise the incumbent, and there have been some partisan polls suggesting that it's a tight race. I think it's overblown, but I am figuring Michigan's history is why Peters' included here while Graham/South Carolina is considered a longer shot despite similar underlying dynamics.

Michigan is expected to run close in the presidential race. Also it’s the only other credible Republican pickup so they will try hard there. I don’t think anyone thinks he’s toast or more likely to lose than not but that his race is likely to be somewhat competitive.
