as we get closer, i wonder if support from trump's base will start to slowly erode if it looks like they're backing a loser.
If we can gain control in so many place, just in time for redistricting, that'd be pretty swell.
They'd have to believe in poll numbers first lol
I have relatives that don't follow politics at all
And still hated her

Larry Kudlow: Absolutely!
Tapper: -- and I assume that also means attendees at Trump's rally in Tulsa.
Kudlow: Well, okay, ummmm, probably so.

We didn't know he was simply projecting his insecurities on Obama... on a level I'm not sure if even he was aware of.
Wesley @WesleyLoweryThe possibility of ending qualified immunity was the measure George Floyd's family and their attorneys were most excited by in terms of the reforms being discussed in response to his death.

Trump’s Halting Walk Down Ramp Raises New Health Questions (Published 2020)
The president also appeared to have trouble raising a glass of water to his mouth during a speech at West Point a day before he turned 74, the oldest a president has been in his first term.

You know as much as I want to say the media engaging in this kind of speculation is bad for political coverage as a whole my schadenfreude is just too much

As the Press Sec said this week, questions should be asked. He had a sudden hospital trip in November and if he had his annual physical in Jan/Feb, we never heard about it.
It's especially relevant considering he ran on candidate health in 2016.

Rep. Clyburn: ’Nobody is going to defund the police’
“This is a structure that has been developed that we have got to deconstruct,” the South Carolina Democrat said.

I'd say reconstruct rather than deconstruct, but that's close. Deconstruct still sounds too much like abolish.Rep. Clyburn: ’Nobody is going to defund the police’

Reconstruct works for me. Honestly, whatever word gets it across that it's positive doesn't matter to me as long as they tear the bullshit down to studs and start over. The action is what counts, not the name, so they should call it whatever they need to to get it across the hump.
curious, can governors be impeached/has one ever?
Ducey has the be the worst one in the country right now. it's sickening that he will get away with this and we don't even get the satisfaction of voting him out since he is term limited.

They can be recalled in 19 states. California successfully did it in 2003. Only the second time it's happened to a governor in the nation's history (first time was ND in 1921).

can you imagine Biden being in the margin of error in fucking Arkansas?! Surely that would spell nationwide domination, that's almost a grotesquely huge victory
Doubtful. Very very doubtful. No need to let our hopes and imaginations run wild at this point. What we can hope for is a good shot at taking the majority.
Nope. It's nigh impossible to even get to 60 in the Senate in the best of times with our current situation.
Our House majority should stay pretty large, however. I'm very bullish on Dem House chances this next decade if we can get control of governorships and state legislatures this year with a new census and redistricting.
DMR Iowa Poll: Democrats preferred in three congressional districts, two by double digits
Likely voters in November want a Democrat as their U.S. House representative over a Republican in three of the state's congressional districts, while Republicans appear to have solidified their hold on the 4th District, according to the June Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll.
Statewide, likely voters prefer a Democrat over a Republican 47% to 42% — a reversal from March, when an Iowa Poll showed 49% support for Republicans and 42% for Democrats. Nearly all respondents who made a party choice are firm with their decisions, the new poll shows. Only 2% of either side identify as only "leaning" toward one party or the other.
12 point swing from March.

It's amazing to see Andrew Sullivan's view of electoral politics so thoroughly dismissed by real life.
What's he even been saying lately? Feel like I've read 3 things he's written since he quit the blog.
The whole "if you compromise you're a traitor" that the far-left engages in reminds me a lot of how right-wingers operate. Remember the Tea Party years?
Mix Republican/media hit machine of 30 years on the Clintons, + good ole fashion woman hating (Lots of people would say "i'm not voting for a woman) and you have a perfect storm.
With the way things are heading it looks like this election will be a combination of 1952,1980 amd 1988 in terms of the PV and EC.
The less said about Western Iowa the better.
If Dems do win 3 of the 4 districts I'm sure they'll win the Senate seat too.
I know my mom doesn't follow politics, but she really hated Hillary. I think she didn't like Hillary sticking with Bill through the sexual scandals though I could be wrong or there could've been more to that (I think I still managed to get her to vote Hillary anyway - at least that's what she told me...).
Someone on the politics focused website I post on shared a tweet from someone saying they are voting for the Green Party in November because Trump and Biden are too old.
The presumptive Green Party nominee is 67.

My mom also doesn't really follow politics and she also hated Hillary. Think she just hates ambitious women. She's smart enough to know not to tell me if she voted Trump.
Trump's random health problems are a distraction for now, but could prove substantive if he can't adderall up enough for the debate with Biden. He's set the bar low for Biden to "overperform" as far as the GOP caricature of Sleepy Joe goes, so he'll need to be in top form because Biden's going to clear that bar handily.

If Trump skips the debates, I hope rather than cancelling them, they "empty chair" him, and the networks have Biden answering questions for 90 minutes. And when the Republicans demand equal time, say that that was their time, and if they want to sue, go ahead, and drag it out in court for two years.
Sue based on what?
Those debates are agreements among campaigns and TV networks, I don't think there are any laws that govern any of that shit.
A TV network can do a 90 minutes interview with Biden and call it a presidential debate. He'll scream FAKE DEBATE FAKE MEDIA on twitter probably but that's about it.
I am referring to the "equal time rule," which has a fuzzy history, and I'm sure the GoP would argue that Trump is entitled to his own time.
Equal-time rule - Wikipedia
TBH I doubt getting sued would stop this from happening. Media seems to be fairly well-acquainted with the Streisand Effect at this point, they'd probably welcome it.
The bigger thing stopping is that... I don't think they'd view it as a good use of 90 minutes, unfortunately. Debates are a draw because they're debates. 90 minute interviews wouldn't get the same ratings.
