Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted yesterday at 02:24 PM Posted yesterday at 02:24 PM Long shot for Dems in a seat GOP won by over 20% but who knows what can happen in a low turnout race. This clip of the Dem is in Franklin where a great battle was fought in the Civil War. I visited the battlefield there and the house it was fought around is still there. Very high casualties on both sides.

Roundybout Posted yesterday at 02:46 PM Posted yesterday at 02:46 PM Probably a GOP hold but it’ll be way closer than the presidential election margin . 1
Joe Ferguson forever Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago this is worth watching. D up by 3% with 43% of the vote in. too early to call. early voters went overwhelmingly D so that could change quickly.

This is evangelical country, ruby red. Republicans go brain dead and just forget you have to vote when it’s an off year or special election. This wouldn’t be remotely close if it was a midterm or general year.

And it’s a special election on December 2nd in an off year. Not a presidential one. Every Democrat is going to show up or create votes no matter the election bc Trump bad. They are the high turnout party now because it’s the only way they feel they can “resist.” Unless they post on social media the cheering on of assassins that shoot conservatives. But other than that, they are voting to resist!! They should be favored to WIN every single special election bc low propensity voters are Republicans now - they’ll vote in mid terms and presidential elections. This used to be reversed. All part of realignment. 1

Not sure what the true makeup is as I doubt it’s as low as that or as high as what Trump did. And Republicans certainly need a gameplan for next year. I’d agree. The party in power usually gets rocked and Trump has spent most of his first year being the world’s President and not focusing on our economy. That said, Republicans are the working class party. I know you don’t want to hear that, but they are. Democrats are the party of the “educated”, wealthy and poor. They vote. Politics, in many cases, replaces religion or family as their reason for being. Republicans vote when they’re supposed to.. midterms and general elections. Special elections and off year elections, it’s a friggin nightmare trying to get these people to care.

You maga's and your alternative realities. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2025-special-elections/tennessee-house-results#summary Facts. They exist. It's a good showing for an unabashed liberal in the home of the beverly hillbillies. Nashville rocks however. Very cool town. 6 hours ago, SCBills said: That said, Republicans are the working class party. I know you don’t want to hear that, but they are. Democrats are the party of the “educated”, wealthy and poor. true. the rest is bs. I would also replace wealthy with upper middle class. the wealthy often shift with their personal interests...oh, and remove the quotes from educated. Education level still largely determines lifetime earnings.
Joe Ferguson forever Posted 39 minutes ago Posted 39 minutes ago (edited) R's who know politics are worried https://www.politico.com/news/2025/12/02/tennessee-election-republican-midterms-fallout-00674124 One GOP consultant, granted anonymity to speak candidly, worried the result in Tennessee signals that Republican voters won’t turn out in significant numbers for candidates other than Trump — a problem that has plagued Republicans in the past. “The Trump coalition is captivated by the force of his personality and willingness to disrupt the established order. There’s not much interest in supporting other ‘politicians’ when Trump isn’t on the ballot,” the consultant said. “The winds are likely to blow against Republicans in federal races in 2026. People are rarely satisfied anymore and they’re looking for someone to punish.” Edited 36 minutes ago by Joe Ferguson forever
