The article has a liberal slant, but it clearly points out the many accomplishments to be focusing on instead of the bombings. Tax cuts, opiods, drugs prices etc.

in 2000 Democrats were focused on GW Bush’s decades old DWI arrest and it cost him the popular vote (gore’s margin was 0.51%)

You’d think all this leftist preaching to the choir actually increased their numbers.

The only suckers that fall for it is the choir itself, and the idiot republicans terrified they’re the only ones who can see through the BS.

The Mighty Mo (momentum) is fickle. The 2018 midterm election cycle has been driven by emotion, be it NeverTrump or Kavanaugh. Issues like the economy, healthcare, immigration and deep state have not been on the front burner. The bomber issue fits the emotion meme perfectly, though it should not.

Yeah, but the real shame is the ones standing on the brakes are the chicken littles on OUR SIDE.

You have GOT to be kidding me. How many times does the phrase "correlation is not causation" have to be posted here.

Did the Colt 1911 win the Second World War, too?

Some nut sends a bunch of bombs (if they had powder in them, they are bombs—even though they were not made well—are worthy of discussion.

I think the discussion should be about the tone of discussions. But I would also like someone, anyone, to point out that the GOP is FINALLY. Responding with some guts. They are not laying down in the fight.

THAT is the point a lot of conservatives and liberals are missing. We are fighting back and it is upsetting the decades old narrative. The old Eastern Establishment milquetoast response is gone. And America likes it.

This is all being allowed to happen so when Conservatives win everything in the mid terms, there will be no doubt in anyone’s mind that Jesus Christ is in control of everything. Including election outcomes.

Partisan Media Shills LIE, because they are A) regurgitating DNC talking points, and B) they are LIARS.

They admit is had measurable impact. In an election with half a percent difference it gave The Gorin a bragging point and almost the election

It came out on the eve of the election

Within a week no one cared

Because it is a last second attempt to sway the midterm and it’s all they’ve got that they invented after the Kavanaugh attack made them not only the villain but appear weak, stupid, and on the shelf. They’re hoping for a few moments of weak mindedness from slow or uninformed voters to try to steal some seats. And they are “allowing,” or “directing,” Cesar Sayoc to be the villain, or fall guy, depending on how you look at it or what you know. And it will look like an accident when he is murdered, uh, sorry, dies. Can’t have loose ends out there, can we?

Who's they, and predicated on what?

I don't buy what any of them sell unless they show me the chain of evidence. That goes for both sides.

The only one I "trust" before "verifying" is TRUMP.
