Politics Bad signs for the Republican Party

The Georgia special election should be interesting. If Ossoff wins the run-off against a single Republican, the Republicans will begin to panic about the midterms.

In other news, Rasta posted a thread before the election saying Clinton was a shoe-in and the demise of the Republican Party was imminent.

In other news, most of the world before the election was saying Clinton was a shoe-in and the demise of the Republican Party was imminent.

You do know the difference between "projections" and "results" don't you?
Seriously - you do, right?

All the Republicans will make sure they're married?



(Yes, I know what you mean. It just sounded funny.)

 

[Nikolokolus]

Now if we could just get the Democratic party to implode we'd be in business.

You do see the credibility problem when you make these threads with predictions based upon your worldview that don't come true?

The demise of the Republican party is imminent.

The demise of the Republican party is imminent.

I doubt it, with good reason.

To fear; be apprehensive about.

 

[e_blazer]

The demise of the Republican party is imminent.

Well, I certainly hope so. Then we'd only have to dump the donkey-crats and we might actually have a chance at effective governance.

Really??
Do this have a basis? Something you can share?

I would be pleased if they just selected a Speaker with some wisdom and firmness.

I think that's done already

Calling for investigating conspiracy theories is your bag.

@blue32 went off to look for pizzagate proof. Said he wouldn't come back until he found it. I guess he's keeping his word.

Was wondering about that guy......pulled a Mags. Poof.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

I told you guys, he lost his job in trumps last round of government cuts. He has an obamaphone but can't afford data.

 

[Further]

Too early to know. One data point.

I don't understand how any thinking person can align themselves with the Republican Party right now. The R congress and senate are just a bunch of scared bitches who seem to be willing to disregard their beliefs as soon as Trump asks them to. I normally don't agree with them, but I used to think many of them were at least honest and trying to do something more than be on a team. Much of this can be said about elected Democrats but to a lesser extent. I don't know how to fix the system but team ball doesn't work for America.

No, of course not. Trump is bringing Somalia here.

Ha! Funny.

The Republicans and Democrats are no different than Blazer fans and Laker fans.

I think the Lakers fans are worse cuz duh, it's obvious.

You think the Democrats are the Blazer fans and that's why you believe such nonsense.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

People will double or nothing on trump. No way they admit they were fooled.

Keep America great!

Democrats Aren’t Winning
TheRepublican triumph in Montana punctuates how difficult the climb back will be for the out-of-power party in the hyperpartisan Trump era.

Democrats still aren't winning.

Four months into his administration, President Donald Trump registers the approval of barely 40 percent of the country. He is mired in an investigation that appears to expand by the day, and is continually damaged by government leakers seemingly determined to embarrass him.

Conservatives openly fret about the future of their ideological movement, given the president's rampant inconsistencies. Even with majorities on Capitol Hill, Republicans are struggling with delivering the legislative agenda they campaigned on, often burdened by papering over the latest Trump tweet or distracted by the daily Russia-related developments.

This week, they found themselves attempting to shrug off the astonishing meltdown of their Montana congressional candidate, who snapped at a reporter on the eve of Thursday's special election, allegedly slamming him to the ground and punching him.

The media narrative for the Republican Party in 2017 has teetered between dark and darker. A White House on the brink. A GOP Congress at war with itself. A slate of underperforming or uninspiring contenders.

And yet, the Democrats still aren't winning.

In the three opportunities they've had to deliver a brushback to Trump through special U.S. House elections, they've failed. These districts are undoubtedly conservative-leaning, having not been held by a Democrat for decades, and in one case, Democrats still have a shot to flip a seat in Georgia next month.

But for all the raised expectations on the left and the hand-wringing on the right, the results have been the same, underscoring just how difficult it will be for the minority party to claw its way back into power. Trump is weakened, but far from vanquished. Republican candidates may be flawed, but their loyal constituencies are showing up to bail them out – if only to rebut the narrative they're constantly hearing permeate out of Washington.
