So it looks like Arizona and Florida Senate are still too close to call? If recounts happen and those hold or win, math changes there for the Senate in 2020 significantly right?

XyrlocShammypants posted:Tester has won, he is in the lead and can’t lose it based on remaining votes! How does Tester keep winning his Senate seat in loving Montana? What pact with Satan has that guy made? Is Montana more blue than I thought? I read somewhere they trend more towards liberterian than outright conservative. The hot take that Trumpism is stronger even though multiple states and rejected it and the House is dem is really loving stupid.

So my takeaways on all of this for 2020: The Good: the general public as a majority continues to hate Trump and reject him The Plains States: I think the Democrats have made some great headway into traditionally GOP strongholds in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Iowa. People there have been turbofucked by the GOP and are looking for relief. I think an actual candidate that runs on workers and farmers rights populism and reforms can win there now. The Great Blue Lakes: the Midwest (and Pennsylvania) turning blue again is a huge boon, and stymie Trump's chances at taking an electoral college win. Trump's approval rating in the northern Midwest is abysmal. Texas isn't red; it's turning purple O'Rourke proved there is a democratic base in Texas, and several democrat victories down ballot should give the party fuel. Texas is changing demographically, which I believe overall is good for us. The Bad: The Evangelical South is too strong a wall for Trump. Dixieland (with the possible exception of the Carolinas, which look vulnerable) is going to be his base. Missouri becoming more red is sad, but honestly not surprising. The Worst of the Rustbelt: I don't really know what to say about Indiana. Donnelly being a complete loving moron and abandoning his own party was suicide, but the state seems to trend more towards the south than the Midwest. I could see something changing there, but it's going to take a lot. Ohio is still up for grabs; yes the elected a Republican government, but Brown won handedly. I think Ohio is some wierd mediocre centrist land, but it definitely is not red. The Ugly: Florida is NOT a swing state; stop campaigning like it is: I don't know how else to put this. Due to changing demographics of old infestations, the coalition of religous nuts, snowbirds, and gun freaks has locked the state in with the rest of the Deep South, and I only see it getting worse as old racist boomer flight to it continues to happen. I'm not saying stop campaigning in Florida or trying, but stop seeing it as a lynchpin. I do believe the re-enfranchisement will help, but I can't see how much, and Florida continues to become an increasingly chuddier state.

So the GOP traded 2 Senate seats for the entire House? And McConnell is trying to spin that as a victory? Quite the victory there Mitch!  Isn't Nelson going to a recount? Lol if Nelson wins and the GOP picked up a single seat.

Z. Autobahn posted:Can someone smarter than me explain what the value is in Abrams or Nelson calling for a recount? It looks like the average amount of votes to change in a recount is 250, which is wildly less than their margins. Is the hope just to discover some kind of widespread fraud? I think it's more that Kemp purposely sabotaged the vote by physically holding back voting machines and shutting down precincts on a whim. The man is guilty as gently caress. Out of Florida I heard that a precinct was put right in the middle of a gated retirement community, and security would not let people in to vote. Serious fuckery going on.

Calaveron posted:Yeah 75+ year old people are basically horses when it comes to injuries My grandmother was that age and had a massive stroke. First day doctors told us she may never wake up from a coma, and they showed us a CT scan where it looked like some severe damage to areas of the brain. Two days later my grandmother was awake and talking as usual, and the doctors told us flat out that "yeah that brain damage, we don't actually know what happened but it is gone, she is going to be fine  "She lived for 9 years after that. To this day I am convinced my grandmother had a mutant healing factor. God rest her soul, she was a tough old lady  Old people are remarkably resilient to injury sometimes.

At this point is just disregarding any "Breaking" news unless its factual and not just "sources say". Ftfy There is no plan. Trump is clearly unhinged and lashing out even more like a moron now, and no one can stop him. Then they have to do these absolutely pathetic attempts at damage control and deflection. This is pure chaos.

Then he fired several more people. Then he tried to stop Mueller several times from doing the investigation. No obstruction case on Trump?

axeil posted:Yeah I think in Florida with Gillum/Nelson basically getting the exact same vote share the message we should go with is "policy preference doesn't really matter in FL". I'm not sure if that's because everyone in FL is old, the GOP voters there are all CHUDs, Dems just vote Dem regardless of policy, Indies have no clue what they're doing or what. Since I like M4A and other leftist positions those are what I want to see next time in Florida, but a centrist can look at the same data and argue for centrist positions and we both will be right because policy appears not to matter in FL. Even more hot take: Kansas, and possibly Iowa, AND Oklahoma. The Plains are beginning to rise up against their chud overlords, because they got turbofucked by them.
