3 minMore fake election-night analysis covering a Kentucky House race, Amy McGrath, and speculation about impeachment requiring Senate conviction rather than just a House vote.
- 40:16Tim discusses Ted Cruz's polling at 51% over 44% in what appears to be a close Senate race.
- 40:34No one was talking about the Kentucky race as a major bellwether for Democratic gains in red states.
- 41:09Tim criticizes political commentators for making bullshit predictions, citing their wrong 2016 Hillary landslide calls.
- 41:29Bobby breaks down the Kentucky House races: three spots, two going to Republicans including James Comer and Brett Guthrie.
- 42:13Tim pivots to Canton, Ohio's school board as another potential bellwether election to watch.
- 42:24Amy McGrath, the Democratic candidate Tim was thinking of, is ahead with 54% and likely to win.
- 42:55If Democrats flip the Senate, impeachment becomes possible, potentially sparking real chaos.
- 43:06The House can impeach Trump, but conviction requires Senate votes, which won't happen.
- 43:18Whether Democrats would impeach even without conviction depends entirely on what Mueller found, which might be nothing.
