:confused: is he blaming the Comey firing on Rosenstein? Is he accusing Rosenstein of setting him up?

Yeah, he's trying to throw Rosenstein under the bus (again) despite the fact that he openly said that he was going to fire Comey regardless of the recommendation.

Private polling paid for by the GOP in GA-06 reportedly came back with grim news, and the GOP now fully expects to lose and are starting to wonder what it'll mean for 2018. They aren't totally conceding, but they are now down to "well hey, maybe the polls are wrong, who knows"

He's pissed at Rosenstein for appointing an independent counsel to investigate the Russia issue.

He is just a couple misfired synapses away from firing Rosenstein and then going down the line until he finds someone willing to fire Mueller.

Gonna go with him expressing Thoughts And Prayers after the shooting as he blames Democrats and liberals for creating a toxic and violent environment, calling on them to cease their rhetoric and work together with the Republicans who just want a better nation (through failed trickle-down policies and by oppressing minorities and killing off the poor).

Can we stop falling for this from the GOP every time?

Before every special election so far, they've talked about it being neck-and-neck while everything public has them up by a substantial margin. That way, they can spin it as a success when they only win by 1/3 of what the previous officeholder did, while still motivating their base.

Now that they're actually losing, :siren:IT'LL BE A LANDSLIDE:siren:frankly Don, we're incredibly proud that once again, Real Americans came out to show the pollsters and fakenews wrong. They made it a tight race, and Democrats should be nervous about any polls showing them with strong support.

“The reason you are interesting me to be is because I followed your custody case and I think you had a very good point about the way the media was covering it and for some reason treated you and your family and what was going on as fair game when they never would have done that to — if you will — a mainstream media figure,” she said, “And I saw a different side of you in that whole thing.”

“The comments I heard from you during the course of that trial and the plea to the media to be respectful to you and your kids just reminded me you’re just like anybody. You’re a dad. You go through the same things we go through.”

Counterpoint: If they know they will lose, then it is correct to lower expectations so they can say "big deal, Handel was a terrible candidate, we knew we were losing, but it means nothing nationally"

Anti-abortion activist Randall Terry described Tiller as a mass murderer and said of other abortion providers, "We must continue to expose them in our communities and peacefully protest them at their offices and homes, and yes, even their churches",[40] and Southern Baptist minister and radio host Wiley Drake said, "I am glad that he is dead".

The split in GA-06 is R+8. If Ossoff wins by 2-3 points (which I expect him to win by at this point) that's a double-digit swing in the other direction. I'm happy to have Trump be a -10 anchor around the GOP's ankles come 2018.

There are a lot of supposedly "safe" Republican House seats that have a PVI of less than that, so if Ossoff wins, yes, it will absolutely make Republicans sweat, regardless of how they're spinning it on television.

Or the GOP knows that it's a much bigger deal for dem supporters to get to the polls than for GOP supporters who have nothing to do in a given day other than watch fox news, so they try to make it seem like its not worth it for the dem supporters to go vote.

My personal theory is that the news coverage calling the presidential election in the bag for Hillary was the main thing that cost her the election by suppressing turnout.
