Which is also why the standard practice for Trump and the GOP has been to just start tying Gov's to Nancy Pelosi and whatever boogeyman they can. They want to nationalize every race they can.

I like to watch Chuck Todd but he can be super terrible when he goes into narrative mode.
Oh. Right. Youth is on your side.
Rispone has conceded and didn't put up a minor fight like Bevins.
If nothing else it shows that impeachment isn't hurting Democrats. It's probably increasing enthusiasm.
We're continuing to improve in suburban areas, even in red states. Yes, that might spell trouble for Trump in MI, PA, and AZ, all very suburban states that he needs to have any chance at victory.
Yeah, just like how Todd trying to infer anything about impeachment from these results was stupid, it would be unwise to assume these results (which are great!) mean anything for the presidential race.
Well, what auto just said is correct. "We can beat McConnell!" is not.
Edwards won by 13% in 2015, tonight by about 2%. What changed in Louisiana? People forgetting about how bad Jindal was?
You mean when they cancelled his trip? he was basically about to appear at an event with a known criminal and they realized at the last minute.
Also Vitter was a terrible candidate in 2015. Roy Moore level.
The GOP walked right into that one.
Every time I cry thinking about what could've been if Nelson, Kander, and Beto all won
Lakeview, the GOP part in New Orleans where JBE lost by 3% in 2015, wins with 58% in jungle primary and 57% here
Things that can be read into election results:
1. Bad news for Dems. DISSARY!
2. (...)
There were a lot of Republicans who were anybody but David Vitter, who he ran against last time. JBE didn't have that this time around.
LOL Rispone still kissing Trump's ass in his concession speech
Gerrymande
Jindal was a massive mess when he left office and running against shitter Vitter was easy.
Gov races being wholly nationalized is still not a thing. We saw that last year all over the place.

Any one of those would have made next year a considerably easier lift. To say nothing of what would have happened if they all did.
Shit sucks! No matter who wins in 2020 Democrats need to get their act together. WI/PA/NC/FL (yes, really) are all winnable in 2022. We can come back for TX and FL in 2024.
My favorite LA politics story of all time is when a super corrupt politician beat out David Duke for the governorship
Does anyone know when the next wave of polls go up? I read somewhere that we should see some more tomorrow, but I'm not positive that's true.
I don't think comparing the Landrieu Senate race to gov race is a good comparison. It might feel good to see but its a very different vote.
I wish I had one of the bumper stickers: "Vote For The Crook - It's Important"
Too bad Gavin wasn't already governor a few years ago
hes probably exactly what this party wants right now given what seems to be drawing people to the candidates currently running
i can imagine him actually sort of challenging Biden in SC like no one else has yet either too

this greasebag is such a weirdo. Patrick Bateman lookin ass. hope he gets his ass kicked when he runs for president
And guess what happened the year after?
And yet we did technically win but got it stolen from us due to GOP fuckery.
I don't watch MSNBC because I don't have cable anymore but Maddow is great. Hayes is pretty good too
Edwards managed to not get totally blown out most of the parishes, even winning in a number of the rural ones.
Mississippi seems uniquely fucked in ways that even Louisiana isn't.
My takeaway from these Gov races (and some 2018 races) is that Trump's popularity hardly rubs off.
A random football match deciding the fate of an election sounds like the definition of hellworld
Well if it looks like a hellworld
sounds like a hellworld
and feels like a hellworld...
I know the GOP has always been shitty but I honestly don't think modern day GOP would even do that.
There's also these gems
"Continuing his artful use of humor to deflate an opponent, and referring to his considerable reputation as a ladies' man, Edwards said of Duke that "the only thing we have in common is that we both have been wizards beneath the sheets."[46] He also feigned concern for Duke's health due to smoke inhalation "because he's around so many burning crosses"[2] and when a reporter asked Edwards what he needed to do to triumph over Duke, Edwards replied "stay alive.""
Red states are political thunderdome and leadership needs to understand this
really if I was in charge I'd just tell Yang to run for senate in WV and let's just see what happens
