Wider margin than Trump had in the 2016 election in that district. The lose-o-crats are moving I the NEGATIVE direction...5-0 since the election last fall. But feel free to keep pretending that it's a "Big Win" for the dems; we love the hilarious doubletalk...
The last Dem who ran in that district against Price spent $0 (zero). He received more votes than Ossoff.
And a lot of them voted for Trump. The Indies have even more contempt for the DP than many Republicans now.
Ddyad nailed it. I'm a lifelong moderate Independent. Not a closet Republican, and not a Bernie supporter. I voted for Trump this time around, and I'm becoming more disillusioned with Democrats by the day. Barefoot, if you try to claim you're a Republican like your rude buddy, I may fall out of my chair laughing.
As another Independent, can confirm this is pretty much how it is. I'm beginning to think the Democratic plan was to go after Independents, but somehow, instead of going after them to acquire them for votes, they targeted them for elimination. Some sort of E-mail Snafu, I'm sure.
The reaction from those supporting the Democratic party has been childish. Of course you would point to the (pretty much) mandatory speech to prove you point while admitting that any other liberal supporter has made up every excuse in the book. The excuses are getting old
I couldn't bring myself to vote for Trump, but I admit while the Republican party pisses me off, the Democratic party right now is just embarassing. They literally have nothing they stand for, just bash Trump and call him evil. The reaction to the Senate Health Care bill is a perfect example. According to conersvatives it is istill too far to the left, but a lot feel it is a good compromise Democrats have come out with their typical pathetic rhetoric talking about how Republicans want to kill people. THIS is exactly why Scalise was shot, this type of rhetoric gets far left activists all worked up thinking "Well I am going to go kill them before they kill me!" While I support many Democratic platforms, the people in that party right now and their loudest supporters are so childish that it sickens me
Funny how that goes. You say I claim to be something and when that doesn't pan out because I haven't, that is to say... that you got it "wrong"... you then insist that I try to claim. What I is is NYOB.
Truth in advertising. He is - beyond a shadow of a doubt - the biggest liar who has ever been elected to the office of POTUS, and if you ignored his lies, you have his truths - his bragging that it is okay to grab women by their genitals and that he walked in on minors who were in various stages of undress because and only because he was the landlord.
Independents have become a large and expanding antiestablishment voting block as the RP and DP combine into an essentially unified political class. There is still friction between the 2 major parties, but it looks more like coitus than real political opposition.
It does not even repeal ObamaCare. DP opposition to this "fix" is as phony as the RP votes to "repeal and replace" while they were in the minority.
Blithering nonsense: Why the Dems Keep Losing In her much-read New York Times column “Donald Skunks the Democrats,” Maureen Dowd skates quite close to the truth before swerving off into mendacious Timesland fantasy. Writing in the aftermath of Jon Ossoff’s embarrassing defeat by Karen Handel in Georgia, Dowd begins by acknowledging the obvious: You know who is really sick and tired of Donald Trump winning, to the point where they beg, “Please, Mr. President, sir, it’s too much”? Democrats. Yep. The Democrats, as Dowd, says, “just got skunked four to nothing in races they excitedly thought they could win because everyone they hang with hates Trump.” “To skunk,” verb, transitive: “to defeat someone overwhelmingly in a game or contest, especially by preventing them from scoring at all.” Why did this happen? Dowd peeps gingerly over the inky ideological carapace of the Times: “If Trump is the Antichrist, as they believe, then Georgia was going to be a cakewalk, and Nancy Pelosi was going to be installed as speaker before the midterms by acclamation.” “If.” But what if not? The Georgia race, just like all the other special elections since November 9, “turned into another soul-sucking disappointment.” Does that mean—could it be—that Donald Trump is not the Antichrist after all? The logic of Dowd’s argument hints at that awful possibility. But that flicker of sanity is quickly extinguished by a cataract of Demspeak. Dowd quotes Democratic Congressman Tim Ryan of Ohio. Yes, it’s Trump 4, Dems zero, Ryan admits. But why? How could this be? Trump does robo calls. He tweets. He talks about the races. He motivates his base, and he moves the needle, and that’s a problem for us. Guys, we’re still doing something wrong here because a) he’s president and b) we’re still losing to his candidates. Memo to Tim Ryan: Republicans are winning all over the country, as much or more in local and states races as in national ones, not because Donald Trump makes robo calls, because he tweets, or because he “motivates the base.” Nope, the Republicans are winning everywhere because people like what they are offering. They especially like what Donald Trump is offering: an America-first attitude that unapologetically makes the U.S. economy and U.S. national security top priorities. This is the hard truth that Dowd skated close to but couldn’t quite face. According to Dowd, The Republicans have a wildly unpopular, unstable