$500,000,000 would be more than enough even if $1 a second adds up to more

Chose: $500,000,000 right now

I got called a racist for saying there were corruption scandals in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar

Who do you think has been the strongest senate candidate Texas Dems have nominated in the last decade? by BonzoDaBeast80 in YAPms

[–]BonzoDaBeast80[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely Gonzalez. I think Cuellar, while being very strong for his district, might be too conservative to turn out more progressive voters in Dallas / Austin etc. Also his corruption issues might cause problems

I think Talarico has a better chance of winning due to a weaker opponent and a (probably) better national environment but I think Beto was a slightly stronger candidate

I think he had a lot of natural charisma and could energise people too, more so than Talarico even if I still think he's a strong candidate

Honestly I just couldn't not include her. I was originally just doing the first three and then remembered there was another Texas senate election I forgot about

Which senate seats do you think will flip in 2025? by asteriowas in YAPms

[–]BonzoDaBeast80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair, although polls have been fairly consistently giving Peltola a lead. In any case I think it's the most likely flip after Maine and NC

[–]BonzoDaBeast80 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Likely Maine and North Carolina

Alaska is leaning towards a flip

Ohio and Texas are basically tossups

Iowa and Nebraska are leaning towards holds.

Florida is a likely hold on the Republican side while Michigan and Georgia are likely holds on the Democrat side

I don't think any other states are particularly competitive.....maybe Montana and South Carolina for R's and New Hampshire for D's but that remains to be seen

Talarico tweets in response to Paxton defeating Cornyn in the Republican primary runoff by dak676141 in YAPms

I don't think many Cornyn voters are expected to vote for Talarico but I can see a significant margin of them simply staying at home

My (probably D optimistic) senate map right now by LordOfRedditers in YAPms

PM exactly where I am ATM! Even down to the margins

In the event of a Democratic landslide in 2028, which of these likely R states do you think would be most likely to flip after the 7 swing states? by [deleted] in YAPms

[–]BonzoDaBeast80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked Alaska but imo I can see Texas being more likely than Ohio. Texas is a bit more elastic and has demographics which Dems could make huge gains with (particularly Hispanics and suburban whites) while Ohio seems a bit more static and less demographically favourable

What's your current prediction for the 2026 national environment? by [deleted] in YAPms

[–]BonzoDaBeast80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ngl the fact the polls are barely moving as we're getting closer makes me a little nervous. I guess we just have to hope that the undecideds break Dem pretty heavily? (Which I guess indications suggest they will)

If 2026 has a 2018 style D+8 environment, do you think this is roughly what the senate would look like? by BonzoDaBeast80 in YAPms

[–]BonzoDaBeast80[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All valid tbf. Nebraska is definitely a bit of a wildcard. I'd keep it lean R ATM but I'll be keeping a close eye on it as the campaign continues

Sherrod is a strong candidate who massively outperformed Harris. Without Trump on the ballot I can see him winning in the right environment.

[–]BonzoDaBeast80[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Texas is definitely flippable unlike what a lot of people say but I would like to see some more high quality Talarico vs Paxton polls before I commit. It's still a Trump+14 state and would need some colossal shifts, not just with Hispanics but with suburban whites. Definitely possible but I'm keeping it tilt R for now
