Wouldnt think too much of that - in fact, I wonder if that kind of in your face thing isn't going to backfire this time around. I saw something similar around here not that long ago during local elections. There was almost zero correlation between the overwhelming number of signs in support of Trump cultists, and the eventual outcome.

Don't visit neighborhoods populated by capitalist pigs Cello
I was thinking more along the lines this is a neighborhood likely older in age and Fox News airs preeminently inside.
Heidtkamp is toast I feel.
Menendez in NJ is a toss up.

Best wishes to Kander.
ND is gone.
Dems need one of TX and MO.
Dems need one of TX and MO.
They will need to win TN, AZ, NV and hold serve in MO, FL, WV . Texas is a longshot that shouldn't be relied on.
agree.
Need newer polls in TN especially.
The kavanaugh confirmation or otherwise needs to be done with soon so the Dems can run on health care.
The House is still more important.
It's too late. They spent 2 years obsessed with Russia.
This Kavanaugh confirmation has taken some wind out of the sails. Polls are tightening.
Hopefully The Dems get back on message about health care. In any case the Kavanaugh vote will come pretty soon.
Heitkamp is toast.
If everything remains the same, Democrats win Missouri and Lying Ted wins Texas, how will the final results be? 50-50 with Pence deciding everything?
Heitkamp was in a difficult position anyway. Very Republican (despite being a Democrat) to energize the Democrats, while Republicans were going to vote for a Republican nominee most of the time.
Btw, wouldn't these polls be biased in favor of Republicans (being from Fox and all that)?
Republican in tight reelection voted against Obamacare — but now swears he cares about it

So, as things are Dems need to win at least 2 out of TN, TX and Missouri? They are currently tied on Missouri and losing on the other two races. It doesn't look good, but to be fair, chances of them winning were always going to be slim.
Still hope for a surprise on TX.
Still hope for a surprise on TX.
They need to not lose any seats (highly improbable since Heidtkamp looks in big trouble and McCaskill is pretty much even in MO) and gain a few seats (most likely in AZ and NV, with outside shots in TN and TX).
At this point literally anything can happen - the Dems could finish as high as 51-49 or the Repubs could get as high as 54-46.
Repubs galvanizing behind Kavanaugh has resulted in bump in the polls
This cnut did it with Garland and he's doing it with Kavanope. Meanwhile, we tell ourselves that this nomination process is going to hurt the Republicans.
Kavanaugh's theatrical performance during the hearing probably enthralled Republican supporters. "He cares for us!" "He's a Godly man!"
It will hurt them in the long run since its the Dems how will be animated to vote about this and a number of other things related to Trump.
I've been forced to watch several hours of Fox for the past few days while visiting family - its a non-stop shower of praise on Kavanaugh, mocking of Dems pursuing whether he threw ice on someone decades ago, and questioning Ford's integrity.
I'm not surprised. This is how some citizens see a man's man, ya know. And anything to hammer the Dems of course.
Too bad each GOP politician isn't asked, "What if this was your sister, or wife, or mom stating such against a sitting judge?" (They'd either not answer or would deflect somehow)
You are right, but this long term is turning out to be kind of a Liverpool win. Always around the corner
Turtle face is an evil genius. Everyone hates him (or at least dislikes him) but he seems to get stuff done. He send obstruction tactics on next level during Obama years, and that helped Republicans to win all elections. Not surprised when they'll win the senate again while we continue talking about a blue wave.
On the other hand, what he has done will have catastrophic consequences for US. His obstruction essentially made both parties completely partisan (which didn't ever happen before), and both his denial to get a vote for Obama's judge and the usage of nuclear option for SCOTUS has opened the Pandora box. I will laugh hilariously if Dems win the senate and then Trump fires AG, only to realize that the senate is not going to appoint the new one. If this insane partisanship continues, it is definitely possible that a president which doesn't control the senate won't be able to appoint cabinet members, SCOTUS and district judges making the governance very difficult. All thanks to this cnut who couldn't stand a black man as president.
I mean, the Senate is still probably theirs even with a 'blue wave'. If they still hold onto the house then the Dems should be worried.
I really respect him and people like him (there is one in India too, his name is Amit Shah). I don't understand the disdain people have for crooks like them. They understand politics and elections and are committed to their vision. OTOH, you have Chuck Schumer (or Rahul Gandhi in India)...
Yup, we were talking about a supermajority for them the night of Nov 6 2016. That the most likely outcome right now is Dem breaking even in the Senate and get the House is already fairly good.
Granted, they will still get their judicial appointments but otherwise their policy agenda will get stymied plus guarantee for Mueller to continue his work.
Because he makes the lives of millions of people more difficult on daily basis, by pushing his crooked agenda?
He is good at what he does - no doubt there - but at the same time very harmful for an entire nation.
What he meant is their method.
They understand that politics is a fight for supremacy, that what we have now is tyranny of the majority and we aren't living in utopia where everybody hold hands and settle their differences in pursuit of the common good. They stop at nothing to achieve and stay in power to serve their agenda, while liberals and the left are too busy squabbling against each other and arguing for decency and restraint in fecking politics.
Sure, but many people hate his tactics not just his agenda. He has a worldview, that religion and unregulated business are always the right answer, and he'll do his best to implement that and stop social liberalism and regulations or safety nets.
Sorry to pick this out but considering that the majority didn't get their president und the intent behind the general senate election system that's not sounding true.
I think the only reason people are getting galvanized is because we are in election season now. Their are loads of annoying ads on telly and flyers getting posted in the mail. People are just getting bombarded so know a bit more about it now.
Agreed, but I subscribe to the notion that people individually get galvanized by different things like for example the prospect of a SC pick.
I'd be surprised if many people even know the details beyond the headlines.
I think the polls will get back to 'normal' after the Kavanaugh vote.
Either way I think ND is gone.
My gut feel is Dems get 50 but hopefully 51.
The majority under their arcane election rules.
I don't blame the Electoral College at all.
Otherwise no one will visit the Mid West states.
Even though Hillary was a terrible candidate, Trump won by fluke.
It works.
In the span of 16 years, it happened twice.
Clearly it does not work.
As for those all important Mid West states, Washington DC and Puerto Rico has a thing or two to say about representation.
Well, the fact that it's actually a minority that is doing the suppressing makes your point in effect even stronger. That there shouldn't really be suppressing. Electoral reform should be considered.
