[Peace-discuss] Primary election day

[C G Estabrook]

The Democrats’ embrace of the War Party in the 'Russiagate’ hysteria - and their belligerence against Eurasia (Russia, China, DPRK) suggests that it’s dangerous to give them back the House of Representatives.

Given equally bad choices - so often the case - it’s probably now better to vote for a Republican for the House.

[Nathan L. Gonzales] Illinois Primaries: Ratings Changes in Two Races
Land of Lincoln may help Democrats gain seats

...The Illinois primaries are in the books, setting the stage for an important set of congressional elections in November. 

Assuming Democrat Conor Lamb is certified as the winner of the special election in Pennsylvania’s 18th District, Democrats still need a net gain of 23 seats to win the House majority. That’s a big enough gap that Democrats, instead of cherry-picking victories around the country, need to pick up a handful of seats in a few places. Illinois might be one of those states.

At this point, it feels like Democrats expect to gain at least two seats based on their confidence in a suburban surge in the 6th District and the strength of their nominee in the 12th District. A great night for Democrats would include victories in the 13th and 14th districts as well…
