Democrats Poised To Take The Senate

[PoliTalker]

The Cook Political Report is considered the best source of indication of the current political situation, referred to as the go-to place to know where things stand:

“Something remarkable would have to happen for Republicans to still have control of the Senate after November,” remarked one GOP pollster. “It’s grim. There’s just so many places where Democrats either have the upper hand or are competitive in states that six months ago we wouldn’t have considered at risk.”


Almost 100 Days Out, Democrats Are Favored to Take Back the Senate

Trump is not popular. GOP Senators are trying to distance themselves from him.

Hello jacksonsprat22,

With good reason!

Hello jacksonsprat22,



With good reason!

They prevented him from being removed from office. But they still know he's not the leader of the GOP>

What a good point.

They can try to distance themselves from DT all they want, but they can't distance themselves from their vote to acquit him.

All their opponent has to do is run advertising that reminds voters of that screw-up. They had the chance to end his presidency right there and they decided he should remain.

But he is the leader of the GOP. Trump is the natural progression of 60+ years of Conservative grievance politics. You don't get a Trump without a Palin, and you don't get a Palin without a Bush the Dumber, and you don't get a Bush the Dumber without a Newt, and you don't get a Newt without a Reagan, and you don't get a Reagan without a Nixon, and you don't get a Nixon without a Goldwater.

WASHINGTON — For Senate Republicans, it’s now all about self-preservation.

As their grip on the Senate majority teeters while President Trump’s political standing plummets, their fate could well be determined by their ability to produce a sweeping pandemic recovery package before the election. But their frantic attempts to do so have so far produced little more than deep division in their ranks and with Mr. Trump — not the place they wanted to be 100 days out from a decisive race.

Agree. I use Reagan as the source. He spent his life in politics and whined about government being the enemy.

Can leftists start formulating their excuses now?

I like this bit from your link:

"We wrote four months ago that the worsening pandemic, along with Biden emerging as the Democratic nominee instead of Bernie Sanders, was the “perfect storm” Republicans feared. Now, with the death toll nearing 150,000, the environment has gotten even worse for the GOP, prodded along by Trump’s missteps. Racial injustice protests after the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery in early June further galvanized the nation, leading to rapid cultural shifts against Confederate monuments and even the long pushed for change of the Mississippi state flag, which still bore the Confederate battle flag emblem.

"Taken together, that’s not just a perfect storm for Democrats, but perhaps a perfect tsunami. “The bottom fell out for us at the end of May and June,” with worsening numbers continuing into July now, one national GOP strategist looking at polls across the map bemoaned. "

Watch for increasingly ugly and enraged posting from our RW friends here and elsewhere.
