Well, I went and voted @ the county courthouse today. It was pretty quick, only a few folks in line in front of me, so was in and out in about 10-15 minutes. My county is very red so only the few statewide races on the ballot had multiple choices. The vast majority were local races with Republicans running unopposed and Judges vote to retain or not.

 

You live in Auburn as well?

Not looking good for Republicans, but the President thinks he's helping with stuff like this.

The White House won’t even try to explain Trump’s fictional inflation numbers

@aloha-hoosier What's fascinating about Trump is that he's been lying through his teeth his entire adult life, but the dishonesty always seemed to serve him well.  Finally, it appears, the chickens are coming home to roost.  Even a good chunk of his former supporters are getting wise to the constant con, the bullshit, the whole shtick.  I think a game-changer was when he started with the "affordability is a hoax," a "con job" and "a fake word" lie several months ago.  You can't con people into believing their wallets are full when they're not.

The more fascinating thing about Trump is that so many of his MAGA supporters repeat his lies as if they believe them wholeheartedly. I can only assume they do, which is why I just can't help but thinking these MAGA people are among the dumbest among us in the GOP. I think they've reduced the collective IQ of the entire party. 

Don't get me wrong, I've spent a lot of time over the years talking about the stupidity of the moonbats within the Democratic party, but I have no problem laughing at them and enjoying doing so. MAGAs, on the other hand, are embarrassing to my party and that makes them very different. Frankly, it makes me dislike the MAGA wingnuts even more than Democratic moonbats.

12-point swing, among non-MAGA Republicans, from +7 to -5, in just the last month.

I don't believe for a minute those percentages translate to actual voting odds, but they would seem to be a good indicator of people's perception of sentiment. Still long odds to get the four flips we need. I'd bet we get three at most.

@unclemark Alaska will be getting all the goodies if Murkowski is the 50th deciding vote.

My biggest concern in the Senate is stopping Trump judicial appointments. I doubt she'll join the Dems on that.

@unclemark why?  No one should want the crazy people (I.e. dems) on the bench. They’re mental. You want them imposing their personal views or stability and predictability predicated on text etc. the worst s.ct. Justices are the loony libs.  

if Dems want to be crazy people fine.  Do it from the legislature

Betting markets are a mostly a joke I see two races on that sheet dems will win and thats it. I remember when hong was at 98% on election night. The pollsters started to come back to reality today like they always do two weeks out from and election with three of now now at d plus 4 for the generic ballot. They have to now start to look legit and the propaganda polls have to now go away.

Republicans already know who they want to blame if they suffer big midterm losses

You should pay attention to the latest generic ballots suddenly it got way tighter like clockwork. Happens every cycle.
