One GIGANTIC leap BACKWARDS for America. Christ, a man who openly discriminates against the LGBT community, denies evolution, an avid bible-thumper, and an active proponent of the birther community is about to become a senator. Even Marine Le Pen would be horrified.

By how much did Trump win this district?

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Both Trump and Farentholdt won the district by 24 points btw.

So combined vote so far-

GOP: 58.2%
Dems: 40.8

So far we are looking at around a 7-point swing from 2016

Let me warn you of what I believe are two losing courses of action for the Democrats

1. Attacking ICE, attacking officers, and seizing offices.

2. Accosting Republican officeholders in public or at home.  That is especially true when the officeholder is a woman.  Keep accosting Attorney General Bondi in Florida.  See how that helps Nelson win re-election.

We don't do any of that.

Besides, I highly doubt that will influence the voter, who wasn't going to vote in the first place, to vote for the GOP.

lol who are you talking to? I didn't.

Yankee is just shouting into the void.

No, you did not do it.  Allies did.  Maxine is encouraging it.

I hope you keep believing these actions will not effect Democrats negatively.

They won't. The shooting in Annapolis sure didn't make the GOP look good, if we're going off of your standards.

O'Connor has a decent shot at pulling off the upset

And why do you say that?

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Thanks everyone! Here's today's updated numbers:

Not high enough for the Dems. They’re gonna need to hit 75, because E-Day is devastating for them.

Most analysts say the number O'Connor needs is 60%...

This is a must win, although it maybe difficult with Trump approvals in Ohio to win

His approvals in Ohio are not great.
