SaysWho? Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 7 hours ago, Ricofoley said: cool Response about the primaries (seven progressives challenged incumbents) from the executive director of the Delaware Democratic Party: Quote Jesse Chadderdon, executive director of the Delaware Democratic Party, said primaries are "just an inevitability" in solid-blue Delaware, where Democrats control the governor's office, the House and Senate, and all statewide elective offices. "To win elective office in a heavily Democratic area, you have to defeat someone in your own party," he noted, adding that the party is "as healthy as I've ever seen it." "Certainly, progressive activists have a loud and important voice in our party ... but there are a lot of diverse voices in our party," Chadderdon said. "We think that's a good thing." Chadderdon also said the primary elections shouldn't be seen as just "a two-way tug of war" between moderates and progressives. "It's about robust discussion about public policy," he said.

Massdriver Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Democrats Are Slight Favorites To Take Back The Senate | FiveThirtyEight FIVETHIRTYEIGHT.COM Democrats are slight favorites to regain control of the Senate, according to the FiveThirtyEight Senate forecast, which launched today. But the map is wide open… Looks tighter than the Presidential race. Quote In fact, while it’s possible that Democrats will wind up controlling 54 seats or perhaps even more, the most likely outcome is a much more closely divided chamber, including the possibility of a 50/50 split in which control of the Senate would be determined by whether the vice president is Kamala Harris or Mike Pence. (Joe Biden and Harris currently have a 76 percent chance of winning the presidential race, according to our forecast.1) 2020 Senate Election Forecast | FiveThirtyEight PROJECTS.FIVETHIRTYEIGHT.COM Latest forecasts and polls for the 2020 Senate elections by Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massdriver Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 By going off of polls alone, Dems have a 68% chance of capturing the Senate, a 10 percentage point jump from the default deluxe model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly there isn't enough polling outside national and swing states to really know the state of a lot of these elections, but whats out there suggests GOP senators are doing worse than Trump in many states.

I just can't see this being a good issue for them, in 2018 they thought it'd pump up the base ramming Kavanaugh through, instead they got blown out in the house with record turn out. Plus polling has actually been done on whether people prefer Trump or Biden to pick the next justice and Biden usually outdoes his vote margin, and dems are typically more motivated by the SCOTUS pick as well. Replacing RBG with some far right justice is far more likely to push Dem voter turn out to new heights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaladinSolo Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I was more pointing out that dem voters are seeing this as a major issue, and definitely not agreeing with him that more than a month out from the election is too late to spend campaign donations, which is a bad take.
