Hey PPO!

Hi Jenuwin!

AdLib 4 days ago

One less hour of Trump is perfect!

AdLib 4 days ago

Such big numbers of early voting, I think it could be a bigger Blue Wave than we’re thinking.

AdLib 4 days ago

Tons of women coming out across the country, double digits more in GA! And 9 point advantage in FL!

AdLib 4 days ago

And women favor Dems by double digits.

AdLib 4 days ago

Yes, it’s a long shot but polls are showing Beto between 1-3 points of Cruz so if young voters, women and Latinos turn out in big numbers, he could win.

AdLib 4 days ago

Yes, women vote by bigger percentages than men so increased women voters would be huge.

AdLib 4 days ago

Hey Harleigh!

AdLib 4 days ago

I don’t doubt that Repubs in Red states will be messing with the vote, especially in GA, ND, MO and Tx but if Dems can win by a big enough percentage, it can overwhelm the cheating.

AdLib 4 days ago

Hey Murph!

AdLib 4 days ago

PPO, I heard almost all of Obama’s speech today, it was inspiring and brilliant!

AdLib 4 days ago

Harleigh – Very cool! Glad your vote’s already in. Any observations about who’s voting there?

AdLib 4 days ago

PPO – And there were hateful Trump Trolls screaming crap during Obama’s speech and he handled them so well, dissed them with a smart response and a smile, not anger.

AdLib 4 days ago

Hey Glenn!

AdLib 4 days ago

Harleigh – it is surreal to see Trump use the military as a prop in the election in sending them to the border to do nothing and be apart from their families.

AdLib 4 days ago

PPO – I would not be surprised to see Trump start a war if his polling goes down as he runs for re-election. It’s a bit scary and should lead to impeachment and removal.

AdLib 4 days ago

Harleigh – Great to hear! We’re there a lot of people there when you voted?

AdLib 4 days ago

Murph – Fantastic news about Claire! I think we may see what happened with Northam in VA happen on Tuesday, Dems winning by bigger margins than polling shows because so many more and new voters are coming out.

AdLib 4 days ago

PPO – Been seeing the same thing on Twitter, many claiming they are Repubs and now voting Dem. Don’t know how legit they are but it is increasing enthusiasm in Dems to vote so it’s a good thing.

AdLib 4 days ago

Glenn – He can’t start a war at the border though because it will end up being just hundreds of poor, unarmed, exhausted women and children asking for asylum. And the military can’t act as law enforcement, they actually already refused Trump’s request to do so, they can only provide support services. So it’s a total, very expensive, fraud.

AdLib 4 days ago

glenn – I agree, women will be the ones to decide this election…and they ain’t voting for Repubs!

AdLib 4 days ago

glenn- Not surprised how smartly you voted, the machines in GA, TX, etc. are intentionally faulty so very good you double checked.

AdLib 4 days ago

Steve King may yet win this year because all the bailing on him came just this week, not as early as would have been more devastating but if he wins in this election, I think he loses in 2020.

AdLib 4 days ago

Murph – Yes, I remember the Lysistrata Ladies well, so glad to hear they’re voting blue! Hope they convince more women!

AdLib 4 days ago

Glenn – Trump has already incited the bombing attack on the top Dems including 2 past Presidents and 2016’s Dem Presidential nominee, the 11 people killed at the PA temple and he may be creating violent pro-Trump militias to kill innocent people at the border. He has blood on his hands. This is sick. Dems and Mueller need to take Trump down in front of all of America. Trump thought he was Reagan but he’s a deranged Nixon.

AdLib 4 days ago

glenn- Yes, saw Obama’s masterful speech and smart handling of the moronic Trump trolls heckling him. He was great!

AdLib 4 days ago

Harleigh – I like how Gillum nailed DeSantis by saying that he doesn’t know if he’s a racist but the racists think he’s a racist.

