    This year was never in play for the senate, it actually looks like the democrats are going to lose a couple of seats actually.

    2020 will be a different story however.

    The house right now is a toss up.

    The good news though is that even if the democrats take the house Trump still has two years to keep packing the courts with his judges even though any other legislation will essentially be shut down by the democrats in the house.

    More like they will lose 4-5 Seats. Now all of those House seats they were looking at. Isn't looking so blue anymore.

    Out democratic senatorial candidate has shifted to the right, yet again. The Senate Majority leadership are now running adds though using one of his most famous quotes in our state:

    QUOTE: "The great thing about taxes is you get to take away money from the people".....

    I think his "shift to the right" won't be able to overcome that quote.....

    We'll see who sent the bombs, them well know a lot more.

    If Hillary's bomb had blown up, we could have been fairly sure a Democrat sent it. Now it's a mystery.

    If Hillary's bomb had blown up it could have been one of about a billion people including the entire population of Haiti.

    Democrats know they cannot get the Senate, so they are maximizing victory in the House and are doing amazingly well

    538 lol, no wonder since 2016 you've been such a loser.

    Try an actual betting site they know a damn site more than you and your very poor propaganda sources ever do.

    libertymonkey does not get it, and if he keeps reading, I doubt his ideological partisanship won't get it.

    RCP, 538, etc., got it right. They said that Clinton would beat Trump (she did), that the Senate and the House would stay red (they did), and so forth.

    What those polls cannot do is predict the EV. But not to worry, lm, there is no EV at all in this election.

    What the polls are saying is that House will go blue, the Senate red, and the Dems should take the majority of governorships that are up for grabs. I am no so sure about the last prediction.

    Actually, yes polling does predict Electoral votes. In the same way they predict the Senate and the House.

    Any polling company doesn't know how elections work probably isn't smarty enough to do a good poll.

    MAGA, in the post above, mistakes the purpose and how of polling.

    But I will allow him to convince us by finding and using objective, standards sources that "polling does predict Electoral votes." His opinion is not evidence, so I am asking him to proved such a source that polls cannot predict EV outcomes.

    https://www.newsweek.com/hillary-clinton-track-electoral-college-landslide-510362

    Excerpt:

    If the election were held this week, the project estimates that Clinton's odds of securing the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the presidency at more than 95 percent, and by a margin of 118 Electoral College votes. It is the second week in a row that the project has estimated her odds so high.

    And MAGA who condemns Newsweek as an objective standard uses it as a source for his non-sourced opinion.

    My initial response was too brash. I apologize.

    The fact is that you made an allegation that electoral polling was either not possible or not done. I just just proved your assertion false. Deal with it.

    The Dems will have to blame Obama for the poor midterm showing. He left Trump with too good an economy. Supporters will be unpleasantly surprised when the tax cuts for the rich only take effect next year and the nations biggest employer, the us govt starts cutting back and the traditional
    GOP lead recession ensues . Voters get just what they asked for. They have the biggest swamp ever.
