After the big three, Arizona is the next most likely state to flip in 2020 presidential level wise. More than Iowa, Ohio, or Florida.

Rhode Island will never be anything other than a solidly Democratic state at the Presidential level.
I agree with this.

A hot take of my own:
The biggest swing to the Democrats in 2020 will come from Obama-Trump areas (fight me)

There’s no excuse for this type of thinking after both 2016 and 2018.

It is not logically impossible for Wisconsin to vote to the left of Michigan or Pennsylvania. In fact, it's more likely for that to happen than for Trump to win Wisconsin while losing Michigan/Pennsylvania by 5%.

George H. W. Bush was an opportunist to the core, and any talk about him being a "gentleman in politics" can be tossed aside on account of his 1988 campaign.

Agree 100%, plus there's the fact that George H.W. Bush turned out to be a sex predator and originally ran for Senate as a fiercely anti-civil rights candidate.

Anyway, unpopular take: AOC has generally proven to be a rather incompetent politician who likely only got elected through dumb luck.

Cannibal Holocaust is one of my favorite films of all time, and I consider it better than, say, Citizen Kane or The Godfather.

Spring foliage is far prettier than fall foliage.  We are near the peak of the spring bloom right now, and ai far prefer it to the dying leaves in the fall.

Since Bernie Sanders is a Jewish male, then that means his penis is circumcised. There, now you’re thinking about a 76 year old Jewish man’s penis. You’re welcome.

If I could have my way, I cannot it is impossible, Pakistan and India would have to trade their last holdouts of minority populations. Hindu areas of the Pakistani part of the Thar desert should be given to India, and the Lakshadweep islands, Indian Kashmir, and muslim area of Jammu should belong to Pakistan.

Philippe Petain contributed far more to the Nazi war effort over the course of World War 2 than any other individual in the world, and its an absolute disgrace that his death sentence was not followed through upon during circumstances when other people whose crimes were far less significant and severe were being executed.

Not a single person who was tried over the course of the Nuremberg trials following World War 2 was even nearly as morally depraved as Philippe Petain was.

The only personality in the entirety of World War 2 who could give him a contest on the topic of the most morally depraved person throughout the conflict was Adolf Hitler himself.

It does not matter one bit what the composition of the Supreme Court is at any moment for this to be true. It would be true if the Court was 9-0 left wing. It would be true if the Court was 5-4 left wing. It is true with the Court being 5-4 right wing. It would be true if the Court was 9-0 right wing.

Anyways:

If you think that court packing is an inherently problematic practice and/or that court packing should be banned through an amendment to the constitution, or anything similar,
Then that indicates that you have absolutely no respect for constitutional separation of powers, nor any respect for the preservation of democracy itself.

One vote doesn't make a moderate an extremist (example: Susan Collins and Kavanaugh).

This is only bold on Atlas, Maine still loves Susan Collins and she’ll win, regardless of Atlas’ insistence that this is Tossup/Tilt D

But I mostly agree with you, which is why Ben Nelson is a moderate, he made one bad vote on the ACA and everyone’s opinion of him soured and he immediately become this “Obama-Reid-Pelosi rubber stamp”, if he had voted “NO” on the ACA, he probably would still be a Senator and he would be viewed as a true centrist rather than a somewhat moderate

North Carolina's Senate and Presidential races will be well to the left of Georgia's in 2020.
