Earlier today this Nate Silver guy told me it's more likely than not they control the Senate in 2021.

The ONE positive from this is there is a non zero chance some Dems decide to pretend to have a horsefeathering spine.

Figured he might throw a last minute Hail Mary to save his seat. But ya that’s not happening

It would only hurt him. His base is Colorado Springs, and literally all they care about is ending abortion.

Re: Justice Ginsburg has died

I'm hoping that a couple of the bubble senators currently up for reelection (e.g. Collins) won't want to touch this purely out of a sense of self preservation. Although even that doesn't help during the lame duck period... Collins and Murkowski I'd buy on. After that... MAYBE Romney if he wants to ...

So, I'm in the middle of no where watching tarantula males wondering around looking for mates. It was really cool. Then my phone said Ruth Bader Ginsberg died. Totally ruined the trip.

I never even thought about it until Lester's post-game comments, but last night could have been his last start at Wrigley Field in a Cubs uniform. The way he spoke, it certainly sounded like that could be the case. What are everyone's thoughts about bringing him back next year? Obviously he isn't w...

That's said if you're going demographic heavy on these type of analysis, it necessitates pessimism about somewhere like Minnesota. How so?

Something like his route in 2016. I'd say Pennsylvania looking weaker than expected is the most nerve racking sign right now. That's a big state from the 2016 map if the Dems can't expand into a state like AZ, NC, or FL. For instance, https://www.270towin.com/maps/47ZzB https://projects.fivethirtye...

How could they even horsefeathering argue for that? What was the justification?

That the guys with the best results in the league do not often replicate their historic success afterwards should not be a surprise.
