Comey gives the congress to the GOP

[UCmeNdc]

How do you like those apples?

[mindfulNJ]

1. A bit premature don't you think?

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. There are ten days until the election and the tide is turning against Comey.

[UCmeNdc]

2. Comey knows what he is doing.

He did this on purpose to move the football toward the GOP's goal. If he transforms the FBI into a partisan public institution , Comey is ready to take the political heat. This was a hail mary by the GOP and Comey knows it.

[Hortensis]

16. He knows what he's TRYING to do. There's a difference.

It's not over until it's over. And we do not know how America will respond. Dirty tricks often backfire on the Republicans.

[awake]

3. We need to push the story of asking why the FBI is not looking into Trump's ties to Russia

And their break in to the DNC's emails.

[semby2]

5. Answer

Their answer will be, "We don't comment on current investigations"

[Hugin]

9. or... "Releasing that information within 60 days of an election might interfere with the democratic

process."

Gak!

[Mr. Ected]

26. More like, "Releasing that information within 60 days of an election may interfere...

...with the democrat process".

[LeftInTX]

42. Exactly

And if he is pressed about Friday's correspondence he will also say, "We don't comment of current investigations".

[Cha]

4. It ain't over till it's over and I don't like all this

Game Over Man!

[RelativelyJones]

6. I doubt it

I think this fires up people who weren't voting Clinton or Democratic anyway. My only hope is fires up people who may have been complacent about the Clinton victory.

[Cosmocat]

7. Hillary is going to be OK, but this very well could cost the senate

fucking the supreme court ...

[Grey Lemercier]

17. a quick tour of the crucial Senate races

These are all pre Comey ratfuck

each of these races is so hard too call, and each one is pretty different from the next



New Hampshire Senate - Ayotte vs. Hassan

was uptrend for Ayotte


RCP Average 10/17 - 10/25 -- 48.0 45.3 Ayotte +2.7
Emerson 10/23 - 10/25 600 LV 50 44 Ayotte +6
Monmouth* 10/22 - 10/25 401 LV 46 46 Tie
NBC/WSJ/Marist 10/20 - 10/24 768 LV 48 47 Ayotte +1
UMass Amherst/WBZ* 10/17 - 10/21 772 LV 48 44 Ayotte +4


Pennsylvania Senate - Toomey vs. McGinty

was uptrend for McGinty
I detest the pig Toomey, he is a fucking bigot

RCP Average 10/10 - 10/26 -- -- 45.7 45.3 McGinty +0.4
Emerson 10/25 - 10/26 550 LV 4.1 45 43 McGinty +2
NY Times/Siena 10/23 - 10/25 824 LV 3.4 47 44 McGinty +3
Quinnipiac 10/10 - 10/16 660 LV 3.8 45 49 Toomey +4



Nevada Senate - Heck vs. Cortez Masto

was uptrending for Masto, until the Marist poll (which is the highest rated by 538 of these, slammed it reverse)
impossible to say who will win, I will project my obvious desire and say Masto


RCP Average 10/20 - 10/25 -- -- 45.0 44.5 Cortez Masto +0.5
Gravis 10/25 - 10/25 875 RV 3.3 50 44 Cortez Masto +6
NBC/WSJ/Marist 10/20 - 10/24 707 LV 3.7 42 49 Heck +7
Las Vegas Review-Journal 10/20 - 10/23 800 LV 3.5 45 44 Cortez Masto +1
KTNV/Rasmussen 10/20 - 10/22 826 LV 3.5 43 41 Cortez Masto +2




North Carolina Senate - Burr vs. Ross

was uptrending for Burr

RCP Average 10/20 - 10/26 -- -- 46.3 44.5 Burr +1.8
Quinnipiac 10/20 - 10/26 702 LV 3.7 48 47 Burr +1
Monmouth* 10/20 - 10/23 402 LV 4.9 49 43 Burr +6

PPP (D)* 10/21 - 10/22 875 LV 3.3 42 41 Burr +1




Indiana Senate - Young vs. Bayh

deffo trending up for Young, grrr
less than 90 days ago Bayh was up over 20 points
this one is my biggest disappointment, but Indiana is full of racist loon RW bible bangers, the Bayh name might not save him

RCP Average 10/3 - 10/24 -- -- 44.5 40.8 Bayh +3.7
Gravis* 10/22 - 10/24 596 LV 2.3 39 37 Bayh +2
WISH-TV 10/10 - 10/16 544 LV 4.8 49 43 Bayh +6

WTHR/Howey Politics* 10/3 - 10/5 600 LV 4.0 42 41 Bayh +1



Missouri Senate - Blunt vs. Kander

Another reallllly hard call
This is THE race I most disagree (mainly with the size of the % for victory he gives Kander) with Nate Silver on (61% in a red state where Clinton is dropping)
Blunt has been consistently ahead until a couple semi new polls (one was a large outlier in favour of Kander)
now it seems dead tie
my heart says Kander wins, my head says Blunt (gag)


