I have bets around town that Dems will lose senate _and_ house seats.

They just can’t accept it that their world view is held by so few - they’ve been assimilated by the media activism bubble.

Just two bets so far... $50 in pulled pork and $50 to humane society/shotgun shells.

:)

Your local humane society has shotgun shells?

Did PETA decide a shotgun was easier than gassing the strays? (sarc)

Rabid leftists - some otherwise considered to be intelligent - have bet me that Trump will not last the summer. There’s about two weeks to go.

Like taking candy from a baby.

If you’re betting with libs, don’t expect them to payoff.

——their world view is held by so few ——

It must be kept firmly in mind that Hillary won the popular vote. The Senate is very nearly 50/50......evenly split. The margin for winning is very thin.

CNN knows that all of it’s viewers are within the lot that voted for Hillary. Their sales are dependent on viewers that are actually in the gross electoral majority.

Measured in acres or square miles, the blue zone is much smaller than the massive red zone. But, measured in people, the blue zone exceeds the red.

I took a mini-dive into the past into the world of Max Headroom, mainly because I had a memory of beautiful Theora Jones — played by Amanda Pays — and wanted to see her again.

This led to a look at the Wikipedia article on Max, and to my surprise I found this paragraph:

In the future, an oligarchy of television networks rules the world. Even the government functions primarily as a puppet of the network executives, serving mainly to pass laws — such as banning "off" switches on televisions — that protect and consolidate the networks' power. Television technology has advanced to the point that viewers' physical movements and thoughts can be monitored through their television sets. Almost all non-television technology has been discontinued or destroyed.

The only real check on the power of the networks is Edison Carter, a crusading investigative journalist who regularly exposes the unethical practices of his own employer, and the team of allies both inside and outside the system who assist him in getting his reports to air and protecting him from the forces that wish to silence or kill him.

You are right.

Only a fool or Jim Acosta would take that bet.

But I repeat myself.
