Man, you aren't very bright. Why would Moscow admit to undermining another country's democracy when Putin has been publicly denying it? Derp.




Exactly. So why would Dan Coates say that Moscow said that.

/e The same Dan Coates that Trump said was full of it, about the interference in the first place.

According to the article you quoted from, Dan Coats (not Coates) never said Moscow said that, he said he "believes" Moscow thinks they were successful...

Do i need to explain the difference in meanings between the words "believes" and "said"?...

You are so hilarious...

@ your edit, why did Pompeo just say the other day in his senate hearing that Trump accepts the findings of the intelligence community? Are you telling me Pompeo is lying? Or is trump lying? Which is it? Get your story straight FFS you look like a clown...

Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said Russia and other foreign entities were likely to attack U.S. and European elections this year and beyond, adding that Moscow believes similar efforts successfully undermined U.S. democracy two years ago.

that last question of the press conference was loaded and making false accusations with a starting statement.

@ 44:10
Just now president Putin denied having anything to do with the election interference in 2016. Every other US intelligence agency has concluded that Russia did. What..Who..My first question to you Mr. President is "Who do you believe?"


@ 30:09 is the first question about russian interference. you can skip over trumps response and go straight to putin @ 32:00
Quote
putin @32:00
you can trust no one


putin
33:42 he talks about a company that people try to take as a full response. although his response follows just after it.
34:00 he responds about the 12 in question.

media spin

Citing Trump, some Republican women to vote Democratic in Ohio election

In interviews with a dozen women, mostly Republicans, in the Midwestern state’s 12th Congressional District, several said they would buck their voting habits to support the Democratic candidate on Aug. 7, citing Trump as a major factor. Others said they disapproved of the president’s behavior but had yet to make up their minds about the congressional contest.

lol.


You should keep in mind that democrats are disadvantaged in both the senate and the house for natural, geographic reasons, and further disadvantaged in the house by gerrymandering.
(Gerrymandering is pursued by both parties, but more frequently by the GOP, so that gerrymandering is a net positive for the GOP when looking at the house in it's entirety. There are states, for example Maryland, which are gerrymandered in the Democrats' favor though.)

Therefore, most experts believe that the Democrats need to win the house popular vote by somewhere between 6 and 9 percentage points to take back the house. So as things stand now, the Democrats are slightly favored to take back the house, but it's actually still close to a coin flip at this point.

In the Senate, the Democrats are facing a horrendous map, so that they would need a wave election of epic proportions to actually take over the Senate this fall, and there's a nontrivial chance that the Democrats lose a seat or two in the Senate even if 2018 turns into a moderate-sized wave election for the Democrats.
