In 96, when Clinton was cake-walking to the finish line vs Dole, Dole made a lot of stops in the last week to salvage downballot people.

It helped minimize GOP losses. Due to the pandemic, and Trump’s illness and narcissism, if this starts to slide away from him quickly, and take others down with him; he ain’t going to rescue anyone.

30 days out, there’s a real chance every time goes to the Dems. 6-8 senate seats, another dozen House seats

Responses:

The House is currently +5-10 D, while I haven't seen anyone go ahead and say, yeah the Democrats are definitely taking the Senate yet. - Tim Oct 4, 19:04 8
- My House district is rated as a toss up. Since the redistributing in PA my district would probably be considered a swing district that leans a bit Red -- nm - Dano Oct 4, 19:17 1
  - My district is Likely D (One of the few districts represented by a Democrat but won by Trump in 2016) - Tim Oct 4, 19:28
- The Economist is saying the same as 538, they published this week. -- (link) - Marlowe Oct 4, 19:14
- A year ago I thought the Dems taking the Senate was a pipe dream so it being an actual possibility is nice. -- nm - ty97 Oct 4, 19:12 2
  - A couple days after the midterms I made rankings and was pretty close. -- (link) - Tim Oct 4, 19:16 [Backboard] 1
    - I'm toying with the idea of having my election contest have a maximum score of 0. -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 19:19
- 538's Senate projections currently are giving Dems close to a 2 out of 3 chance of winning control. -- (link) - znufrii needs to update his handle Oct 4, 19:05 1
  - Seems they're really bullish on Iowa, which would be 51 provided they do get the main four in play. - Tim Oct 4, 19:09
It sounds like Harrison wiped the floor with Graham last night at their debate. -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 19:03 2
- the screen was glorious -- nm - Beaker Oct 4, 19:08
- With props. -- nm - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 4, 19:05
And then we damn well better add 5 seats to SCOTUS and get cases going on voting rights, redistricting, unions, healthcare, etc -- nm - 🕸 TWuG 🚀 Oct 4, 19:03 1
- Get shit done in the first 2 years in case voters lose their fucking minds and elect Republicans again. -- nm - 🕸 TWuG 🚀 Oct 4, 19:07
Republicans would be smart to RUN from Trump right now. -- nm - 🧹 Broom 🧹 Oct 4, 19:03 5
- Although, TBH, at this point they could avoid him at just a brisk walk. -- nm - 🧹 Broom 🧹 Oct 4, 22:41
- they won't. the 40% that comes out to vote are going to vote for the GOP. -- nm - Remlik Oct 4, 19:14
- I think it would be a smart move to do that if you've got eyes on 2024. But they fear a mean tweet. -- nm - Tim Oct 4, 19:05 2
  - they took away his phone! Now's the chance! -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 19:07 1
    - The one rule he's ever followed: "Turn off your phone in the hospital" -- nm - 🕸 TWuG 🚀 Oct 4, 19:08
Not to mention state houses in a redistricting year. -- nm - znufrii needs to update his handle Oct 4, 18:59
