Trump did NOT lose the popular vote. Stop spewing the leftist talking points. Illegals voting for Hillary gave her an advantage in CA - she did NOT win the popular vote.

And I heard that little piss-pants talking the other day about how important a free, adversarial press was, as in Trump bad. Yeah, free and adversarial would be great, but what we actuality get is non-stop BJ’s for statist tyrants, and continuous derangenent about anybody sane, or even any (R). Look how much they hated him and he was like 10% to the right of FDR. He didn’t seem to think the lack of adversariality was a problem under Ebola, nor the steps Ebola took to stamp our what little honest journalism dared occur, but NOW it’s a problem. What a putz.

No, that’s a given in a one party state. The GOP only nominates designated losers except where Democrats allowed GOP to win.

I live in Southern California. I ASSURE you Hillarys huge advantage here was just from illegals. Whites overwhelmingly voted for her here to. Trump is completely dispised here in the Peoples Republic of California. He is utterly hated here and anyone who would vote for him is subject to violence. Even Orange County voted overwhelmingly for her. No Democrat since FDR has carried Orange County.

Get the money out of politics... unless it is a democrat. A democrat winning a democrat seat in a democrat district in a democrat state is not a bellwether.

>> Trump is completely despised here in the Peoples Republic of California. He is utterly hated here and anyone who would vote for him is subject to violence. <<

I’m much happier to be out of the liberal enclave of Hollywood where I taught three years ago. Believe me, life would be extremely unpleasant working there now.

Nevertheless, I believe people are tiring out from the relentless anti-Trump suppression. When we see DJT standing up to the media, it encourages us all — bigly.

The predictions of the demise of one political party or the other has always been premature.

So far in special elections: We’re net 1. We picked up a seat in Minnesota, and held a seat in Virginia, and they held a seat in Delaware. Each of these contests was hard fought. Lots of outside money and people.

We have the same scenario coming up in CT.

There is no story unless the Republican wins and somehow the Republicans regain control of a chamber.

If a Democrat wins it is business as usual—one billion a year in debt, sanctuary cities filled with “migrants” getting “free” food, “free” housing, and “free” medical care and anybody with real money fleeing the state...in other words, business as usual.

A Democrat replaced a vacated Democrat seat... and the Left has to try to make that into hopeful news and a big “turnaround”. They are in for more shocks in 2018, I guess.

Actually, DE was quite competitive until the 1980s. Dewey won it in 1948.

New York Mag may be spoofing, but the libs who support (and write for) it really are stupid enough to believe that Delaware is some kind of Republican backwater that Democrats have wisely been trying to redeem.

Four years is a long way away. Check out this map:

Believe it or not, this is actually doable for Trump in 2020. He has four years to flush the voter roles of illegals. Limit voting to legal, breathing American citizens and we have no idea how many states he will win.

Democrats spent over a million dollar defending a solidly Democrat senate district.
