I hope the Senate can take over what he was doing. The House will probably dog Trump over what I think of as trivia, but I also hope Trump can shake that off and continue with his meetings with Putin and Xi Jinping and his other (peace) initiatives and immigration policies. Aside from that, what might make a big difference in 2020 is who controls the state legislatures and governorships, because THAT will make a difference for redistricting when the Census results come out. I need to look at when (in the year) redistricting happens as opposed to when the elections happen. Gonna go look at the results for my state and hometown. I got called by a volunteer asking me if I had any questions for XXX, a candidate for city council, and I said I wanted to know was her thoughts on McMansions, and he said ... "That's a good question, I'll put her on", so I got to talk to her directly! She won my vote.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.
Quote:Originally posted by JEWELSTAITEFAN: Updated with new polls: Michigan Senate. Stabenow 3%, 49-46. Montana Senate. Dem 1%, 50-49.

As well, if GoP has a measly 6% lead, with more than 50%, that is proclaimed to be a Tossup. But if Dems have a whopping 3% lead, with no more than 46%, that is proclaimed to be a Dem win. (Even with less than 41%) No bias here, folks. Just ignore that man behind the curtain. With 9 days to go, this seems a decent time to summarize. I'll try the Senate first. No Senate races: NH, OR, ID, SD, AL, GA, SC, NC, CO, KS, OK, AR, LA, IL, IA, KY, AK. D23, R42 Senate Seats not up for Election in 2018. Senate Seats most pundits consider Safe for Dems (12): WA 14%, 53-39 NM 8%, 40-28-32 MN(1) 9%, 50-41 VA, NY, MD, DE, MA, CT, RI, CA, HI. Safe for Independents (2): VT, ME 9%, 41-27-32 Safe for GoP (4): UT, WY, NE 15%, 54-39 MS(1) 28%, 60-32 So, if those Predictions are to be believed, D37 R46 is the total without Battlegrounds. Seats most pundits are calling for Dem win, not included above (8): PA 5%, 51-46 MN(S) 3%, 46-43 MI 3%, 49-46 WV 5%, 45-40 this was moved to Tossup after this summary was originally posted MT 1%, 50-49 this was moved to tossup after this summary was originally posted NJ 5%, 47-42 this was moved to tossup after this summary was originally posted WI 9%, 53-44 (Conservative was underpolled 14% in the Primary) OH 6%, 49-43 Seats most pundits are calling for GoP win, not including above (2): MS(S) 9%, 38-29 ND(FLIP) 16%, 56-40 Without Tossups, pundit consensus is D45 R48. D42 R48 Without the obvious bias highlighted above, this would be D41 R48. D40 R48. Which leaves the Tossups, which Liberals must tweek and filter to conjure a Dem Majority (meaning no more than 1 of these Tossups is won by GoP): FL Tied, 46-46 AZ GoP 7%, 52-45 NV GoP 6%, 47-41 MO GoP 4%, 48-44 IN GoP 4%, 47-43 TX GoP 10%, 52-42 TN GoP 8%, 52-44 FL polls are bouncing all over. So, what are the odds that these 6 "tossup" States which all have GoP leading will have most flip to Dem? If those figures continue, we would have D45 R55 or D46 R54, dependant upon FL. If the 4 States highlighted above are in the midst of their "shifted left" biased polling, then Senate could be D41 R59. D40 R60. Oooops. That would preserve the Dems avoidance of GoP Supermajority. With WA lost to the weak-minded Mail Voting, it will likely stay Dem. If ME, PA, NJ vote GoP, then they would become part of the Supermajority and get all kinds of prosperity.

OK, I had felt unease but didn't really see clearly where this would lead - but it is certainly Trump's social media which has served to engage the youth vote, instead of MTV. Unless Trump stops the tweeter biz, the results will be even worse (for Conservatives) in 2020. If Dems find a credible candidate for 2020 while Trump continues the tweeter storm, he will be the cause of his own downfall. His only hope is if Dems prop up somebody as horrifying as Hilliary. I had considered the tweeter snippets to be distraction, a sidebar. But that is the purview of the most brainwashed, intolerant, least knowledgeable of the Electorate, and Trump spurred them to vote because he has never understood the dynamic. So, no real reason for Trump to not be Impeached, but for Senate to convict will depend upon how many Trump has ticked off. America will be better off if Pelosi does not realize the Political reason to not Impeach Trump is to allow him to implode. So here is hoping she goes for it. Trump is likely toast either way, Pence would be harder to attack, but Trump could collapse the House and Senate races for 2020, which do not favor GoP.

That is a huge turnout for a Mid-term. It is no mystery that this results in a Dem shift. That extra 270,000 votes explains both the Senate results, and the State races like Gov and AG. The counting of Military Ballots is apparently not completed in WI. And golly gee, there were apparently thousands of Ballots which were "damaged" and had to be "re-created" (most likely by Liberals). Surprise, surprise.

And SHAZAAM! all of these Ballots were "damaged" and needed to be "re-created" in the heart of Libtard Milwaukee. 45,000 uncounted Ballots. All going to Dems, looked like all straight tickets. Probably in alphabetical order, or in sequence of cemetary plots. Yep, Standard Operating Practice for Democrat Election Fraud. Although you might think they develop a new method of Election Fraud, it is more amazing that the Honest Electorate puts up with this Criminal Fraud.

They are manufacturing votes in secret and sorting which votes they want to count and which to ignore/discard. Amazingly, all votes are adding to the Dem totals. No Fraud going on here folks.

I just think it speaks volumes about the party and how insulting they are to the intelligence of their voter base and the intended demographic these signs were designed for. Never in my life have I seen signs like these for either party. Personally, I don't have any respect for anybody who presses the buttons to vote for a party on either side. These signs imply the following. 1. Don't bother educating yourself. We know reading is hard and boring. 2. Let us make the decisions for you. 3. You've already done the hard part of getting to the polling place. Now just shut your brain off and press that party line button and let us take care of the rest. Do Right, Be Right. :)

I'm so happy... T I didn't forget. I already laid it out in a previous post several days ago. Final house tally should be 229D 206R or 228D 207R, depending how Maine swings. Apparently they're counting the votes with an abacus there. Final senate tally should be 54R 46D or 55R 45D depending on Arizona. The Arizona race seems to have swung a few points in the Dem's favor over the last few days with only 17% of the votes left to tally. I'm actually hoping the Dems pick that one up so that my prediction for the Senate was perfect. Do Right, Be Right. :)

So total counts are a moving target, just like The Constitution, for them.

Dems might still be voting in those 2 Counties in AZ, but McSally conceded after winning on Election Day and only 6 days of continued Dem Voting afterwards. If I was going to look, I would check Dave Leips Election Atlas and/or ballotpedia. I'm sorry, but I am too busy at work.
