The single most important thing we want to achieve is for Senator McConnell to be a one term senator

She has my vote. Did last time when she lost to Andy Barr though.

Arizona poll shows Kelly overtaking McSally

Sen. Martha McSally (R-Ariz.) trails her Democratic opponent for the first time, according to a new survey, as President Trump's approval rating falls in the key swing state.

Retired astronaut Mark Kelly leads McSally, the retired fighter pilot-turned-politician, by a 46 percent to 41 percent margin, according to the poll conducted by OH Predictive Insights, a Phoenix-based pollster, and released first to The Hill.

The survey represents the first time this year that OH Predictive Insights has shown Kelly leading McSally. In February, the firm showed McSally leading by 2 percentage points. In May, McSally led by a single point.

McSally has fallen behind, the poll suggests, as President Trump's standing takes a hit in Arizona. Just 47 percent of likely voters in the state approve of Trump's job performance, down from 50 percent in May and 54 percent in October. His disapproval rating has risen from 46 percent last October to 52 percent today.

"Trump has seen a steady downward decline in his job approval," said Mike Noble, a Republican pollster and the managing partner and chief of research at OH Predictive Insights.

The poll shows a dangerous trend for McSally, who now trails Kelly by 9 percentage points in Maricopa County, home to about 3 in 5 Arizona voters. In the group's last poll, McSally trailed Kelly in Maricopa by 5 points.

Down ballot in my Assembly District, Senate District and House District are all boring. Our House rep ran essentially unopposed the last couple of times. We don't have a Senate election next year. But the last time we had a Senate election both contenders were from the same party (D)! Maybe I should buy a house in some place competitive like AZ just to vote in a competitive election - I really like Mark Kelly.

ba bye, Cory:

A woman I know who lives in California posted on Facebook last night that she is a proud Jewish Democrat and that Trump should not tell her what to do nor speak for her as a Jewish Democrat.
She followed it up with "I make my own decisions".
Well, an attorney (who happens to be Jewish) that she and I are mutual friends with felt the need to respond - "You go ahead and vote for Ilhan Omar, you traitor".
Yes folks, this is the fucking country I live in today.
Idiot me felt the need to give him the attention he is seeking and responded to him.
This is what I said, "Nancy lives in California. What is Ilhan Omar running for that Nancy can vote for her? I guess you must be a Republican with as Trump would say, "a total lack of knowledge".

Sorry for the hijack.
Please carry on.

I like him because he says what he means, and isn't beholden to anyone.

One of the Clinton impeachment House managers.

If I wasn't an open-minded, objective, both sides do it, non-partisan, I'd begin to get the impression that republicans know that their policies and candidates are so repulsive to Americans, that they feel the need to rig the vote, or lose:

Court throws out North Carolina's congressional district maps

North Carolina cannot use the existing maps for its congressional districts in next year's elections, a state court ruled late Monday, declaring them to be invalid partisan gerrymanders.

The ruling was a victory for state Democrats who lost a battle when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled earlier this year that such challenges were beyond the authority of federal courts to referee. So the fight resumed in state court, citing violations of North Carolina's constitution.

99, you're a great American!

Hard to imagine Bevin losing, despite his lack of popularity, in a state that Trump carried by 30 points in 2016.
