They don’t feel any sense of duty or responsibility to stand with Trump.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/siege-warfare-republican-anxiety-spikes-as-trump-faces-growing-legal-and-political-perils/2018/12/08/679b785a-fa59-11e8-863c-9e2f864d47e7_story.html Of course most members of Congress are self-serving opportunists - just like Trump - and won't sail against the wind for long. The Congressional equivalent of the Judean People's Front Crack Suicide Squad that will go down with the Trump ship are the ideologue members in the Freedom Caucus and elsewhere whose personalities are least like Trump. So probably most Republicans in Congress would secretly prefer that Trump be impeached and convicted as quickly as possible so they can get back to promoting a reactionary agenda under President Pence and regain control of Congress in 2020. But they can't say that, lest they fall in the 2020 Republican primaries to true Trumpists. And speaking of the 2020 primaries, that is probably the best time for Democrats to pursue impeachment, even if conviction fails in the Senate. By forcing Republican senators to take a stand for or against conviction, the Democrats line those Republicans up for execution, either in the primaries or in the general election. Ideally Democrats would run the impeachment hearings from the first caucuses in February through the election in November. Maybe they could outsource that job to Trey Goudy. The Democrats will have their own primary issues, though, if it becomes uncertain whether Trump or Pence or somebody else is going to be the Republican candidate - https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/opinions/wp/2018/11/30/democrats-should-consider-what-would-happen-if-trump-doesnt-run-in-2020 Republican careers and personal integrity would have better outlooks if they'd put some effort into getting ranked-choice voting instead of caucuses and primaries. https://www.fairvote.org/ In the meantime Democrats can study how the Saudis, Koreans, Russians, and Chinese turn Trump toward their ends - give him some token concessions for a big photo op in conjunction with signing something that is substantially what Democrats want. That's something that might not work as well with President Pence. Trump should consider that if he gets the nomination in 2020, runs, and loses, then there will be nobody to pardon him. Better to cut a deal for a pardon from Pence before then. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/is-the-gop-the-law-and-order-party-not-so-much/2018/12/10/b646336e-fcc0-11e8-ad40-cdfd0e0dd65a_story.html == topic politics 1 ===== comments 1 hide 1 impact 3468 impactrate 0 likeimpress 20 negative 1 posted 2018-12-09 priority 1 ratio 1 react 95 reactrate 0 shares 2 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 71 title Bannon's right about one thing topic politics wordrate 0 words 365 ID 765960467081808 URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/765960467081808 audclicks 71 audreach 18 commentsimpress 1 commentsusers 1 engaged 32 hideclicks 1 hideclicksusers 1 impress 272 likeclickusers 23 likeimpress 20 likeuimpress 165 likeusers 20 likeuusers 115 matchedlinkclicks 3 matchedotherclicks 68 negclicks 1 negusers 1 oimpress 272 oreach 158 posted "12/09/2018 07:38:33 AM" postlinkclicks 3 postotherclicks 16 reach 158 sharesimpress 2 sharesusers 2 type Link ========== Today's news GWH Bush and ADA https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-sac-skelton-george-hw-bush-americans-with-disabilities-act-20181206-story.html Republican self destruction - the California model goes national https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/trump-is-a-political-vampire/2018/12/06/e73c7da6-f988-11e8-8c9a-860ce2a8148f_story.html Some conservatives conserved their self-respect, but for how long?

