And the latest defeat is Ossoff....Gut only got 48% of the vote WITH 10 million dollars of outside money....Face it Dimms...The American people have discarded you.....Please move to Ca shortly before N Korea nukes it.

48% in a district that repubs have held for something like 30 years

same in KS - in a deep deep red district that trump won by 30 pts, the Repub only won by 8 points.

That shows Trump is an anchor around the necks of repubs in swing districts.

if even in heavily republican districts repubs are down 10-20 points from November 2016...imagine what those 10-20 pts will do in purple districts.

bye bye phony wonk paul ryan.

Hello Pelosi and Schiff!

Get your facts straight, he raised and spent $8.3M. And on the contrary, it's pathetic that this newbie amateur moviemaker demolished 11 republicans running for a republican dominated seat. Runner up Handel who has deep political roots as a former Secretary of State could only manage 19.8%. That is laughable. Explain that knucklehead.

GOP had to spend more than $4M to make sure he was below 50%. Since most republicans think women are incompetent it's far from a certain Handel will even be competitive in the 2nd round.

Btw - nice to see Trump's partner in crime raper friend Bill O'Reilly finally go down.

hey ex - you know that Trump was the only Western leader who called to congratulate Erdogan for 'success' at reducing democracy in his country, right?

You know that Trump admires autocrats who reduce democracy? You aware of that? And that no other major elected leaders in the West admire autocrats?

Such idiocy. When right wingers think Obama was a threat to democracy, but when Trump actually advocates for less democracy and congratulates autocrats...crickets.

they, and you, are an idiot.

You're wrong. Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, has openly praised China's dictatorship because they can "get things done and turn their economy around on a dime." "China" was the answer Trudeau gave when asked about his favorite government. Trudeau also took a million dollar donation to his foundation from a Chinese billionaire.

His father, who previously served as PM, was extremely close to Fidel Castro as well.

I'll stipulate that Trudeau shouldn't have said that about China.

BUT and these are big buts,

Trudeau was NOT PM at the time so he was not representing Canada. He was just a politician.

AND Trudeau was just talking in a narrow economic sense - that there are some advantages to a command control, highly centralized economy. They can make quicker decisions, etc. Not many people would disagree with that.

As for Cuba - that was as PM and it was foolish. But a kind hearted eulogy for a retired dictator is not as bad as Trump calling to congratulate a man working to take down democracy brick by brick in real time.

Eulogies are traditionally kind and forgiving...supporting CURRENT dictators is a different spike length.

But I don't think Trudeau did well to say either thing.

To my knowledge no other major western politician congratulated Erdogan. Because other leaders don't have real estate deals with Erdogan. Easy peasy. Trump is all conflicted by money. That Reoubs don't care is laughable and will be a chain around their necks in midterms.

Just for fun, this was from 2 months before the election...

Man, Flagpole was/is such an idiot jerk. And arrogant to boot! Great combo. Ugh. I wouldn't expect much more out of Ohio though.

Trump has 0% chance to win. Lol

Let's face facts. Trump is a serial liar who flip-flops on positions depending on which way the wind blows. Today's Trump is more like Hillary Clinton than ever before. Other than Gorsuch, and maybe a few executive orders, he's basically done nothing for his conservative base.

He's already broken major promises on:

- Obamacare

- Iran deal

- Mexico wall

- Anti-interventionism and "America First"

- Draining the swamp

My question is whether his supporters intend to hold him responsible for flip-flopping so quickly on his positions. Will they, or is the fact that he's a "Republican" enough for them -- even if he's quickly adopted almost all of Hillary's positions?

Xi is not an autocrat or a dictator. He is the president and head of the party, which actually controls things in China. Also, the president of China is term-limited, serving a maximum of two 5 year terms.

Most educated people do recognize that China's one-party system has its advantages in that they don't have the gridlock of a multi-party system like ours. So it's not surprising that Trudeau would say that, but I'm sure he didn't mean that he thinks it's a good system overall.

Trump's congratulation of Erdogan was just another example of Trump being ignorant and having a staff to match. It's like the call he took from Taiwan's president. There was nobody there to let him know he was doing something stupid.

Just for fun or stuck in the past? Most trumpkins haven't stopped running victory laps on this site since last November, and I suspect it won't stop anytime soon since the buffoon in charge hasn't gotten much done since taking office. I prefer to talk about his performance, but that isn't of much interest to trumpkins.

For the record, I haven't really been following this thread, but I will admit that I am disappointed with Trump's performance, thus far.

I don't believe that I was swindled. I had very low expectations for Trump and I'm not naive enough to believe that the President of this country, standing alone, has much power at all these days. I doubt that we would be seeing markedly different policies enacted had Hillary won. Regardless, the MSM will go on sowing division between the left and the right because it keeps us from coming together against the globalist billionaires, who have far too much power in the World these days. Divide and conquer!

The silver lining for me is that Trump DID incite a major backlash against SJWs / the regressive left, the MSM's dishonest reporting/propaganda and industry appointed "experts" who receive most of their funding (sometimes indirectly) from billionaires. This alone makes me very happy that Trump ran for President.

The citizenry - both in the U.S. and abroad - is becoming less "unaware and compliant."

They will not hold him responsible. If the posters here even closely resemble the majority of Trump supporters you can bet they don't even read the headlines anymore, they don't care!

Obamacare- Still intend on replacing. Anyone with an honest bone in their body knows it was a major loss for Paul Ryan, not necessarily Trump.

Iran deal- Who knows

Mexico wall- Still intend on building.

"America first"- he hasn't gone against that in any way.

Draining the swamp- A lot of his appointments have ticked establishment folks off. Why do you think that is? I don't think you know what Draining the Swamp refers to.

Oh, and of course, this is only 90 days in.

THEY DID NOT ELECT TRUMP ON THE ISSUES

THEY WANTED 'A LEADER WITH BALLS'

THEY GOT THAT, SO THEY ARE HAPPY.

This is what I find most scary. A large chunk of Trump supporters probably feel this way. They voted him in and are ok with holding him to the lowest standards of governance. If your expectations are low that can only mean Trump has a lot of upside in your eyes. Were you that excited about the prospects of someone "mixing things up" that you turned a blind eye to all that's disastrous about this guy?

I think this a completely wasted opportunity. I too like the idea of an outsider doing things differently, but there is zero question Trump is not qualified to lead a country. Politics will be in much worse shape when he leaves office and people won't want to give an outsider a chance again. You have very weak standards if you are excited about the "change" he brings.

Agip's misery is enough to make me 😊

The Libbbtwat DECIMATION forges on.

No disarm or enslave libbbtwats? You were all about it pre election. How did that work out?😂😂😂😂😂

I don't understand why politics is the only arena where people clamor for those outside the system to come in and run things. In no other industry would that be acceptable. Trump failed on the Muslim ban twice because he and his team don't understand how things work. What Americans should do is hold politicians to a very high standard...get elected and become corrupt, then get ousted and go to jail. Otherwise, it is valuable to have experience advocating for your state and leading committees and working on passing bills and becoming a leader. To elect someone like Trump who doesn't know his @ss from Queen Elizabeth's gold-plated carriage is ridiculous. He has done a 180 on just about everything he promised the Trumpsters. They get what they deserve.
