A Proper 2018 Senate Elections Thread - Page 31 - Politics and Economics

I had previously posted that most of the large North Texas counties had early voting turnouts closing in on 2016. Saw earlier tonight the final total for Dallas County this year surpassed the 2016 election.

While I find these signs very encouraging, I really have little hope that my fellow Texans will actually end up pushing O’Rourke past Cruz. I would be seriously shocked, hapilly, if it happens.

Certainly Trump would bash both Cruz and O’Rourke and praise himself in a future tweet if it happens.

Some people think Murkowski could actually defect to the Dems in this scenario. I haven't done any research as to whether that's plausible or wishful thinking.

Of course. Was assuming if Murkowski defects it is 100% in self interest.

"I saw your speech. Loved the way you were anybody but Ted Cruz."

"Tell me this Beto, does it concern you that half your base thinks they can vote for you through Instagram?"

"I support spaying and neutering, just like Trump did to you."

"LION OF THE SENATE! LION OF THE SENATE! LION TED! LION TED!"

That and Murkowski is more conservative than Joe Manchin who everyone here wants out of the party already.

Alaska isn't as red as you'd think but unless alaska starts voting blue it's not gonna happen.
