    If tD wins and Ds control HoR, nothing passes thru the HoR
    if dPOTUS46 wins and GOP controls Senate, nothing passes thru the Senate.

    Sounds like we may be safe from adventurous legislation until 2024.

      I'm slowly trying to convert Kep back to his old self.

      But I agree about the House and Senate. Either one party rule or not much gets done. The good news for Dems is that they managed to avoid getting blown out when facing a horrific Senate map in 2018. Now they need to pick off the winnable races in CO, AZ and ME and find one other (IA or NC) to offset a probable AL loss.

          This is certainly true and easily forgotten.

          AL is gone unless R can find another pedo.

          CO should be a win. ME who knows? They seem to be moving towards Tundra West Virginia.

          AZ I would never want to depend on even though McSally is a joke. Jokes have won elections before ahem).

          IA, maybe; Ernst is a fool but see above. NC? Hard to see the good guys winning there. Their elections are overseen by Putin. Speaking of which, that jackwagon Perdue could be vulnerable as GA inches slowly towards civilization. Gonna happen someday.

          Booker could f-ck up NJ. I have no idea what pond scum is lurking in the Corruption Bullpen behind him, and the NJ GOP has pulled off dark money victories before.

                  How about going back to sanity?

                  The radical experimentation and social engineering of the last 40 years has been from the far right.

                              This, Beto 2.0 should be, "hey I'm actually running for the senate instead because I actually care about public duty as much as I say I do and I'm not just an empty suit narcissist who wants the glory of being president". Hickenlooper should do the same.

                                Regarding recruiting, yes it would be nice if Abrams had run in GA and Bullock in MT. However its a bit early to be declaring anything a recruiting miss at this point. In some cases Dems might benefit from having a candidate who's not a career politician tackling a few of these races. People find it hard to believe, but until Warren declared the Dems had nobody worthwhile to take out Scott Brown in Massachusetts because until recently the Dem bench was all lifelong career political hacks who were unelectable statewide. In fact the only Dem governor since 1990 (?!?) was an outsider with no ties to state politics (Deval Patrick).
