Tiberius Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 It's very possible that Trump's toxic brand of politics could deliver a Democratic majority to power and ready to move on issues like climate change, guns and stuffing the supreme court ? Quote Democrats are feeling bullish about their chances to win a Senate seat in Georgia in the wake of GOP Sen. Johnny Isakson’s decision to retire. The announcement, Democrats argue, gives them a golden opportunity to expand the Senate battleground map heading into 2020 and chip away at the GOP’s Senate firewall. Nikema Williams, the chair of the Democratic Party of Georgia, immediately pledged that the state would be a must-watch “battleground” in 2020, saying after Isakson’s announcement that it “has never been clearer that the path for Democratic victory runs through Georgia.” The Isakson retirement complicates life for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who is doing everything in his power to keep the Senate majority in GOP hands. Democrats need to pick up three or four seats, depending on which party controls the White House, to win back the Senate majority. Though Republicans are defending 22 seats compared to Democrats' 12, most are viewed as safe bets for reelection. That leaves the Senate battleground map limited to a handful of states including Arizona, Colorado, Maine and North Carolina, where GOP Sens. Martha McSally, Cory Gardner, Susan Collins and Thom Tillis, respectively, are on the ballot. Republicans view Alabama, where Sen. Doug Jones (D) is running for reelection in a deep-red state, as their best chance for a pick-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 what's the GOP/Dem split for incumbents? it was something like 26 Dem or so of the 33 the last time didn't bother reading the post, 110% metaphysical certitude it would suck, but just wondering... -------------------------------------------------------------- and back in the Nixon and Reagan/Bush years the media wisened up it was a GOP POTUS landslide and instead concentrated on the House and Senate, as that that was what REALLY mattered. but that's sooooooooooooo boring....

SoCal Deek Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Excellent! I assume that means we can get back to sending our enemies boxes full of cash and passing laws that we have to pass before we know what’s in them. Business as usual again in America. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 ....seeing the tremendous progress in the House led by the Dems, I can see the Senate turning blue to extend control to those whose ONLY purpose is the "people's business".....like the Allstate guy says, "you're in good hands with ...Democrats"......the general electorate is THAT fickle......
