Highlight:

Our candidates need to explain how their agenda can be implemented without the Senate. [View all] LonePirate May 2019 OP

I'll give Schumer credit on Abrams. He begged her to run. Funtatlaguy May 2019 #1

Ostoff is running. Demsrule86 May 2019 #4

He couldn't beat Karen Handel. He's boring. Funtatlaguy May 2019 #5

Boring is not a character trait saidsimplesimon May 2019 #9

He came damn close. This is statewide so he is a good candidate and Demsrule86 May 2019 #11

Much rather have an African American face Cornyn. Funtatlaguy May 2019 #12

there was a lot of shady shit in that 2017 special election, especially in Dekalb County(strong Dem) Celerity May 2019 #21

I think the question about his residency in the district hurt him down Blue_true May 2019 #39

I agree, but (although Abrams would have been a better candidate) Ossoff can win statewide Celerity May 2019 #40

I don't disagree on any counts. nt Blue_true May 2019 #42

Agree ...disagree. Stacy won't run. He is our only shot so we get behind him and Demsrule86 May 2019 #53

He ran kind of early on in the Trump Administration, and he isn't boring JI7 May 2019 #41

That would be helpful to get the question out there lostnfound May 2019 #2

It can't be implemented without the Senate...so we need the Senate. This Demsrule86 May 2019 #3

Democrats could easily take the Senate IF they nominate the candidate with a PROVEN ability to Indygram May 2019 #6

I agree nt NYMinute May 2019 #8

There is no evidence of that. Demsrule86 May 2019 #13

So the proven ability to actually increase the youth vote by 500% wouldn't impact downticket races? Indygram May 2019 #43

He is going nowhere in the polls. You have to win a primary. Demsrule86 May 2019 #47

The only reason for that is because the media is butt hurt he wasn't doing interviews Indygram May 2019 #57

You mean the candidates for Senate treestar May 2019 #19

I mean that I think Beto would drastically increase youth turnout like he did in Texas Indygram May 2019 #44

We need the Senate but presidential elections are statewide like Senate elections Demsrule86 May 2019 #48

Some candidates' supporters NYMinute May 2019 #7

Retaking the senate is possible with the right candidate at the head of our ticket. Amimnoch May 2019 #10

I disagree. Biden can win the presidency. Beto isn't doing well. Demsrule86 May 2019 #14

Any of our candidates "can" win the presidency. Amimnoch May 2019 #16

Castro is out hurl May 2019 #27

Good to know.. Cha May 2019 #46

I actually think that would be a great ticket too... Beto/Abrams Indygram May 2019 #45

So the Senate is a long shot. We have a way better chance of knocking off Demsrule86 May 2019 #49

Would be better to go after both imo. Amimnoch May 2019 #58

We should go for everyone. But it doesn't look great. Thus the presidency Demsrule86 May 2019 #59

Me either. Demsrule86 May 2019 #50

No kidding. It is easy to promise things, but promise what you can do without the Senate. redstatebluegirl May 2019 #17

There is nothing you can do without the Senate except stopping Republicans. Demsrule86 May 2019 #51

Bullock and Hickenlooper are refusing to run as well. Not good. Very disappointed. Celerity May 2019 #18

That's always the case. treestar May 2019 #20

If this is the case, nothing much will get done - must take the Presidency to stop further damage Skya Rhen May 2019 #22

Whoever our candidate is should make the case that he needs the Senate. marylandblue May 2019 #23

What?! Our nominee's coattails will help win a senate majority. Hortensis May 2019 #24

Your post leaves me wondering if you do or do not understand the 2020 Senate map. LonePirate May 2019 #25

Senate reality, much like climate change, should not be denied but you do you. LonePirate May 2019 #36

Well, imagine they'd love it over in the cave. Hortensis May 2019 #37

The math doesn't work. TwilightZone May 2019 #29

We'll see. McConnell isn't so confident. Hortensis May 2019 #38

Has Stacey Abrams said she's not going to run for the Senate? Honeycombe8 May 2019 #32

Yes she did. Demsrule86 May 2019 #52
