I hope AOC just enjoys this. She is too good at this and I would hate it if behind the scenes, all that criticism got to her. I hope she takes in in stride.
All it took was for him to literally stop people from getting their paychecks and perhaps the eventual collapse of the US Economy/Society. Score!
Still proud of my wife for not shaking Rob Portman's hand when she took her students on that trip to DC.
He seriously has the best surrogates.
Does he have any that are not trash tier?
I appreciate that she attributes it to Moore directly and not "Rorschach from Watchmen."
Yeah, i'm quite skeptical of the whole article.
Don't worry, the far left will take it and run with it as evidenced by OT.
Some of these are obviously wrong because Morning Consult feels like throwing darts against a wall sometimes.
gosh this is pretty horrid for Trump
AZ is tilting blue and he's barely holding on to KS and MO
I see there are a bunch of lurking journalists waiting in the wings to pounce on Bernie Sanders with veracity for just a simple campaign-wide issue.
Morning Consult has a Republican lean so if anything the numbers might be worse for Trump.
-62 in DC, good GOD. I know they have more reason than most with the shutdown but holy shit.
Sigh. I wish election fuckery weren't a big problem in GA and FL.
Trump hasn't done shit for WV jobs and they still fucking love him. Embarassing.
Also, petition to expel WY from the union.
I work at a law firm; would I big considered Big Law if I donated?
Yassssssssssssssssssssss werk it Ned
And McCain considered him as well before Palin was forced on him.
Aren't the ones who aren't furloughed working without pay?
Suddenly I want to read a Fred Trump biography. Robert Caro's not busy, is he?
Michael D'Antonio has a fascinating piece that touches on the Fred Trump veteran's housing scandal:

Like I said before about this, if the Senate races are as polarized as they were in 2016 (first election where no state elected a senator from a different party than who they voted for as president), we could actually do pretty well for ourselves.
You're trading Alabama for Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Maine, and North Carolina for a 52-48 majority. Not only that but PPP polled that same set of states along with Alaska, where they also found Trump underwater. I don't know if we could actually win Alaska at the presidential level, but there's enough uniqueness to the state's politics that we should make a serious run at the Senate race.
Add Kansas, Montana and Texas to that (where his approval ratings are not great) and you got yourself a stew. Just imagine coming out of 2020 with 55 Senate seats, especially if Manchin runs for governor and replaces himself with someone who can afford to be more progressive (like Carte Goodwin or someone). Abolish the filibuster, add DC and PR as states, win WI/PA in 2022...
People never talk about it but it's noteworthy that the Trumps are a large family (Fred Trump alone had 5 kids including Donald) and you never hear anything out of the rest of the family who clearly want nothing to do with Donald's clan (or klan may be more appropriate). Usually when someone becomes president their extended family is coming out of the woodwork but not Donny's!
I'm told that @staceyabrams met separately yesterday with @SenSchumer and @SenCortezMasto to chat about a potential Senate run in 2020. #gapol
I love how flippant this is. Even if King should be expelled.
Sounds like some Etc posters.
-62 in DC ayyyyyyyyyyy lmao.
Proud to live in a state with the lowest rating at least (DC isn't a state so).
Suffer and get wrecked. Only thing wrong with racist pieces of shit self-destructing is them taking innocent people down with them.
That's true. The only things I know about them are his sister the federal judge, the sad story around Fred Jr., and the way Donald screwed his siblings out of their inheritances.
I don't think he's at -12 in Wisconsin, nor is he at -3 in VA.
He's also not at -10 in Iowa
We probably don't win GA or NC, or KS, MT, or TX. And we probably won't ever make PR and DC states even if we had the numbers to. It's a nice picture you paint though.

Sen Murkowski joins Dems on the Senate floor calling on the govt to be re-opened during border wall funding negotiations: "Count me in as one of those who wants to address these issues, but also count me in as one who says that shutting down the government is not governing."

LOL her office must be getting destroyed by calls from constituents.
Edit:
Not governing is what her party is best at wtf is she talking about?
Fred sounds like he hung around wise guys too...
Theyre talking to that 25-30% crowd that wants a weakman caudillo with this.
Oof thats the kiss of death right there.

I'm not convinced on the "make Guam/American Samoa/Northern Mariana/Virgin Islands states" strategy's likelihood, but PR/DC are absolutely happening the next time Democrats have full control of Congress and the presidency. Or at the very least, there will be a strong, good faith effort to do it.
NC Senate 2020 is no worse than a tossup. Hell I'd say Georgia is too with Abrams running. She and Jeff Jackson (NC) will be our downticket rock star candidates next cycle.
Those workers should be suing them and if unionized should be grieving them.
I believe at least one federal workers union filed suit some time back
Apparently Beto didn't livestream his teethcleaning
Probably needs to be a day set to blow up Republican Senators' phones on this.
Amicus doing an overview on the shutdown and as an aside it goes into RBG and what likely solidified her staying in the seat. tldr: Sandra Day O'Conner being forced off the bench before her time because Rehnquist, basically dying on the bench, decided to stay on and she was basically being traded out in his stead. No one saying a word against him despite being on the throes of death with cancer was this wild affront to what she stood for and likely fuels her intent now.
