Not that I would completely write off Georgia, but it always felt like quite a longshot to me.

You don't need a justification. Voters care very little about process stuff and won't punish the GOP for blocking Supreme Court picks forever.
Republicans have to fold eventually.
There's no fucking way they hold for that long. McCain backed off when he got shit on about the stonewalling comments earlier in the week, granted he's in a race and has to be chickenshit but lord I can't see them hold for years and coming out clean.

That's why you hack the tabulating computers and not the voting machines.

Can the republicans do anything to block the SCJ nomination if the democrats control the senate?

They're barely outpacing 2012, a year in which Romney's campaign/Republicans didn't really take early voting seriously. Being able to match that when Republicans are floundering miserably in other states speaks to having some semblance of a ground game I suppose, but still not a very good one.
Filibuster - SCOTUS justices still need 60 votes.
Assuming Schumer doesn't nuke it.

I did in '12. It was a bunch of political nerds staring at screens while eating pizza and drinking booze/smoking weed. Good times. Can't do it this time due to the wife and kids. :-/

He better nuke it. I think most Dems know the GOP will nuke it the moment they get all 3 branches anyways.
If they try to filibuster after that whole song and dance about letting the next president make the pick, it's going to get nuked surely.

Which he should. The GOP will do it in 2018 if we don't, and I'd like to make the next 2 years as productive as possible.

How long did you have to wait in line?Just did my early voting here in NC!
The backup contingency for that is they are still stored on the actual voting machines themselves and can be checked, further backup contingency would be the actual paper ballots in the machines.
Surprisingly, our voting system is actually relatively secure as the majority of the country still utilizes paper ballots.
It's not surprising that the IA Republican party has a competent ground game considering how the whole caucus process is every 4 years.
He was also atrocious about asking Trump to actually answer his questions. He'd ask something, let Trump go on a completely unrelated tangent for two minutes and then just move on or make Clinton respond to Trump's non-answer.
Asked my family if anyone wanted to go to the Clinton/Kaine rally in Pittsburgh tomorrow as a joke, because they're all crazy conservatives. Two people replied thus far:
"No thanks. We are pro life."
"No I don't visit with the devil"
That last one was my mom. Oh, the hilarity.

There isn't one. If the democrats take the house, it's gone.
if the republicans hold on to the house, it will probably live another day though- they won't be able to get anything through the house anyway, and the filibuster will prevent democrats from having to take potentially damaging positions on ridiculous bills that hit the floor.
There was zero line when I went. Aside from a handful of elderly people, it was just my mom and I there. They told us it was way busier this morning before folks had to go to work, but even then I was shocked at how empty it was.
Studguy... this what you wanted, right? This is my promise I made to you.

It amazes me every day that Trump is promoting himself as the law-and-order candidate when he's hired Roger Ailes, Roger Stone, James O'Keefe, Chris Christie, and numerous other criminals and he's probably a tax evader and he gives constant interviews to violent criminal Bill O'Reilly.
Just say "I want the blacks to be put in prison," there's no one in the world who actually believes Trump cares about law and order.

I would like dems to take an angle of attack using all the republicans saying that "I am supporting the republican nominee" in response to "are you supporting Trump"
I suppose many of these people are surrogates and not necessarily elected officials, but I think it would be a good route to take to say "For the GOP it's not about what is right, their morals, or their values. When it comes down to it, the only answer for them is Party over everything."

In response to the thread comparing Trump to Brexit...
You know what GAF, other than financially, Brexit isn't that bad. It shouldn't be news to anyone that citizens of island nations could disproportionately have isolationist views.
The problem is that the single market and thus freedom of movement are vital to the UK's economy, and the UK already has a sweetheart deal with the EU, so the advisory vote should be ignored. Brexiters want their cake and to eat it too, but they won't get to.
Don't compare leaving the EU to someone who won't concede defeat in a democracy...

The top minds in the proto-Hillary Clinton 2016 campaign infrastructure are already gaming out Electoral College scenarios. What they think they have is a candidate who could compete in a handful of traditionally red states, putting Republicans on the defensive and increasing her chances of winning the White House.
Mitch Stewart, Obama's 2012 battleground state director who is now an independent consultant advising the grassroots group Ready for Hillary, laid out the electoral math to TPM in a recent interview. Clinton will start with Obama's map, he said, and can build from there.
There are two buckets of states potentially in play. Arkansas, Indiana and Missouri comprise one bucket. The first is a somewhat unique case, given Clinton's history there, while the other two were razor-thin in 2008, but the principle is the same: Clinton has a record of appealing to white working-class voters -- especially women -- and they could be enough when paired with the Obama coalition to pull out a win.
"Where I think Secretary Clinton has more appeal than any other Democrat looking at running is that with white working-class voters, she does have a connection," Stewart said. "I think she's best positioned to open those states."

Yep. Him, Pence, the Republicans, all believe in continuing the criminalization of black communities and keep them from voting.

Some analysts pretty badly confused Hillary being strong with working class whites with the actual results of racist white Democrats preferring Hillary to a black man in the primaries.

Those Safeguard's rely on the majority's whim.
Should the teaparty centric GOP take all three branches of government, does anyone really expect them to keep it around and to let the Democrats block their legislation?
It would be a further right congress than the one that almost nuked the nations finances with the debt ceiling.
Sorry, but I don't think you can rely on norms when the other party has only shown a complete disregard for anything but winning every battle regardless of self harm and factual outcome.

That Rudy Giuliani video is so creepy, and it really emphasizes just how easily people like him can legitimately defend people who commit sexual assault when Giuliani does not understand boundaries like that.

We at least have the rank ordering of racist white Dems with regards to the groups they don't like.
Jews > White women > black men

A few Georgia polls came out today and they all show Trump with 2-4 point leads. Looks like it's not flipping this year.
True meaning: I talked to a strategist and he laughed me out of the room.
