116th Congress: Episode 2 The Turtle Has Total Control

Re: 116th Congress: Episode 2 The Turtle Has Total Control

We grunts need to jump into trench warfare like we relish the fight.

Exactly. World needs ditch diggers too. Volunteer and go door-to-door. The best canvasser isn't some out of state bright eyed kid, it's a neighbor who has gone through the same sh-t and looks like the voter.

Liberal middle aged white males in purple states are the new market inefficiency. Right now they are the most valuable natural resource this country has. But only if they convert that potential to actuality. You Midwestern liberals need to talk with your neighbors the way they need to be talked with. You need to prove we aren't the crazy terrorists or naive idealists that Hate Radio screams we are. We're just like them. "I think of it this way..."

You are the ones who will convince by example and analogy and by identifying with the voter, not by hectoring or patronizing. Stephen Colbert is great for preaching to the converted, but his barbs just drive Mr. and Mrs. Wisconsin away. But white bread liberals who go to the same church -- more precious than rubies!

Hickenlooper jumps into Colorado Senate race

Now someone get Bullock to drop out to run in Montana and Beto/Castro in Texas.

He sounds like a moron. Does he have any shot statewide? How is Smith doing?

Bullock is term limited out for MT-Gov but he could run against Daines (R) for MT-Sen.

I does not appear that TX has either Senate or Gubernatorial elections in 2020.

Edit: Cornyn's TX-Sen is up in 2020.

I'm pretty sure Cornyn is up next year.

I believe he just lost his house seat to Angie Craig. He’s a rage monster.

Tina seems fine, she had no trouble beating Ms Phil Housley but she was a really bad candidate

I don’t see either MN senate seat going red.

I assume she's safe though it'd be nice if she had a better dem challenger. (I'd say the same about Amy who had zero competition in terms of any serious challenger and one of her primary opponents was a convicted murderer)

I’d like Al to take his seat back.

In fairness the potential primary challengers were probably afraid of getting a binder upside the head during a debate with her.

Nice map for 2020.

Not many paths to 50 D with a Dem VP.

I assume we give back AL unless the pedo runs again. So we start at 46.

CO should be good for us. 47.

ME is essential. 48.

2 more on that map?

Lets' hope for the pedo. 49.

NC or GA with Harris on the ticket?

Jesus, flyover is literally killing this country.

Well, on the bright side, we start at 47, not 46.

Got it, thanks. AL was already baked in. Fixed below.

Post WWII, prior to Craig winning, MN 2nd Congressional District has been held by the GOP with exception of one other person, David Minge from 1993-2001. It had been considered a solid Red district until the time John Kline retired and Lewis narrowly beat Angie Craig during the Trump Wave. Craig then unseated Lewis last year. Lewis will need to bank on outstate MN and second-ring suburbs in order to win because he's going to get hammered within Minneapolis, St. Paul, and their first-ring suburbs.

Re: 116th Congress: Episode 2 The Turtle Has Total Control

If our nominee is spending time in the Midwest (like they ****ing better be), having a decent Senate challenger in Iowa is important.

Same as everywhere else, then. The educated vote blue, the uneducated vote red, but there are a lot of uneducated.

Ernst is a monster. It doesn't sound like we have much of a bench there. You would think an ex-Gov would have a shot.

Our nominee better live in WI, IA, MI, OH, and PA.
