Hoping for a new poll on the FL Senate Race between Nelson(D) and Scott(R). It's a toss up. It's been several weeks since the last poll.


If Trump decides to pardon Manafort, this should help the Ds in all the races.

Neslon's spilling classified information in a public forum will likely tilt things towards Scott.

Also, Nelson would be 80+ after his term, and that doesn't work in his favor.

I got a tax cut and a raise under Trump that I never got under Hussein, Trump mad peace with NK, The economy is soaring, ISIS is wiped out, The Trump Train is real.

About the voting machines in Florida which Scott is currently in charge of?

What about the Red tide? Have to think most Floridians which I spent a weekend with & was all they could talk about is Scott's fault. This is 4 doctors & three dentists's all voted for Trump who are pointing fingers at Scott for this failure. Instead of boating we hung out at a pool, one Dr. was very upset as he hasn't taken his boat out for a month due to the Red Tide.

If the election was today, I'd expect Dems to take back the House by a 10-15 seat margin. I do not expect them to take back the Senate. There are too many Democrat incumbents in red states that they have to keep. Honestly, I expect Dems to lose seats in the Senate.

However the election isn't today. Who knows what will happen between now and November. Trump got a big "uptick" in support after his meeting with Kim Jong Un. Considering we got nothing out of the deal, I fully expect Trump to do the same thing with some other world power in October. Meet up for some historic summit - make ridiculous promises to his citizens but plan to come through on none of them.

Where's that verifiable denuclearization by the way?

There are 4 seats at play for the democrats..

North Dakota, we don't have a recent poll.

Florida, where both candidates have been up & down, I'd call it a draw right now, Nelson though just announced a $40 million ad buy which should boost him.

Indiana Donnely is up 12 currently, Donnelly 51, Braun 39... Need to see a couple more polls of plus 10, if we do then we move this to a safe seat for the dems.

Missouri, this is pretty even Hawley vs. McCaskill are tied in the latest Scout poll, which is a blog dedicated to Missouri politics, very solid record there. Hawley as attorney general has a lot of baggage with the Governor scandal this year. He was put in a no win position, he could have indicated the sitting governor on a felony, which the governor was guilty of. Instead he allowed him to resign & dropped the charges.

For those on the fence about a red wave going into the midterms. Next month, "Red October", will remove any doubts forever. The offshoot of what is about to transpire in October, will have many Liberals soul searching and shocked, at least the last remaining decent ones, as to what happened behind the Dem leadership scene. All that is about to unfold will have a significant number of Dem voters either staying at home or voting in GOP or Independent candidates as a protest move.

Red October is right when Mueller releases his investigation report of Trump colluding with Putin to steal the election.
