The states that are purple or red, democrats have surprised wins due to abortion. In blue states (like NY), we underpreforms because democrats in those states think they are safe so it's not a top issue for them.

Only exception was FL.

It crosses party lines. Unless trump comes out as pro abortion he's utterly fucked. So he's utterly fucked.

The polling on trump reminds me of how Gavin was going to be recalled. It was going to be a nail biter. Hahahahaha

Are Human Rights. People understand that. Democratic leadership understands that too. Hang abortion restrictions around the necks of GQP candidates everywhere. They will sink like a stone.

…hold voters’ attention on this issue for another whole year, Connie got an interesting expression on her face. “You have no idea of the rage that is out there in the country.”

Good. Righteous rage is good.
