re: #425 Jay C

Kasich isn’t running this year (elected 2014): is seems unlikely that any negative attitudes towards him are going to much affect the GE vote. Dedicated Trump voters are going to vote for him in any case, fence-sitters may hold their noses and vote, or ignore the top line, or stay home: but it’s more likely they’ll simply do what they would do anyway.

The thing I’m going to be watching for next Tuesday is how many of the Deplorables undervote down ballot races (or vote for third party nominees) because the Republican nominee had the audacity to not fully support Trump. There are six or seven very close Senate races and if a significant number of Deplorables go that route (and let’s face it, they seem to be driven by spite as much as anything), that could result in the Dems sweeping those close races.
