Maddow, O’Donnell Lose It Over VA Results: ‘Tonight’s History Is Being Written by Movie Writers’
newsbusters.org ^ | 11/7/2017 | Curtis Houck

After being relatively well-behaved, MSNBC eventually burst out gloating over the Democratic Party’s tidal wave victories in Virginia as pundits Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell celebrated and particularly over the “stunning” victory of transgender House of Delegates candidate Danica Roem that they deemed a night in which “history is being written by movie writers.”

O’Donnell was later assisted in the triumphant debriefing by New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, who encouraged Democrats to put “some referendums on the ballot on guns, on reproductive health, on a lot of other issues, so, I think is a good omen for Democrats in 2018.”

Well, I suppose I kind of agree there. If you want to lump these assclowns in with deviants and sexual predators, have at it. How much whine-steen money did northam and roem get? Oh, if they did I'm sure it got carved it out and given it to some worth cause. And, according to assclowns like these two, we may as well stay home for the mid terms.

That someone who doesn’t know if they are a man or a woman can get elected speaks volumes about the intelligence of the electorate.

Well, this is a catastrophic defeat for the Republican Party as it currently exists, no doubt about it.

And losing the HOD is a substantive victory for #the resistance.

Trump needs a political party to support him and to bring actual Americans into the process. And that party is not the GOP.

So the District of Corruption voted against cleaning out the swamp. Shocking.

[ That someone who doesn’t know if they are a man or a woman can get elected speaks volumes about the intelligence of the electorate.]

Just the kind of insanity that Barack and Mooch hoped to spread like a cancer. Hillary wanted to be the first President to march in a gay pride parade. We are in the days of Lot.

Exactly. How is DeBlasio winning in NYC and other Dems winning in NJ and VA a shocker?

If you swapped TN for VA, now that would be a shocker.

The Dems had a good election night - first one since 2012. Give the babies their bottle.

Ones like Maddow and O’Donnell could have made the same sort of pronouncements about the Soviet Union and East Bloc in the 1970s and 1980s (no big surprises about elections in those places back then, eh?).

“Thank you sir may I have another?” Self flagellation seems to be catching on.

The Democrat Party is dying.
They have been relegated to getting excited about returning a punt for a touchdown in the 4th quarter, trailing by 50.....

The GOPe is at least as much an enemy as the rats are. That’s the problem.

There’s no money in going to D.C. and honestly doing the people’s business. They want their gravy train back. I’m afraid DJT will be our last honest POTUS.

How is winning in a blue state something special? If they took over Texas and Florida, that would be something good for them. But as of now, they still look pretty bottled up to me.

Given that Hollywood produces loads of remakes and masturbatory material, this does sound like the work of a screenwriter.
