In John Lee Hooker's words, "A-boom, boom, boom, boom."
Cook Political Report on Friday morning changed its ratings for 20 House seats, predicting that Democrats’ odds of winning those districts has increased now that House Republicans passed a bill to repeal Obamacare.
“Although it’s the first of potentially many explosive votes, House Republicans’ willingness to spend political capital on a proposal that garnered the support of just 17 percent of the public in a March Quinnipiac poll is consistent with past scenarios that have generated a midterm wave,” Cook Political Report’s David Wasserman wrote in a post explaining the ratings changes. “Not only did dozens of Republicans in marginal districts just hitch their names to an unpopular piece of legislation, Democrats just received another valuable candidate recruitment tool.”
He wrote that for some Republicans, backing the American Health Care Act is an “unequivocal political risk.”Cornell University

Re: 115th Congress. In Bridge, Can Hearts be Trumped? In Spades!
As long as Trump does not get impeached, the Dems can start to retake some seats. He is a gift that keeps on giving. GOP has no spine to say no when Trump is just plain wrong on any issue, lie or tweet. They won't do what is right but do what is good for the party only.Originally posted by Kepler View PostNCAA Champs 2012, 2010, 2008, 2001, 1949, Hockey East Tourney Champs 2012 #11, Beanpot Champs 2016

His only concession being he didn't cross the NRA. After awhile it's just a matter of conditioning, the only constant in politics was that you checked Obey every two years.
Maybe Jebbers himself could win that seat, as he's still extremely popular in Florida. Mostly because he produced a massive improvement in public education as Governor. Whether that popularity would translate to Jebber Jr. is whole 'nother kettle of marlin. But otherwise it's a 97% chance it goes to a Dem regardless of what happens nationally.Originally posted by WiscTJKOriginally posted by Timothy AOther than Wisko McBadgerton and Badger Bob, who is universally loved by all?Comment

Re: 115th Congress. In Bridge, Can Hearts be Trumped? In Spades!
Rand Paul takes his last remaining shred of dignity and immolates it on the Senate floor.
But if they want to play, fine. It means the next Democratic majority can use Reconciliation on anything it wants, including a bill to set the marginal tax rate for millionaires to 99%.
It also means there is no longer any reason to have a Senate, so we should abolish it and go to a legislature of the people rather than the states. The "cooling pan" doesn't protect us from right wing radicals and neither does the Electoral College, so it's time for those institutions to go along with what Cruz calls "stale norms."Last edited by Kepler; 05-16-2017, 03:02 PM.Cornell University

Re: 115th Congress. In Bridge, Can Hearts be Trumped? In Spades!
With the globalists' hand being forced, I'm not sure you're going to see exactly what you expect. Although to be fair, Things started going the Dems way with Gerald Ford. Not to mention, constant "change" (but not really, just which party) is good for the NWO, but people are waking up to it.Originally posted by BCeagle View PostComment

Re: 115th Congress. In Bridge, Can Hearts be Trumped? In Spades!
Montana's special election seems like an apt metaphor for the whole coming national cycle. You had 2/3 of the vote already in yesterday (2/3 of the sheeple are married to a political party no matter what). You had the GOP's leading candidate assault a reporter (comparable to the Trump admin raping the US), upsetting his constitution and breaking his eyeglasses (do I need to spell this out?) We will find out which way the wind blows with the final result today. Hoping for a tidal wave of outrage.Huskies are very intelligent and trainable. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.
