How is MSNBC giddy over her getting beat by 8 percentage points?


Republicans won this district by +20% the past two elections. They see it as a good sign for the Dems.

The media set up the narrative for a win no matter the outcome. You watch they are going to say that the Dems are starting to turn the needle. It’s stupid…

So in the past month we’ve learned that democrats will still vote for someone advocating death to republican children and someone openly hating everything about their city.

Democrats have no shame.

They can only cheat if the GOP Rinos let them. Like in 2020.

Not just Nsashville. That district stretches over an hour outside of the city.

If just Nashvillle, she probably wins.

Someone from Tennessee. Please explain to me.
the district includes some very heavy blue areas offset by the good folks in Clarksville and Ashland City.

Remember Nashville elected a D mayor at like 65%.

In a normal election cycle, the margin would likely be close to, if not, double.

Same district was 20%+ for Trump just over a year ago.

I think the intended point was that this woman literally hates the city and the people that she was running to represent. ...and still received some votes outside of her family and friends.

Yea, during a national election with a presidential race on the ticket.

Robertson, as an example, had less than half of the total votes.

It is hard to discuss Davidson and Williamson since they are broken apart, but a 9% win in a special election on Dec 2nd with poor turnout, that’s a pretty decent schalacking, IMO.

Had it been a national election, I would bet the margin would be 18-20%.

Go look at FL’s recent special election. The win was about half of what the previous individual won it by in 2024, and that was in April, less than 6 months from the national election.

Would you use that as evidence of shifting tides?

I wouldn’t use a special election as evidence.

The fact that this psycho got more than 20% of the vote when running against an Army Ranger is a sad day for our country. No one with an IQ above room temperature should have even considered her as a viable candidate.

Nashville overwhelmingly voted for her. Luckily the rest of the district didn't.


It’s was gerrymandered for that result

I hope you're right. She gives me the creeps. I hope she just goes away now. We should all commit to never mentioning her name again.

People are just getting fed up with Trump-- the lies, illegal orders and conduct by the military, ICE overreach, arresting and keeping citizens in jail for prolonged periods of time with no criminal charges, unaffordable healthcare, that's just the start of a litany of abuse.

I would rather not think about Trump, or MAGA. America is falling apart-- at the seams.
