Take a look at those red counties. Republicans need to get turnout in those areas as high as possible, especially because the Democrats’ Get Out The Vote machine has been refined for efficiency quite a bit in the past few years.
>Senate: Debbie Stabenow (D) vs John James (GOP, probable candidate)
>Debbie Stabenow is a three term Senator who first won in 2000 with 49.5% of the vote, won in 2006 with 57% of the vote, and won in 2012 with 59% of the vote…much has changed since 2012, however
>voted for Obamacare and did her best to kill any attempts to reform it.
Here is a Quick Rundown on Virginia for the midterms for anyone who might not be aware Was red for years and years before turning blue for Obama in 2008. Government workers living in DC suburbs turned blued it up. However, it is still possible to take back the state !
>Hillary’s sidekick in 2016, got destroyed by Pence at the primaries, became governor of Virginia and later Senator despite looking and acting like a cross between child molester and teacher’s pet
>relies on government workers from Northern Virginia, felons, and illegal immigrants to win
>smeared for his praise for Paul “can’t hide my power level” Nehlen when he was challenging Paul Ryan; denounced him after he revealed his power level
>hard worker, travels all around Virginia to campaign and speak to people directly and answer their questions
>Republican Party hasn’t won statewide in Virginia since 2009, though they’ve always ran establishment cucks. For 2018, we are trying something DIFFERENT
>strong on immigration and all the important issues
Corey must get turnout in those red counties as high as possible. If Tim Kaine gets mediocre turnout from Hillary 2016 voters and Stewart gets super high turnout from Trump 2016 voters, WE CAN WIN THIS
According to RCP, the Montana Senate race hasn't been polled since September 22nd. What are our thoughts on Rosendale winning there? I have to imagine pretty good since Trump won it by 20.
Let's look at the elections in general and close races. I'm reviewing betting markets because they deliver above average predictions from aggregation. The Senate looks good because it's mostly Democrats on the line. 86% of Senators historically get reelected.
Historically 96% of Congressmen win reelection. With that in mind the Democrats would gain about 20 seats, but not a majority if that trend holds. Midterm electorates are usually older and whiter, but that's not necessarily going to repeat. I don't think it's super predictable.
Ted Cruz is probably the most vulnerable Republican incumbent. Texas is becoming more Mexican and Californian everyday. O'Rourke is very energized both personally and with outside money. That being said he will probably still win.
Jon Tester has a decent chance of winning reelection. Montana is a Republican state, but the local Republican party is retarded. The Democrats win elections locally by pointing out that the Republican candidate either supported a sales tax or wasn't born in Montana. Rosendale was born in Maryland so this pattern holds. Rosendale had a joint rally with Trump so that may help his odds, but it's hard to say.
North Dakota went solidly for Trump and it looks like it will remain Republican in 2018. This is a good race to focus on because it is winnable. It would be easier to make a difference here than in many races.
New Jersey is a bit of a longshot, but the local Democratic party isn't united behind Menendez. Menendez just had a hung jury in a corruption trial and he is the top AIPAC recipient of donations. The GOP is united behind Hugin.
-Chances are, you have made right-leaning internet friends and acquaintances through your time on various forums, message boards, image boards, social media sites, IRC, chat clients like Steam/Twitch/Discord. Make a list of all of these people, and IMMEDIATELY message them to tell them about the 2018 Midterm Elections. Tell them that because Congress is arguably more powerful than the Presidency, defending Congress from the left is arguably more important than electing Trump. Tell them that if the Democrats take back Congress, they could be further suppressed by the Hate Speech laws the left is salivating for. Tell them they NEED TO VOTE ON NOVEMBER 6! Tell them that they also need to SPREAD THE MESSAGE to everyone they know about the IMPORTANCE OF THE MIDTERMS. Tell them that the same leftists who want them dead, want their children brainwashed or dead, or at the very least want them persecuted to the point where they might as well be dead – all are spending lots of effort on getting Democrats elected. It is likely that over a BILLION dollars will be spent on getting them elected. Hillary had no problem getting that kind of money. Hundreds of Democrats all around the nation won’t have a problem either.
[ ] use a disposable email and sign up for The Daily Kos, Democratic Underground, and any other online leftist space you feel like; start racking up posts masquerading as a leftist (shouldn’t be hard, just rant about Russian bots, mimic their quirks like “yet another scared little white male afraid of losing power”); become a reputable poster so that you can set things up for later psy-ops
[ ] make a fake leftist Twitter account, follow a bunch of leftists and masquerade as a basedboy / SJW harpy by writing up a bunch of leftist sounding tweets
[ ] make a list of all Trump supporting / right-leaning people you know on social media, Steam, forums, etc; pm them to ask if they’re voting in the primaries and this November in the midterms; keep track of them every once in a while to ensure that they do
[ ] compile a folder of memes and a word document of copypastas to make certain things more efficient
Probably some pasta but the message hasnt changed a bit.
