Originally posted by JimL View PostAgain, depends on your perspective, did democrats win the elections? Nope. But did they make inroads in districts that have been republican for decades. Absolutely. Those were deeply red districts. That won't be the case in 2018, and those elections will be more of a referendum against the lying, theiving, racist, misogynist, treasoness, con man, president D.J.Trump.Last edited by lilpixieofterror; 06-25-2017, 11:15 AM."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

Originally posted by lilpixieofterror View PostFunny how this last election was supposed to spell the doom of Trump because all the polls said that Democrats were supposed to win by several points. Yet when the polls closed and democrats lost yet again, all of a sudden losing doesn't matter and the end of Trump is upon us. If you're so brainwashed that you can't even see these two positions are clear contradictions; nobody can help you.

Originally posted by JimL View PostDid I ever say that this last election would spell the doom of Trump? I don't think so. I couldn't care less what the polls said, I'm just analyzing the results, and the results are that the democrats made inroads into each and everyone of those red district special elections."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

Doubling down on the same failure that cost Clinton the election isn't going to help. It's almost as if people hate being called racist and sexist, unless you agree with Democrats, so they vote against Democrats. Insulting the voters doesn't seem to win elections, imagine that.

Originally posted by JimL View PostDemocrats weren't expected to win any of those elections lilpix. How is it you can't understand that. If they had won, it would have been a big deal, they didn't, but the fact that they brought down the margin of the republican win down substancially is significant. Thats all there is to it. Republicans want to make a big deal about holding on in districts that they have held for decades. Just holding on is good, but its nothing to boast about.
Yeah maybe, nothing new there from either side in american politics, except that its predominant on the right, but falling for that crap would be a pretty stupid reason to be basing ones vote on."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.
