2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

[the next guy]

The loses can be tracked with voters disdain for saving the American Auto Industry and the desire to repeal the ACA through 2010 elections. That's the same period that tracks with the major losses.


Actually Reagan is the only outlier on the list.
The list also shows the following gains from 2008 bush to 2008 Obama :

• +24 State leg. chambers
• +869 Ste Leg. Seats
• +79 House Seats
• +16 Senate Seats

Basically all the numbers you're criticizing Obama for losing were also his gains.


So to wrap this up for you:

Obama's handling of the ACA and the Auto Bailout cost him in his first midterms. But we can also see that voters overwhelmingly gave him control of government to implement it. We've seen a similar situation under Trump. Therefore, if Bernie or Warren don't capture the Senate and Maintain the house (especially with this Senate Election map) it's not a stretch to believe it's an indictment on their major policy propositions.

If you lose 1000 seats it's on you. From 2010 - 2016 Obama for America became bigger and the DNC became smaller. As a result, the Dems lost critical seats and state legislatures. MI is supposed to be ours. Why did they go red?

Yeah not surprised to see NYT/ WaPo defending Breitbart , especially since it was Beto's campaign that told the guy to . Alot of the media especially print media has been pissed at Beto since he called Netanyahu a racist.

Regardless, fukk Breitbart.

I think Nap and those Jewish posters mad that Stacy abrams isn’t running for senate are being completely disingenuous.

She’s created two platforms one to fight voter suppression around the country and the other to help with the census. If you fail to realize how Important those things are to be able to win races from president to local offices then you’re blind. Nap acts as if their hasn’t been democratic candidates that have been able to raise their profile nationally over the past 3 years. Look at AOC she was a nobody 2 years ago now is one of the most popular politicians in the country.
