Rate Delaware Senate Primary

[Left Wing]

I rate it as Likely Coons. Scarane's fundraising hasn't been very good and Coons got a boost from the convention. Unfortunately I think he will beat her pretty badly. The only reason I don't have this as safe is the Data for Progress polling from December. It sucks. Coons needs to go.

[TiltsAreUnderrated]

At this time, safe Coons. Scarane entered late in the credit card state without much support and has failed to even boost her name ID to sub-Andrew Romanoff levels so can't hope to match the score seen for the 'generic progressive D'. There's no time left to turn that campaign around.

[Roll Roons]

Safe Coons. Delaware is a blue state, but its politics are fairly moderate. It is not full of crazies like NYC is. Plus Coons is taking the threat seriously. I think he'll get at least 65%.

I think crazy is an understatement, I'm insane.

I wasn't even aware that Coons was facing a primary challenge until seeing the writeup for this primary on RRH Elections yesterday. And interestingly enough, both Coons and the state's incumbent Governor, John Carney, are described as "establishment liberals" with "mild moderate tendencies", which may or may not be a fair description. Coons himself has always been an inoffensive Democrat who votes with the party, but who tries to seek consensus and works well with his colleagues. I recall that he tried to persuade Jeff Flake-whom he was apparently good friends with-to vote against Kavanaugh in 2018, an effort which obviously failed.

Safe Coons, sadly. He'll be a major impediment to getting rid of the filibuster come 2021.

He also said something along the lines of "women are more emotional". I can't find the exact quote but it was something along those lines. He also voted yes on some judges who wouldn't commit to standing behind brown v. board of education and took tons of money from the Fraternal Order of Police.

Yikes. You East Coasters are wild.

He literally said he'd vote to end it if keeping it means Biden can't get his legislative agenda passed, so why are you spewing blatant misinformation?

And isn't Coons a close confidante of Biden's? So I'm sure they've discussed the issue behind closed doors.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

You people are out of touch asf, that’s why Coons will win.

[ProgressiveModerate]

I feel like Coons won't be a bottleneck in a Biden presidency. Leave that to Sinema and Manchin!

[😥]

Safe Coons. He will win by a very big margin. He is a great Senator.

[VAR]

Safe Coons.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Safe Coons. Delaware is a poor state for progressive insurgents.

[Canis]

Likely Coons very close to safe we've had quite a few upsets this year and we haven't had a poll of this race since December but Coons is definitely favored

[chickentitilater]

Gonna stand out here and vote lean scarane, mostly because someone has to.

[NewYorkExpress]

Likely Coons.

If Scarane had gotten resources and support form organized progressive groups she might have been able to pull off the upset, but she didn't.

Chris Coons 67%
Jessica Scarane 33%

[Never Made it to Graceland]

Safe Coons. Delaware is a poor state for progressive insurgents.

Most slave states aren't

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

Likely Coons, just shy of safe because of the lack of coverage/polling. Coons may be the luckiest man in politics, but once he got that luck he did what he needed and will likely hold the seat as long as he wants.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

I think Chris Coons wins his primary 69-31 today

[Suburbia]

Safe Coons

Coons may not even be a Senator in 2021, Biden may give him a Cabinet position

Mike Castle would have lost in 2016, like other blue state Republicans....Kirk, etc.

Mike Castle wouldn't have been up for re-election in 2016.

Castle was a state institution and if he ran for re-election, he likely would have won any year. Especially as he would have voted more like a centrist Dem. GOP did a massive own-goal.
