Yeah KY is a lost cause.Kentucky blue but not Iowa, Michigan or Wisconsin? What on earth

Kamala is a stunning woman, wow.
Anyways, I think the answer to that question is pretty obvious.
I have a question, do you think if Beto runs, the GOP will bring up his multiple arrests when he was younger? Even if they were super minor offenses, the GOP will mostly likely milk it dry
In a video posted on Twitter over the weekend, Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi is seen complimenting a supporter by saying, "If he invited me to a public hanging, I'd be on the front row." Hyde-Smith, who is white, is the appointed incumbent locked in a runoff for her Senate seat with Democratic challenger Mike Espy, a former congressman and U.S. agriculture secretary who is African-American.
Espy's campaign calls Hyde-Smith's comments "reprehensible" and says they have no place in political discourse.
"We need leaders, not dividers, and her words show that she lacks the understanding and judgment to represent the people of our state," said Espy campaign spokesman Danny Blanton in a statement.
Mississippi has a tortured history of racially motivated killings. According to the NAACP, Mississippi had 581 lynchings between 1882 and 1968, more than any other state. The state's population has the highest percentage of African-Americans of any state, 37 percent according to the last census.
"Hyde-Smith's decision to joke about 'hanging,' in a state known for its violent and terroristic history toward African-Americans is sick," said NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson in a statement to NPR. "To envision this brutal and degenerate type of frame during a time when Black people, Jewish People and immigrants are still being targeted for violence by White nationalists and racists is hateful and hurtful."
During an appearance on CNN, Espy was asked if the comment was racist.
"All I know is we need leaders now here in 2018 that will bring us together," Espy replied. "My campaign is a campaign that tries to reach across the racial chasm, reach across the party chasm and bring us together."
Looks like CA-39 will flip as well
Can we smack everyone that says that their vote makes no difference?
And I think we will. The last two years on repeat, except, Trump will be extra cranky because he's actually going to be be told no and probably having to deal with legal issues throughout. If two years of Trump can lead to a mid-term with presidential election turnout, good god 2020 will be amazing.People were celebrating 50% turnout this election. 50%...in the "shining beacon of democracy" in the most hotly anticipated and closely watched race in a lifetime.
Every vote counts. If we have this excitement in 2020, we are golden!
"Well they won by hundreds of votes so they didn't need me anyway."Can we smack everyone that says that their vote makes no difference?
Not a chance. Espy almost lost the first election with two Republicans splitting the vote.So anyone think Mississippi might flip to D after the runoff and we get another Senate seat?

A man can dream! Especially after the lynching comment, who knows
Republicans even have the James Bond villain with an eye patch.
The GOP should be ashamed of themselves, but they have no shame. All going according to keikaku...
Kamala's floor is second place in the primary
I literally cannot conceive of a world where she becomes third or less.
I am glad that a "young" Kim won, that is Andy Kim! Hope Gil Cisneros pulls through as well. So happy at the prospect of all of OC going blue. Katie did amazing as well, great person for the district. I am so excited for 2020, I want this momentum to keep going. Remember we select the candidate at the primary levels, so vote primaries too.
Yes. And if people have problems with Pelosi or anyone else not being progressive enough, support candidates to the left of them in the primaries! At worst, that candidate loses, but may force the incumbent to move left on certain issues. Especially in the Bay Area, NYC, and other metropolitan areas, this is a way to force safe democratic areas to move more left.
I guess they should change the name to Blue County! Thank you. I'll be here all week.
Saw this earlier, congrats. Big dem pickup for sure. Looks like State Senator District 28 might come down to the wire depending n how many votes there are left.Katie Hobbs (D) declared winner in Arizona SoS race!

Y'all getting arrogant again. Don't lose the fervor you had two weeks ago or 2020 will be another 2016 nightmare.
