The cards are way too stacked against them first of all. It’s the economy, it’s hard to have a wave when unemployment is lowest since 1969. People vote with their wallets, sure immigration, health care, sexism, racism etc. is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I registered to vote as soon as I turned 18. It's unfortunate, but often it takes some pressing issue to motivate people to get out and vote. Here in Victoria, the local municipality with the worst voter turnouts is the one that is reportedly happiest with its municpal leaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 5 minutes ago, SabreFan1 said: If the Democrats grow a pair they'll stifle the rest of Trump's agenda and gridlock will return to Washington. He'll have to go the executive order route after which the Democrats under the Houses auspices can sue him to block any order they disagree with. The GOP will however have a flurry of bills that they will ram through Congress before the Democrats take over the House in January. So there's a reasonable possibility that you guys are out of the woodwork in December and Trump can spend the rest of his time playing golf until he's held accountable for his crimes against humanity?

I can’t believe that Blackburn has won in Tennessee. Usually GOP candidates from that state are moderate, she is a hard line tea party like candidate.

Not out of the woodwork until January. Between the day Congress goes back in session and the new Congress is seated in January, the GOP will be unrestricted in what they can push through into law. There will likely be a decent sized storm before the calm. After the new Congress is seated in January, the Democrats will be fighting against Trump's incoming attacks that he will inevitably be lobbing their way until the 2020 election. Or they'll bend over a few times, like that party has a habit of doing, before they learn their lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonLever Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 The Cruz / Beto race is really close with a virtual tie as the lead keep flipping. It could go either way. If Beto wins it will be a big upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also never worked on a farm What? Yes, and are you also aware o'rourke is a born and bred texan? I.....i dunno what to say about that Really.

CBH1926 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Republicans rallied around Trump, Democrats on the other hand went few different directions. Progressives, those that opposed Pelosi, more moderate fraction etc. Trump did a good job energizing the base last few weeks, Nancy Pelosi has to be replaced.
