agreed...the pendulum was swinging and trump was uniquely able to give it a shove. hard to see anyone else being so good at that. If we can survive the trump admin we should be in the clear for the next 8 yrs.

A lot of it came down to the type of voters Trump intrigued that weren't interested in Romney.
And that the Democrats went with a candidate the Republicans spent a decade vilifying. Her brand was very damaged among anyone Republican leaning. . . .
You are an outstanding poster.
But the bolded text above is one of the more, shall we say, absurd things ever posted anywhere on LRC.
How can the electoral system be one of (even the first and foremost among) many unique factors about this past election when it is the same system that is used in EVERY presidential election???

dim bulb, we are talking about the national polls, not the electoral college.
the national polls were dead on in predicting the national vote. The approval rating polls are also national. Therefore the approval ratings showing the fat man is the least popular new president of modern times are most likely correct.
Your whining and tears about wrong samples are absurd and without a shred of proof on the national side. You are reaching for conspiracy because you do not understand very much.
Agip, how easily you forget your NO CHANCE PRESIDENT TRUMP WINS THE ELECTION😆
It is ok libbbtwat, I'm here to remind you..you dumb fck😂â—ï¸
OK, the electoral college was certainly not unique to THIS election.
It's a unique election system compared to the rest of the world.
We are stuck with certain states being ignored and others getting extra attention for the foreseeable future.

POShitlery lost. 😢 Get over it lil buddy.
This country does not want anything to do with libbbtwats. Expat to North Korea if you want to be controlled by The State.

And

HAA HAA HAAA...POShitlery lost the election 😆

The White House is starting to shut down press access. Today, Spicer gave a press conference in which no cameras or recording devices of any kind were allowed.
The daily White House briefing isn't daily any more. When they do happen Spicer doesn't answer the questions.
Trump is hiding.
Haaa haaa haaa...you are still ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ over the electionâ—ï¸
That is so awesome.
Just let me know if you want me to teach you another "lesson" in manners.
Only thing you know is c0ck sucking..NANCY.😆
My take on Georgia's 6th district special election:
Karen Handel wins by a hair. There just aren't enough Democrats in the 6th district for Ossoff to get over the hump. Republicans will spin it as an upset since Ossoff has a tiny lead in the polls. Democrats will say they almost pulled off a victory in a deep red district.
For it to make any real difference nationally, Ossoff would need to win by 5 or 6 points. That could happen, but the probability is low. That would indeed be a true upset and would not bode well for the Trump agenda in Washington.
BTW, Handel is a terrible candidate. If Ossoff does win then it will be Handel's fault and not Trump's. Any Republican with a modicum of political skill could win this race easily.
The rookie Jon Ossoff is actually pretty good at this stuff. Ossoff has a bright future no matter what.
So I met DFF. I was at a crowded nightclub where women were swooning all over my rock hard biceps and running their hands over my chiseled abs, plus they loved the fact that I am liberal. I was making good progress with a pair of smoke show models and their dance instructor, we were going to their place for a hot tub when things got a little rowdy. A sniveling skinny fat man with a pot belly and MAGA hat was on his second Coors lite and being the lightweight that he was, he had clearly exceeded his limit. He was rabbit-punching people in the back then turning away like a little punk.
Things escalated quickly as some of the patrons began to mix it up on their own accord. Then this DFF was discovered by the waitress who was escorted him out of the bar. She had a firm grasp of his earlobe. He was squealing like a puppy dog who had been hit by a car, it was a horrible racket.
But when he swung wildly and clipped her, that was too much. The crowd erupted into a scuffle, and DFF tried to sneak away. However, the bouncers were slow to make their way over and I felt like DFF needed a good talking to, so I grabbed him by his bony shoulders and shoved him to the back of the bar and into the bathroom.
Now I was already excited by the possibility of bedding the two models and their dance instructor, and pissed that I was missing out on this opportunity, So I really started to give him a piece of my mind., But DFF was incapable of forming a grammatically correct response. He weakly swung at me a couple of times, it was like an 8-year-old boy trying to hit a 'roided up NFL lineman. It wasn't going to happen. After playing patty cake for a little while he tried to kick me in the groin, but I expected this move because I know dirty little skunks when I see 'em, so I grabbed him in a reverse standing choke hold until he calmed down.
He started blubbering about not being able to get any dates, that this wasn't fair because Trump was MAGA, and that he posted on Letsrun as an outlet for his puerile frustrations aggravated from living in his mother's basement at 44 years of age. I was starting to feel sorry for him, but he again tried in vain to struggle free. So I grabbed his wrist and twisted, while he howled in pain.
I noticed that I was starting to get aroused. "Stop being such a baby" I said. "You're the baby! Hillary-Obama waah-waah-waah Cuck Libbbtards!. MAGA MAGA!" he shrieked back unintelligibly like an expiring rodent. Now as an MMA fighter I have very large thighs, and since I also like bodybuilding and Crossfit I am happiest when I oil them up. "Do these thighs look childish to you, DFF?"
I could see his eyes widen in alarm, and since I was already in a heightened sense of anticipation, I felt a throbbing blue veiner coming on. When I told him to apologize to the establishment and leave or else, he kept struggling and spitting out childish epithets. So I realized that DFF was unsalvagable and really needed to be taught a deep and painful lesson. I needed to rebuild him from scratch. So I yanked down his trousers, and prepared to plunder him. At first he struggled and whimpered but then he eventually started to moan ecstatically and move in rhythm to my pornographic thrusts. By the time the manager had walked in on us I had taken him to new heights.
This is why he is so enraged now, and for that I am sorry. He's just a confused boy, that's all, a 44-year-old boy.
The libbbtwats are in full meltdown mode😆
I love it😂
America WINS AGAIN😎🇺🇸
betting odds now favor handel slightly, which is a major switch from last week. Apparently the fear of god has settled in among the Repubs and indies in the district - the idea of electing a democrat is too terrifying to contemplate.
So right now you are looking correcto, fats. I have no idea. Seems basically a coin flip.
the scary part to me is twofold if handel wins.
1) republicans will move closer to trumpism, seeing little risk
2) dems will move to the left, saying that moderate ossofism doesn't work.
both those options are anathema to me. I am preparing to be bummed tomorrow night.

You don't get how bad their epic defeat has screwed up their heads, do you? They post so much empty drivel that they say things just to say things. They hope sheer volume of posts wins. They talk in circles, they deflect, they post endless meaningless links, etc.
Can you imagine if Trump wins in 2020 and they end up spending close to a decade posting nonsense on a website (albeit under many different handles by that point- cough cough Agip cough cough Eric Blair cough)? That'd be a real shame. :-)
it's telling how you bozos never even try to defend Trump - all you have in your nasty little arsenal is insulting the other team. Nice. Same for Trump. Wear the name proudly. You have learned the shirts vs. skins game well from the president.
I can't even remember the last trumper on this thread to reasonably defend a trump position.
HAA haahaaa we keep breaking you Agip. You fckn weakling libbbtwat😆
You expect to disarm and enslave us without a spine?
You better stop being a "yellow fellow."😂
If you want to disarm and enslave the American People you had better prepare for a bloody fight to the death mother fckr🤘
Your weak a$$ $hit is not going to cut it.
😎🇺🇸
Trump has radically cut down on press conferences and now is forbidding having any video or audio record of some of them?
(1) Trump people, do you think this is a good idea?
(2) If he eliminated press conferences would you be OK with it.
