Americans are sick and tired of being sick and tired with Trump's nonsense, and his apologists and enablers in the Republican Party.
Paul Ryan is welcome to stick his head in the sand and encourage members of his party to do the same. Fill your lungs with sand — please, be my guest!
There are 119 Republican-held districts that have a lower R PVI than PA-18. Democrats need to flip 23 seats if my calculations are correct. The last Blue Wave in 2006 saw a House pickup of 30 seats – and Democratic enthusiasm then was not as strong as it is now.
Without the Senate, though, Democrats will still be in a losing position. We have to stop the tide of radical right-wing appointments.
Anyone have an estimate of how many of the Senate contests this year have a smaller Republican lean than what was seen in this district? Maybe someone should ask Cory if he knows.
Cory is too busy trying to figure out what he said about the Cornyn amendment. Call back later.
Here's a great map of those 119 seats.
Notice that they are a mix of rural, midwest, southern, texas districts, which reiterates the point about making sure your messaging works locally.
Notice that CO-03 and CO-06 are on this list. Crank up the good candidates!
119 Vulnerable Republican House Districts
One analysis I read said the largest shift away from Republicans was in the suburban precincts. If that analysis holds up, it's more really bad news for Coffman.
Lamb raised significantly morein direct campaign contributions than did Saccone, but outside spending on the GOP side swamped the Dem combined total. We won't know the final figures for a while, but it's likely Dems were outspent by a factor of between 2 and 3 to 1.
And they can't chalk this up to the GOP candidate being a pedophile. Saccone may have scored somewhere between Lamborn and Tipton in the charisma department but he was a presentable candidate.
Lousy on policy, but his credentials were rock solid. This was definitely an enthusiasm/message/anti-Trump combo.
Saccone was strongly anti-Union. I don't think that plays well with white working class union households.
That makes him a horrible candidate for a Midwestern district with a union tradition.
Rick lost because of his “porn mustache”.
I thought maybe it was because of all those Canadian illegals who swam across the border to vote for the Democrat (. . . and deal some maple syrup)?
Also, for those wondering… the AP had not called the race as of the morning news. Absentee ballots are still being counted. However, Pennsylvania is one of those states that limits mailed ballots to those with a defined need; there aren't that many absentee ballots out there.
And over half the absentee ballots are from the Democratic-leaning Allegheny County 🙂
And, IIRC, the absentee ballots from R-leaning Washington County favored Lamb.
Vox: it's official, Conor Lamb has won.
For definitions of "official" which are not official.
Speaking of…did Judge Roy Moore ever concede?
Nope. No word from God yet on when she'll give Roy the OK to concede.
Still waiting for Roy to throw in the towel. By the way, did Betsy Markey ever get a concession call from Musgrave. seem to recall there was another sore loser.
She ‘kind of, sort of’ conceded via a robocall.
What a class act.
I'm wondering if the trend of young military veteran versus tired politician could work in Republican primaries.
Doug Lamborn versus Owen Hill or Darryl Glenn — hmmm, who looks fit and ready to take on the world?
In CD4, we have two relatively young "vets" challenging Ken Buck. Both are veterinarians – she is a small animal, and he is a large animal vet. He is also a combat veteran.
I'm talking about Drs. Karen McCormick and Chase Kohne. They've both been to our NE Colorado forums. They're both progressive, knowledgeable, solid candidates. I think Dr. McCormick is more moderate, or comes across that way.

The other guy running for CD4, Richard Weil, is basically in it to promote his book.
I'll be happy with whichever one wins the Democratic nomination for CD4.
Unfortunately, JohnInDenver, Lamborn lucks out again as Glenn and Hill likely will split the intelligent Republican vote in CD 5.
If you 're down to Glenn and Hill as examples of intelligent Republicans, this is indeed the year the bar was set low .
The bar has been pretty low since Lamborn first ran. You be the judge of what that implies.
Perhaps this is just an unintended consequence of Americans being sick and tired of so much winning?
Note to Melania Einstein’s infrequent occasional spouse: Spose’ we can call off those trade-destroying tariffs now?
Stormy-Daniels-John's-Satire-Wife is killing it (again) today…
The way that brave and independent-minded Rep. Coffman has consistently stood up to Trump? What me worry, right, Mike?
Stay the course Mr. Coffman, the voters of Colorado will reward you some day . . .
Well he did vote against repealing Obamacare but Ryan wouldn't give him a pass on the big, beautiful tax bill. And Mikey has been a complete asshole on DACA.
