Honeycombe8's JournalBeto needs every vote he can get. Cruz has been ahead for some time, but there is slight trend....
there is a slight trend for Beto. IF there's a surge in several places, he could eek out a win. He's showing momentum in a couple of polls.
Are people nuts to vote for Cruz AGAIN?
What does a person mean when saying "Claire MCCaskill shouldn't be within 15 pts of the Republican."
It was on Morning Joe, talking about how meaningful it is that McCaskill has moved ahead of her Repub opponent by 3 pts, for McCaskill's third term. Someone said, "Wow...this will be a Democratic coup if this is pulled off. She ordinarily shouldn't be within 15 points of her opponent..."
I don't know if that means it was that unlikely for her to be re-elected, or if she should be such a shoe-in. I think he meant that it was very unlikely for her to be re-elected. They said something about her last win was partly because of her opponent, Akin?
Just wondering.
If Dems don't take back the House, and win other key races...I'm going to suspect hacking....
That's right. If Democrats miss taking back the House, and if they don't win the other key races, in accordance with all the numbers we're seeing leading up to the elections....
I'm going to strongly suspect the hacking was more successful than we thought it would be. There IS hacking going on. There IS voter suppression going on. But we're seeing such strong numbers, that we should be able to take the House and win some of the key races. If we don't, I think it is logical to conclude that the hacking and voter suppression stole some elections from us again.
I'm not paranoid or a conspiracy theorist. But there is evidence of the hacking and voter suppression, and we know the government has done little, if anything, to curtail the hacking.
If we have enough voters show up, we can win, despite the suppression and hacking. And then we can DO SOMETHING about the hacking and voter suppression, once we have the power to do it.

Paul Ryan: Trump can't end birthright citizenship
Paul Ryan said today that Trump can't end birthright citizenship.
It speaks! Who knew? 
The recent violence - because they see the writing on the wall?
Could the recent violence and attempted murders be because they see that the Democrats are likely to do well in the mid-terms? And then the Mueller report may be bad news?
They don't seem connected at first, but I can't help but think that if it looked like the Republicans were going to sweep, these violent men would hold off for a while. ???
The Campbell Soup VP who tweeted that Soros assisted the caravan has been ousted.
Kelly Johnston, formerly Campbell's vice president of government affairs, tweeted on Monday that the Open Society Foundations arranged for "troop carriers" and "rail cars" to support the caravan, which formed earlier this month in Central America. Johnston has since deleted his Twitter account.
Campbell and Johnston had discussed his leaving over the summer, the company said on Saturday. Johnston was scheduled to leave in November, but the tweet sped up his exit.