Dont be fucking lazy, register and vote because each and every one of them count.

*signifies candidate has already won the primary in their state Does it need any fixing?
Polls Close in Indiana: Senate. Joe Donnelly (D) vs Mike Braun (R). We’re going to be examining the county results in comparison to 2012 results. This is a potential Senate pickup for the GOP. Braun is an outsider businessman candidate ala Trump.
Polls Close in Georgia: Governor. Stacey Abrams (D) vs Brian Kemp (R). We’re going to be examining the county results in comparison to 2014 results. Abrams is a charismatic black woman who has an interesting plan involving getting unlikely voters (minority, youth) to turn out in high numbers.
Polls Close in South Carolina: Not much to examine here.
Polls Close in Vermont: Not much to examine here. Phil Scott (R) and Bernie Sanders should easily win re-election.
Polls Close in Virginia: Tim Kaine (D) vs Corey Stewart (R). While Kaine is favored to win, it’ll be interesting to see what kind of lead Stewart might have due to turnout in the western and rural parts of Virginia. NoVa results will come in later. We can compare results to the 2012 Senate race. Stewart is a bit tainted by his association with certain figures from Charlottesville.
Polls Close in North Carolina: Not much to examine here.
Polls Close in Ohio: Senate – Sherrod Brown (D) vs Jim Renacci (R). Governor – Richard Cordray (D) vs Mike DeWine (R). We’ll be comparing results to 2012 Senate and 2014 Gubernatorial. The Democratic candidates have been leading, but this could be competitive. Sherrod Brown is a two-term incumbent who would have been a solid VP pick for Hillary in 2016. A GOP Senate pickup here would imply a Senate majority of close to 60.
Polls Close in West Virginia: Senate – Joe Manchin (D) vs Patrick Morrissey (R). We’ll be comparing results to 2012. This is a potential pickup for the GOP, though Manchin is a savvy politician who is not making it easy for Morrissey. He knows how to appeal to the multitudes of people who gave WV to Trump in 2016 by gigantic margins.
Polls Close in Connecticut: Not much to examine here other than the gubernatorial race.
Polls Close in Delaware: Not much to examine here.
James Murphy
Polls Close in Florida: Senate – Bill Nelson (D) vs Rick Scott (R). Governor – Andrew Gillum (D) vs Ron DeSantis (R). We’ll be comparing results to the 2012 Senate and 2014 Gubernatorial races. Gillum vs DeSantis is basically a proxy war between Sanders and Trump. Nelson is a longtime incumbent who could meet his end this year.
Polls Close in Illinois: Not much to examine here. Pritzker (D) should easily beat Rauner (R) in the gubernatorial race. It’ll be interesting to see how many votes self proclaimed Nazi Arthur Jones gets in his race against Dan Lipinski.
Polls Close in Maine: Senate – Angus King (Independent, D aligned) vs Zak Ringelstein (D) vs Eric Brakey (R). Ranked choice voting involved. Angus King should easily win re-election. We will focus on Bruce Poliquin’s House Race in ME-02
Off the 29 tossups, we need to win at least 20. They can be any 20 of these. I bolded the ones who are ideologically sound or the ones we are likely to win according to polling. I italicized the ones who are ideologically unsound or are likely to lose…
This assumes that we keep all the Safe R, Likely R, and Lean R races. It also assumed the Democrats keep all the Safe D, Likely D, and Lean D races.
