Ok yeah they're gonna swing blue hard.
Healthcare seems to be the one issue where GOP voters consistently turn on the GOP if they fuck with it hard enough.
Don't think so. I think he loses reelection in 2019 tbh. He has had some legendary fuck ups thinking he could pull off Trump shit, like when he blamed child abuse on teachers for striking.
If Un comes to NY I hope every hotel in the city refuses to put him up.
Some will, many won't. The states that have had the teachers revolts are showing way more instability than other red states.
And he handled said teachers revolt 10000000x worse than literally anyone elseSome will, many won't. The states that have had the teachers revolts are showing way more instability than other red states.

Previous governor was a dem and I think they get back in
His pick will get 54ish votes anyway, so even if a Republican votes no, it won't matterAnyone who thinks the ~~~~~~~moderate darlings~~~~~~~ in the Senate won't vote to confirm Trump's SCOTUS pick are fooling themselves.
This actually may be 50-49 because of Roe. Manchin is not talking like a guy who's planning on voting yes.His pick will get 54ish votes anyway, so even if a Republican votes no, it won't matter
Was that the district with the "goddamnit both the DCCC candidate and the other challenger look like ideal DCCC recruits why can't they be in two different districts" problem?Bevin being an unpopular fuckwad could also cause KY-06, currently a Tossup, to be moved to Lean D. I recall reading that when the DCCC's polling showed a 15-point lead for McGrath, they couldn't believe it, but the numbers held when the conducted more polls.
Though I admit I rooted for Jim Gray (I want to see more women and openly gay men in office), I really like McGrath. She's a badass!
Joke is on you Trump has his own hotel.
Seriously though would Dems have the power to investigate and charge Trump with multiple emoluments once they take back the House?
They can certainly impeach him.They can investigate but I'm not sure if they can directly charge.
Yes. Jim Gray, the guy I mentioned, actually won KY-06 when he ran against Rand Paul in 2016.This actually may be 50-49 because of Roe. Manchin is not talking like a guy who's planning on voting yes.

In my anecdotal experience, a lot of Ron Paul fans are educated, "Libertarian" male engineer types whose political stance amounts to "I hate paying taxes". The point is that they don't think of themselves as racist. Policies that strongly favor whites but don't explicitly mention race is just survival of the fittest to them, but they'd never support an openly racist candidate.And why does Ron Paul feel the need to hide his bigotry? He published a white-supremacist newsletter for years.
McConnell will retire. He knows what's coming.Yes. Jim Gray, the guy I mentioned, actually won KY-06 when he ran against Rand Paul in 2016.
But this way, maybe he can challenge McConnell in 2020.
I actually see KY as a prime pickup opportunity in 2020, honestly.
They can investigate but I'm not sure if they can directly charge.
They can certainly impeach him.
But as I've explained many times, impeachment is a political process, not a legal one. The House can impeach the president for sneezing if it can muster 218 votes.
Bah. Fine, then impeach it is. I'll be so happy to have a house that can launch and direct legitimate investigations, rather than one that is trying hide any wrong doings.
I don't disagree, especially if Dems can scrape a Senate majority together this year.I actually see KY as a prime pickup opportunity in 2020, honestly.
Is it? Feels like we really need a good week.
Fart of DixieTrump will hold his meeting with Kim in a deep red part of Tennessee or something.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Law enforcement officials have arrested a person accused of trying to help a foreign terrorist organization's plan to attack downtown Cleveland, Ohio, on the Fourth of July, an FBI spokeswoman said on Monday.
She declined to give additional details ahead of a news conference at 9:15 EDT (1315 GMT).
Downtown Cleveland along with many other U.S. cities host fireworks displays every year to celebrate the U.S. Fourth of July holiday. Cities typically ramp up security around large holiday events.

what the fuck
I just wanted to chime in with the important observation that George Stephanopoulos fills out that polo shirt really well.

For Texas ranchers living along border fence, talk of an illegal crossing crisis is exaggerated
A manufactured crisis? Truly shocking news.

Yep, SDNY gets all Cohen evidence, and it feels like a Stone indictment will be coming soon so possibly this week.

The backlog of pending applications for immigrants legally in the country trying to become U.S. citizens has "skyrocketed" under Trump, increasing more than 87% since 2015, according to a new report from an immigrant rights organization. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/citizenship-application-backlog-skyrocketed-under-trump-report-finds-n888146?cid=eml_nbn_20180702 …

As in you think he'll lose?
Wait a minute, Ben Garrison is a racist, but this does seem a bit much for him. Wonder if it's a shop.

Richard Pinedo, the California man charged in connection with the special counsel office's Russian troll farm case (but not directly accused of knowingly helping the Russians interfere in the 2016 election), is scheduled for sentencing on Oct. 1

Did Garrison draw that?
Dude was an American citizen though and had an American name.This makes me worry, moreso, for the refugee and other immigrant communities in NE Ohio, primarily in Cleveland and Akron. We've already seen ICE raids.
Needs more labels
If he doesn't have power in 2018, he'll bow out in 2020.As in you think he'll lose?
I think the man loves power to much to retire.
