2018 General Election Live Thread

Don Surber:

... But let us disabuse ourselves of the notion that there is anything good in this reversal in the House. The next two years will be rough. I hope the president appreciates the seriousness of the danger the House poses to the Republic.

Tea Party grandmas did not take over the House.

Bloodthirsty socialists did.

Act accordingly.

"Two Years of Crazy in the House"

6) The GOP’s problem with women has grown. In ‘06, Rs lost women by 12. Ystrdy, GOP lost women by 19.

9)The education gap has grown wider.  In 2006 (last time Ds won the House) college grads were +7 for the Ds. Yesterday they were +30 for the Ds. In 2006, non-college grads were +8 for the Ds. Yesterday, they were evenly split.

It sounds to me like the teachers' unions are to thank for these stats, which would also explain Walker's loss.

The teachers' unions can take credit for the defeat of some quality conservatives in the W.Va. Legislature. The dishonesty was stunning in its brazenness.

Meanwhile, the Teacher's Union utterly failed to replace Governor Ducey in AZ.  Their socialist candidate got stomped.

That's patently stupid. Except for the Commie Jenny from the Block in NY, all the open Socialists lost. The Rats ran "Moderate" GOP sounding candidates in these flipped seats. Hell, 20 or 30 Rat candidates openly said they would not support Pelosi.

You may not like this but Cruz is a wooden and stiff dud. He has no charisma and he speeches are lackluster. He's no Abbott.

THANK YOU!

Holy cow man. Ted Cruz is an empty suit. He also is completely dishonest sometimes.

The Walker loss is the fault of Walker. He ran a lazy and tired campaign and the Rat was offering a 10% tax cut.

Or Costello.

He is full of Conservative talking points but there is no there there.

Really?  When is he dishonest?

[dfwgator]

Or Costello.

For that you get a laurel, and hardy handshake.

[Dexter]

Really?  When is he dishonest?

For starters there was that bit during the primaries where he lied to Carson voters, saying he had already dropped out so they would vote for him. He's self interested. He also has sent people sketchy mail trying to promote himself. He's weird man. I don't sense one iota of integrity from him.

Texas lost 12 solid Republicans in the state house and 2 in the senate due to teacher's unions and TONS of NY and California money getting dumped into this state.

Still pushing that blatant and totally disproven lie I see. Smh

Better check your facts.

Cuomo's Revenge.

Yet listen to New York politicians respond to conservatives and it's basically "then move somewhere else!" All the while they're trying to conquer "somewhere else."

[Dexter]

Better check your facts.

If that was disproven I didn't hear about it. There's still that weird stuff he was sending people in the mail. I don't know. I've always had good intuition with people, and I sense something deeply sinister in Ted Cruz. Maybe I'm wrong.

Public school teachers are right up there with mainstream journalists as those most responsible for leading the nation merrily into sh*thole socialism.

The only consolation for me is I likely won't be around to share in the fruit of their moronic ideology.

[skeeter]

Maybe I'm wrong.

I think so.

And I was just starting to think there is hope for you....

Yep! And it's the same with me.  And you can count on the fact that I'll be fighting the bastards till the light goes out for me.

[Dexter]

There are a lot of people on both sides that give me the creeps. Ted Cruz is just one of the Republicans. I don't think he actually cares about anything but himself, sorry.

For the sake of argument, let’s say you’re right.  We’ve already heard we elected a president, not a pope. So, let’s just go with we elected a senator, not a saint, to be consistent.     

[Frank Cannon]

Glad to see you agree with me that Cruz is a dud. About time.

Ted Cruz is the ONLY politician I have encountered in my considerably long life to do in office EXACTLY what he said he would do while campaigning for office.  He has my vote for as long as he wants it.
