One thing that bugs me about FL. Gillum recieved about 50k votes less than Bill Nelson the democratic senatorial candidate. Was their a 3rd party candidate on the ballot as well for governor?

Not exactly what you wanna hear coming off last nights gains

Getting hamstrung trying to play by the rules against folks who gleefully tear up and burn the rulebook every chance they get will never be it or a road map to victory, imo. Trying to appeal to folks moral sensibilities hasn't exactly translated to many tangible W's lately,2 felons and a dead pimp just won races ffs

It is a tough position. The purely obstructionist strategy could make 2020 difficult for Democrats.

 

[dwalk31]

Its appalling that given everything that has happened recently that ppl would still vote for anyone on the right.

Not at all, actually. Outside of echo chambers, people vote on a variety of issues that align with their interests.

Kellyanne Conway sure doesn’t know how to shut up.

Would you say that if she was a man?

4 of them to a tune of about 100k votes

The society we live in is built on racism.

Not true. Let it go.

We don’t need more redneck hillbilly cousin ****ers

See this right here... Couldn't the same thing be said about people of other cultures?

Just off the top of my head there’s a lot of work on the table for the HSPCI.

-Reopen the House Russia probe

-Send all House Russia probe transcripts to Mueller as soon as possible.
The Republican majority has blocked all motions to send any transcripts to Mueller, including Stone’s testimony to the House that he amended 3 times already.

-Subpoena Don Jr’s phone records related to the Trump tower meeting.
Jr called a blocked number right after Agalarov called him about the meeting.
Lewandowski had previously said Trump uses a blocked number. Don Jr said he had “no recollection of that call” and denied that his father knew of the meeting.

-Then subpoena Don Jr’s testimony under oath

-Subpoena Jared Kushner’s testimony under oath

-Subpoena Hope Hicks’s testimony. House Republicans had allowed her to refuse all questions about the transition until she was reminded that she offered to do so before the Senate Intel. She then answered a few questions on the transition but refused to answer anything about her time in the WH. No executive privilege (or any legal reason) was invoked to refuse answering but House Republicans gleefully let her stonewall.

Subpoena Corey Lewandowski’s testimony under oath. He refused to answer any questions beyond the time he left the campaign on both his interviews before the HSPCI. Lewandowski also yelled “I’m not answering your ****ing questions!” at Democrats on the committee.

Interview all relevant witnesses that were ignored by the GOP majority and do it strictly under oath.
Subpoena the witnesses whose testimonies were blocked by the GOP, such as Trump campaign foreign policy adviser John Mashburn.

I know that it feels like the 2016 election was yesterday, but this is a losing strategy for Democrats.

This is what I cared about




2020 lets go

Republicans came out in a major way to make this possible. Good news!

Tonight was a rough night for progressives.

Makes sense. That'll cost a race every single time.

Yes. It’s said about Trump all the time. That was a dumb question.

This troll is like a commerical fisherman, puts out a ton of bait, sits back, and waits to see who bites.

It isn't extreme to say that their priorities are appalling.

The user has made similar statements about men before. Did he state that he is only saying that because Kellyane is female?
If he really has something against women, why doesn't he just say it?

If he did say that he only made that comment due to her gender, that would be bad of course.

Let it go.

Especially if you're still flying the Confederate flag in 2018 and beyond.

My god this guy is a moron, his response to the tax return question was absurd (as usual)
