Tiberius Posted February 21, 2018 Author Posted February 21, 2018 Quote Early Tuesday evening, Democrat Linda Belcher was pronounced the winner of the special election in Kentucky’s House District 49, a seat that Donald Trump carried by a 72-23 margin in 2016 and that went 66-33 for Mitt Romney in 2012. Her 68-32 victory represents a ridiculous 45-point improvement on Hillary Clinton’s performance. https://www.vox.com/2018/2/20/17034262/kentucky-special-election-linda-belcher 1

row_33 Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 gerrymandering was done by the Dems during 1944 to 1994 to accommodate the guarantee of a few African-American victories for the House. will overturning all this lead to a diminution of the Congressional Black Caucus? an irony that dare not speak its name...

That rule is just silly. They should change it to "In the event more than 125% of a precincts eligible voters cast ballots, excessive Republican votes shall be discounted until the number of votes casts does not exceed 125%"

After all the states' rights they've trampled in the past ten years, they punt on an issue which is federal, Constitutional issue? The Democrats don't actually stand for anything, do they?

B-Man Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 Senator Bill Nelson: Gun Debate Will Help Democrats Bill Nelson, the Democrat Senator from Florida, seems to think the gun control debate is going to help his party in the midterms. Gun control is normally a loser issue, but you have to understand that when Nelson says ‘gun control debate’ what he really means is the coordinated smear campaign against Republicans and the NRA (more…)
Tiberius Posted February 26, 2018 Author Posted February 26, 2018 Kind of reminds me of California in the 1990's with Pete Wilson going after immigrants. The backlash sorts of makes people get more politically active A silver lining: “Many consider the Donald Trump presidency a detriment to the values of human rights and the international order. But there is a silver lining: Civil society engagement and interest in politics has increased exponentially. According to a study by the School of Public Affairs at American University, people were three to four times more likely to engage politically, including discussing politics, signing petitions, attending rallies, donating to a political cause, or joining a political interest group after Trumps election.”

Still won't give him credit for this though... So the Dems want to open up the Feinstein rotten borough Senate seat for an honest contest? Thanks!!!

Of course they do. Their definition of "honest" being "we win," of course. Any other result is "Russian hacking."
