See the thing is with the Senate elections in 2018.. Which ones are going to flip?



Apart from Nevada none seem that likely to me and Nevada won't be enough to regain control.

Plus there's a lot of blue which makes me nervous the Dems could even lose some.

2018 will be about governor's mansions and the House. The main goal for Dems is to hold on to as many seats as they can in the Senate! Then take it back 2020.

Arizona is 11 points, Georgia is 16

Iowa is 6


Ohio is 18

If Democrats want an idea of what to prioritize over the next 4 years when push comes to shove

Interesting article about not voting and freedom of speech!

I'm sorry but this is stupid. Every vote matters even in blue or red states as we've seen from Michigan and Pennsylvania flipping red.
75% of young people not voting in the 2010 midterms is extremely worrying. Young people are going to keep handing the right-wing election wins on a silver platter with this sort of thinking and that author is dangerous in normalizing that. WaPo and their desperation to appease millennials that knows no bounds.

Ohio and Iowa are officially lost for good. Arizona, North Carolina, and Georgia are the new battleground states. PA, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and Florida are still very much in play as usual.

Texas is still about a decade or two away from us, unfortunately.

Finally Arizona's being woke

Dem losing by 90,000

Recreational marijuana losing by even less

Arpaio voted out (and soon to be indicted)



Jan's weave holding on by the smallest of follicles



Don't mess this up, DNC, the chance is there.

Ohio always switches. Trade killed Clinton's chances here as well.

I don't think Trump or any politician will be able to revive it the way they promise. A lot of America's success was/is situational and the landscape is changing.

You're right. I just don't see how anyone can come back from a 9 point win (the biggest for any Republican or Democrat since GHWB in 1988) in one or two election cycles unless it's a landslide. Prove me wrong Benard.

Can't wait until GA and NC get more electoral votes. Gwinnett County flipped blue; the GOP's southern strategy will be replaced by the Rust Belt strategy.

Gwinnett is becoming a diverse county, in terms of all of the ethnicities that live there. I'm more shocked that Cobb went blue tbh. There are definitely hardcore conservatives there

It seems Maryjane wasn't who she said she was in AZ and was also sabotaged by ha smokers



According to David Wisniewski of Safer Arizona, a pro-legalization group, 205 was flawed, and he voted against it. “In my opinion, what happened here was similar to what happened in Ohio a few years ago. This was not written for real decriminalization — it still has prohibition in the background, specifically centered around growing certain amounts,” Wisniewski says. Prop 205 "still maintains predatory provisions. It is all about making money for dispensaries.”

Arizonans for Mindful Regulation offer a similar claim, that Prop 205 represents "fake" legalization because it features less-permissive rules than the AZFMR plan proposes regarding possession crimes.

So now MJ fans are writing a better proposition for 2018. Get those taxes, gorls.

Yes, he's also making the case, as an example, that if you're ignorant you should stay home. That's gonna convince millennials to stay home when we all know older white demographics could care less about being ignorant. In a perfect world, only informed people would go to the polls. Otherwise, that article is dangerous especially as the world keeps getting more and more ignorant to foreign and domestic issues...

I CAN'T WAIT till Trump turns his back on their kind. And he WILL, because he's an elite and has been an elite his entire life. So once things get frustrating for him he'll turn on them like he did with the press, women, Muslims, and latinos.

I understand the appeal to having self-actualized, successful businessmen in charge of the country, but the major issue there is that most of them got there by stepping on the little guy. And old habits die hard.

girl he's white and a Rep

like he said himself, not even MURDER would deter these people from worshipping him

To be fair. Non voters tend to be less educated. Less educated tend to vote for Trump. You want them voting? I know that's textbook reductionism but still.

It used to be laid back some decades ago then more conservatives from the east moved in and then snowbirds from north of the state began perching there

Millennials tend to vote democrat so I don't really care if they're ignorant re: the candidates.
