What's so important about 17?

We were close to being gerrymandered into a hard red state government which would have have sunk the state into a GOP pit.

17 is whats needed to tie, 18 to get a majority, and have already picked up 11. Probably won’t get the full thing but drat if it’s enough to stall a lot of the batshit insane crap the House has been trying to pump out.

Is it normal for them to bring grenade launchers?

They aren't going to shoot at Trump, unless they don't feel like existing anymore

They have everything. Presidents travel with a lot of specialized protection and something to obliterate waves of commies is on the list along with snipers, suppressing fire, and probably a SAW gunner for luck.

Not excuse, counter. We're going to see hitherto unexplored forms of dirty pool in the 2018 elections, I think.

Purge voter rolls, repeal mail-in and early voting, shorter poll times, fewer polling places, more voter ID laws coupled with fewer offices issuing IDs.

Bannon: We’ve analyzed their polls sir and there is a danger. Should I have your pivot standing by?

Trump: pivot? In our moment of triumph? I think you bigly overestimate their chances.

At this point, D27, D62 and D68 are all within a single percent of going blue. If its going to be a Dem majority, it'll go through those three.

That won't stop us! Throw every dirty trick you want, the house will be Dem majority, the senate will be dem majority, and the President will go into 2020 with not a single accomplishment, possibly impeached.

So it looks like the Democratic voters did fairly well on their own, but what really made this a rout was the depressed R turnout.

You can probably lay that squarely at Trump's feet. Wonder how many schmucks in his party will do so.

Nazis across the nation sad. Trumpism can't win elections. Gillepese showed that running a Trump campaign can't win! Republicans hosed and cucked by Trump. Nazism will be destroyed in the US by 2020! Alt-reich doomed!



I don't think so, Nazis! Your defeat is at hand!
