I’m moderately busy with this on in the background now, but Harrison is doing a really good job constantly calling Lindsey a liar. “If you change your mind, say so, admit it!”

Mod: tons of people on Obamacare Senator, protects pre-existing conditions. No medicaid expansion in SC. Thoughts on ACA?
Harrison: my grandfather worked his ass off and never had health care, so this is personal. So much suffering in South Carolina, no medicaid expansion is indefensible, feds pay for 90%. They just hate Obama. Rural hospitals closing because of this and people die. Graham doesn’t care.
Graham: they want government controlled health care, they want to abolish employer provided health care. Obamacare sucks. So expensive. All the money goes to California and New York. Some more lies about Obamacare. Government health care sucks.
Mod: Green New Deal. What do you think?
Graham: they want to abolish cars and cows. Would be a disaster, crush the economy. Hundreds of trillions (really, actual quote) in new spending. I’ll never destroy the economy. AOC endorsed my opponent!
Harrison: I don’t support green new deal but we have to do something. Lady G doesn’t support any actual polices to help. Sea level rise is pretty important to our state, we are on the fucking ocean! My opponent is in the pocket of big oil.

Mod: what issues do you disagree with your party on?
Graham: I work with Democrats a lot. Immigration is one issue. I believe climate change is real. I voted for Kagan and Sotomayor. I actually care about saving social security. Random rant concluding with “The people running the Democratic Party are nuts.”
Harrison: to work with the other side, don’t call them “nuts.” About making South Carolina better without name calling. Gotta work together. I was chair of SC Democratic Party and my best friend was chair of the SC Republican Party. You have sponsored exactly 3 laws that passed in 25 years bro, not very convincing.
(Cliffs here)
Harrison: I am still paying off my student loans
Graham: Why haven’t you paid them off
Harrison: because I pay for my entire family, they are poor you fucking asshole
(that concludes the debate)

A lot of voting has already happened in NC, so hopefully that helps mute the impact any Senate suprises

Stats from: North Carolina Early Voting Statistics
Calling the Alabama race a “toss-up” is a bit of a stretch.
I’d say both Texas and South Carolina (and maybe even Alaska and Kansas) are more likely wins for the Democrats.
The article and graphic are wrong, Cook has AL as lean R (same as KS and SC), Texas and AK are both likely R. Don’t think AL has ever been a too up by Cook.
not senate/house but throwing it here anyways.
