Lol Gardner Title: Re: CO-Emerson: Hickenlooper +13 Post by: DaWN on August 20, 2019, 09:40:56 AM Clearly a Hyper Competitive Tossup Race!
- Every pundit Title: Re: CO-Emerson: Hickenlooper +13 Post by: TrendsareUsuallyReal on August 20, 2019, 09:51:53 AM Honestly don't know why Gardner wouldn't just retire at this point. Why wage a losing battle and waste months of your time, health and energy on it

Title: Re: CO-Emerson: Hickenlooper +13 Post by: RI on August 20, 2019, 03:37:29 PM Even in Colorado, the "socially moderate, fiscally conservative" Republican is not a winning strategy. You can't hold Trump's gains in southern Colorado with that profile, and the suburban types you'd want to pull in are too far gone.

Well, he is if you consider Trump "economically moderate". Title: Re: CO-Emerson: Hickenlooper +13 Post by: Brittain33 on August 20, 2019, 10:04:24 PM I was going to merge the threads, but these are two different +13 polls for Hickenlooper.

You can't hold Trump's gains in southern Colorado with that profile, and the suburban types you'd want to pull in are too far gone. I pretty much agree with this. 2018 showed that the Democrats are not completely dead in Southern Colorado. I suspect Hickenlooper would win those counties against Gardner, and would definitely do as well as Polis, and maybe even better, in Denver and its suburbs. Gardner is also not going to do as well in El Paso, Douglas, Mesa, and Weld as he did in 2014, even though he will still win them by double-digit margins.

Gardner only barely won Larimer County last time, and if he loses to Hickenlooper by this margin, he will lose it by double digits as well, just like Stapleton did to Polis last year.

Well, he is if you consider Trump "economically moderate". Gardner has tried to project a "socially moderate" image, which is probably more important than his actual positions for electoral outcomes.

Well, instead of Gillespie getting blanched in 2020, Warner got warned in 2014.

"Which Senator can lose by the largest margin in 2020?" The answer is pretty obvious : Doug Jones who will get Pryored Title: Re: CO-Emerson: Hickenlooper +13 Post by: Alben Barkley on August 22, 2019, 09:50:47 PM Even in Colorado, the "socially moderate, fiscally conservative" Republican is not a winning strategy.

Well, he is if you consider Trump "economically moderate". Trump is economically left-leaning. LOL. Yeah, those tax cuts were super left. Trying to repeal Obamacare was super left. He TALKED/talks vaguely left leaning in terms of a general sort of economic populism that appeals to hicks who don’t like immigrants or gays but don’t want to lose their social security/healthcare, but his actual policies and actions have been far from left. Just another lie and con from the world’s greatest con artist and most compulsive liar.

Merely "cutting taxes" is not economically right-wing.

Merely "cutting taxes" is not economically right-wing. Cutting taxes by itself? Probably not right wing. Cutting taxes that benefit the super-rich overwhelming (ala 2017 tax bill)? Yes, definitely right wing. Title: Re: CO-Emerson: Hickenlooper +13 Post by: 💥💥 brandon bro (he/him/his) on August 24, 2019, 03:14:54 PM There's definitely a lot of truth to the idea that Trump campaigned on moving the Republicans to the center specifically on trade, antitrust, and preserving (some) of the social safety net.
But he's obviously still pretty ideologically conservative on weakening government agencies, deregulation, making taxation more regressive, threatening/cutting parts of the safety net, etc. Also it's worth noting that outside of trade and using antitrust to spite some rich people he doesn't like, he's done nearly none of the economically-left things he campaigned on in 2015/2016. |
