Iowa GOP optimistic they could regain majority in Senate

The Democrats had argued Friday that Republicans were coordinating with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump to intimidate voters in violation of an agreement that the RNC has been forced to follow since 1982. Despite some polls tightening in the home stretch, a loss by Donald Trump in next week’s presidential race still looks like a strong bet _ and that may be good news for Texas Republicans. “And when I say great, I mean great for everyone”, Trump said. Republicans are strongly competitive in districts near Philadelphia, Denver and in upstate NY, while California Reps. Rogers were appointed by George W. Bush, and Judge Alice M. Batchelder by George H.W. Bush.

It is very likely that Trump can pull about the same level of the electorate as Mitt Romney in 2012 and John McCain in 2008.

He shocked many by saying he might not accept the election result if he lost, repudiating a US tradition of peaceful government transition. Hispanics will be 24 percent at that time, while African Americans will make up 14 percent of the population. At a recent campaign rally, he told voters, “We are going to win everything including the White House”.

Reality has been more complicated. Her opponent, Republican incumbent Mike Lee, has an nearly 20-point lead, but as Snow told the Salt Lake Tribune, “A lot of people have told me whether I win or lose, I’m already making a difference just by running”.

Of course, Texas Republicans aren’t conceding this election – especially amid suggestions that Clinton could be competitive in a state that hasn’t voted Democratic for president since Jimmy Carter in 1976. In Gwinnett County, a rising number of minorities could be changing the political landscape. They said this violated a decades-old consent decree that barred the RNC from engaging in “ballot security” efforts at polling places.

“It doesn’t really take a congressional committee to do anything for those to continue on”.

If McConnell was anxious about keeping the Senate under GOP control, he could simply attend events of his challenged Senate candidates, supporting them, avoiding the presidential election all together.

Timothy O’Brien, author of “TrumpNation: The Art of Being the Donald”, wrote that in the 1990s Trump was out of money and twice had to go to his siblings for loans.

The billionaire businessman made his remarks as he for the first time gave the Saturday morning radio speech that Republicans give in opposition to one that Obama gives. That judge kept open a case against Stone and his group pending a Monday hearing.

Missouri: Republican Sen. Roy Blunt, a longtime member of Congress, is in one of the toughest races against Democrat Jason Kander, Missouri’s secretary of state and a promising young recruit for the Democrats. Actually, it’s not hard.

Trump has effectively functioned as a smoke screen, or as cloud cover, for the remarkably consistent orchestration of a Republican scorched earth policy at the state level. Though the courts have knocked down certain voting-rights restrictions, overall the measures remain in place.

The milestone is a boon to Hillary Clinton’s chances of carrying the Sunshine State and its 29 electoral votes – a prize so large that it would help her close off most of Donald Trump’s paths to victory.

“This wouldn’t have been the year Democrats had a shot”, Gillespie said.

The Republican Party says the charges are not true.

Democratic leaders recruited candidates around the state to run on a theme of Republican overreach in the Statehouse.

An Ohio Judge ruled on Friday for a temporary restraining order from the state’s polling places to be given against the Trump campaign. But two-thirds of Hispanic voters have an unfavorable opinion of the Republican Party, and that is still disastrously bad. “And unfortunately for him, that party has a limited base of support in the Congress”. Some Republican politicians have nimbly and strategically tried to distance themselves from Trump or walked a tightrope, making that fine distinction between voting for him and endorsing him.

But, win or lose, Trump has set back his party among Hispanic voters in ways that may well be irreversible in the near to medium term. His rise to power has generated commentary that the Republican Party is split in half.