RCP Average 10/9 - 10/26 -- -- 45.7 44.7 Blunt +1.0
St. Louis Post-Dispatch 10/24 - 10/26 625 LV 4.0 47 46 Blunt +1
Emerson 10/17 - 10/19 600 LV 3.9 44 44 Tie
Monmouth* 10/9 - 10/11 406 LV 4.9 46 44 Blunt +2




All in all ( I was, a month ago at Dems 53, ReThugs 47, then a week ago Dems 51, Thugs 49)

I think it looks like (gun to my head and taking into account bullshit fallout from Comey ratfuckery)

New Hampshire Senate - Ayotte vs. Hassan Ayotte
Pennsylvania Senate - Toomey vs. McGinty McGinty
Nevada Senate - Heck vs. Cortez Masto Cortez Masto
North Carolina Senate - Burr vs. Ross Burr
Indiana Senate - Young vs. Bayh Bayh
Missouri Senate - Blunt vs. Kander Blunt


which leaves a 50/50 tie


all are soooo close, we NEED TO GOTV!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cosmocat]

40. Thanks for the breakdown

It would be ideal to be at least at 51-49, but as you laid out, the margins are so thin this bullshit could derail it.

[stonecutter357]

8. you seem very concerned.

[awake]

11. And you are not concerned?

[stonecutter357]

12. Are you concerned that i am not at all concerned ?

[awake]

14. Since this is none of your concern why are you on this thread?

[Demsrule86]

23. It is obvious that many of you are using this to attack our nominee...and the replies

clearly demonstrate this. But who cares? This is a nothing issue and all the breathless concern and pearl clutching (faux) won't change that nor will those of you who have a different purpose succeed. We see those who support Sec. Clinton and we see those who do not...quite obvious really. So I am with her and sincerely hope we take Congress...I think we will get the Senate. The House was always a longshot. Enjoy your 'concern'..hey here is my fainting couch.

[awake]

24. WTF Hillary will need Congress to pass laws and if was lose the chance to gain back the Senate

We are screwed. For the life of me how you feel that I do not support Hillary is beyond me. Comey is a Right wing tool trying to sink our party 11 days before the election how can you not be concerned?

[vdogg]

32. Was looking for the hair on 🔥 smiley, but alas, they got rid of it.

We're doomed, doooomed I tell ya!

[Demsrule86]

33. This is about not supporting the nominee...and I read your posts.

Negative would be an understatement. There are some here, perhaps not you, who are not supporting Hillary Clinton and they skirt the rules and post constantly negative stuff. We see it almost every day...many post OP's about their efforts at JPR...there was one who did about five posts last night.

[awake]

36. Please do not paint everybody with same brush

If you have a problem with someone else please share your concerns with them and not assume others hold the same negative view.

[Monk06]

13. James Comey has guaranteed two things One in two weeks he will be looking for a new job and

two, Clinton will be under no obligation to play nice and appoint another Republican to the position of FBI Director

Comity is meaningless to the Republicans Reach across the aisle and you get your hand cut off for your trouble

I also suspect he contaminated the prosecution of the Maleur 7 in order to lose the case

Meanwhile natives in North Dakota get mauled as usual by the racist Feds

[yardwork]

19. Agreed on all points.

[metroins]

29. Racist feds?

What?

[randome]

15. Sounds too made-for-TV-ish.

All Clinton needs to do is point out how erratic Trump is because he jumped on this the instant he could and now, less than 24 hours later, it turns out to be nothing.

Say it with me: Trump is too erratic to be President.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]Never stop having childhood dreams.[/center][/font][hr]

[Dem2]

18. Cut it out

We really don't need self-fulfilling prophecy crap right now

[Coyotl]

39. ^^ thread winner ^^

[Demsrule86]

20. I find that bullshit and honestly think you should delete this.

[smirkymonkey]

37. +1000

[UCmeNdc]

21. GOTV!

If you want to overturn the GOP's apple cart!

GOTV!

[NCTraveler]

22. Depends what the next couple of days bring.

We at DU overreact to everything. How does this story continue on Monday is a big deal. Not saying you are wrong. I am saying this might be an excellent enthusiasm kick in the ass that will help us big. It's too early to make a grand determination/assumption.

[geek tragedy]

25. Obama needs to clean up his own mess and fire Crooked Comey Nov. 9 nt

[Cha]

27. I bet it's killin' him

[geek tragedy]

30. Yep nt

[lonestarnot]

28. I think you're wrong.

[beachbum bob]

31. not neccessarily so...email and email relate issues is a big non-issue for 65% of the country

[Demsrule86]

34. I never like your apples.

[anamnua]

35. I think concern trollism is beginning to make an unwelcome appearance. nt.

[Coyotl]

38. Actually, Trump is giving the Congress to the Dems.

And that is why they are at "code orange" on the panic scale.



The best way to detract from their nothing burger diversion is to make the obstructionist Congress a huge issue.

[Lucinda]

44. Yep. n/t

[RonniePudding]

41. Looks like the apples are full of shit

What a dumb OP. Defeatist nonsense.
