2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumCruz and Mc Cain have both defined how important the senate elections are.
With Republican control of senate, all of Hillary's judge appointees will not even be voted on. Two past candidates for President of the U.S. are stating what their ideas are. No mistake, this is what they will do. Mc Connell is proud of his obstruction of the Garland nominee. If we get a majority, then Mc Connell will not have that total power. It is no mistake that this has been talked about now... Then if it happens, they, the Republicans can say, well this was brought up "before the election. You knew what was going to happen"..But it was presented in this somewhat obscure way.at the end of the election cycle, while other events were happening...
So..GOTV to take the senate. If we take the Senate, instead of total deadlock on court appointees, Hillary will be able to appoint judges, just like other presidents have done. .(except this last Obama appointee) We must take the senate, because they are telling us what they are going to do now. The Republicans are talking about total obstruction of all court appointees that Hillary will make. That is my opinion for what it is worth...

(113,003 posts)It's considered a toss up right now, but, it will mean control of Senate when we win.
I think some folks might be getting sick of me ringing the alarm bell, but, we can win this even with all the GOP's manipulations focused on this state.

(38,403 posts)..No one is "sick of ringing the alarm.." We need to take the Senate in any way possible in order to stop their total obstructionism ...Rather discuss this now, then when it is too late, and the Republicans obstruct every appointment. And they really don't give a s**t what the country thinks..Proof of that is the Garland appointment and closing down the government.
