Dems flip yet another seat in Trump-friendly Sarasota

[martybegan]

And yet the generic ballot trending for congress has gone from D+15 to R+1

But keep winning single districts in special elections here and there that don't mean anything except to boost your own flagging spirits.

Historically, generic ballot polls are nearly meaningless Marty. This will all come down to who the candidates actually ARE, energy and turnout.

it just shows trends, and right now the trend is moving back towards Trump. I'm sure if it was the opposite you would be crowing about it right now.

Better noting is the one quote in the Washington Post report: "(Trump) is on the side of the wife-beaters, and I wouldn't be surprised if he cheated on his wife," which to all reports he did, after the wife gave birth to the youngest boy. That is even subject of the reported payout by the attorney--in return for what(?).

Hillary actually won in twenty of the elections that turned the 36 red to blue seats. What is getting the attention is the off-message side-shows, commanding more attention than even the new "Black Panther" movie.

Even Speaker Ryan had turn off his message about the $1.53 per week from the tax cut.

Even today, there is an uptick in inflation, possibly with basis in expectations: Given the Tax Cut.

The Republicans in both federal legislative chambers have further hiked prices on the Middle and Lower income classes. The rich probably already bought a lot of stuff. . .for their lawyers(?).

"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
(Many Dice not on table: Maybe now just too pricey to be noticed(?)!)

So dems dump a ton of money into a small race, enrage the local opposition, and then crow about winning?

Lets see how the general election goes while Trump's policies continue to help people.

It's a 12 point swing - Tick Tock - suburban women are comin' to get ya!

Good won by 7 percentage points in a district that President Donald Trump carried by 5 points in the 2016 election.

And yet the generic ballot trending for congress has gone from D+15 to R+1

But keep winning single districts in special elections here and there that don't mean anything except to boost your own flagging spirits.

Rasmussen has Democrats now up to a 9 point average. What we are seeing is women especially suburban women coming out in greater numbers and voting for Democrats even more than they voted for Clinton. We saw that in NJ Virginia and Alabama.

So they are ignoring all the sleaze coming from the democratic side and falling in like good little lemmings..

Great.

After the left claimed Hillary had the election in the bag I pay no attention to them, their polls, or any of their fake news.

How could this have happened? OMG!? Because my withholding fell by $34/month and now I'm a Trumptard!!! Didn't that happen to everyone?

$165 a month for me.

What type of crap job do you have?

I'm retired.

So's my 98 year old grandfather, and he isn't bitching about it.

I guess he still has more get up and go than you, considering he still works 3 months a year.

Nice sort of admission on your part that the bill was tax cuts for the Rich.

I am not rich.

What I lack is your jealousy over people with more than you. Except for people that toe your political line, then you give them a pass.

You should learn to read in your spare time.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

This is the same pattern we saw in 2005 and 2006 leading up to the 2006 midterms when the GOP got swept out of the majority.

So you really believe that Democrats should become Republicans because Trump borrowed a few trillion dollars to give handouts to Americans?

Dems have been expecting votes from handouts for decades, why does it work for you all the time?

What 2016 has shown is patterns and trends aren't worth spit with Mr Upredictable in the White House, and his unpredictable supporters often not admitting so until they are in the safety of the ballot box.

We weren't seeing this in 2016.

Same pattern only more energy ...
Don't recall any crowds quite like this in '06 (better than half a million at women's marches in several cities)
More marches planned just prior to midterms .. the perfect thing to gin up the turnout.

Not taking about the details, talking about how conventional wisdom has been thrown out the window by PDT.

So far since Jan. 20th in the special elections Dems have won 12 and Repubs 11.
One gained so far, we'll see this Nov.

Ehhh no - this one made 51 flips for Ds

“They’re winning elections in places where they shouldn’t be,” said Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s former campaign manager, at a Sunday afternoon rally for the Republican candidate. “We’ve seen them win statehouse seats in Wisconsin. We’ve seen them win big mayor’s races in New Hampshire. Fifty seats have already changed hands, from Republicans to Democrats, since President Trump took office. Make no mistake: The Democrats are unified.”​

We still have June, July, Aug. &Sept. to go.
Then the Nov. election.
The wins are in many heavily democratic areas.
Like I said, we will see in Nov.

Nonsense. The wins are primarily in red and purple area. Tough, I know, but there it is.

The wins were not in heavily Democrat areas. Several of those seats were in areas that went to some degree for Trump.

Don't get your hopes up, loser. Soros pumped a lot of money into all these races.

To this day it's unbelievable that so many lie and are truly embarrassed, but they'll vote for that clown anyway! My bestie and roommate from 40+ years ago, is a Mensa member, proudly voted for Trump! He says he wears his T-Shirt with pride, but we haven't seen or spoken since! He has to be severely embarrassed, but I refuse to go looking for the idiot! He fk'd up and I can't forget how telling his vote is to me for someone I had so much respect for!

 

[edthecynic]

How could this have happened? OMG!?

According to their STUPID MessiahRushie it is because of, wait for it, Russian interference.

February 14, 2018
RUSH: This I think, if you want to know the truth, is Russian meddling. Russian socialist worldwide meddling. This is Russian interference in our election.

The Republicans lost seats in the Senate and the House in 2016. Trump snuck through because of our weird electoral college system.
Nobody running in 2018 has the advantage of that weirdness.
