Obviously she was married in and weasled into Senate by garbage policy and gerrymandering
There's no gerrymandering in the Senate. She represented the entire state because she was elected by the entire state, overwhelmingly. Twice.

Ok jay what % do you give Trump. 0% not being acceptable as an answer. He has a chance however slim it is.
To actually win the election? Or popular vote % I think he’s going to take in the election? I don’t know why suggested that I'd pick 0%; I've always cautioned people that because we don't know what environment Election Day will take place in since it's still so far away, they need to understand the fact that just because Trump is fundamentally unfit for office doesn't necessarily mean he can't win.
In one of these threads back in early May I believe I gave him a 30% chance and I think that's still about right. I'd put it 35% now: his floor has risen a little bit because a couple of things have improved for him (a few of the GOP's usual billionaire bankrollers have started bailing him out, he's got an official Super PAC now, his campaign's raising money, Comey's reckless editorializing, he avoided picking Christie/Newt, he's not getting tagged for breaking campaign finance law). At the same time his ceiling has come way down, there's been a lot of things coming out of various states that suggest it could be even harder for him to win than you'd have thought a few months ago, mainly voter registration numbers coming out of California, Nevada, Colorado, Georgia.
