Try a ploy like this and they might be the ones out of a job next year.
    More good news. The fake majority is cracking.

            I'm curious what makes you think this is anything more than a hundred Trick Flick dipsh-ts vs a hundred Ted Cruz dipsh-ts padding their Georgetown applications and preparing for a life solemnly declaring what the rest of us ought to believe from their $3M Alexandria homes?

                  And every state has those busybodies.

                  But hey, maybe it's not that -- maybe it's an honest attempt to ascertain the truth by forthright and sincere debate.

                  And maybe Congress is that, too.

                        I went looking to see if there was an Akin in the woodpile. It doesn't look like it. It looks... well, it looks like a harbinger. And not the only one tonight.

                        One more district, a rural seat about halfway between St. Louis and the Arkansas border, remained too close to call as of 10 p.m. Eastern time. In that race, Democrat Jim Scaggs led Republican Chris Dinkins by just 66 votes out of about 4,100 cast, with ten precincts yet to report. President Trump won that district by an incredible 78 percent to 19 percent margin, making the narrowness of the race even more remarkable.
                        There's a long, long way to go and for all we know by November Dump will have declared martial law and the GOP legislatures will have canceled the elections, and our resident "conservatives" will be fine with it.

                        Anyway. It sure aint bad news.

                          Less significant, but DFLers outdrew Republicans 2:1(edit: actually going to end up closer to 3:1) at precinct caucuses in Minnesota tonight. The straw polls for governor are fairly meaningless in general, and especially so in the case of the Republicans since their nominee wasn't on the ballot tonight. But if they're counting on this mayonnaise smoothie of a man to generate excitement, they've likely got a problem.

                            In that second seat Dinkins, the Republican, won. Ahem, "handily?"

                            In unofficial results, the final tally of the special election was 2,998 for Dinkins and 2,699 for Scaggs — a 299 vote spread.

                                Interesting results since one internet poll got tons of press showing Goopers on the upswing! While past performance doesn't guarantee future results (sounds like something Chump would say to Melania) there's no substitute for actual voting. So far so good from the big (AL Senate, VA Gov) to the medium (VA state house elections) to the small (various state house and senate special elections) really in most places across the country so far.
