The scenario I fear

Is yes, Ms Harris convinces a substantial number of people to vote for her, but down ticket they vote red.
We end up with the House being the clown show the Republicans seem to love, and we remain in the same situation we have presently.

And frankly, your scenario is probably the most likely of any outcome solely because of the uphill battle Tester faces in Montana.

But the scenario I fear is Harris straight-up losing in three weeks.

President Franklyn Roosevelt told me this back when there was a real fucking threat to the world with fascism exploding in 2 different world theaters.

Today? Putin has fucked Russia royally and for no apparent reason. He has set Russian back a couple of generations. A World-Class Moron that Trump seems to venerate. China - they are truly fucked. The CCP decided that they needed to control the financial/intellectual centers. The exodus of world manufacturing is cratering economy. And, at the same time, the new Chinese middle-class is getting killed on homes they have purchased that are now 25% of their former value.

By the end of this election cycle, Mrs. doble and I will have sent 900 GOTV postcards to newly registered or first-time registered voters in Arizona. The series of post cards has this logo on it.

Whatever the outcome, we know we did all that we could do, within our capabilities, to give President Harris both a House and Senate with Democratic majorities, to work with.
