[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Wow.

The blue wave is dead because Texas said so

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Wow.

Dem votes: 639K
GOP votes: 200K

The blue wave is dead because Texas said so

Reminder: Primaries don't mean sh!t when it comes to the general election.

Dems got outvoted in Virginia primaries in 2016 then proceeded to outvote GOP 2-1 in 2017.

Yet Northam only did 4% better than Hillary did.

Primaries basically don't mean anything. Beto still has a chance of beating Cruz regardless of the primaries, and just because dems win the primary vote in IL-12 does not mean it will be an easy pickup (although I think they have a decent shot).

I know that. I was just mocking the media's spin on the Texas primaries and that they somehow mean DOOM for the Democrats.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Guys, I was just mocking the media's Texas primaries spin. I know that turnout figures in primaries are useless.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

How long until we get the "BLUE WAVE IS DEAD" headlines because of the GOP advantage in raw vote in Ohio?

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Ok, so according to the raw vote count, more Dems voted than Reps in NC-02 and NC-09, both held by the GOP.

Incumbent Robert Pittenger (R) is TRAILING challenger Mark Harris in the primary 45-50%

In NC-11, held by Republican Mark Meadows, the raw vote count has the GOP beating the Dems by only 2,000.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Are total votes in primaries a good indicator of general election?  cuz Democratic totals in Indiana and Ohio suck.

No, but I honestly think the vote totals for the individual congressional races are.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Looks like Pittenger could actually lose

Predictions: Morrissey wins WV-SEN, Renacci wins OH-SEN.

Lol no

Better not be going off of raw vote total making that prediction.

Pittenger now down 5.4

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Pittenger losing in NC-08 is excellent for the Dems. There won't be any incumbent advantage for the GOP in the race.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Pittenger losing in NC-08 is excellent for the Dems. There won't be any incumbent advantage for the GOP in the race.

Harris is also an insane mother er, so GOP voters didn’t completely disappoint

Thanks for the consolation prize, crazy people

Mmmmm excellent!

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Interesting, in raw vote count, the Dems beat the GOP by ONE in NC-09.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Are total votes in primaries a good indicator of general election?  cuz Democratic totals in Indiana and Ohio suck.

No, but I honestly think the vote totals for the individual congressional races are.

Not really... they can be very inaccurate. Extreme example, but the democrat in WV-03 got more votes in the primary in 2016 than they did in the general.

True, but remember it is West Virginia. More Dems in the state but their vote Republican.

Yeah, I think Pittenger is done. He hasn't budged in the last 10% of precincts that reported.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

If Pittenger loses, NC-09 automatically becomes Tilt D

I know you guys warned against using raw vote counts in primaries to predict the general, but the Dems are almost 10K ahead in the district.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

With only 18 precincts left, and IIRC all of his strongest ones are out, I don't think Pittenger can close that gap.

You guys can publicly shame me, like in Game of Thrones, if I'm wrong though.
