Don't believe the Happy Harry's about the House vote on Tuesday.
The sad fact is we thought we had it in the bag in '16. It was not until after that election that we saw many, many problems I don't have the time or care enough to list right now. I'll just say that we can look ourselves.
There is no doubt in my mind that Russian trickery and Trump/GOP treason, cost us PA. I know this because I voted in PA for Hillary and, just like every PA voter, I voted on a touch screen that left me with no ability to verify that the machine recorded and transmitted my vote accurately. I also, know that when I voted in 2014 for Gov. Tom Wolf, I was voting with the majority of PA voters in a mid-term election, for the nerdiest, most anti-Trump-like person in our state.
These facts are still looking me in the face.
So, from my own close look at elections in PA over the past 25 years, I came up with my own rough number of about 3%.
We need to out-vote the PA repugs by at least 3% to ensure victory in any random sampling of the '18 PA vote.
Do you think we are tough enough to come up with "cushion" of 3% in PA, or anywhere else in the USA, on Tuesday?

this time. It's going to be a blowout, not just due to democratic turnout, but also because the people trump is counting on--republicans--I don't think they're all going to vote the way trump expects. I think the registered republicans who are not struggling through an untreated mental illness are 100% disgusted with trump and will show their disapproval at the polls. For every victory we get next week, add 3 to 5 points to it to get the true margin.
I've been vote stalking all my friends and family and every single person I've checked has voted already. Including first time voters.
Last election, people were smug in the knowledge that trump would lose (not me, but millions of people who voted 3rd party or stayed home). All the bullshit about trump becoming presidential, etc., has fallen by the wayside. Nobody is dumb enough to think that will happen. We've seen his ugly evil nature in full view. This piece of shit can't even contain himself in the wake of tragedies. He is absolute scum! There's no tax cut in the world that can justify the bullshit/ emotional assaults this nation has endured on a daily basis for the past 3 years. That clown has probably robbed me of a year or two of life and beauty FFS!
That's still the proper answer. Yes, we need to outvote them because we have to beat the point spread. Can't do that if we don't vote.
