Hillary Clinton has an 85% chance to win.

it's upsetting that you guys still can't read, more than a year and a half out

r4X0r posted...
So what platforms do the Democrats hold that you think are going to win over voters?

Again, look at your local candidate I guess?

Why do the Dems need a national campaign for an election season where every election is local?

Running as the opposition seems to have worked for them throughout 2017, and certainly worked for the GOP from 2008-2016

There is too much gerrymandering for the democrats to retake the house. They could get a majority of votes and still get crushed


Trump says "the system is rigged"

Democrats- "he's just spouting nonsense conspiracy bs"

-Trump Wins

Democrats- "ZOMG THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED!!!"

Pretty sure that platform was "Not Obama"

Now that we got the boogeyman out of office, what do Republicans have to offer? They burned a lot of bridges with their failure to hammer out an ACA repeal, have shown general incompetency with a majority, and half the party is actively distancing themselves from the standing president.

It's one thing to say "oh, lower taxes" "oh tougher on illegals" but when you've shown you can't even get shit passed, how can anyone trust you

No, there haven't been "numerous special and governor elections" showing that. The Democrats won in New Jersey, Virginia, and Alabama. They won two governor's seats in BLUE STATES and their candidate in Alabama was so bad that they only narrowly defeated a PEDOPHILE.

Just one sentence. Tell me a Democratic Party platform that you think will turn voters away from having more money and more job opportunities.

And no one can give me a straight answer (the one @r4X0r gave doesn't count because it was dumb). Why is it so important to have a national campaign when every campaign is local and every candidate will likely need to tailor to their state/district?

They need to keep all the seats they already have and take 24 more.

That is not trivial.


There are only 8 Republican seats up and 24 Democrat seats up in 2018 and some of the Dems in those seats barely made it in on the coattails of Obama. It's a lot "easier" to take the House.
