US Midterm Election Megathread II: The Stretch Run Begins

[Oil exporting People]

I don't think it will be that close

It's Florida close races are basically the most interesting thing about the state. Indiana though should not be so close, I would have expected the GOP candidate to have about a 3-5% lead.

Most recent polling has Braun at 4%, so it's exactly where you're at.

Yeah, her sleepy self will be 92 come that point. I don't believe her.

She is not going to retire while Trump is president

Whether or not she wants to is irrelevant when she falls over dead.

[Washington Resistance Army]

Polling out of Indiana shows Braun has a developing lead and Indiana's PVI lends credence to this. If you had bothered to read the post, however, you would've saw I listed Nevada and Florida as tossups.

Yeah its going to be a red wave and Democrats will be lucky to hold any state governments after next week right?

As of late Braun has gained the lead and the average has shifted in his favor.

[Oil exporting People]

Why would they get rid of McConnell?

for being derelict in his duties

Uh, what?

[San Lumen]

for being derelict in his duties

His duty is to advance the legislative agenda of his party. That agenda included blocking Garland. He was performing his duties.

No the job of the Senate is to advise and consent not obstruct. The President was chosen by the people and therefore has a right to chose the judges they want and those judges deserve a hearing and a vote.

They did advise, they just said "No".

Garland shouldn't have gone to a vote?

Honestly, do you intentionally not read posts or are you really this bad at debating?

I personally think he should have gotten a vote, it just should have been No.

And the Senate is elected by popular vote and has the right to shoot down any Judges appointed. Try again.

So you believe their consent is mandatory?

Therefore the President should not get to pick the judges they want and never get a hearings or a vote on them?

[San Lumen]

So you believe their consent is mandatory?

They should at the very least hold a hearing and a vote.

Again, do you not read posts are are you really this terrible at debating?

That would have avoided the shit show that was Kav. It's only going to get worse.

I don't think Mitch McConnell gives a single slimy turtle shit what you think he should do...

[San Lumen]

Lets say in hypothetical the legislature in your state was Republican and the people elected a Democratic governor. Would find it acceptable if the legislature refused to allow almost all of their appointments a hearing or a vote?

It's San Lumen, so the answer would be yes.

I would encourage them to do exactly that. Just as I encouraged McConnell to block Garland.

Sure but the Senate isn't very representative of public opinion though, they may have the legal right to do something but it doesn't speak to the moral legitimacy.

Therefore a government unable to function is fine with you? Or they should have to nominate people they disagree with?

Don't worry your new Governor Newsom will probably ignore what you would like.

[San Lumen]

and he won't have a Republican legislature to block everything he wants to do.

[Telconi]

I would encourage them to do exactly that. Just as I encouraged McConnell to block Garland.

A government unable to function is preferable to a government which functions detrimentally.

Thankfully Justice Kavanaugh won't ignore what he likes

Of course he will, he prides himself in being my enemy.
