Where is any of this verve elsewhere? Democrats: where they'd rather shotgun themselves in the face than do anything, but to spite no one. Health Insurance Industry and money politics (cable industry that run ads, PR firms that write political ads, Political Consultants) all stand to lose a significant chunk of business under a progressive administration, assuming Congress goes along. Trump hasn't touch any of that besides his stupid trade war. Democratic National Party Inc. faced zero consequences for losing 2016 or the Congress, Governorships, and State Houses during the Obama administration, except now they can fund raise harder because Trump, funds that go right into that same failed and unaccountable industry.

SaysWho? Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 What has surprised Democrats most in the race, however, is the fact that Republicans have largely abandoned the pro-tax reform messaging that national operatives called central to their 2018 strategy just months ago. "There is no positive outcome in November if we do not show that we cut taxes for the middle class and are working to make their lives better. Period," Congressional Leadership Fund executive director Corry Bliss wrote in a memo earlier this year. That strategy has not played out in the special election, however, where the Ryan-aligned outside group has spent much of its time on air linking O'Connor with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Quote At the same time, Democrats have increased their focus on the tax bill, which Republicans -- with Trump's backing -- passed earlier this year. After showing people around Balderson smiling and laughing, a narrator in the latest DCCC asks why they all look so happy. "It's because Balderson supports a massive corporate tax break that helps rack up $2 trillion in debt," the narrator says, going on to argue that the tax bill could mean cuts to Medicare and Social Security. "Troy Balderson, that's not funny at all," the add concludes, showing a laughing Balderson. Quote "I voted for John Kasich the last three times. I voted for Trump because I didn't like the way things were going in Washington, and now I'm supporting Danny O'Connor," Shannon Ward, a 40-year old mother of two from Delaware, Ohio, says in the ad.

SaysWho? Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 http://time.com/5349541/stacey-abrams-georgia/ Quote On the other hand, if she can pull it off, the implications would be profound, not just for Georgia but for the whole region and potentially the nation. Ever since Bill Clinton won re-election in 1996 with a strategy of triangulation, Democrats have tried to win in Republican territory by appealing to white centrist voters. The idea was to combine them with the Democrats’ base, but it frequently left white voters cold and the base unenthused. Abrams’ campaign is built on the proposition that a compelling candidate can get elected in the South with a progressive message that attracts liberal whites and minorities to the polls in greater numbers. If she’s right, Abrams could show the wilderness-wandering Democrats a new way, says Ilyse Hogue, head of the abortion-rights group NARAL. “We’ve seen women run like men a lot, and Stacey is not doing that,” Hogue says. “The script of how you run for office has been determined for eons by white men telling everybody else what to do, and Stacey Abrams said, ‘No, thank you.'” Her campaign isn’t just a playbook; it’s an act of imagination. And so, like any unprecedented effort, there’s a good chance it could fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 Blue-state Republicans in the northeast are popular except for Vermont's governor, who is in a competitive primary likely due to a gun control law he signed. Quote But Scott might get voted off the island. While he had a 65-21 approval-disapproval rating among Vermonters in the first quarter, he has fallen to 47 percent approval, 42 percent disapproval in this week’s findings, tarnishing his both-sides-of-the-street cred. The likeliest reason for the plummet in his popularity is a landmark gun-control law he signed in April amid protests in this historically gun-friendly state. The new numbers cast doubt on the widely held assumption that Scott will cruise to re-election in 2018. But if he is indeed in danger, it may be in the Aug. 14 GOP primary rather than the general election. That’s because his popularity has eroded dramatically among Vermont’s Republicans, dropping by 26 points since last quarter. According to Morning Consult, Scott amazingly now has a higher approval rating among Democrats (who approve of him 61 percent to 31 percent) than Republicans (who disapprove 56 percent to 41 percent). If he survives his primary challenge from a pro-gun business owner, Scott still starts in a good position to win the votes of the state’s many Democrats.

PaladinSolo Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 NBC/Emerson poll has Scott Walker down 7, making it the second poll in the last week showing him vulnerable. With Dems +10 on the generic ballot as well. Probably not just a coincidence that the Koch Brothers are now saying they'll work with dems who share their "values," and i'm sure some will take them up on that offer as well.
