'Wave versus the map': Democratic control of Senate moves from preposterous to possible
The Washington Post
Paul Kane 4 hrs ago

Not anymore. The debate has grown over Democrats' chances of capturing control of the agenda and holding power over Trump's nominations, including potential vacancies on the Supreme Court.

The dispute pits the practitioners of big data against those who also scout candidates and measure broader political atmosphere to make their bets.

Both sides agree Democrats face a narrow path to gain two seats needed to reclaim the majority — but there is a debate over just how narrow.


Even after Sen. Doug Jones (D) won his improbable Alabama special election last month, Democrats still face an imposing task: They are defending 26 seats of their own to just eight Republican seats up for grabs.

"Just how bad is this map for Democrats? It's bad enough that it may be the worst Senate map that any party has faced ever," Nate Silver, the founder of Five Thirty Eight, the data analytics blog covering sports and politics, wrote Wednesday.

   @truth_seeker  I don't necessarily agree with the Author's premise and obviously you don't either.  I'm sure you think I post only 'hate Trump' $hit, solidified recently by @Frank Cannon bitching about The Hill articles here.
   If we TBR's, that post articles, limited ourselves to only posting articles from Pro Trump sites, this place would devolve into the same crap most of us ran away from.  /JS

   I was just informed by a Mod, that I was being over sensitive and that you @truth_seeker were not attacking me, personally, but the articles author.     
   He/She/It stopped short of asking me to apologize but I will anyway, at a time to be announced later.

Confirms my diagnosis corbe. You are in more dire need of a blowjob than any white man in history.

What does three up and three down mean to you, Airman?

Did you see "all types?"

My word choices are mild and tame compared to some stuff that you allow here.

You alone have the power to determine what is to be the tone of your site.

My preference is toward a clean language place, evidenced to you by my many complaints over the last 18 months.

    I really doubt if there are any Minors here @truth_seeker. We are all Adults and though some language/Images that I post may seem offensive to the more Religious folks here they don't seem to do half the bitching the Trumpers do when one of us Nevers goes off on our President.  /JS

   I wouldn't have it any other way, from Atheist to Devout from AT'er to NT'er.  We are all here of our own choice and the increasing hits/posts/new members say there is more joy than some want to recognize.

Does that have something to do with this?

Didn't I have to put you straight on this issue a few days ago?

MSN was not the original source. If you note the byline, it came from The Washington Post. If you want to shoot the messenger, shoot the right one.

it's coming real soon..but not what you will like.

I and the Mods are tired of being name calling police so I am about to change the rules that all the pro and anti Trump names will be acceptable as we can't stop it...and are tired of post reports about so and so called me a Trumper, Never Trumper, Clintonista....etc.

So far, we have name calling,  TMI on someone's sex life and an attempt to lecture this forum's owner. What's this thread about, anyway?

    To you @mountaineer and other Briefers I respect, I apologize and edited my offending post.
