If only there was some way they could get hundreds of thousands of new people into the US who would have already been indoctrinated by leftist thought in their countries of origin.
or just improve the education system such that the lower class understands that upper class tax cuts and slashing entitlement programs is not in their best interest

It can be beneficial in some cases, not how the red team did it last year, but yeah... teaching finance and macro economics in high school would be highly beneficial to voters.

Early voting opened yesterday. I went around noon, which wasn't smart because there was a lunch rush. It took nearly an hour but the line was not that much shorter when I left. Normally midterms aren't like that but we also have our governor's race which is very contentious this time and drawing a lot of attention.
*first day early voting in Georgia jumped from 20,000 in '14 to over 69,000 yesterday

Sinema embarrassed McSally last night, but I don't think it'll matter. McSally mentioned her service about 100 times and wore her stupid fighter plane necklace.

Pretty damn sure McSally's gonna pull it out in the end.

I don't know what the fuck Argo is talking about, Sinema had like a 10-point lead in May/June and now it's a dead heat/leaning McSally.

Surprised to see McConnell admitting this morning that not only didn’t the tax cuts “pay for themselves” by any measure he can find, but that he’s still eager to go after Medicaid and all available social supports to cover the costs. The midterms were the whole reason that the GOP dropped that talk. Weird choice of timing to return to it now.

If Democrats had any talent for messaging, they’d be playing those clips all over the country for weeks. But they don’t so.

Trump will be rallying for McSally on Friday at an airport two miles from me and, of course, she will be arriving in a vintage WWII plane.

Went to early voting today. I had to circle the parking lot 3 times before I could park. Viva la Revolucion!
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I trust you guys have been swayed by my airtight, perfect arguments and will be voting correctly. Not for those limp-wristed socialists.
