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.

 

 

Also looks like Progressives had much success in Rhode Island:

Its interesting when people in Blue states find out the dems they've elected are just shit heads, then immediately remove them all for progressives, it was the same thing in NY in 2018 where a bunch of dems that were working with the GOP for a long time were all thrown out.

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.

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)

These assholes don't even realize that the PR GOP actually is competitive with the Dems but I think dissociation with the mainland party helps them. After statehood, maybe not.

 

That said, PR doesn't need statehood, they need self determination, which may ultimately end up as statehood

Dems seem like they're actually going to gain more house seats, 

 

 

But if the Dems end up with mid 50s number of senators with Graham losing every senate session should begin with the video of him saying nominating Trump will destroy the party.

 

I actually used to know one of the guys whose gay wedding Riggleman officiated. :lol: He came by one of the times I hosted Diplomacy on the roof of my building in DC.

There is only around a 7% chance of that happening according to 538.

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.

Fighter pilots are kind of lame.  We need more Culinary Specialists and Yeomen to run for office. 

 

 

Fuck all this owning a business is like running a country shit, let's see someone working at Mcdonalds end up President or at least a Senator. That person would have vastly more knowledge of what life is like for normal people than any damn businessman would.

I kinda need to know the GOP numbers in the same timespan before I decide it's lit.

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.

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.

 

I figured. Just wanted to post that response from a sitting Senator about timing.

 

I really hope this lights a fire under the asses of people who don't put judges up there in terms of importance.
