One can’t take the talking heads on television or in print seriously from either side because they are using the same formula that were used in 2016.
I sure do hope you are right. This Texas Beto Cruz race has me sweating bullets. I know some think there will be a red wave versus a blue wave..but I am not convinced. I am hoping for a strong red wave. My country (Texas) needs to stay red.
 
Checkmate.

In a memo to Senate Republicans, Mitchell details nine main points she says raise questions about the credibility of Ford's account. She concludes no prosecutor would bring the case, nor is the evidence sufficient to prevail even in a civil trial.

"In the legal context, here is my bottom line: A "he said, she said" case is incredibly difficult to prove. But this case is even weaker than that," wrote Mitchell.

Mitchell cited Ford's inability to pinpoint when the alleged assault took place, her struggle to clearly identify Kavanaugh as her assailant by name, lack of key details like how she got to the party or where the party took place and inconsistencies in her account of the encounter as areas of concern in her allegations.

Mitchell's report says that Democrats and Ford's own attorneys were "likely affected Dr. Ford's account."

Tennessee is going to be really close too. The Dem was governor and liked by all. He is for universal health care though. That should hurt him. He leads in some polls.
 
They were all convinced Hillary was going to win in a landslide too. Even got all the news to believe it. How'd that turn out?

Hope your right Gaz, if the dems win either or both houses they are going to be embolden to the likes we never seen before.

Well, it will lead to gridlock, to be sure. And severely handicap any good moves Trump might have had in the next two years.

I just happen to think that the silent majority that elected him, is being even MORE silent since all the furor after the election, and all the nonsense entertained by all this SCOTUS circus. When it's said and done, it's about who actually shows up at the polls on election day. In a mid-term election.

Also, the thing about this "silent majority" bit, is that folks may SAY one thing, VOTE another. Because behind the curtain, there's no repercussions. So you can say you voted however you like, while getting your real agenda through just fine.

Example, there's a race in my state. Sitting Dem senator, been there for decades. Now his GOP challenger (our current gov) is an evil sum bitch too. No good choice here. I feel I have to vote GOP here, as much as I hate the guy, just to a) satisfy my "throw the bums out" feeling on incumbents, and b) get rid of a Dem in the Senate. I frickin' hate to do it, and won't publicly acknowledge that as my choice, but it is what it is.

I know people didn’t want to admit voting for Trump, but do you think they still are not wanting to admit that they are voting for republican?
I admit, I told Beto I was voting for him when I received a text from his campaign. I lied... but it is none of their business. I don’t know how many people would have done that. Almost everyone I know said they were contacted by his campaign and said they weren’t voting for him. ... but there are PLENTY of yard signs out for him. Most of the homes that have them out are people that are 30+ years old. I don’t say a lot about the elections unless i know someone is voting republican. I don’t want to encourage the democrats to show up at the polls.

Yep.

Better still. Not even mentioning the midterms at all. The best thing a Dem voter can do this year is stay the hell home or be at work instead. (in my opinion)... A vote for gridlock is a vote for insanity. You may not like Trump. Hell, you may hate him with a passion. But that doesn't change that he's getting stuff done, and in NO time. I remember Obama joking about Trump needing a magic wand....to do the things he's ALREADY DONE so far.

To want to put a halt to that, to me, is just downright insane. Even if you do have to put up with his tweets.
 
@DrPrepper I agree, I don't respond to Democrats plea for donations. I get emailed at least 3 time a day, saying the world is coming to an end and they need more money and my donation will be triple matched. I let them think what they will but I will vote against every Dem running for office. If the swamp is going to get drained, we need the keep control of the swamp.
 
In the last primary I voted for Bernie. Now before you pull out your proverbial shotguns :) ..let me explain. I wasn't for Bernie, but I wanted a race that didn't include Hilary Clinton. I can't stand that woman. I mean I truly despise her. My thought process was to vote for Bernie in the primary in hopes it would be Bernie at Trump and Trump would win. I didn't think Bernie would win against Trump ( Bernie is too radical). I find Hilary to be a dangerous person. I have watched ever since she was Billary in the White House. Hilary won over Bernie anyways in the primary. It turned out to be my worse nightmare, Hilary with a real chance at being president. I voted for Trump. I remember on voting day I felt like it was a formality voting for Trump (because I just knew Hilary was going to win). Much to my surprise, he won :) So I guess that is how I got on the Democratic mailing list because I voted for Bernie in the primary.
 
I don't have a clue how I got on their mailing list but I do love reading all about their inability to meet their donation goals. I register as a independent, so somebody has a fake email list and is selling bad info to the democrats. This is costing them to waste even more money, one reason I have not stopped their emails. :p:D

I wonder if they are hurting for money because they spent so much on trying to find dirt on the Russians?
 
Before this SCOTUS nonsense, I was actually going to vote to keep one of our Dem Senators. I hate both of them, but the GOP candidate is even more distasteful.

Now, after this, I simply don't want to even give the Dems THAT consideration or edge. Congratulations Dems, you made me change away from the one Dem I was going to vote for. Good job!

Like i mentioned yesterday. Many here like the Dem running for Senator. I had a long talk with my husband. For us that was about 1 minute....... and explained how important it is to keep Pelosi and Schumer away from the podium.
 
I think TN will see through the Bredasen scam . Everybody I know that is not a dedicated democrat kow He's a Schumer plant . He is waving that free stuff flag and East Tn may go His way of course Memphis will .

I hope so Psalm. I'm sure you've seen his ad with the Republicans saying how He crosses the aisle etc. He was a well liked Governor. I hope Trump's coattails work for Blackburn

How can all the conservatives get on the lists and help drain the swamp?