1. CA-10: Jeff Denham 2. CA-25: Steve Knight 3. CA-39: Edward Royce 4. CA-45: Mimi Walters (ideologically sound) 5. CA-48: Dana Rohrabacher (ideologically sound) 6. IA-03: David Young 7. IL-06: Peter Roskam 8. IL-12: Mike Bost 9. KS-02: Lynn Jenkins 10. KY-06: Andy Barr 11. ME-02: Bruce Poliquin (likely to win) 12. MI-08: Mike Bishop 13. MN-01: Jim Hagedorn 14. MN-08: Pete Stauber (likely pickup) 15. NC-08: Mark Harris 16. NC-13: Ted Budd (likely to win) 17. NJ-03: Tom MacArthur (seems doomed) 18. NJ-07: Leonard Lance 19. NM-02: Yvette Herrell 20. NY-19: John Faso 21. NY-22: Claudia Tenney 22. OH-01: Steve Chabot (likely to win) 23. PA-01: Brian Fitzpatrick (seems doomed) 24. TX-07: John Culberson (likely to win) 25. TX-23: Will Hurd (likely to win, albeit not ideologically sound) 26. TX-32: Pete Sessions (ideologically sound) 27. VA-02: Scott Taylor (likely to win) 28. VA-07: Dave Brat 29. WA-08: Dino Rossi

>Reminder that this is the thread that shills want to slide >Reminder that the midterms are arguably MORE IMPORTANT than the 2016 election, because there is more power in Congress than in the Presidency >Reminder that The Left is absolutely bloodthirsty for their Blue Wave and will stop at nothing to crush you and have their revenge for what happened in 2016 >Reminder that they’ve shut down Alex Jones and other online right-wing figures BECAUSE of the fact that the midterms are coming up. Are you going to let their plan work?? >Reminder that the survival of Jow Forums itself is at stake. The Democrats WILL shut down this site if they take back power. COUNT ON IT!
The core focus of Red Storm is on enacting change – not only for the 2018 midterms this year, but change in yourself, change in those around you, change in politics as a whole, and all the tactics and strategies required to create those changes. For too long, much of the right-wing is embroiled with whining in impotent rage, while the left has been much more adept at influencing the culture of the west and the individuals that surround it, and on applying underhanded tactics to score victories on the political front.
However, it should be obvious to all that the right can strike back. The mere fact that many of you are former leftists is proof enough that their control of the schools and universities isn’t foolproof. The mere fact that Trump won despite the vast majority of the media engaged in an all-out propaganda campaign proves that their influence on the population isn’t as strong as they would like it to be.

Yes, Trump is surrounded by neocon advisors who want to undermine our interests. You have every right to be upset and suspicious.
Yes, the Republican Party is an inept organization filled with cuckservatives and born losers. You have every right to be cautious about supporting them. Keep in mind that many on the left say the same thing about the Democratic Party!
Yes, many of us aren’t getting what we want, and when we do get it we aren’t getting at the speed we want. You have every right to be disappointed, but that’s how a politics in America works. Keep in mind that this happens to the left and the Democratic Party too!
However, the wise thing to do is to focus on what you can directly control, then ramp things up from there.
Here’s what you can control….
-You can focus on self-improvement, to make yourself into a healthier, stronger, more knowledgeable, more well-spoken, more charming (etc) person. Realize that all that will make you a more attractive representative of your cause, and you will be far more equipped to enact the political and cultural changes you want as a result!

Well well isn't it our old pal moarpheus

HOW TO RED STORM -In regards to the 2018 midterms, you can vote against the Democrats, and get everyone you know on the right to do so as well.
-If you don’t want to support the Republicans, you can still pay attention to the elections in 2018 and learn all the factors that cause one side to win, and the other side to lose. This means that in the future, you’ll know how to win. Trump defied all odds in his 2016 victory, but sadly much of the Republican Party isn’t learning from it…but you can.
-You can learn tactics and strategies for influencing those around you. I will be writing a lot about this in the future, but keep in mind that with some introspection you will know why you believe what you believe, which will in turn help you get others to at least see where you’re coming from.
-You can learn how to deal with shills and legitimate opposition. You can learn how to conduct yourself in debate against those who agree to engage in rational debate with you, and you can learn how to deal with those who simply seek to be disruptive or deliberately
Connor Sanchez
If you're Republican or Democrat then you should lurk moar. Jow Forums is a NatSoc board and will support whichever party ends white genocide the quickest, either in peace or war. We tried the peaceful route with Trump and got nowhere. So let the Democrats open our borders and put the issue of white genocide to every normalfags face so they can't help but wake-up. Don't forget that stopping white genocide is the goal, not liberal tears or any other distraction.
Jacob Baker
That's dumb
Julian Evans
>white genocide should continue to happen silently in the background of Trump's administration That's Jewish
How's that? Trump hasn't worked. What is there to lose at this stage?
Isaiah Flores
Everything.
Alexander Martinez
Polls Close in Maine: Senate – Angus King (Independent, D aligned) vs Zak Ringelstein (D) vs Eric Brakey (R). Ranked choice voting involved. Angus King should easily win re-election. We will focus on Bruce Poliquin’s House Race in ME-02.
Polls Close in Maryland: Not much to examine here.
Polls Close in Massachusetts: Not much to examine here.
