2020 Senate + House Races

If you want to fuck around after packing, just reduce back to 9 immediately after you pack. Thanks to lifetime appointments, that removes the ability of future Presidents to appoint anyone.

I like it, but that would be too clever for democrats.

BTW, anyone remember the GOP talking point about how impeachment was going to be a huge loss for dems, like Clinton for the GOP? Hugh Hewitt probably wrote a book on that.

Itā€™s still a breach of trust.

With their spouse and then only without that being something they are ok with. Itā€™s absolutely not disqualifying for any job.

it wouldā€™ve been if it was a normal presidency

in this one itā€™s hard to remember it happened at all

Our EV is 51.4 but it seems like a lot of 50 or 51 and a little clean sweep through it all for a huge huge wave. All those 20-30% chance states have to be strongly correlated.

Is that legal/constitutional? One principle of democracy is that future legislatures can override past decisions. If you want to put constraints on them you need to put it in the constitution and not in run-of-the-mill laws.

If they are willing to cheat on their spouse I suspect they are also more likely to be dishonest in other aspects of their life.

I donā€™t consider that adultery

Not automatically but Iā€™d still consider it when making a decision.

CA props are pretty wild stuff.

You can undo it with another prop. But theyā€™re trying to block the legislature from undoing it. Which may make sense.

James Carville podcast with a Houston professor about the possibility of flipping Texas.

I know sweet summer child - but with the youth vote ever expanding - Iā€™m holding out for a truly massive landslide that the polls didnā€™t see coming due to outdated likely voter metrics.

Some interesting replies to this tweet. (CC fees, supposedly, are what you pay CC companies for running the card.)

(So media production and placement is 1/4 of media consulting and CC processing. Seems bad.)
Remember how Duncan Hunter had like 1200 overdraft charges? Some of these congressmen have dicy books.

Yeah there is almost certainly corruption and grifting going on in the Jim Jordan campaign. Not at all surprising.

Apparently Kushner and other Trump allies have a big stake in WinRed? He could be funneling money to Trump for any number of reasons, blackmail being the most obvious.

What about Arizona?

McSally hasnā€™t had a single poll thatā€™s showed her winning in several months.

And while sheā€™s technically the ā€œincumbentā€, it should be treated almost like a reverse incumbency because she lost the other seat in an election two years ago and was simply appointed to this one.

I know sheā€™s not up for reelection this cycle, butā€¦
