Election 2018 Open Thread v2 - Mia, Mimi, Gil, and T.J.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Porter's lead has extended to over 6K votes. We should be getting a call from AP soon.

[Former Dean Phillips Supporters for Haley (I guess???!?) 👁️]

Meanwhile in CA-21, a small # of additional votes came in from Kings. These are at about 2016 Presidential levels, so that is not *bad* for Cox per se, but the previous batch from Kings was better. Cox just needs some of those juicy provisionals from Kern that Tintrlvr keeps telling us about... Hopefully they are coming.

The first Asian-American woman elected to congress just got de-elected.

[Pericles]

Wow this is fun to watch.

[RussFeingoldWasRobbed]

So much for Titanium Unbeatable Young Kim.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Bye, Young!

I now accept my accolades

[ON Progressive]

What is CA-45 at? California SOS is slow

Porter leads big

[Dr. Arch]

This is a disaster for Republicans in CA.

[Former Dean Phillips Supporters for Haley (I guess???!?) 👁️]

So much for Titanium Unbeatable Young Kim.

Next up, unbeatable titan David Valadao.

So you are saying that she won't be the NRCC chair?

Remember when Republicans laughed about Hillary winning the popular vote because "California doesn't matter."

LOL

anyway why are Maloney and Bustos running for DCCC chair?
dumbasses.(especially Maloney who only won by 10 in 2016). You need your chair to be in a safe seat.

There's something beautiful about watching the republican collapse there happen in slow-motion, especially with republicans prematurely declaring victory in some of these races the morning after election night.

I mean, this is the one reason I like voting by mail: it makes elections last longer

[GeorgiaModerate]

I realize it's not going to flip, but how close is CA-50 likely to end up?

Bustos won by 22 and 24 points in 2016 and 2018 respectively. Holding that seat by such a margin in a district Trump won shows you have serious political chops. She can share her tricks with rural Democrats.

Does the NRCC chair have to be an actual member of Congress? Maybe she can be NRCC chair anyway and she can give all the recruits advice about how to campaign in a competitive election.

It's hilarious how arrogant these Republicans in Clinton districts were, to actually think that they were re-elected because they were beloved. They were elected to be a check on President Clinton, and what they ended up getting was lockstep foot soldiers for President Trump who vote with him 99% of the time. So they got tossed out on their sorry asses. So enjoyable to watch. Even a "far left bad fit Elizabeth Warren protege" handed Mimi her ass, LMAO.

[Tintrlvr]

I realize it's not going to flip, but how close is CA-50 likely to end up?

Probably within 3-4 points. San Diego County has about 250,000 ballots left to count, of which around 50,000 will be in CA-50, so there are a lot of votes still out there.

Republicans triaged the seat this cycle. She could very well lose it in a bad environment even if her political resume is impressive

She won by double digits in 2014 after Republicans targeted her.

[OneJ]

So the Dems will probably be trying to take out Valadao and Hunter next cycle?

Also:

Hope she enjoyed orientation!

Congrats to Golden, Porter, and Cisneros (although he’s not called yet)!

And then the seat and Upper Midwest lurched right

Im still not convinced that Trump even won that district.  I keep running the numbers and have Hillary narrowly carrying it.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Bye Young Kim.
