    Music to my ears. Like I said, I’ll be very happy if Dems can win at least one house of Congress + pick up numerous governorships & do well in state houses across the country. 2018 midterms is bigger than trump, it’s about the 2020 census & who will be in power to redraw districts. Democrats were f----- when Republicans redrew districts in 2010 hence why they have to win the house by 5+ nationally just to get a majority. Ds can redraw much more fair/beneficial maps in 2020 if they do well in state wide elections in 2018.

    I’m not very optimistic this would have a chance considering Dems likely won’t win back the senate. It is progress though. Democrats can bring it to a vote in the house & force Republicans to vote on it. It’d likely just die in a republican controlled senate though.

    @Sign Language cruz pulling out a tool from Trump’s playbook & suggesting he’s going to lock up Beto. It’s actually crazy how Trump just totally normalized this.... a couple years ago, this would have destroyed your entire campaign.

    I don’t think Beto is going to win. Sorry for 6 more years of Ted Cruz, America.

    He’s sitting at ~22% chance of winning on 538. That’s not improbable like it shouldn’t totally shock people if he won. As it has been the whole election though, it looks unlikely. I’m really hoping he pulls it off though. If Beto wins in Texas then that likely means Ds are outperforming their polls in other states too. Texas is considered one of the “tipping states” for the senate this year. Which ever party wins it, is likely winning the senate. I’ve already accepted that Dems probably aren’t gonna win the senate though. The senate map this year is just tough + a lot of voter suppression per usual.

    I honestly think the polls are missing something. Idk if it’s just my area, but the Beto enthusiasm is huge. Definitely the most success that a statewide democratic candidate has had in a long time. It’ll either be Beto plus one or Cruz plus three.

    voted for Brian Kemp. I don't want my taxes raised and that is for sure to happen if Abrams is elected in my state. I do like Abrams stance on weed though buts that's about it
