My guess is that he will say that he never really supported Saccone because he was a weak candidate. Sort of like he

But, he could also say that the polls had Lamb up 4-6 points and his coming there put Sacky within 0.5%

How many Republicans will shun Trump during their campaigns. Then it was stated that it won't matter what they wanted, Trump will show up and campaign for them anyway, because it's inconceivable to him that he could be the problem. The freaking chucklehead's ego won't allow him to believe that this is a statement against his policies, against his vision for the country, against HIM!

The big dummy's ego will take him down in the end. It's been a long time coming, but Don the Con is going to have a day of reckoning. Not only from the voters, but from Mueller as well. The chickens are coming home to roost, Comrade Bone Spurs.

He gives a speech in support of some republican smuck and doesn't hardly mention the idiots name!

Trump makes it a referendum on him! And I know this will come as a shock to fox and friends and Hannity but...

Sane Americans HATE DONALD TRUMPS GUTS!

They terrified because they will lose money and profits for personal use. GOPers don't give a shit about the USA.

6. WRONG WORD
Wed Mar 14, 2018, 09:34 AM

The word "Terrify" is a REAL word- that should be reserved for something OTHER than election results.


You know - things like school shootings, nuclear war, and killing and torture inside a CIA water-boarding secret prison.


using it to denote election results is bad form.

"Terrified" because it might impact the seditious GOP House leadership and their minions who choose to stay.

Terrified of a real investigation with people under oath.

Terrified of supenias being used against those who have not been made to testify.

Most of all...terrified of public hearings, letting the American People hear for themselves the level of corruption and collusion that occurred and is still occurring.

be riddled with the pain and suffering the Republicans have inflicted on our youth, our country, and our sovereignty

Republicans lose elections the old fashioned way - they earn it.

17. "We look forward to competing hard in every single one."
Wed Mar 14, 2018, 10:57 AM
Mar 2018

THAT is the best part of the message...the only way forward is to cede no more ground, to allow no seat to run unopposed, to make the GOP sell their polished turd of non-accomplishment in every single city, town and village across the nation. Make them lie again and again and again and watch them twist themselves into pretzels trying to remember which part of the lie to repeat day after day after day...

There is a truism that is often over-looked - "Telling the truth is always easier because you do not have to remember any lies that way." When candidates are able to tell their potential constituents the truth of WHY they want to represent them, they win more readily than when they are forced to toe a specific party lie, such as the tax cuts are good for middle class people.

My kids think I am crazy with my many sayings that I repeat to them like mantras (another personal favorite is "Be the person telling the story, not the one the story is about..." to remind them that the center of attention seekers often do stupid things to attract the spotlight, but after the fact, they also pay the price while others talk about it and laugh at them)...but it is truth here. If you tell the truth, you never have to remember which lie you told previously...

This means that every R+11 district (or bluer) should be in play. Many already are but the DCCC is mostly staying out of primaries.

Connor Lamb won, in part, because of his explicit support for the 2nd amendment and “he loves to shoot”.

[IMG][/IMG]

As we ramp calls for gun control, which is good, banning AR-15s and the like will cost us votes.

Sure, I dont want to see a gun ban like so many of my fellow DUers, but I do want Democrats to control Congress.
