AZ and NC certainly seem swingy at the level of WI based on the last three years.
I would say North Carolina is ripe for swingy and it'll snapback congressionally and state wise with redistricting most assuredly happening.
I'm gonna need to see AZ actually vote D before I mentally move it from Lean R to Swing.
(Strictly talking Presidential races here)
And then Trump would ask the appeals court for a stay.
If that is granted, then they can twiddle their thumbs until a non-expedited hearing is agreed to.
If it's denied, then it can be sent to the Supreme Court to grant a stay.
In both cases, this drags on and on (the actual case is not even being heard at that point).
MO didn't even vote for Obama in 08 when Indiana did.

I haven't been around much the last three weeks or so, but for good reason! My friend and I started a podcast and I'd love if you all checked it out. It's called The Swig Party and each week we try a beer neither of us have drank before while discussing the latest happenings in the world of US politics, then give our thoughts on the beer when we're done. We just launched the first episode today :)
The Swig Party episode 1: The First Draught
And if you're feeling extra charitable and think there's potential here, we set up a Patreon too:

Any comments and critiques are welcome. The first episode is a little stiff because we were both nervous this first time around, but I'd love to hear what you all think :)

That's fair. They haven't done it since 1996, too long ago to fully get behind them doing it again in 2020.
LOL no.
Jason Kander was our last chance to win a statewide, highly partisan office. (The auditor office is not really seen as that partisan.) He came so close and would've won if not for the Comey letter, I think. Crazy that MO would've had two Democratic senators for a few years.
Also, get Trump's papers, Auntie Maxine.
Nope. Had the tweeter and you read the tweet thread, you would see the reason - to expedite the review in the courts.
It seems kinda inevitable to me. The margin in 2016 was only like 3.5%.
Eh
What is the chance of the judge rejecting the stay? What's the fastest time line we have?
Soooo...did they just do it without alerting trump so they couldn't stop it?
I think it's inevitable, too, but based on the discussion of what is a swing state based on past recent presidential voting, I get the reluctance to class it with WI or NC.
All they did was kill bad brown people. Why are Americans so salty he pardons them?
After pardoning Arpaio I shouldn't be surprised by this, but for some reason I still am. Hoping they get through to this meathead some how. I doubt it though.
Though if they win, is there anything stopping the private company from just sitting on their hands and taking forever if there's no deadline? Seems like a deadline is kind of necessary for enforcement.
Could be that Trump's stonewalling is pushing some people to supporting impeachment. There were polls that showed people rather continue investigations on Trump, but Democrats can't do that if he doesn't cooperate. The only other choice would be impeachment.
They're not, actually. These are the Romney->Clinton places where you'd expect this.
What they're different from is the Conor Lamb types places which are Obama->Trump-Dem.
Hillary won districts like Hill's by 5 points or more.
In districts like McBath's, Spanberger's, Underwood's Trump still won in 16.
And still didn't flip OC House seats.
And then we won all of them. They are the future, the others are the past we're struggling to hold onto.
(Every district he named falls into the "suburban and swung toward Democrats" category, even if Trump won them narrowly; they're not the Obama/Trump districts you described earlier.)
Canary in the coal mine. It's happening. It's probably just a matter of when. Or rather, figuring out how to time it to do the most damage to get the most votes in the Senate.
In Beto news, here's him on Criminal justice reform:
And in WTF news:
The thought of Sue Collins being boxed in and angering people no matter how she votes delights me endlessly.
They are ready to turn over the docs.
Trump is suing to prevent them from doing so. Once he's defeated, they will comply (as they've sought to do all along).
Watching the all in the family jeffersons live remake, the impersonations are over the top and a bit ridiculous but the material still works. Not sure if today's audiences (including those who saw the shows first-run) are interested, though.
I am willing to bet plenty of people, upon being questioned about impeachment for the first time, would feel very vague about what it actually is. And in reality would be supportive of using impeachment to get everything out into the open.
Just like with Corker, Flake, and Sanford, they don't care if it flips the district, NOT doing it shows others can voice their own minds on this. Capping a guy even when it hurts you shows you mean business to the cowards.
Andrew Gillum is on the case!
(with the first voter registration drive outside of presidential election years in the states history...)
I can't overstate how important this part is right now. We will absolutely get to impeachment if enough people flood their representative's offices with concerns.
