Just checked out some of the BernieBro camp. Good old HA Goodman is firmly in the Trump camp now, which is unsurprising, as his only political project is to be anti-Clinton - crazy how so many Sandernistas fell for his crap. The Young Turks seem to be in the Clinton camp now, though. Even Ana Kasparian is voting for Clinton despite being one of the harshest anti-Clinton people a couple of months ago. Not sure about Jimmy Dore, but surely someone here knows.

Dore is a serious potential Trump voter considering he has an idiot theory that electing Trump means progressives win in the future.

Not really all that wrong, given how midterms usually go against the incumbent.

And given the split between the GOP and trump (somehow managing to top Carter and the Democratic Establishment), and trump being easily baited to do what works for him, which could favor the Democrats a few times...not entirely improbable.

I actually considered doing that myself, then Khanghazi happened and proved that trump was too far gone for that.

for god sakes man look at the 2018 senate map

where on earth are democrats going to pick up anything?

The Senate's dicey, but not impossible, if OH and FL tell us anything now. Stuff happens that can change anything [scandals, Jason Kanders,etc.], a week's an eternity.

And with trump being so different, a tying of someone like Deb Fischer, Orrin Hatch (or his successor), even Jeff Flake to trump, and then running people like Mark Kelley, Doug Owens, that nullifies it.



And you're forgetting about gubernatorials and even state legislatures, where Democrats will definitely gain...which would be likely forfeit if Hillary were President. Walker, Rauner, Baker, those guys are out if trump's the man, but could very well keep going if they tie their opponent to Hillary.
