Status meeting. As if I don’t have enough to worry about.
We seem to be on a small but steady decline in voters in all categories and a pretty large and steady decline in motivation of likely blue voters.
Staff still say we can win this. But it’s getting down to the nitty gritty.
And the Senate? It actually looks like we will lose control.
There are 28 democrats seats NOT up for election and 36 Republican seats NOT up for election this cycle. So, we have 36 seats being contested.
Of those, 14 will go to the Democrats and 9 will go Republican. In landslides.
So — with those, we are at 42 Democrats and 45 Republicans. I’m bad at math, but I think I’m in the general neighborhood.
And the remaining 13 seats? Those races are pretty fucking close.
Right now my team predicts the Republicans take back the Senate.
And the House? It will be a nail biter to the end. If Republicans hold the house, it looks like it will be a smaller margin than they had.
But we are all guessing.
On the bright side, if I win, I will push to get rid of the senate and/or make Washington DC a state and then the Senate will be Democratic.
Oh that reminds me of a joke.
My Doug Emhoff has been touring the country talking about the Democrats positions on various subjects. He was asked by a reporter about his own position on a subject.
“Doug, what’s your position on extra marital affairs?”
To which he replied, “Missionary.”
Ha ha ha.
That had nothing to do with the Senate. How about…
Q: Why do thieves never target politicians’ homes?
A: Professional courtesy.
Anywho. Back to pretending I care about America!
We good.
