It'll eventually get challenged and forced to "shall issue". Now that the Supreme Court has a majority of originalists and any appointments for the next few years will also be originalists, Democrats have no chance of unofficial bans.

The re-elected Governor COULD also go Yolo and be like "Shall issue ***", by directing the State PD to allow, but doubt that will happen. Be also nice to have reciprocity, doubt that will happen.
Prolly gonna pony up and get the DC Permit soon.
Also, Tazers are fully legal now in MD and DC. Might pony up for one of them too this year instead of another pew pew for my collection.
Ill call it my Zap Zap.

The Dems have to pray that old Ruthy can stay alive for two more years. Otherwise, I'm imagining a Weekend at Bernie's scenario.

Looks like the Dems did flip Nevada last night, and Scott Walker lost in Wisconsin. So as expected, 2020 looks great. Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin went blue.

Nevada and Wisconsin aren't surprise results, and 2020 is not in good shape for the Democrat Senate map. Only two Republicans are up for reelection in blue states, and on the Dem side Doing Jones is very vulnerable.

If you have a problem with that analysis, take it up with your golden boy Nate Silver.

It looks great for the Electoral College map. Dems only need to flip those 3 states, and Pennsylvania and Michigan are pretty much foregone conclusions.

That's what you said in 2016 and Dems still don't have a single viable candidate to oppose Trump. So, you might want to hold your predictions for another year or so.

You are going to need a new line, 2016 is irrelevant. Pennsylvania and Michigan just swung heavily back to the Dems after narrowly going for Trump. He isn't going to win there again. Just have to ride out these last two years of temper tantrums and he is gone.

Hay! We can make it to 100 pages without someone getting Topic Banned.

Beto could be the VP selection, he had a great showing.

to be fair, nominating someone who just lost the midterms sounds like an ill conceived plan the DNC would pull.

CJ called for civilians to be set on fire for having views different than his. Like I said, if we make it to 100 it's only because the mods are MIA.

That's why I said VP, lol. Warren can still win pretty easily, last night was another big night for women, and she won by 25 points. Nobody cares about her heritage.

Vic and CJ, it's time for a reality check. Take a break and get back to us later.
By Viciouss 2018-11-07 09:02:33
Yeah, we couldn't wait for these midterms, and we can't wait for 2020. Trump has no incumbent advantage, and the Electoral College favors the Dems. We can stay right here, thanks tho.

last night was another big night for women
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the youngest woman ever elected to congress is ... kinda hot

Do me a favor and get Warren through the primaries then, if you're so confident in her. We couldn't ask for a greater gift.

LOL It's all subjective =D

You can't mount a platform against her lol. But like I said, we can't wait, almost anyone will be able to defeat Trump. The Electoral College favors the Dems, and Trump is a moral failure.
