re: #183 ausador

I have doubts that we will manage to retake the Senate given the current race projections.

Another thing to note, Republican primary voters in both Iowa and New Hampshire outnumbered Democratic party voters.

To turn the “Sanders will have no coattails” issue on the Republicans, does anyone believe that any of the GOP contenders will have coattails? Because of the states I listed, only North Carolina and Ohio have a favorable Republican rating, and they are both under R+3 I believe.

Running the table in that scenario isn’t easy. But I have a feeling that this presidential election, as weird as it’s been, is going to see two nominees with limited coattails. So if there are “good” nominees in the Senate elections, it could help. Of course, with the limited coattails, I think we could also be looking at historic low voter turnout too, in which case I will return to my default position regarding this election: fuck if I know.
