Re: 115th Congress. In Bridge, Can Hearts be Trumped? In Spades!

Jesus, f-ck, you just don't quit.

There is NO evidence of what you suggest. For all we know his voters were the liberals and the moderates were sitting home sucking their thumbs waiting for Hillary to tell them what to do. :rolleyes:

If we promise to forget how you crashed and burned last Fall will you move the f-ck on already? The only one keeping this whinefest alive is you.

What in the ever living fuk are you talking about??? He got 1% more of the vote in the district than Hillary got. That is a fact and not open to debate. Hillary 47%. Ossoff 48%. That says to me he did a good job of consolidating the people who showed up in Nov, but now needs to either go a little bit further (as in winning over lefties who didn't show up in Nov) or capitalizing on a lack of consolidation amongst the voters of the 11 GOP candidates in the primary. There is nothing controversial, pro Hillary or anti Bernie in that statement. :confused:

Look, I know obtaining a snippet of Bernie's ball hair is the end all be all of your existence, but its getting a little lame. Not every discussion of a Democratic race needs to divide amongst those fault lines. It could very well be, in this particular district, both wings of the party represented pretty well back in Nov which would explain why she did so well in Gingrich's old district.

And has nothing to do with anything. Some percentage of them are different voters. The ideological makeup of the two groups may be significantly different. So I suggest centrist Dems get off their lazy, purist as-ses and get to the polls next time! :mad: :rolleyes:
 
Now Chaffetz is saying he might not even finish out his term. My suspicion that he's one of the guys headed for a jail cell is growing stronger.

He's either sick, about to get busted, or some other R is about to get busted

And Bernie may show up at your house dressed in nothing but a birthday suit. Anything's possible but I highly doubt the % vote similarities are some sort of coincidence. "lefties" = people to the left of the spectrum, be it hard core ones or just a few steps over the line. Whatever their leanings, if they didn't show in Nov they need to represent now. Still not sure what exactly set you off....

Your continual setting centrists and liberals against each other is stupid and counter-productive. Just please give your ego a rest and start looking forward. As your best girl once danced to, "yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone."

But....that's not within the same area code of what I actually wrote...

Did you have a stroke recently or something?

Scroll down here and look at the raw vote totals in the GA special election compared to 2016.

You've got about 58% of the 2016 turnout for this one. Dems spent $8 million to over-perform the turnout and get about 75% of Rodney Stooksbury's votes. (Price won this seat by 23 points btw) R's combined for about 50% of Price's total turnout. You never can tell on these off-cycle deals but it looks like the possible turnout upside for Dems is pretty small and it's huge for R's. I don't know that Handel is much of a candidate, but it looks bad for Ossoff to me.
 
Re: 115th Congress. In Bridge, Can Hearts be Trumped? In Spades!

No, I think your shtick is to assure the worst possible outcome is inevitable. Trump wins? We will have an unending string of Trumps till the end of time.

That's fine as gallows humor, but after a while it's just lazy.

What percentage will the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate get?

Kepler: 54
Rover: 60 but only if they're my GOP Lite candidate who won't touch Wall Street
Bob Grey comes out of retirement to say 45 if they're still Pro-Choice
Scooby: Zero. Possibly below zero. DOOM!!!

I am glad I didn't read this in a meeting or while drinking coffee.

There is zero evidence that the Rs are motivated to vote for any of the candidates let alone Handel. Even wit it close and the possibility of him winning pretty decent they didnt care. They liked Price, they are split on Trump and dont seem to care for Handel.

I'm holding out for Ashley Madison and/or underaged male page. Somethin' nice and Family Values like.

that would be great!

rumor is though, he wants to work on his statewide image for a governor run in '20. He he's out of office, he doesn't have to take any controversial stances. Of course the next step after that would be president in '28 when he would be in his early 60s. Flying Spaghetti Monster help us. The last reasonable candidate to run for the Republican nomination was a former Utah governor though, and you remember how well he did in the primary... Chaffetz is no Jon Huntsman.

'course, he's talking about pulling a Palin and ducking out sooner rather than later. Hopefully whatever he's done was on a private server.

I think you're correct in that the turnout upside for the Dems is small, but the saving grace is he needs only 2% more. Handel needs everyone who voted against her to vote for her basically or to find some people who sat the 1st round out. I think that's doable but Ossoff has a small advantage given that he doesn't need to be all things to all the people who voted Dem in the primary. He was in all practicality the only Dem in the race. Handel does need to be to get the other 10 candidates votes on the right.

Chaffetz just tweeted out a link to a profile about his wife, with no other comment.

Infidelity would be kind of funny, but who really cares? Of course they're tremendous hypocrites about how everyone else should live. I want him behind bars.

Infidelity only matters if it is a guy. He wouldnt resign if he just was banging some lobbyist.
