Good riddance, GOP evildoers!

1. Only with GOTV! Lives depend on it! nt

[LBM20]

35. Can't only by GOTV. Has to be PERSUASION. The Dem Party needs a strong, clear MESSAGE!

I think the message should be HIGHER WAGES AND GOOD HEALTHCARE FOR EVERYONE! (These are the two biggest issues that work for us. (Others could be: MAKE AMERICA SANE AGAIN! or A GOVERNMENT THAT BELONGS TO ALL OF US! or RECLAIMING AMERICA FOR THE MAJORITY! or FIGHTING FOR AMERICA'S WORKING FAMILIES!)

Whatever it is, it needs to be short, clear, strong, and compelling. Not just some bland crappy thing like "A BETTER DEAL." My god that SUCKS!

I like HIGHER WAGES AND GOOD HEALTHCARE FOR EVERYONE EVERYWHERE! All Democrats, progressive or centrist, can agree to it. It gives voters something tangible for their vote. And they are our two biggest issues. We win on healthcare and on the economy when we talk about higher wages. Too many people are working multiple low wage jobs.

2. Great, but those aren't votes --- yet

We're going to have to do whatever it takes to get massive turnuot.

[Blue_true]

8. Just remind anyone who are thinking we may have enough votes.

November 8, 2016. There is NEVER too many votes, let's bury the assholes. Take this country back to sanity.

[coti]

3. The young folks need to vote. And Russia hasn't had their full say yet.

[Golden Raisin]

4. Nice to contemplate but I'm not counting any chickens until they're hatched.

[ggmac0427]

43. Agreed

It's easy to sit on your rear end and tell someone how you're GOING TO vote, another thing to actually get out there and do it.

[FirstLight]

5. Don't buy it!

It's how they get us to slack off and then we get run over by them....

[NewsCenter28]

6. GOTV in overdrive yes and work in overdrive yes

But I am supremely confident it is a Dem House majorirty come November!

[FirstLight]

10. I certainly hope so too... but

as my Grandma said "Hope for the Best, but Prepare for the Worst"

my hope is tempered with the knowledge that this corrupt Govt is beyond what we are capable for imagining...

[Blue_true]

7. Finish!!!!! That is all that matters. VOTE!!!! Screw polls. nt

[regnaD kciN]

9. 11/7/2016 - Hillary Clinton win probability: 98+% (Princeton Election Consortium)

Besides, that’s just one poll — the 538 rolling average has us up by a little under 9%. And it’s estimated that gerrymandering gives Republicans a baked-in 8% advantage, so we're just barely above that.

[sandensea]

17. Good points there.

Hillary herself said it best: We have to run like we're 10 points behind.

And she wasn't kidding (when does she!).

[KansasKali]

11. Did he adjust for Russian hacking?

I think he forgot to do that in 2016.

[sandensea]

19. How do you say 'Bingo' in Russian!

That, I think, is what that bevy of GOP senators was doing in Moscow the other day: They were there to get Putin's personal assurance that his hackskis would steal the 2018 midterms for them.

[sarcasmo]

12. Beto and lying Ted are even. #BlueWave

[Demsrule86]

27. That is unbelievable...so awesome...can't stand Cruze.

[radius777]

13. The alt-right/Russians will try to sucker punch us again,

and I hope Dems are ready for it this time.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

The Russians worked overtime in the 2017 French election to destroy Macron and get Le Pen elected. It failed however, as the French are an informed and savvy electorate who saw through it.

[Demsrule86]

28. First of all if the election is not close ...very hard to steal...the best way to win is to GOTV.

And remember the GOP/Russian operative telling you Democrats suck ....even here...are working for the other side. Disregard every word they write, tweet or say.

[CentralMass]

14. 13% isn't massive.

[OliverQ]

16. Maybe not, but rough estimates say about 7%

on the GCB is enough to make Republican gerrymandering actually work in Democrats' favor. If we actually maintain 13% through November and that is reflected in the votes, it's definite Senate and House flip territory.

[Demsrule86]

29. Yes it is...it is massive.

[Pepsidog]

15. Dems are going to vote this treasonous bastards back to hell

[blue-wave]

18. This is

nice and pleasing to see, but I'm going to be a spoiler here.

We did this in the last election. Most polls showed Hillary winning up to election day. And what happened? I think we all know. Stop rejoicing at poll numbers and get out there and register voters, work a precinct or a Democratic call center. And oh, if you have the means donate. But do not become overconfident until the returns come in on election night. Republicans literally take politics as a form of war. We should too.

[Demsrule86]

30. No we didn't do this in the last election...16 was a shitshow which I hope showed most

Democrats the dangers of message voting and how the parties are not the same...in this case, the courts will do it. In order to stop Trump judges, we need the Senate a spread like this means we have a shot...double down and work very hard. we can do this...fired up and ready to go.

[Dopers_Greed]

20. This is good news, but...

The individual races matter more.

We must make a net gain of 2 senate seats. Otherwise McTurtle is at the helm again.

I'm getting concerned about Florida and Missouri.

[Demsrule86]

31. It is going to be tough... no doubt -bad year for us in the Senate...but we have to try for the

courts. This is why I am against primarying sitting Dems...spend the money on the Senate.

[Dopers_Greed]

42. 2020 will be just as bad

Nearly all Senate seats up for re-election are solid red.

So Repubs are going to control the Senate until at least 2022 if we don't take it back in November.

[Demovictory9]

21. if only we were voting today

[Scurrilous]

22. K&R

[flying-skeleton]

23. All good is BULLSHIT if people ....

......... if people don't bother to show up to vote !!!!!!!

[Hekate]

24. Not until all the votes are cast, and most importantly, not till all the votes are counted...

There's a heavy hand on the far-right side of the scales these days.

GOTV. Keep working.

[TheFrenchRazor]

25. so in other words, repugs will win by 1-2%, in all the important places. nt

[Demsrule86]

32. No, as specials have shown...the GOP will lose in areas that are suprising in my opinion.

[Midnight Writer]

26. Put me in the "don't bet the farm on it" camp.

[Demsrule86]

33. Put me in the enthusiastic, 'we can do it ' camp.

[Demsrule86]

34. It never fails to amaze me how some want to fight a battle that can't be won like the Kavanaugh

appointment. But when the Senate is in play. and that is a fight we have a chance to win...some are not enthusiastic or optimistic-this could stop Trump's judges and evil policy cold.

[beachbum bob]

36. we need to be well over 50% and then the GOP will be going, oh crap...

since real campaigning doesn;t start until after Labor Day, this number looks good

[Meadowoak]

37. Put me in the "get your ass out and vote, even if you think we have this all sewn up" camp!

[Meadowoak]

38. Put me in the "vote like your life depends on it, because it does" camp.

[kentuck]

39. What will they win?

A sock with a piece of coal in it?

[dalton99a]

40. GOTV and kick their asses to the curb

[mcar]

41. GOTV!

[kimbutgar]

44. I'm not getting excited until I hear on election night that Dems took the House and Senate

[workinclasszero]

45. GOTV Dems like we are 20 points behind!

Don’t let up on the damned GOP!

Let’s make the blue wave a tsunami this fall!!

House and Senate!!

[triron]

46. What is their polling methodology, sample size?
