Democrats Will Win the House and Senate Next Year

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

The Virginia elections this week replicated a pattern we saw in 2005, the year before Republicans got massacred in the midterms and lost control of both houses of Congress. Suburban and rural legislative seats, some of which were never even competitive in recent years, flipped from R to D and a very lackluster Democratic candidate bested a well known Republican opponent by eight points. This is hardly surprising as Republicans have failed to accomplish little of anything they promised the voters last year, combined with the constant revolving door of shady, scandalized characters in and out of the White House. Then, of course, there is President Trump, himself, the cancer of it all, with historically low approval ratings and a mouth that doesn't quit. Many of us warned the GOP that he would be destructive to the party, but the rank and file didn't listen. Now you are seeing a foreshadowing of what we predicted would happen if you elected him.

Don't discount democrats ability to fuck even this up.

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

Every Democrat "Win" is a MAJOR defeat for the nation. P-E-R-I-O-D

(Not everyone has the intellect to realize that)

Personally, I think they can just sit back and ride the wave. The Republicans will do it all for them.

Bullshit! Those races only showed Dems still have power on a local level. And with only 12 million in the coffers and 25 national seats up they simply do not have the cash.

The second problem is their honesty level is in question. Seriously questioned after Donna Brazil book. The money mishandling leaves donors more apt to donate local and directly NOT to the DNC.

Third you have the power issue. The Clinton's no longer have any real say in the party. Who does? Could be Sanders or it could be Warren but not the Clinton's.

Hillary is this generations Nixon and that giant shit burger is frying now!

I hope trump completely dismantles the republican party.

 

[Natural Citizen]

Trump may very well not seek re-election.

Both Parties are equally capable of laying a turd!

You think INTELLECT is required to follow such simplistic partisanship?

Think again.

Keep an eye on the Republican shadow primaries.

Thread topic analysis ftl..........

Virginia is a solid blue state in 2017.....that Guillespie was so close was shocking particularly since conservatives stayed home. If the DUMS stay on the identity politics theme in 2018, they lose...........again!! People don't go for that shit.....progressives still think its a mainstream sentiment. Go.......go!!

A better bet is to watch the money. Hillary spent eight to one and lost. If the democrats walked into 2020 with anything less than 100 million to start they are in trouble!

Well, Clinton is out. Sanders is out. And the reality is that the current generation of youths will to finish something only goes so far as the next reality show when there is nobody there to lead their pet peeve cause. The Republicans will show up even more than they did in 2016, if for no ther reason than to poke a stick at the Democrat voters.

VA was expected. It's a Democrat state. There will be no wave.

Trump may very well not seek re-election.

He has already filed for re election.

I don't think the revenge factor is over either. Not sure how long it will last but with two more SCOTUS picks on the table if it does it's going to be brutal!

Virginia is not a Democratic state. It is a swing state and was perfectly winnable for the Republicans.

The Republicans did worse there than the 2016 elections
