The Republican is probably going to win, but by a much smaller margin than the GOP is comfortable with.

The Dems have a better shot in Georgia and Montana.

Yes it might be too early to use these results to think about the midterms, but remember, there are off year elections this year. Especially taking back the NC State house. NC has rampant voter suppression and crazy gerrymandering. Increasing voter access might make NC lean blue in 2020.

While Gerrymandering have been a problem in damn near every State controlled by Republicans, North Carolina, along with Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, really seem like the worst offenders and they are examples of how you turn blue States red by building up your State Party, winning State Houses and then suppressing the vote.

I really do hope that Jerry Brown, through back channels, informs the RNC and the legislatures in NC, PA and WI that the California nuclear option is in the works and that our deep blue State can create a 28 seat swing in the US House of Reps and there i nothing that Republican voters in California or in any State can do to stop it.

I haven't been keeping up in here, can somebody inform me about this California nuclear option?
Thanks.

California has 53 House Districts and because it is a very blue State, Democrats control 39 of them. However, Republicans still control 14 districts and it mostly because California draws it House districts in a non partisan way.

In 2018 or 2020, California could have a referendum to change that and to allow the California legislature (which is heavily Democratic) to draw the districts and it would be very easy to Gerrymander those 14 Republican districts out of existence.

I've travelled to and lived in many foreign counties. It is really hard to make people understand how beloved Obama was by the world. It's also hard to make people understand how interested the world is in us politics. George bush set back us relations, and Obama was able to mend them. Trump is making us all look like fools.

This is too well written and too thoughtful for anybody in the administration to even care in the slightest bit.

Being in Soutb Africa for 2 weeks, even with all the Zouma craziness going on they were very interested in what's going on here.

I've literally been to 3 international cities with bars or restaurants named after Obama.

Heading to Kenya in a couple of weeks.

Flourish my friend, the yams will be had.... Why Kenya though? Just curious, if I had my choice of east africa, ethiopia here I come....

 

[rexanglorum]

He golfs, watches cable news, laments how soft the Country has become and he doesn't work and he lives in Florida and says "the blacks." Donald Trump is the first retiree president.

He breaks barriers, cathes a lot and has life lock's premium service package.

I was hoping to see a repeat of that during Trumps speeches. Dude getting burned with that by his own people.

And then he turns around and doesn't listen to a word they say about the ACA

 

[rexanglorum]

Do it Mitch!

I'm sick to my stomach, five straight wins for decades of suffering.

The D'Angelo crew is like the unprotected sex of NBA teams. One night of pleasure for a life time of pain.

Good homey just got a new gig at BCG (black excellence ), so he's kicking back and heading around Africa for a few weeks before he starts up over there. I'm going to link up with him on the Kenya stretch.

More info on the yambs, doe. I went to South Africa with my pop, uncle, and his wife. I was getting a few of looks and chicks was trying to rap with your boy once they heard me speak....

But I was 23, broke, and never been out the country... And a little intimidated, no lie.

I'm a little more seasoned now at 27.
