Repubs win the congressional seat - Dems win second place and are happy with that.<br /><br />I guess they are equally pleased about Hillary's second place finish?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-45180568019642783652017-06-23T09:00:40.634-05:002017-06-23T09:00:40.634-05:00Dems just demonstrate what happens when you give e...Dems just demonstrate what happens when you give everybody a trophy!

And maybe someone could bring bettywhite up to speed on what the discussion is about.<br /><br />Nobody here is claiming that the recent election results are predictive of future results. JW is gloating because Dems lost by margins less than what previous Dems lost by. I guess that is something to be proud of.<br /><br />Hey! We're number 2 and we are proud of it! <br /><br />Well, at least you came in second! You spent 30+ million dollars! Claimed the election was going to be a referendum on Trump .....and now, you change the argument to contend that second place is really some kind of victory?<br /><br />Gotta love you guys!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-10561610038518670212017-06-22T13:45:26.722-05:002017-06-22T13:45:26.722-05:00Here's a little history lesson: in 2009 and 20...Here's a little history lesson: in 2009 and 2010, there were 7 special House elections after Obama was inaugurated. Democrats won them ALL. And then came the disaster of November 2010. Special elections are not good indicators of future success. All of the Democratic wins came in blue seats where the current office holder had gone on to another job, similar to what has happened this year. Go ahead and gloat, Anonymous! And by the way, you're calling 3- and 4-point wins a "significant" margin? Wow. Let me remind you that less than a year ago, the Republicans won those seats by double digits.bettywhitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-31959754610506320402017-06-22T09:00:09.813-05:002017-06-22T09:00:09.813-05:00I think we just heard from the puff pastry!I think we just heard from the puff pastry!O Suzannahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-92107773316751821232017-06-22T07:05:45.214-05:002017-06-22T07:05:45.214-05:00Yep! It's a real "win-win"!
Repubs ...Yep! It's a real "win-win"!<br /><br />Repubs feel good because......well, we won! Despite Dems spending record money in their pathetic attempt to claim an "anti-trump" backlash....we won by a significant margin.<br /><br /><br />And...Dems feel good because, although they are losers, they lost by smaller margins than they usually do. <br /><br />5 and 0! Yep, we have a real "win-win"!~<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