and untruthful president, and a Congress that veers between doing nothing and spitting out vicious bills, while the Democratic base is on fire and appalled millennials are racing away from Trump. Yet Democrats are stuck in loser gear. The Dems are in “loser gear,” alright, but this fact is puzzling to Dowd because 1) she can’t grasp the deep popularity of Trump’s central policies and 2) she somehow believes that the appalling behavior of the Democratic “base” is a net positive. It isn’t. Dowd says that “Trump’s fatal flaw is that he cannot drag himself away from the mirror.” But who is the more egregious narcissist, Donald Trump or a Democrat like Rahm Emanuel, the mayor of Chicago, who told Dowd: “We congenitally believe that our motives are pure and our goals are right”? I think Rahm is right about that cluster of beliefs. It’s a species of self-infatuation that owes a lot to Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who was always going on about his superior “virtue” even though he behaved in a disgusting way. He nevertheless believed that because he was saturated by the emotion of virtue and was convinced by the purity of his motives it didn’t matter (to take one example) that he deposited the five or six children he fathered with his mistress in an orphanage. Just so, Rousseau’s great disciple Maximilien Robespierre was also “on fire,” which is why he could speak in glowing terms of “virtue and its emanation, terror.” Who can doubt that all those CNN broadcasters who spew obscenities about Donald Trump, the comics who pose for a photo with a bloody severed head in the likeness of the president, the “ethics” professors who attend rallies and bash Trump supporters over the head with bicycle locks, the disgruntled Bernie Sanders supporters who try to murder Republican congressmen as they practice for a baseball game—who can doubt that they and their fellow-travelers would relish a turn operating the guillotine as did Robespierre? Rahm Emanuel went on to say that “you’ve got to run a good campaign. In elections, politics matter. Oooh, what a surprise.” That’s supposed to be the worldly-wise, bracingly cynical voice of experience. “See what a grown-up I am: I know you have to win elections to wield power.” But what Rahm, Tim Ryan, Maureen Dowd, and the other anti-Trump Wise Hats don’t see is that the fundamental issue is not “motivating the base,” running a slicker campaign, and figuring out how to the game the polls, the focus groups, and the public’s credulity. The central issue is solving the problems that people have in their everyday lives. Pace Maureen Dowd, Trump is actually doing that. Sure, everyone she “hangs with hates Trump.” But even as she screams about how “pathetic” and “nuts” Trump is, his administration is moving ahead on the issues that actually matter to people, from immigration and jobs to taxes, health care, and national security. The Democrats believe that process, sufficiently leavened by the emotion of virtue, is enough to win power. Trump has understood that product matters more than process and that professions of virtue are hollow when unsupported by results. https://pjmedia.com/rogerkimball/2017/06/25/process-vs-product-why-the-dems-keep-losing/
CNN action shows Democrats gave up on Russia Barack Obama's administration made up the Russian-Trump lie to justify spying on Team Trump. Hillary bitterly clung to the story to stave off angry donors who invested a billion bucks and all they got was a I'm With Her shirt. The Resistance Media hung on to it in the hopes of bringing down President Trump But last week's Toss Off Ossoff election -- and Comey's admission under oath that there was nothing to this -- forced Democrats to abandon their big, fat, stupid lie. Today, CNN ordered its staff to back off on Russia. From BuzzFeed -- CNN's urinary partner: CNN is imposing strict new publishing restrictions for online articles involving Russia after the network deleted a story and then issued a retraction late Friday, according to an internal email obtained by BuzzFeed News. The email went out at 11:21 a.m. on Saturday from Rich Barbieri, the CNNMoney executive editor, saying "No one should publish any content involving Russia without coming to me and Jason," a CNN vice president. "This applied to social, video, editorial, and MoneyStream. No exceptions," the email added. "I will lay out a workflow Monday." The new restrictions also apply to other areas of the network — not just CNNMoney, which wasn't involved with the article that was deleted and retracted. Elections have consequences and nearly nine months after Trump kicked Hillary's butt -- he won 30 states, the most by any presidential candidate in 20 years -- Democrats (which includes most of the media) have finally had to accept their defeat. We the people liberals consider white trash and expendable elected him. Hahahahahahahaha! And he is systematically erasing the socialism they imposed on the country. Hahahahahahahaha! They spent $1.2 billion to stop him last November, and were *******ed. They spent $50 million to stop Planned Parenthood nemesis Karen Handel in that Ossoff race and were humiliated -- again. Hahahahahahahaha! Now to dump Bobby Mueller, and work on that wall. And yes, Trump will fire Mueller once he realizes he will pay no penalty. I would do it on July 5 -- the anniversary of Comey giving Clinton the all-clear signal. We are in the best eight years of our lives. http://donsurber.blogspot.com/2017/06/cnn-action-shows-democrats-gave-up-on.html#more
