AOCrocks's JournalBill Maher is being Debbie Downer tonight
He and the NYT guy are really negative.
Well the NYT guy is a conservative, so that explains why he was try to down the Dem victories.
But why was Maher so down on Warren.
Trump's 2020 woman problem
Why it matters: Trump is underwater with women voters (64% of women view him unfavorably), and particularly among white suburban women — a group that will be critical in 2020. Look for Democrats to turn to their top 2020 female candidates after Tuesday’s election. A record number of women are running and a record number of women are expected to vote and win come Tuesday.
Trump vs the superstars: Even though they're unlikely to run, both Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey would crush Trump if the election were held today, according to the poll conducted by SurveyMonkey.
And both women lead by double digits in favorability. Trump's favorability is just 40% among registered voters, per the poll, compared to 62% for Obama and 55% for Winfrey.
Trump vs. the rising stars: More probable but lesser-known candidates — Democratic Sens. Kamala Harris (Calif.), Amy Klobuchar (Minn.) and Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.) — would all beat Trump, too.
But name recognition is a factor. A near-majority of registered voters said they didn't know enough about Harris, Klobuchar or Gillibrand to be able to rate them as favorable or unfavorable.
Still, of these three women, Harris would beat Trump most handily — by a 10-point margin — if the election were held today. She polls well with African American and white suburban women, but not with #NeverHillary independent registered voters.
Klobuchar polls best with white suburban women, and would beat Trump by 9 points.

Great episode of Doctor Who everyone needs to see in the age of Trump
https://ew.com/recap/doctor-who-season-11-episode-3/The Democratic Party
gave us Social Security, Medicare & insurance for preexisting conditions, defeated Hitler and landed a man on the moon. What has the GOP done for lately?
Andrew Sullivan is really spewing BS
on Bill Maher tonight.
God love Soledad O’Brien for not letting him get away with it.
The Dem candidate for Congress in my district spends more time
attacking Dems than attacking the GOP. Not sure I can support this guy. What is really making it difficult is that our republican representative has voted more with the Dems than the GOP. He voted against the tax cut and the repeals of the ACA. I really don’t know what to do.
Met Steve Kornacki today.
Came to my office to do a presentation on the midterms. He is far less hyper in person.

Hillary Clinton was not the 'lesser of two evils'
I am so sick of hearing this from those on the purity left.
Watched Chris Hayes show last night and he had some people that didn't vote in 16 and the reason they gave was that they didn't want to vote for the 'lesser of two evils'. That is total BS.
Hillary Clinton would not:
- Separate parents seeking asylum from their children.
- Sign a tax bill that is a giveaway to corporations and billionaires
- Cut environmental regulations
- Appoint far right wing judges like Gorsuch and Kavanaugh
- Cut ACA funding
- Insult our allies while bowing down to Putin.
There is no way Hillary Clinton was the 'lesser of two evils'. Those who refuse to get off their high horse of their "principles" to do the right thing for their country are as much of the problem as those on the right. They need to grow up and realize that elections are not all about them needing to feel inspired. Voting is a responsibility and civic duty.
All Federal officials and employees take an oath
to uphold the Constitution:
They do not take an oath of loyalty to or blindly obey the leader.
I know that many here are concerned by yesterday's NYT Op-Ed that many un-elected federal officials and/or employees are not following the orders of the current elected President, calling it a coup and shadow government.
But isn't this how a democratic republic should operate. Loyalty should not be to the leader, that's how dictatorships work, but to the law, specifically our constitution.
