* A pro-life, pro-gun Republican male incumbent vs. a pro-choice, “gun safety” Democratic woman…
Much of [GOP Rep. Tom Morrison’s] campaign literature tries to tie [Democrat Maggie Trevor] to longtime House Speaker Mike Madigan.
“What I remind voters is look, ‘Maybe you vote for Hillary Clinton for president or Dick Durbin for senator, but if you vote for a Democrat for state rep, whether in Palatine or Park Ridge or Schaumburg, you are essentially handing another 2-year term over to Mike Madigan as speaker,’” Morrison said.
Trevor, who runs her own market research and business consulting firm, said she knocked on 5,000 doors to get her name on the ballot and wasn’t slated by party bosses. She’s now focusing her campaign efforts on Democrats, independents and “soft R’s” — those who vote occasionally in Republican primaries.
“I hear a lot of things you’re hearing,” she told Morrison during the interview. “But I’m also hearing the flip side. I’m hearing parents who are afraid to send their kids to school because of guns. I’m hearing women who are terrified of losing their reproductive rights. I do hear people who are upset at Madigan. I hear people who are upset at (Gov. Bruce) Rauner,” Trevor said.
Some Republicans are running as “gun safety” candidates, too. But, other than that, this is pretty representative of everything I’ve been hearing.

The Kavanaugh proceedings are apparently strongly motivating both bases - which means the GOP will hold on to or even grow their majority in the US Senate because the map of states at play is overwhelmingly strong for them. But it means Democrats will be turning out in blue states, which is not good for GOP here.

The “Kavanaugh Bump” in GOP motivation will die down precipitously after this weekend, when the U.S. Senate will affirm his nomination. However, that very same Senate vote will only further motivate the Democrats and suburban women to vote.

Yeah, the GOP will probably go to 52 or 53 in the Senate because of the map but lose the House.

If the Republicans can’t win in Morrison’s district… they probably can’t be competitive in many other important places this cycle.

Would be interesting to see some polling on the Morrison race.
The local GOP has been doing far more work in that district than they ever have and yet the Morrison and Trevor yard signs are about 50/50.
