The two Senate seats Democrats picked up Nevada and now Arizona were the two states President Trump did not visit during his final sprint of rallies. Could he have saved them by rallying his base one more time? A top GOP official tells me: No. They lost because of him.

(31,261 posts)If Gillim and Nelson come from behind to win in Florida, and the Georgia Governors race goes to a runoff, Trump is going to lose his shit bigtime. The walls of the White House may have to be padded, or the Secret Service put him into a straightjacket to keep him from hurting himself.

That's Tester, though teaser may apply as Comrade Trump was teased into thinking he could do in Tester.

(33,342 posts)They worked for two years to make people miserable and then tried to feed lies about it in the run-up to the election.
TrumPutin just helped remind people what would be in store if they didn't get out and vote for their own interests. McConnell helped flip seats, too, by threatening to pay for their billionaires' tax cut by draining Medicare and SS.
Democrats who ran on making people's lives better, won, in general.

(135 posts)The last few days he went to states where he is popular (Missouri, Indiana, Florida). All three likely won. It was not by accident he stopped going to those two.

(14,565 posts)Reid had a statewide recount scare against John Ensign in '88 and always realized Democrats underperformed in Clark County especially in midterms.
I lived in Las Vegas from 1984 to late 2008 and still visit a few times per year. It was incredible how much the Democratic outreach and canvassing improved, beginning in 2006. That was like a midterm test drive for Reid's re-election fight in 2010, which he won by upset against Sharron Angle.
Polling now typically understates the Democrat in Nevada midterms, when pre-2006 it was the other way.

(6,008 posts)... Just think about what it will be like in 2020, when you're facing a less favorable map and trump will actually be out on the campaign trail and his name will actually be on the ballot... Do you think that be an asset or a liability?
