“...The left will riot and dismember the country state by state if Trump gets 4 picks....”

Let em bring it on. I’m just an average freedom-loving, law-abiding American that wants to be left alone and to live my days in peace while seeing my kids & grandkids grow up in peace and freedom. The Left is threatening our way of life and the rule of law every single day. It’s now reached a point where anybody with an IQ of 10 can see that there is no co-exisitng with these azzholes. And like many Americans, I’m totally fricken’ sick to death of these insane commie POSs trying to destroy our country, our flag and our very way of life.
Let em bring it on. They have NO IDEA what will come to them. These communist bassturds are pushing ...and they got a holy hell walloping coming to em. Their scalps will adorn many a war spear before it’s over. THAT is what the Left is gonna bring to America if something isn’t lawfully done with them soon. People are sick to death of their pure, utter, lying BS. Bring it.

"Ever since winning his primary, Democrat Joe Manchin has been turning leftward."

Uncle Joe's Senate seat appears to be relatively safe at this point in the election cycle. Despite WV being Trump country, Manchin's opponent Morrissey is considered an outsider(from New Jersey) and appears to be a weak campaigner. Manchin may be playing the odds that the Democrats take control of the Senate and might be rewarded with a committee chairmanship for being loyal to Schumer.

Voters lie when responding to polls, even if it is a robocall poll. This year, as they did in 2016, they will lie about their support of Trump and for Republican candidates. It’s not socially acceptable, and they will tell the same lies that they use at cocktail parties and cook-outs. Their behavior at the voting booth will be different and the Democrats are going to be disappointed about the results.

RBG looks like she’s auditioning for...the Cyrptkeeper’s wife when HBO relaunches Tales From the Crypt.

Or the Cryptkeeper himself.

What if a democrat actually gave a candidate a fair shake and voted for them or against them based on something other than electoral politics?

I know, I know. Never gonna happen.

If I were President Trump, I’d be passing the word quietly to dem senators in red states that if they don’t want to be severely ‘testored’, they better give his nominee to the Supreme Court a favorable vote before October 1.

I can envision a whole lot of Great Falls, MT types of campaign appearances between the vote and election day if the nominee goes down because of purely partisan politics....And not just in red and purple states.

> Yep Schumer screwed up badly in retrospect, by doing the filibuster fight over the Gorsuch nomination.

It wasn’t even retrospect -— a ton of editorials were screaming at him about this exact scenario. Kind of like how Reid was told point-blank he would regret removing the filibuster for cabinet posts.

10 SENATE DEMS up for re-election in NOV in states Trump won...

Needing help
OH (Trump won by 8): Sherrod Brown, seeking his 3rd term in Ohio (GOP candidate is Jim Renacci, current polling at 51-38 for Brown)
WI (Trump won by 0.8%): Tammy Baldwin (AUG 14 Primary, Vukmir likely GOP candidate but polls behind 49-40)
PA (Trump won by 0.7%): Bob Casey (Lou Barletta is considered a weak challenger, 47-32 is current poll)
MICH (Trump won by 0.2%): Debbie Stabenow, 40 yrs in MI politics (AUG 7 Primary, Stabenow polling 51-30 over both likely opponents)

Danger for DEMS
FL (Trump won by 1): Bill Nelson-D (AUG 24 Primary, current polling has Nelson behind Rick Scott 46-41)
IN (Trump by 19): Joe Donnelly-D already polling behind 48-47 to Mike Braun

MO (Trump by 18): Claire McCaskill-D up, but only 48-44 over Josh Hawley
MT (Trump by 21): Jon Tester-D up 52-44 over Matt Rosendale in May, but Trump visited recently
ND (Trump by 36): Heidi Heitkamp-D down 48-44 to Kevin Kramer-R
WV (Trump by 42): Joe Manchin-D was polling behind Patrick Morrissey (44-46 on MAY 10), but now up 50-43 (JUN 19)

That's a +3, with 3 more in the air, but...

There's 4 current GOP seats in danger:
NEV (Trump lost by 2): Jacky Rosen-D up 45-41 early over incumbent Dean Heller-R
ARIZ (Trump won by 4): AUG 28 Primary to replace Jeff Flake (RINO)... Krysten Sinema-D polling ahead of Martha McSally-R early, 39-32, with 20+% undecided.
TENN (Trump won by 26): Corker (RINO) retiring, Primary AUG 2, Phil Bredesen-D polled over Marsha Blackburn-R, 46-43 on MAY 1.
MISS (Trump won by 18): Special Election Jungle Primary to replace retired Thad Cochran... leader is current appointee Cindy Hyde-Smith-R over Mike Espy-D and Chris McDaniel-R, 30-22-17. There is a likely runoff if nobody gets 50%. She is polling ahead of Espy 46-34, head to head.

So it's about a +2 in the Senate at the moment. (Currently 51-47-2)

The other 20 races are pretty much already decided. 13 DEM (WA, CA MINNx2, VA, CT, RI, MASS, NJ, NY, MD, DEL, HI) and 5 GOP (MISS, TX, UT, NEB, WY) and 2 IND (Maine and VT)

Yes I can see it would be terrible for these hollow subhumans to have to choose between their party and their country.
