    She must have some money to be running so close in a ruby red state. Every time you see a hate add from Sally it's followed by a full quote ad from Sinema. I think she has just about convinced the voters Sally is a liar. Sally's votes on health care aren't helping her much either.

    "Meanwhile, Democrats have been buoyed by numerous projections that they will make major gains in November, which could lead to a result similar to what Republicans experienced in 2010, when they scored a big election victory at a time when favorable views of both parties were about the same."

    Rand Paul says media hid key detail about Democratic terrorist James Hodgkinson: "When he came on the field with a semi-automatic weapon firing probably close to 200 shots at us, shooting five people and almost killing Steve Scalise, he was yelling 'this is for healthcare!"

    Lol no.

    Most generally, as long as the dems continue their policies of division and mob justice, they will fail.

    They may pick up a few seats in the house.

    Maybe.

    And the media will tell the mob it was a success.

    Blue wave ha.

    Can you imagine the screaming at the sky with that will take place once the blue wave fails. I am looking forward to the necro threads :twisted:

    The thing is as it gets closer and the wave looks less the democrats will get more and more desperate and do more and more desperate acts of violence and vandalism.

    Kyrsten Sinema's anti-war activist past under scrutiny as she runs for Senate
    Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema's past ties to far-left groups are resurfacing as she campaigns to win Arizona's Senate race against her Republican opponent, Rep. Martha McSally. Sinema is running on...

    cnn.com


    She also claimed that illegal aliens who die attempting to cross the Mexico-Arizona desert border are the moral equivalents of US troops who die defending the nation overseas -- she says that border-crossers are themselves soldiers in "a war," I guess on American sovereignty -- and opposes all immigration laws.

    Or at least the US ones.

    We've sure made progress effectively combating their lies since those days.

    Krysten Sinema is a disgrace.

    Both parties are still trailing glass shard toilet paper in the approval department.

    But please, go on with your celebration of mediocrity.

    Wave aside, betting markets have the GOP with 82.7% odds of holding the Senate and 66.3% odds of holding the House.

    Trump is the Official Form of the Destroyer for Media/Leftist Smugness

    Great article by someone on the left.

    Like most Democrats, I reacted to the stunning 2016 election of Donald Trump with a combination of confusion and dread. After all, Hillary Clinton was the favorite and, to Democrats like me, a Trump victory seemed to portend certain economic disaster, nuclear war, and pretty much the end of America as we knew it.

    But now nearly two years into his administration, Trump has presided over a "winning streak" that includes a booming economy and stock market, an unemployment level at a nearly 50-year low, two Supreme Court appointments, no new foreign wars or domestic terrorist attacks emanating from abroad, a significant degree of progress on trade relations with Canada and Mexico, a "needed reset" on the China relationship, and the prospect of peace on the Korean Peninsula.

    Perhaps it is time that even his opponents reconsider Trump. Does Trump have a strategy that we can describe? Is Trump a return of Richard Nixon, of Ronald Reagan, or of something else entirely? After several months of watching the news without gaining any answers, I finally canceled my cable subscription and sought out other sources. I found some insights in unexpected places.

    Trump's presidency marks a return to realpolitik and great power politics. No one knows what goes on in Trump's mind or if even he believes he has a strategy. What matters is what Trump does, so this essay looks at his actions, considers the bias of his critics, and seeks a new way to understand his policies. It considers the possibility that Trump has a method to his madness.

    Perhaps our shift toward a reversion in history also means we are seeing a cultural reversion as well. Smugness has become politically tone deaf.

    It's possible that his opponents simply do not get Trump's humor. The famous comment Trump made in 2016 about hoping that Russia would find Hillary Clinton's 30,000 missing emails was delivered amid the Republican candidate's riff about the Jon Lovitz character Tommy Flanagan, the pathological liar, from Saturday Night Live. Another source of media consternation was Trump's remark that he preferred soldiers who were not captured, in contrast to John McCain, who was captured in the Vietnam War. Al Franken made the same joke about 20 years ago and Chris Rock delivered it in his 2008 HBO special to huge laughs. Rock's hilarious punchline: "I don't wanna vote for the guy that got captured. I wanna vote for the mother f--er that got away!" But when Trump made the same comment, much of the media portrayed these jokes as evidence that Trump was a treasonous, insensitive monster. Of course, there are different standards of propriety for politicians and for comedians, but one can't help but sense that there is an entirely different standard for Trump.

    The same dynamic played out after Trump called the gang MS-13 "animals" (which he later clarified) and also when he said that people disputing the confederate statues in Charlottesville had "very fine people on both sides" of the debate. In these two episodes, the U.S. media twisted the president's statements to make him sound like he was calling all immigrants animals and that he was calling neo-Nazis fine people. But that's not what he said. Slanted media coverage of politicians is nothing new, but fellow Democrats must be aware of it even when it confirms their views.

    Of course, Trump, like all presidents, is trying to have it both ways. He is trying to encourage his base, while seeking to avoid alienating the mushy middle. It is a bit unseemly and at times hypocritical, but it is politics, not bean bag. Trump's opponents like to call out his hypocrisy in hyperbolic terms, but in so doing they simply stoke outrage while failing to provide any sort of objective analysis about what he is really accomplishing.​

    The Arizona Senate Democratic candidate's leftwing contempt for voters and military-hating past is now rolling out.

    “There’s something wrong with the people in public office in Arizona.”

    Does CNN Turning On Kyrsten Sinema Mean the Democrats Are Calling It Quits In Arizona?

    Loony left Democrat Kyrsten Sinema has had a very tough week. In addition to a new poll showing her down by six points to Republican Martha McSally in the race to replace Jeff Flake.

    ✔@GOPChairwoman

    Democrat Kyrsten Sinema protested US troops in a pink tutu.

    She says stay-at-home moms are “leeching off of their husbands.”

    Now she’s caught on tape calling Arizona the “crazy” state.

    She has no business representing Arizonans in the Senate. #AZSen
