    The one big thing the liberal media never told you about Trump and the midterms

    Who was the real winner on Tuesday, Nov. 6th ?
    Not the Democrats but President Trump and America.

    Who flushed tens of millions of dollars down the crapper ?
    Not Republicans but Democrats.

    Who ended the Democrats phoney (FAKE) victory party yesterday (Wednesday, Nov. 7th) ?
    President Trump when he fired Jeff Sessions.
    Even Ruth Bader Ginsburg took a big fall right after hearing that Trump fired Sessions.

    The GREEN WAVE

    Democrats are going to pick up ~37 seats in the Congress, ~7 governorships, earn ~8 million more votes nationally, and lose ~2 senate seats in a year where 26 were on the chopping block.

    Cool, another happy poster. Can we expect more positive posts now that the blue wave was real?

    Why didn't the left pick up 60 seats in the house ?

    Not much of a blue wave for a midterm.

    So how many hundreds of millions of dollars did the liberal elitist spend to just pick up thode 38 seats ?

    It was a Green Wave not a blue wave.

    8 million low information voters !!!

    That's how Obama got elected in 2008...low information voters.

    You have an extremely ****ed definition of a wave if you need to see 60 seats change hands, but not ~37.

    But if you want to know why they didn't pick up more seats, the gerrymandering and restrictions to voting access helps to explain that situation.

    Also, it is 8 million more voters than those that voted Republican.

    50 to 60 seats change in the House is the normal during a midterm election.

    Are you going CNN (Jim Acosta) on us and are going to tell us what the definition of a "blue wave" is ?

    For almost a year CNN told us there was a blue wave coming where the Democrats would take back both the House and the Senate but never mentioned that there was no real blue wave, just a green wave of hundreds of millions of dollars from the Hollywood Left and the rich liberal elitist pouring into the DNC coffers and Democratic politicians hoping to flip a seat in Congress.

    Fake News CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta tried that yesterday when he wanted to change the definition of what an invasion is when arguing with President Trump.

    In the end game CNN/Acosta lost again and the Secret Service took away Acosta's White House press pass. :roflol::rock_slayer:

    I'll stand by with 8 million more low information people voting isn't a good thing for the Republic.

    "Normal"? :roflol:

    The bolded part is complete BS

    In the last 78 years, only 1994 (54 seats) and 2010 (64 seats) fit your criteria.

    That is far from "normal".

    How do you expect to be taken seriously when posting such misinformed BS?

    Nothing personal, of course. Just a friendly inquiry.:salute:

    President Trump’s House losses were far less than either the 54 seats President Clinton lost in 1994 or the 63 seats President Obama lost in 2010.

    Well that was just after 9/11 and even liberals were still scared of Muslims and were demanding that President Bush and the military protect them from scary looking Islamist jihadist.

    Vote here in CA where Democrats changed our voting system to allow them to allow only Democrats to run for the fall elections. Vote here where an illegal is welcome to vote.

    Those using CA representatives only use them due to our ruined election system.

    Democrats have installed lousy voting systems in CA.

    Take the Mayor of Oakland, Ca. She got 56 percent of the vote. A sure win eh?

    Get this, two women with far lower numbers are in the running. They have numbers like 14 percent of the winning vote. So with ranked type of voting, the election is not called for the Mayor who has the 65 percent votes. That is what Democrats do.

    Why did I strike that out? I was misled by our local TV news. They refused to call her a winner when I watched the News. Today I learn she did win. She was subject to ranked choice voting. A voting scheme cooked up by Democrats. Since she exceeded 50 percent, she did win.

    The news program showed her at 65 percent too.

    Have no idea how many were drunk or using drugs and were bombed.

    The wannabe bomber and successful terrorist was a loon.

    The only thing he got right was all of his targets were evil people.

    I know about California's jungle primary. Democrats were worried that they might get locked out of the general election because the democrats might split the vote so much than none ranked in the top 2. But there was a Republican on each ballot as well as far as I know, so not sure where you got the "only democrats to run."

    I also know about ranked choice voting. It's a method that has been well studied and it isn't cooked up by democrats. It is a flawed method of voting, but here's the thing: They are all flawed.

    No, Democrats changed the law so they get to only have the top two up for election. And what has happened is the top two are Democrats.

    Agreed that Ranked Choice is flawed.

    A major flaw with voting is that one listens to what amounts to a popularity contest form of discussion.

    Candidates do not appeal to us based on qualification or quality, but on popularity ideology.

    Gavin Newsom made a huge deal he was resisting Trump. Who gives a crap?? As the Lt. Gov Brown handed him do nothing jobs.

    I had repeatedly warned folks not to fall for the "Blue Wave!" media hype.

    Political progress in the US will be more comparable to the steady, inexorable sea level rise of anthropogenic climate change. The checks and balances of divided government, statehouse shifts, and passage of several state ballot questions to eliminate gerrymandered districts are essential to that progress.

    Women's and racial, ethnic, and religious minorities' greater participation in representative democracy, along with that over younger, better-educated voters, is cause for optimism.

    As an indication of the upward trend, in 2016, less-educated, older whit males went for the P-Grabber, and Trump secured his electoral college victory by winning Pennsylvania by 0.7%, Wisconsin by 0.7%, and Michigan by 0.2%. On Tuesday, with Lyin’ Don braying that he was on the ballot, Democrats won the popular vote in Michigan by 7%, in Wisconsin by 8%, in Pennsylvania by 10%.

    Lookin' good!

    Label them "evil" (and any blasphemer who is critical of the "Glorious Leader!" must be evil!) and, in the mind of at least one rabid Trumper, apparently.
