Manchin continues to poll very well in West Virginia.
RCP has moved the race to “Leans Dem”. If Manchin can coast to victory I’m pretty sure the Democrats can take the House back. And maybe there is hope for the Dems to pick up two in the Senate. If they pick up Arizona, Nevada and now Tennessee(which is a real possibility), they can still lose a seat in either Missouri, Florida, North Dakota or Indiana and still end up with 51. I wouldn’t bet on it, but there’s a path. Interesting.
They pick up either house trump is done. Which is a good thing if they can not manage to blow it come 2020. I’m hoping the Putin meeting was a turning point for a lot of people.
There’s too much time between now and November. It will be pushed aside just like the ■■■■■ grabbing. Our host and others have already started framing this as “the most important mid-term election of our lifetimes.” (said on last night’s broadcast)
There is still time to go obviously, but in most all of the battleground contests, the Democrats hold a substantial financial lead over their Republican counterparts.
I think the Senate will likely be 51 - 49 one side or the other. Very close.
Maybe…more will come out…
I tend to agree. It will be very close. And there is still a lot of time between now and the midterms. If the tariffs continue to hurt rural farmers across the Heartland, then it could really be a problem for the GOP as well, likely suppressing voter turnout on their side of the aisle.
Here in Missouri, the tariffs are generally the most talked about issue on local conservative talk radio. And people are nervous, scared, upset, and already feeling the financial pinch. A few more months of this, especially if new tariffs are slapped on and then retaliated against, then things could really start to go sideways for the GOP.
