HP. His predictions and reasoning are some of the most absurd I've ever seen.
Hasnt this been exhausted already. The Dems arent gonna win landslide elections like Solid, Zaybay and Massguy have 12 or 15 gov mansions
Actually, 12 gubernatorial pickups for Democrats isn't that absurd. Republicans are stretched pretty thin this cycle because of all the wins they had in 2010 and 2014, which has left them with a bunch of open seats during a Democratic wave. It is correct to say that incumbent Governors are generally harder to beat, but open seats are a different story.
That being said, I think 12 is probably where Democrats max out. It would have to be a truly historic landslide to sweep more than that. You could even argue that 12 itself would require a massive wave. If Republicans didn't have popular Govs in VT, MA, MD and to a lesser extent, NH, this would be a lot easier for Democrats to achieve. Those states are usually gimmes for Democrats in such an environment.
