It doesn't really matter, because as all honest and rational people know that is not the race that was run. Who knows if Trump would have won the popular vote too if he had campaigned in California, New York, and other urban areas. Again, it was not the competition that was run. It's like losing a chess game, but declaring victory because you still have more pieces on the board. Who cares if you King was toppled. Hillary straight up lost by the rules of the United States. That is the simple fact that Liberals can't get over. The years of participation trophies has wrecked them.
Of course, most of the RW has the horrible PROBLEM of putting all "Liberals" in the same bucket. All "Liberals" aren't alike. Just like all White People aren't alike. Any attempt you make (in your own mind) at reasonable "debate", is completely invalidated when you try to cast all of your opponents in the same bucket. Hopefully, you can do a better job of avoiding that sort of partisan stereotyping in the future. (That is assuming that you actually have any intention of being taken seriously). Nothing personal, of course. Just a friendly suggestion. Carry on.
Noted. And while on that subject, if you don't want your party hijacked by the left wing Taliban, you might consider a little rebellion within your own ranks. Instead of constantly electing and nominating pigs with lipstick like Hillary Clinton or socialists like Sanders, bring non-snowflake, sensible, middle of the road candidates to the table in elections. It happens far less than it should. Trump is sitting in the Oval Office for these reasons. It's a break from the same old, BS politics. Watch and learn. Your party has been hijacked by nutjobs. Fix it.
I'm sorry, did this post just come from the same person who regularly refers to all Republicans/Conservatives as part of the "RW Fever Swamp"? Do tell us more.
Who knows Trump could have gotten more votes if he didn't lie so often and the grabbing women by their genitals comment didn't help him much. But in the end: Clinton got more votes than he did. And he wouldn't have one with the record of the last fourt months.
Responses in RED. I am really coming around on Trump and supporting him, the more and more I hear Liberal lies, duplicity, and dishonest like the above post. He is far far from perfect, but wow... a light year better than Hillary Clinton.
No. the polls released in the week before the election all showed +1 or +2, well within the MoE. As a matter of fact, if you had read the final stats that I posted on this race, you would know this: http://www.politicalforum.com/index...atistics-thread.507811/page-8#post-1067645695 I'd say you might want to learn something about polling before trying to school someone whom you don't even know.
$22.5 million wasted to try to get to get Assoff elected......and failed. To me the only thing better is the $1.2 Billion spent to get Hillary as a runner up.
Let's tweak that for a genuine reality check . . . AFTER outside the state leftists poured millions upon millions upon millions of dollars running and OUTSIDE the area Dem Party candidate for the long held Republican seat STILL the GOP held onto the seat and handed the DNC and their hordes of radical leftist followers yet another stinging political defeat. There, fixed it!
Jon Ossoff spent six times more than Karen Handel but complains about 'money in politics'..... Either Democrat Jon Ossoff wasn't paying attention or he's really bad at math though. Before the special election polls closed, the 30-year-old aspiring boy wonder went on NPR to complain about money in politics. "The role of money in politics is a major problem and particularly the role of unchecked anonymous money," Ossoff said. "There have been super PACs in Washington who have been putting up tens of millions of dollars of attack ads in air for months now." And then with just a day to go and apparently un-ironically, Ossoff offered up the most unaware statement of the entire race: "We need campaign finance reform." Simple arithmetic shows the stupidity of that sentiment. According to campaign finance documents compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics, Ossoff spent six times more money than Handel. His campaign raised more than $24 million to her $4.5 million. At that point, Ossoff groupies will protest that Handel benefited from super PAC spending. After all, they argue, the Republican benefited from $18.2 million in outside spending compared to the Democrat's $8 million from outside groups. What a headline, huh. CNN consoles Demos. Yet they never do that with Repubs. Shows what CNN is all about.
Winning by 5 pts is hardly barely winning. What the leftness fails to understand is, that district is not so into Trump. But the Repubs did make that showing knowing what Pelosi is about.
Dems had a record turn out in GA. It wasn't enough. Dems banked that the MSM narrative ... "Trump loses support", was factual. It's not. Dems bought into the MSM polls ... again. SMH. # fakenews
They tried to buy the election. Just like they did with Hillary. They failed. But now the Demos and the left are lounging on their sit and spin thinking they are Riding the Tilt-o-wheel. Anytime they get out there spinning their BS. They need to be given that mental check and told to tell the truth for once in their miserable existence. Angry Democrats in Blame Game After Georgia Defeat..... Georgia — Democrats are tired of losing and the accusations are flying. After going all in and coming up short in Georgia's special election Tuesday, Democratic lawmakers and political operatives are venting their frustration at losing every competitive special congressional election so far this year. Many were upset that Democrat Jon Ossoff blunted what was arguably his greatest asset — antipathy toward President Donald Trump — by going relatively easy on the president and avoiding controversy at all cost. Others, however, countered that Ossoff was a fine candidate who was the victim of a party that is too cautious and has lost its ability to connect with voters. “We’ve been hyper-confused for the past five years," he said on MSNBC’s "Morning Joe." "Some of the time we’re talking about economic growth, some of the time we’re talking about economic fairness.” "We need to be hyper-focused on this issue of wage growth and job growth — I think Democrats are scared of this message because it’s what Republicans have been talking about," he added. Democrats also have an "authenticity" problem, he said, noting, “I think that there are a lot of people who look at the Democratic party and aren’t sure that we aren’t also captive by special interest — and that’s not true." “One important lesson is that when they go low, going high doesn't f**king work,” tweeted Neera Tanden, the president of the liberal Center for American Progress think tank, referring to Michelle Obama's maxim from the 2016 campaign......snip~ http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/angry-democrats-blame-game-after-georgia-defeat-n775041
Liberals are confronted with the realities of their miserable existence on a daily basis. When your "best & brightests" only aspirations are to become another bureaucratic cog in the socialist welfare state they invision, it's says a lot about your party. Socio-economic situations are remedied by captains of industry, and innovators, not social workers or liberal demagogues like Pelosi.
Isn't this a bit dishonest? You got 2 snapshots with out any context, but made up a context as if it is at the exact moment a winner was declared. Nothing in your pictures say a winner was declared.
How did you miss where CNN projects Handel wins? Do those English letters from the Alphabet need to be bigger?
How long and how many times did that banner run? And how many conversations took place during the time the banner was on?
Well------------gee-------------------if you had to sit there with your underlovlies in a huge wad, you would probably frown too. BTW it is further proof that CNN is fully in the tank for democrats. No fair and balanced there.
How lefties rationalize losing... Whoppie's take. "I don't see it that way," Goldberg said. "I see that Democrats are coming out, and they're not coming out perhaps in the numbers you want them to come out in. [...] I'm not looking at this as a loss, I'm looking at it as slow progress.” Losing 5 outta 5 special elections is certainly slow enough.
What does it matter how long and how many times. Their reaction was caught on camera. If Ossoff had won they would be smiling ear to ear and their joy joy would have been caught on camera. Just like it was when one of their kind lost.
Not at all. I also don't think the average American wants a more rightist country. That's why I'm a moderate. I believe that most Americans want a moderate America where the government stays out of our wallets, our bedrooms, and our lives.
I have no idea why you'd assume I don't think a win by Sanders isn't significant. And no idea what the "S" word is. Socialist? How did you get any of that out of my post?