Evan Allen
>muh non-answers Sorry nigger but peace/Trump hasn't worked. The only remaining option is what I described.
Polls Close in Maryland: Not much to examine here.
Polls Close in Massachusetts: Not much to examine here.
Polls Close in Mississippi: The only race to focus on is the special election. A runoff is likely. You have hard-right Chris McDaniel (R), ‘establishment’ Cindy Hyde-Smith (R), and Mike Espy (D) .
Polls Close in Missouri: Senate – Claire McCaskill (D) vs Josh Hawley (R). We’ll be comparing results to 2012 Senate. McCaskill is a two-term incumbent who might meet her end this year. A GOP pickup here would be crucial to Republican hopes of expanding their Senate majority.
Nah. I wouldn't save my People just to sell them into slavery to Israel. The whole world will die before that happens.
Connor Garcia
So you wanna larp some DOTR bullshit?
Benjamin Baker
Polls Close in New Hampshire: We will be focusing on the NH-01 race between Eddie Edwards (R) and Chris Pappas (D).
Polls Close in New Jersey: Senate – Bob Menendez (D) vs Bob Hugin (R). We’ll be comparing things to 2012 Senate results. Hugin has been pounding Menendez with countless ads and has been closing in. A GOP pickup in such a blue state would be a massive upset to what was supposed to be a Blue Wave year.
Polls Close in Oklahoma: Not much to examine here.
Polls Close in Pennsylvania: Senate – Bob Casey (D) vs Lou Barletta (R). We’ll be comparing things to 2012 Senate results. This could be closer than expected. PA is a rust belt state, so a GOP pickup here (or even coming close) would bode well for Trump’s chances in the state in 2020.
Polls Close in Rhode Island: Not much to examine here other than the gubernatorial race.
Polls Close in Tennessee: Senate – Phil Bredesen (D) vs Marsha Blackburn (R). We’ll be comparing things to 2012 Senate results. This could be closer than expected. Bredesen is a popular former governor who won every single county in his re-election in 2006.
Polls Close in Arkansas: Not much to examine here.
(9:00 PM)
Asher Green
Polls Close in Arizona: Senate – Kyrsten Sinema (D) vs Martha McSally (R). Governor – David Garcia (D) vs Doug Ducey (R). We’ll be comparing to 2012 Senate results and 2014 Gubernatorial results. Senate election expected to be close. Sinema is rated as the most bipartisan House Democrat and has amassed quite a bit of money. A Democratic pickup here would be crucial to dreams of taking the Senate from the GOP.
Polls Close in Louisiana: Not much to examine here
Polls Close in Michigan: Senate – Debbie Stabenow (D) vs John James (R). Governor – Gretchen Whitmer (D) vs Bill Schuette (R). We’ll be comparing to 2012 Senate and 2014 Gubernatorial. John James pulling off an upset or coming close would bode well for Trump’s chances in the state in 2020.
Polls Close in Minnesota: Senate – Amy Klobuchar (D) vs Jim Newberger (R) and Tina Smith (D) vs Karin Housley (R). Governor – Tim Walz (D) vs Jeff Johnson (R). A GOP victory in the Special Senate election and the gubernatorial election isn’t totally far fetched. Trump almost won Minnesota in 2016 (hasn’t gone Republican since Nixon in 1972). A strong GOP performance here would bode well for his 2020 chances in the state.
Polls Close in New York: Senate – Kirsten Gillibrand (D) vs Chele Farley (R). Governor – Andrew Cuomo (D) vs Marc Molinaro (R). House races to focus on include NY-18, NY-19, NY-24. Gillibrand and Cuomo likely victors.
Polls Close in North Dakota: Senate – Heidi Heitkamp (D) vs Kevin Cramer (R). We will be comparing results to 2012 Senate. A GOP pickup here is absolutely crucial to Republican dreams of expanding their Senate majority.
Polls Close in South Dakota: Not much to examine here.
Polls Close in Texas: Senate – Beto O’Rourke (D) vs Ted Cruz (R). Governor – Lupe Valdez (D) vs Greg Abbott (R). Cruz and Abbott likely victors. House races to focus on include TX-07, TX-23, TX-32. Beto is one of the most hyped up candidates of 2018, possibly *the* most. He would need to at least come close in order to be perceived as a success.
Polls Close in Wisconsin: Senate – Tammy Baldwin (D) vs Leah Vukmir (R). Governor – Tony Evers (D) vs Scott Walker (R). House races to focus on include WI-01. If Vukmir pulls off an upset or comes close, it would bode well for Trump’s chances in 2020.
