quote [ Donald Trump On Midterms: A Vote For [Insert Name Here] Is A Vote For Me ]
WASHINGTON (AP) — Facing the prospect of an electoral defeat that could imperil his presidency, President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he won’t accept the blame if Republicans lose the House in November, arguing that he is “helping” Republican candidates in the midterms.
Trump Tells AP He’s Not To Blame With just three weeks until voters head to the polls, Steve Kornacki returns to Morning Joe with polling on key races, including New York's 27th congressional district and Utah's 4th congressional district. Steve Kornacki Breaks Down The Latest Midterm Polling Early in-person voting and mail-in voting in Georgia so far to this point in the 2014 midterm elections and shows more than three times as much so far Early voting in Georgia skyrockets versus 2014 midterms The Texas Senate race is looking out of reach for the Dems as O’Rourke is a constant 5 points back. 3 key moments in Ted Cruz and Beto O’Rourke’s last Senate debate Ted Cruz tried to paint Beto O’Rourke as an “extreme” liberal in their last Senate debate. O’Rourke called him a liar. The Dems also look to lose a seat too. North Dakota Senate - Cramer vs. Heitkamp... Cramer +8.7 And it seems pretty steady. That leaves the margin beyond razor thin for any chance of a Dem take over and leaves a good chance for a GOP pick up. Top Governor Races TOSS UP Georgia: Kemp (R) +1.5 (10/12) Kansas: TOSS UP (10/12) Nevada: Sisolak (D) +2.67 (10/12) Ohio: Dewine (R) +2.0 (9/19) South Dakota: Sutton (D) +3 (10/8) LEAN DEM Colorado: Polis (D) +9.0 (10/12) Connecticut: Lamont (D) +7.0 (10/12) Florida: Gillum (D) +5.5 (10/12) Iowa: Hubbell (D) +3.5 (10/8) New Mexico: Grisham (D) +7 (10/8) Oregon: Brown (D) +7.0 (10/12) Wisconsin: Evers (D) +5.25 (10/12) LIKELY DEM Illinois: Pritzker (D) +17.5 (10/12) Minnesota: Walz (D) +12.0 (10/12) Rhode Island (D) +9.67 (10/12) LEAN GOP Alaska (IND) Dunleavy (R) +9.5 (10/8) New Hampshire: Sununu (R) +5 (10/8) Oklahoma: Stitt (R) +5 (10/12) LIKELY GOP Arizona: Ducey (R) +12.25 (10/12) South Carolina: McMasters (R) +9 (10/8)

This post is a trainwreck.
The title is implying democrats will whomp the republicans this midterm and your unsourced text of poll info just talks about how democrats have a razor thin chance. Your main link is a youtube video of an MSNBC clip of Trump. The bottom stats appear to be governor races, which is great, but okay. If the take away from this post is just "Go out and vote" it's not really a coherent message. The problem the democrats have is they aren't proposing solutions, they are just saying "Look how bad the republicans are! They're taking away social security now!". Democrats win when they have a vision they can push. This post doesn't help sell that. |

This is about the state of the midterms, which is going two directions at once. The Dems look primed to take the house..biggly and at the same time lose seats in the Senate.
Trump says that each election is about him ...but they can't blame him if they lose, and yea that is the latest polling on Governor's races and yea you don't like the Democrats. “I’m not running,” he said. “I mean, there are many people that have said to me ... ‘I will never ever go and vote in the midterms because you’re not running and I don’t think you like Congress.’” He added: “Well, I do like Congress.” |

If they win the house, that's huge then. The democrats would finally have a weak grip on at least part of one branch of government. Context:

They will have control of the checkbook and subpoena power. But the won't be able to stop the take over of the judiciary...The governors chairs are important because of the 2020 census...and gerrymandering.
But this is age of Trump and the election is 3 weeks away...so. |

On a side note...
Just in case you were wondering what is at stake in this election. McConnell eyes cuts to Medicare, Social Security to address deficit Nearly a year ago, as the debate over Republican tax breaks for the wealthy was near its end, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) insisted that the tax cuts didn’t need to be paid for – because they’d pay for themselves. “I not only don’t think it will increase the deficit, I think it will be beyond revenue neutral,” McConnell said in December 2017. “In other words, I think it will produce more than enough to fill that gap.” But of course the magic of "trickle Down" didn't work...because it has never worked... So logically we have to cut Medicare, Social Security to address deficit...simple Republican economics. |

Bernie Sanders Verified account @BernieSanders US Senate candidate, VT If you think your vote doesn’t matter, please remember that I won my first election to become Mayor of Burlington by just 10 votes. 10 votes. Your vote matters and we need you involved in the political process. |

Bernie Sanders Verified account @BernieSanders US Senate candidate, VT In the midterm election of 2014, the United States had the lowest voter turnout since World War II. If we increase voter turnout this midterm election from just 36% to 50%, we can change the direction of this country and elect progressives everywhere. |

If you doubted if the Dems were going to take the house...This should tell you how the internal polls are looking. A rat is the first person off the sinking ship.
