Tiberius Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 A real barn burner going on in Georgia. The snowflake candidate (Republican Perdue) is running away from another debate with the Democrat who beat up on him really bad in the last debate. https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/29/politics/georgia-senate-debate-ossoff-perdue/index.html "Shame on you, Senator," Ossoff tweeted Thursday in response to the news. "At last night's debate, millions saw that Perdue had no answers when I called him out on his record of blatant corruption, widespread disease, and economic devastation." "Perhaps Sen. Perdue would have been able to respond properly to the Covid-19 pandemic if you hadn't been fending off multiple federal investigations for insider trading," Ossoff said, adding, "It's not just that you're a crook, senator, it's that you're attacking the health of the people that you represent." Perdue -- who has said he welcomes a full review of his stock trades and claimed he was cleared "completely" by the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and Senate Ethics Committee -- dismissed Ossoff's attack Wednesday as "nonsense." Ossoff didn't directly dispute Perdue's accusation but said it was "so beneath the office of a US senator." "You've continued to demean yourself throughout this campaign with your conduct. First, you were lengthening my nose in attack ads to remind everybody that I'm Jewish. Then when that didn't work, you started calling me some kind of Islamic terrorist. And then when that didn't work, you started calling me a Chinese communist," he said. ---------------------------------------- 538 is giving the Dems a pretty good chance of taking the senate https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2020-election-forecast/senate/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if White House and Senate are a toss up, House is safely Dem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not happening. NY and CA are strongly blue and those will not be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz28 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 It would be funny to see the Democrats get 50 seats, so the Republicans can wish upon a star that 1 Democrat has some dignity(Bob Dylan 'How does it feel'). They may end up with more than 50 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a steep climb for R's to take the house but Trump doesn't need any margin for it to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the Republicans to take the house, they would need to win all the seats leaning Dem and some of the seats that are likely Dem. In order to do that, you’ll need to see Republicans come strong, which would correlate in a large Trump popular vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House seats are much harder to poll/predict than statewide elections. I'm not saying R's will get a majority but we learned from 2016 that polling can be very flawed. My district is easily +4 R in terms of registration. the R candidate was the incumbent and really had no baggage and a good record. He ran a lazy campaign and lost.

Yes, House polls are usually not as reliable since it’s harder to get a good sample, but you can still get a good idea of the electorate with how polarizing things are now. I will give you that Trump not getting say +7 and winning the House is more likely than say Trump winning NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
