Funtatlaguy's JournalMorning Joe pollster saying Scott leads Nelson?
Tom Bevan of Real Clear Politics was just on MJ and said Scott is currently leading Nelson but he didnt give any specifics.
Anybody seen or heard any recent reliable polling?
We are all Danny O'Connor today.
If you pray, meditate out good vibes, send out good feelings to the universe.....
Please do so today for Danny OConnor and the people of Ohio District 12.
What a win it would be for us and what a loss it would be for Trump and his deplorables.
Oh, Danny boy......the votes, the votes, are coming.......
Identity politics/demographics
I listened to a Dem strategist this morning.
He was saying that the era of Trump is making the electorate even more polarized.
He said that Trumpers are becoming almost exclusively white males over 40 with no college degree
He said the older and more rural and more religious they are, the more likely they are to be a Trumper.
College educated suburban women under 40 that once identified as strongly Repub are abandoning the party because of their dislike for Trump. Many wont vote Dem but just wont vote.
Unmarried women under 40 are almost all Dems or Independents now.
The hold your nose 👃 voters are starting to struggle more and more with Trump.
They know he is a liar and they think he is an embaassment. They hate his trade policy and cozying up to Russia.
These are the wealthy, educated Repubs who hate Trump personally but they love lower taxes and business regulations and business friendly corporate Judge Nominations.
These people are now open to voting for a pro business type moderate Dem such as Phil Bredesen in Tennessee.
Paul Ryan and Maxine Waters
I know Ryan is weak.
I know he cow tows
I know he prob wants a media or lobbyist job after retiring.
But, this thing with Trump and Waters has gone far enuf.
Ryan as Speaker has a responsibility to defend all House members from such attacks.
Ryan needs to publicly, or at least privately, tell Trump to knock it off.
Its beyond the pale for a Prez and a leading member of the House.
When will the "Russian coincidences" stop being coincidental?
Is is just me or with this gang, why is it always the Russians?
Where did all of this come from?
Whats the genesis?
Trump needing money from Russian banks, oligarchs?
Wanting hotels in Russia?
Beauty pageants in Russia.
A Russian/Ukrainian mobster Manafort who was Trumps manager who changed the GOP platform.
Trumps obsession with Putin. No transcript of meetings in Helsinki.
Oval Office meeting with Russians. Why?
GOP Congressmen traveling to Moscow. Why?
Russian connections to the NRA thru a female spy who uses sex.
Seriously?
Can this really just All be coincidence or something much more nefarious on both sides of the equation?
And, whats up with all of the former Russian hawks in the GOP that now sound like borscht lovers?
Will we ever know whats happened and is still happening before its too late??
Should I beat the rush and buy a Russian 🇷🇺 flag?
Please support Bredesen/Abrams vs the vile Blackburn/Kemp
If you live in a safe blue state and you have a few dollars to spare or time to make a few phone calls for a candidate In November, please look to the southeast.
The completely disgusting Trump lackey GOP House Rep Marsha Blackburn won her primary last night in Tennessee. She will now face former two time popular Tenn Gov Dem Phil Bredesen in The general to replace retiring Bob Corker in the U S Senate.
Yes, Bredesen may be a little busy friendly for more progressive Dems like me. But, hes as liberal as you can get in Tenn and still win. And, Blackburn is as far right economically and socially as they come. She completely backs Trump. Google any of her speeches or commercials.
Early polling shows Bredesen with a slight lead. Please consider helping him.

As for the Governorships, please go one state down from Tenn into Georgia.
Self described rootin tootin redneck nra lover Brian Kemp is the current Sec of State. He has been all about voter suppression against people of color. And, now, ironically enough, he will face a black woman in November. Georgia state Rep Stacey Abrams is vying to become the nations first black female Governor. Kemps tv ads show him teaching a teenager all about using shotguns. He is fully backed by Trump. Stacey is an unabashed progressive who has worked to increase voter registration.
Early polling shows a dead heat.
Please consider helping her.

The arbitrary September deadlines for Mueller/Kavanaugh make me sick.
So, let me get this straight....
The GOP says they must get an up or down vote on Kavanaugh by September before their fall recess and before the fall SCOTUS session. They say that just must happen to save the Republic just like we had to wait 11 months to replace Scalia because (oh, the Biden rule).
And, let me get this straight....
The DOJ says it must not release Muellers report if it is completed between September and November.
Because?..... thats their tradition before elections....unless it isnt (Comeys Hillary statement eleven days before 2016 election).
So, basically the rules are rules except when they arent (and they just happen to help the GOP and hurt the Dems). Yep. Thats completely fair and balanced and acceptable.
If Im wrong, please tell me.
I feel like Up is down and down is up with the political world right now.
I feel like all of the crooks and crazies are in charge and we sane people are helpless.
Maybe November 6th will turn things around. Thats really all we have.
Yeah, this guy is a con man.
Thats what Im waiting to hear from some family and friends that voted for Trump.
None of them are quite there YET.
But a few are starting to question SOME of what he says.
Does anybody have an uplifting story of a Trumper in their life who has seen the light?