And don't forget DC, whose three electoral votes always go Democratic. It's not an exact projection, because voters don't always vote for both President and for Congressional Representative - votes for President count in 2020 but votes for Congressional Representative are what we got in 2018. Some districts require special treatment because they can't be used to reliably project presidential vote. For instance, uncontested candidates, multiple candidates from the same party, candidates running as independent, and districts where third party and independent votes are more numerous than the difference between the Democratic and Republican votes. There were 18 uncontested elections and 33 other special cases in 2018. Several approaches are possible: * Ignore - ignore 2018 special case districts when projecting 2020 electoral college results. * President - replace 2018 special case district results by corresponding 2016 presidential results in each district from https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2012/11/19/1163009/-Daily-Kos-Elections-presidential-results-by-congressional-district-for-the-2012-2008-elections * Substitute - If there are no Democratic candidates, use the sum of third-party and independent votes for the Democrats; correspondingly if there are no Republican candidates. In other special cases, where there are neither Republicans nor Democrats (uncontested) or both Republicans and Democrats (but third parties or independents might change the result), use the 2016 presidential results. Finally, not all the votes are counted yet and there could be some adjustments which are likely to affect the individual House races but less likely to affect the projected electoral outcome. There's always the chance of programming bugs. To validate the methodology, applying it to 2016 data https://ballotpedia.org/United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections,_2018 produced a projected 2016 electoral vote of D 233, R 305. The actual 2016 electoral vote was 232 for Clinton, and 304 or 306 for Trump, depending on how you count the two Republican Electors that declined to vote for him. So that's pretty close - maybe closer than it deserves, because in 48 states and DC, very small differences in popular vote swing all a state's electoral votes one way or another. The projected electoral college results are * Ignore - D 289 R 249 electoral votes; D 22 R 26 delegations; IA MI NC PA * President - D 324 R 214 electoral votes; D 21 R 26 delegations; AZ FL IA MI PA WI * Substitute - D 324 R 214 electoral votes; D 21 R 26 delegations; AZ FL IA MI PA WI That's quite a variation. The states listed are those that flipped from the 2016 presidential vote. The "delegations" are the counts of who controls state delegations in the House of Representatives; that comes into play if the Electoral College doesn't have a majority: https://history.house.gov/Institution/Origins-Development/Electoral-College/ States that are evenly split between Democrat and Republican wouldn't count. The states and electoral votes that flipped from 2016 were Arizona - 11, Florida - 29, Iowa - 6, Michigan - 16, Pennsylvania - 20, and Wisconsin - 10. Arizona, Iowa, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin each had one special district. Florida had five. A detailed log is at http://www.political-scrapbook.net/electoral-projection.html Of course the actual 2020 electoral vote might have something to do with what Trump does between now and then, and with who the Democrats nominate, but it will have a lot more to do with the timing of the next, long overdue, recession, and whether we stumble into any more endless wars. But the projection is encouraging. 2018 election data from nytimes.com as of 12 Nov. It will get updated with later data. 2016 election data from dailykos.com. == topic politics ===== impact 3567 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2018-11-07 ratio 0 react 56 reactrate 0 shares 3 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 53 title 2020 electoral vote: D 289-324 R 249-214 - AZ FL IA MI topic politics wordrate 0 words 637 ID 746494049028450 URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/746494049028450 audclicks 53 audreach 4 engaged 4 impress 70 likeclickusers 4 likeuimpress 28 likeuusers 25 matchedotherclicks 53 oimpress 70 oreach 40 posted "11/07/2018 09:37:47 AM" postotherclicks 4 reach 40 sharesimpress 3 sharesusers 3 type Link ========== He always tells the truth - when he can https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/when-i-can-i-tell-the-truth-trump-pushes-back-against-his-peddling-of-falsehoods/2018/11/01/e8278d68-ddbe-11e8-85df-7a6b4d25cfbb_story.html Must be the mainstream media that are forcing him to lie constantly - https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/01/opinion/republican-party-lies.html topic politics 1 ===== comments 31 hide 2 impact 418 impactrate 0 likeimpress 34 negative 2 posted 2018-11-02 priority 1 ratio 1 react 167 reactrate 0 shares 9 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 91 title He always tells the truth - when he can topic politics wordrate 0 words 25 ID 743460382665150 URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/743460382665150 audclicks 91 audreach 27 commentsimpress 31 commentsusers 15 engaged 61 hideclicks 2 hideclicksusers 2 impress 390 likeclickusers 29 likeimpress 34 likeuimpress 160 likeusers 32 likeuusers 123 matchedlinkclicks 8 matchedotherclicks 83 negclicks 2 negusers 2 oimpress 390 oreach 284 posted "11/02/2018 06:45:54 AM" postlinkclicks 7 postotherclicks 21 reach 284 sharesimpress 9 sharesusers 9 type Link ========== The armed left It got the right interested in gun control 50 years ago.
