He’s vulnerable. People in Wisconsin are used to governors who go out and mix with the public and talks to people. All he does is hide, make phone calls to GOP radio, and keep busy being governor of Republicans.
Plus, I think that feckless, impotent, crash and burn presidential run made him look really stupid.
Two weeks ago O’Conner was trailing Balderson by one point.
Two weeks before that she was trailing by 9-11 points.
Right before Trump got there the race was a dead heat, and finished pretty much a dead heat
You think a less than one point change from the final polls results to the actual result represents a statistically significant difference such that we can label Trump a “wrecking ball for Democrat hopes”?
Are you being serious that you think these numbers help your case?
Ah…you must be talking about the same poster who justified Tamil Rice’s shooting by saying that the police told him 3 times to drop the toy gun before they killed him. Unfortunately for the poster, the video itself showed that to be an impossibility.
Trump has been an unmitigated disaster for your party. Not only has he energized the Democrats, but moderate Republicans seem to be leaving the party as well.
Yup. This election is basically an IQ test for the Democratic Party. They’ve shown an uncanny ability to screw things up, but perhaps they’ve learned a bit over the past few years.
Maybe substantially cut into if the bloodbath extends to 2020.
Republicans have a major institutional advantage especially in the House and in all of those state legislatures, whose districts have been gerrymandered at least to the extent of Congressional districts since the 2010 census and their huge electoral wins that year.
It’d take a swing like 2010 in the direction of democrats PLUS extra percentage points to make up for that pro-Republican districting inertia.
I remember when the tea party was all the rage. Many R candidates were running as small government conservatives in 2010 and 2012. Now they are nothing of the sort.
These “moderate” Ds will do the same but in reverse, voting for single payer etc once Ds are back in power.
