NYT doing its best to minimize Democratic special election victories

1. Dems seem to have the enthusiasm edge

It doesn't necessarily follow that Dems will lose that advantage in the mid-terms, that GOP turnout will improve or that Rs who do turn out will vote for their party's nominee.

The FL special election seemed to be pretty high profile. The GOP tried to rally the troops and couldn't. What this tells me is that while Trump's base still loves him, they aren't enough by themselves to win.

4. Nate Silver or Nate Cohn?

11. Cohn

Silver constantly emphasized Trump had a substantial chance to win. His model was around 30%. Cohn only gave Trump 5-15%.

6. They may be small potatoes when taken individually

Still, when every new one announces a Democratic victory, the trend is hard to overlook.

8. Looking at twitter feed Nate Cohan his repuke leaning is @bout as subtle as a turd blossom

I’m sure if asked he would pull the great gopee talking head thing... bluster, pat answers! Yup, we got your number

12. Stop

Nate Cohn is fair. Just very cautious now.

10. Nate has a good point.

It's gonna be hard to sustain enthusiasm once the GOP stops attacking Medicare, Medicaid, social security, dreamers, blacks, women, etc. But considering that won't happen until never, I think we'll be okay.

13. Good, we don't want the pukes to overreact to this.
