1. They only need a margin of 3-4% to overcome gerrymandering

No wonder the republicans are shitting the drawers.

I can’t wait to see what the margin is a year from now when the economy is in recession and healthcare premiums have skyrocketed.

2. I think that's the best result all year

Maybe the shutdown is starting to have an impact

3. next survey question: do you support or oppose republican cancellation of midterms
