Democratic Popular Vote Lead Keeps Growing

December 5, 2018 at 2:00 pm EST By Taegan Goddard

The Cook Political Report shows that the Democratic lead in the U.S. House popular vote for the 2018 midterms is now up to 8.5%.

Steve Benen: “For comparison purposes, note that in 2010 – which was widely seen as a GOP ‘wave’ cycle – Republicans won the U.S. House popular vote by 6.6%. In 1994, which was seen as a Republican ‘revolution,’ the GOP won the U.S. House popular vote by 7.1%.”

The idea for real. They could have communities so building solar, other green ideas along with smart housing, community gardens, organic stores, things normally in blue states.

It might not make us use to west coast or east move but it might make kids who leave to move for jobs stay. And some wanting to change the power grab.

The republicans would have to be more reasonable if the didn’t own a bunch of states.