AdLib 4 days ago

Harleigh – Nelson is thankfully riding Gillum’s coat tails, it’s boosted Nelson.. And ending Rick Scott’s political career would be a huge victory!

AdLib 4 days ago

PPO – Obama chuckled at the heckler wondering why the people who won the last election are so mad. He said that he and Dems were happy when they won.

AdLib 4 days ago

Harleigh – That’s a bit spooky. Did you ever see his van in the neighborhood?

AdLib 4 days ago

Harleigh – I’ve seen some Dem ads that are very good. Many that are as stale and cliche as Repub ads but some that really nail Repubs. Better this year than in 2016.

AdLib 4 days ago

Murph- I saw Maddow saying that may happen next week right after the elections. We need to be looking for that but there are big problems for Trump if he tries to do that, more Obstruction charges and you can bet Mueller has a button to push in case of emergency, perhaps sending everything to US Attorneys but he’s prepared. In fact, once he sees that Dems have won The House, he could have an already-completed report sent to Rosenstein immediately who immediately sends it to The House and Dems will be able to have it in hand in Jan.

AdLib 4 days ago

Night Harleigh!

AdLib 4 days ago

PPO – Less surprising that pro-Nazis are in positions of power but glad they’ve been exposed and booted. Now let’s hope Steve King is booted!

AdLib 4 days ago

Murph – Great point! And The Grand Jury can forward the case to The House for impeachment on their own, that’s what the new released Watergate papers show. So Trump risks a lot if he tries to stop Mueller, The Grand Jury can add his obstruction to the cases they already have against him.

AdLib 4 days ago

See ya PPO, hopefully we will have a celebratory Vox next week!

AdLib 4 days ago

glenn- Yes, we’ll have a live chat on Election Night!

AdLib 4 days ago

So who hear feels more confident that Dems take The House decisively on Tuesday?

AdLib 4 days ago

glenn- My prediction is that many races that are polling to be neck and neck will be won by Dems clearly earlier than predicted. The Blue Wave will happen.

AdLib 4 days ago

Murph – Considering what a huge disadvantage Dems had with so many of them in Red States up for election, I think Dems will end up far better off in The Senate than anyone predicted earlier in the year. Still, they have a narrow chance to win control of The Senate this year but they will take it back in 2020.

AdLib 4 days ago

glenn- We’ll see how it goes on Tuesday, I do think Dems will have a bigger than expected sweep in The House and in governorships.

AdLib 4 days ago

Glenn – I think Beto winning is a longer shot but definitely possible. Latest polls have him between 1-3 points down, within the margin of error. Turnout by women, Latinos and younger voters could hand him a win.

AdLib 4 days ago

glenn- Dems need 23 seats in the House to win it, I think they’ll get at least 35.

AdLib 4 days ago

Yes Murph, 35 is decisive but I wouldn’t be surprised to see 45 seats…and hope they get those and more!

AdLib 4 days ago

Murph – I do think most Dems hold their Senate seats but Heitkamp will lose. Maybe 1 or 2 others but not bad in these polarized times.

AdLib 4 days ago

Imagine if Dems win governorships in all the swing states! Goodbye voter suppression and gerrymandering in OH, MI, WI, FL and GA. Maybe not all but most I think.

AdLib 4 days ago

glenn – Dems need to win all the incumbent seats in Red states then pickup two more seats that Repus hold. Very hard to shoot the moon this year, unlikely but not impossible. More likely and probable in 2020.

AdLib 4 days ago

Thanks for your hard work Murph! See you on the Tuesday live chat!

AdLib 4 days ago

glenn – Heitkamp is way behind in polls, voted against Kavanaugh in a red state, had an uphill task in winning and doesn’t seem to be coming back in polls.

AdLib 4 days ago

See you on Tuesday, Glenn!

AdLib 4 days ago

Well, looks like it’s time to close the Vox bar now, Jenuwin! Have a wonderful evening!
