    My prediction is no matter how it turns out the liberals will whine about the results.

  3. Republicans are anything but whine-free. Remember how they bitched and moaned because Trump refused to pledge that he would not run as a 3rd party candidate if the GOP failed to nominate him. The dumbest thing the GOP ever did was come up with that stupid plan, he laughed in their faces.

    THEN there was concern that he'd challenge the election results if Hillary won. I think there was some mention of a pledge at that point too, but I don't think it gained much traction.

    Yeah I do. LOL. They didn't want him to go Independent and spoil votes. So he pledged allegiance to them. I bet they regret that whine. They asked for it. He don't give much of a crap for them. But he at least isn't yet trying to undo their existence........yet.

    I highly doubt Pelosi will benefit your party. As speaker of the house, she used to fly a personal private jet on a weekly basis from SF to DC, while lecturing to working class Americans that they need to reduce their carbon footprint. Plus, she's going totally senile and losing her mind.

    On my ballot, there's a measure to tax already legal marijuana at the city and county level. My answer: fuck no! :angry:

    so I hear that if the republicans lose the house he will blame lyin' ryan.
    of course if the repugs hold on to the senate, he will take credit.

    If she is losing her mind she’s the perfect choice to take on Trump who couldn’t pass a psyche exam if his life depended on it

    Well here in America there’s never been a shortage of racist bigots, white supremacists, xenophobes, isolationists, conspiracy nuts, and gun toting trailer trash ~ sigh~

    Lol....Name calling.

    Ouch.
     
  14. Agreed, he played it to win. Prior to this I never considered Trump to be a republican. But he wanted the top seat, so he chose the side that would be the easiest for him to defeat first, a pragmatic plan. It seems like the democrats would have been happier as they watched him make fools of the "top" republican contenders. Heck, he even said unsavory things about Ben Carson. I mean really, just look at all the GOP dirty laundry he exposed, democrats should have celebrated.

    BUT, they couldn't. Because he was going after them next and their closets were no cleaner, leastwise the Clinton's skeletal humidor. What happened next I can only describe as the biggest continuous tantrum I've ever seen. I figured if the Clintons went through the trouble of sinking Bernie's canoe, they surely had everything they needed to dispatch Trump (politically of course). But I was wrong, oh what will I do?
     
  15. Another thing I noticed on the Georgia ballot was that the challenger to David Scott was actually on the ballot. In previous years the republicans had to write-in any challenger because they never seemed to get enough signatures. This year things are different for some reason. Still, I seriously doubt some new republican can possibly unseat such an anchored public tick.

    At least he doesn't think islands can capsize.

    I was impressed. The local election crew had things running like a well-oiled--I guess machine would be the wrong metaphor in a political context, but things went smoothly and efficiently, and everybody was upbeat and civil. And really big turnout! Here in Oklahoma, the big issue is whether or not optometrists and opticians can practice in retail stores. If WalMart wins, I'm movin' to Canada! Otherwise, things seem to be fine. There's hope for us yet!

    Fox News just called the House for the blue team. Go Donkeys!

    So Dem's win House. Republicans win Senate. And possibly a recount in Florida.
