republicans are running scared

[billyerock1991]

the Republican establishment's very public panic attack over Donald Trump has dominated political news for more than a week now, but have you asked yourself why Republicans are tearing their hair out?

It's not just about the presidential race. It's about every other race in this country, too.

Republicans face an absolutely brutal Senate map in 2016, and a Trump loss could cost Mitch McConnell the majority that he only just won. The House is so outrageously gerrymandered that the GOP majority probably won't be seriously contested by anything short of a Democratic landslide—but what better recipe for a Democratic blowout than a Republican ticket led by a racist, xenophobic blowhard who overreacts to even the smallest criticism? And with a dozen gubernatorial and thousands of state legislative seats up for election next year, a Trump implosion in the general election could be a Democratic bonanza.

This is the worst-case scenario for the GOP. It's why Republican leaders are discussing a coup at the Republican convention to keep the nomination out of Trump's hands at all costs. But chances are you haven't heard about how Trump could ruin the party down ballot next year if you're getting your electoral news from talking heads on cable "news."

Traditional media outlets never talk about state legislatures and city councils. Hell, they barely even talk about Senate or gubernatorial races. But that's what Daily Kos Elections excels at—and if you want to know more about the races that everyone else ignores, you need to sign up for the Daily Kos Elections Digest.

DailyKos is rubbish!! It's a mouthpiece for the "we hate America" scum and isn't worth being used to wrap fishnchips!!

Democrats are in frantic mode, it's going to take a lot of lies and distortions to get Hillary elected and that's all they got..

 

[JakeStarkey]

The OP's assertion is correct: going to be a tough year on our GOP and the Senate elections.

Loserterinism has fucked the gop next year. Give up the anti-government crap and you may have a chance.

Obama will leave the Democratic Party in its worst shape since the 1920s
By Ashley Dobson | August 24, 2015




When President Obama was elected in 2008, Democrats were riding high.


Not only did he make history by becoming the first black president, he was also a new young face for their aging party and he helped usher in a wave of support across the country.

That didn’t last long. His legacy for the Democratic Party is abysmal.

When Obama leaves office, he is set to leave his party at the state and national level in the worst shape it has been in since 1929.

Politico recently took a deep-dive into Obama’s effect on these elections.

I'm sure the reps are terrified

Senate - Rep
House - Rep
Governors: 32 Rep
17 Dem
1 Ind
State Legislatures: 31 Rep
11 Dem
7 Split

For the same reason the Senate went GOP in 2014, the Senate will go Dem in 2016. And, given the progress made on the economy by President Obama, and the stupidity being espoused by the present GOP candidates, I don't see a GOP President being elected in 2016. If Trump wins the nomination, there is a distinct chance the GOP could lose the House.

 

[Mac1958]

As I understand it, this still hinges on the results of the first ballot. If no candidate has enough delegates to win the nomination, then the shit hits the fan. That's when the delegates vote any way they want, and that's when the poker game begins.

I'd guess that would be an argument - from the "establishment" perspective - for keeping as many of the current candidates in the race as possible.

Theoretically, they could change the rules before or at the convention, but I haven't heard anything about that - has anyone?

What policy of obama's has helped the economy?

the stimulus and bailouts--which was endorsed (in general) by the treasury and most Keynesian economist in the country.

What about the other economist--they mostly suggested doing nothing and letting the economy run its course. Under that mind set, Lehrman Brothers fail with the fate of the world economy facing total collapse. Realizing the actual madness of that advice, GWB and the majority of centrist and right of center politicians ran to the left.


The far right was endorsing Darwinism, when survival demands the living to fight against Darwinism!

Cite some evidence, I haven't seen any. The stimulus cost us lots of money and went into the pockets of many government workers and union members. That cost money in the private sector so it was a big loser. Bailing out GM? It would have been better to let it go into bankruptcy and reorganize. Or close. There are other auto makers and they would have filled the void. The banking bailout happened during the Bush administration, what did obama have to do with it?

The stimulus and bailouts kept the economy from collapse further.

But I bet you think if we did nothing, we would have gotten the same results, right?

The Rs just passed the biggest gravy train budget law in the history of the US. The R's are anything but anti-govt.
