Between April 2017 and August 2018 there were 10 special elections. Democrats lost 8 of them. That didn't have to happen: In Ohio for example, 59,570 Democrat voters sat out the special vote. The Republicans won by 1,680 votes https://bloom.bg/2EINZNb pic.twitter.com/ABAIqetRwk
Much is made of Clinton's 2,984,757 vote margin. But, after considering eligible electorate growth, that's 9,275,179 votes behind Obama's 2008 showing Had she matched his numbers, she would have easily carried the needed states https://bloom.bg/2EINZNb pic.twitter.com/wYmKl0Wqfx
10 Democrat senators are up for reelection in Trump states. The last won in 2012, a presidential year, with 18,163,001 Democratic ballots. In the 2014 midterm, not even half that number made the trip to the polls. 2018 is another midterm https://bloom.bg/2EINZNb pic.twitter.com/AbVn8LbkPf
Republicans vote repeatedly and reliably, due to issues that grip them personally and politically: - Firearms - Abortion - Immigration Democrats should too https://bloom.bg/2EINZNb pic.twitter.com/ECVN3VRvK1
Alan Abramowitz at Emory University has quantified how intensely partisans hold their positions. On his scale, 51% of Republicans rank high, compared with 28% of Democrats https://bloom.bg/2EINZNb pic.twitter.com/4Sbbiuqu67
It’s not money or storefronts or consultants that turn midterm tides. Voters do. Democrats should remember that https://bloom.bg/2EINZNb pic.twitter.com/jya8rX9H2m
The Democrats have lost me forever. I used to vote D. Never again. Here's why:
Antifa, riots, mobs, stupid MeToo, Kavanaugh outrage, harrassing Congressmen, open borders, bogus Russian investigations, raising taxes, men in women's bathrooms, hating on white men
#NeverAgain
100%AGREE!!
DemocRats are Awful!
Here’s your blue wave also the democrats have nothing to run on only to keep saying they’ll impeach President Trump. Also the DNC embraced socialism which is a terrible form of government. If you look at Venezuela they poorly implemented that concept.pic.twitter.com/JAtuKKX93d
You're full of it! I don't know where u've been, but officials in some red states are trying 2 suppress votes. ie Brian Kemp in Georgia! Dems are fired up & running on Health Care & the events of today will gin them up even more! The generic Dem vote is way ahead of the GOP.
We don’t need anymore radicalized conservatives trying to hurt people like run their car into a peaceful protesting kill someone or no send suspicious packages so we will vote very wisely
What about the democrat who shot up a peaceful baseball game between GOP members? #DemocratsArentGoodEither
Awful. He acted alone not a mob led or celebrated by Dems.. Evidence he was mentally ill. Republicans never going to win arg Dems have more or equal # of violent extremists bc they don't. Repeating Hannity Ingraham Carlson Trump lies & propaganda is dangerous.
Extremists don't belong to a political party in America, because the Republicans and Democrats do not allow extremists.
Just a reminder for democrats that voting is November 7th
AND voter suppression & Gerrymandering.
Well, if they vote during the Presidential election and DECIDE not to vote during the mid-terms - that's not suppression, is it? It's, as you stated, a decision.
You have a lot of news to catch up on. I can't cover 3 months in 280 characters. But it's in GA, TX, MI & FL.
that's not suppression. Voter suppression is intentionally making voting difficult for a certain group or eliminating them completely -https://www.npr.org/2018/10/23/659784277/republican-voter-suppression-efforts-are-targeting-minorities-journalist-says …
