The Senate map is trouble for Democrats in 2018

[TalkRadio]

Senate seats currently held by Democrats or independents caucusing with them are up for election in 2018 — more than half of the Democratic caucus. Even more significantly, 10 of those seats are in states that voted for Trump in 2016. Conversely, just eight Republican seats are up for election with only one in a state that went for Hillary Clinton.

538 presented a scenario that should terrify Democrats: it took Iraq, Katrina, the start of the Great Recession and rock bottom approval ratings for George W Bush for the Dems to grab a 60-seat Senate supermajority in 2008. But 30 states went for Trump in 2016, meaning the GOP would just need to nab both senators from those states in order to attain a supermajority — not unthinkable in today's hyperpartisan, straight-ticket environment.

He forgets the Reps hold the House, the Senate, the White House, the SCOTUS, and that VAST majority of local government and governorships in the nation. They hold a coastal archipelago of soon to be Third World shitholes.

Yes, but they will still have their walls and gated communities to protect their ill-gotton gains made upon the backs of cheap, almost indentured, labor.

At least until they run out of other people's money.

Nope, when we stop purchasing their tech, using their social media and stop watching their movies; it's their own money (unless they are overpaid public sector elites) that they use to protect themselves from their fantasies of how they can best abrogate human nature and manage the lives of the little people.
