Wow. Right now you think Sinema will win??
Just put some ice on it.
That's absolutely appalling to me, if that happens. What the hell is going on in AZ where a great candidate (yes, I know... moderate Republican) like McSally can't beat a kook like Sinema?? I just don't get it.
All well and good, but we are being held Hostage by two Red State Republicans, Flake and Murkowski.
Collins is in Blue Maine. Well, mostly blue anyway. We can only afford to lose one of those three, and I am pretty sure that flakey Flake is already a NO Vote.
No, never fear, McSally is beating Hollyweird Cinema, it is her House seat that is leaning left.
Oh, OK. I get it now. *Apologies* to you, and to LS (post 41 above). I misunderstood! Thank you, Lakeside Granny. :-)
So it's AZ-2 that is probably gone to the democRAT candidate.
I think I need to cut back on the caffeine... Can't wait 'til the mid-terms are over!
Yes, sadly most of Maine is Blue, although there *are* several pockets of red here and there (as there are in states like NH, NY and MA).
What about Murkowski though? As far as I know, Alaska is a pretty solid RED state.
snowFLAKE... Eff him! Good riddance...
Somebody whose state gives us Schumer and Gillebrand criticizes Arizona? Are you nuts?
No worries, think we all are frazzled and living on nerves.
Not that that lets the People's Republic of New York off the hook by any stretch. This state is a walk advertisement for the brilliance of the Framers in having the Electoral College. Were we to have similar here, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in where Gillibrand and our sfacchimm of a governor, Cuomo, are going to be easily re-elected because of New York City and its surrounding area.
I went down memory lane and found this article. Liberal tears are so sweet.
To Reclaim the House, Democrats Need to Flip 24 G.O.P. Seats. 25 Are in Clinton Territory.

I get the same perception. Spinning as he goes is Alex.
When the prosecutions of the lawyers and perjured accusers are over and the dust settles those Dems that weathered the storm will be less willing to lie and suborn perjury. The next confirmation may go a lot smoother. POTUS understands play to win. Heads are going to roll.
Tester is a committed libtard who voted against Gorsuch. No chance he was ever gonna vote for Kav even before this. The only 4 who might, Donnelly (says no now), Heidi; Manchin, and the bastard in Alabama (who said he’d vote no 5 days ago and has been ducking constituents in fear ever since)
In House calculations don’t forget to take into account us taking back Lambchop’s seat, which is certain (though he may beat Rolfthus in that new courtmandered seat)
I think Enema’s seat is a lost cause, D leaning and a strong rat candidate in the former Mayor of Phoenix.
Laz,
Thanks for clarifying what Larry meant about moving IN. Was puzzled.
Totally agree. If you’re having trouble getting rid of a couch pest, play speeches by Hillary all day long on tv.
Voila,
IN is OUT
I think Enema’s seat is closer than Lamb’s.
Enema’s seat actually has more registered Rs, but it’s the indies that hurt there because it stretches from southern Scottsdale into Tempe and ASU. However, this is a midterm, and students don’t turnout for a midterm, let alone a House seat, like they do for a president.
I think if we keep the ASU precincts to >25% turnout, we have a real shot.
No, Jones will not vote for K. I heard last night however from a source I think you would trust that Yertle had a heated come to Jesus meeting with the Three Cuckateers, and basically said their careers in and out of politics were finished if they didn’t vote for K, and that he personally would make sure Collins lost her governor’s race and that MurCowSki would never get past a primary again. He reportedly told Flakey he’d make sure that he never got a lobbying or any other kind of job.
Yertle looks squishy, but the turtle can play serious hardball when he needs to. He held up Garland and 60 DemoKKKrat judges for a full year.
Right now, my scoreboard has them with between 10-14 likely flips net. Remember we’ll flip two D-R seats in MN. Now we hae a third in AZ possible. I think 1-2 are possible in CA, especially Sabato, Jr., whose predecessor only lost by 6,000 and who has been working this district for two years.
Trump is good for 5 points. This isn’t my opinion. Both Richard Baris and yesterday Larry Sabato said exactly the same thing. Now, this “aura” fades after a week, so wherever Trump goes in the last week is where it’s close.
I think if he’s in NV, Heller and NV4 will be gains. Doubt he’ll go to CA because it would ignite the D crazies.
Just think of all the ways that the Dems have painted themselves into a corner right now... and then marvel at how anyone still supports them. It is really a testament to the power of televised propaganda and social media manipulation.
They face a nightmare if the economy improves, if healthcare improves, if international relations improve, if we are successful against ISIS, if we find a diplomatic victory over Iran or North Korea or Russia or China, if consumer confidence increases, if housing start are up, if the environment doesn't have a calamity, if global temperatures do not rise, if ocean levels do not rise...
In short, if anything good happens, or anything bad does not happen... they are at risk. They have to hope for bad days for America and the world so that they can climb back into power... and yet, somehow, they find half of the nation fervently behind them, hoping for the same things.
Thankfully, most of those good things ARE happening, and the bad mostly are not. Pray that it continues and more people begin to see what the Left openly hopes for.
Thanks Larry.
