Many people are capable of thinking for themselves. The actions of the extreme left aren't going to make people suddenly vote right. This election wasn't about media backlash. Hilary was just a terrible candidate that many hated.
Goes a lot deeper than hillary. Democratic senators struggled in 2016 as well. Many that were expected to win.

He likely was asking for it, then it happened.

He was asking to be bodyslammed?

Because he asked a question?

You may be correct. I am just guessing based on my perceptions. The democratic party needs to get their shite together. I truly believe the majority people think more liberally. The messaging is just not connecting with people. Of course having states that the popular vote is 50/50, yet 70% of seats get filled republican doesn't help either....

Never been more clear than it is today that the GOP is not the right response to the horrible Democratic Party.


This is patently obvious.

But neither party really cares about anything more than winning elections anymore, from the politicians to the voters.

Politicians lie everyday, but Trump adds personal insults to his lies


Martha Washington called Jefferson “most detestable” and his election to the presidency two years earlier as “the greatest misfortune our country had ever experienced.”

Sounds pretty personal to me.

Barrack, Bush, Clinton, etc. did not make fun of disabled people, insult POW veterans, called Mexicans rapists, or straight up insulted gold star families and then doubled down on those insult.


You must have been detached during BHO's term because I distinctly recall being called a "Tea Bagger", among other things, by BHO because I believe in LIMITED government regardless of who is in charge or what their ethnicity is!

Anyway, back to the OP, this will be an interesting race and although both candidates may be bad, I hope the more conservative wins regardless of there's a D or and R behind his name!

All the Republican had to to was to not bodyslam the reporter. It's not that hard to do that.



That fact that this is a straight, serious comment, is pretty damn hilarious.

If you get body slammed do you really get up and say "hey why did you just body slam me?"

Montanans will demand video proof before changing their vote

You realize you've NEVER been right with your night before or day of election predictions? Why do you do this to yourself?

Wow, this is crazy stuff... Nate estimates that at least, maybe even more, 2/3 of the votes have already been cast. The R was expected to win by 8 - 15%, so this news probably doesn't change the results of the election.

Doesn't matter. Ryan won't seat him, and we get special election 2.0

In that case, the Rs probably still hold the seat.

Even if we wins, he's not getting seated. Paul Ryan will slice those gonads off and we will have another election.

Then the Repubs win again. Get a grip, man. What happens to you 24 hours before polls close?

I hope so b/c he clearly isn't fit for office if that's how he reacts to a question he doesn't want to answer.

I said this in Iosh's thread.

If Pianoforte wins tomorrow, I'm gone from the poliboard for one month.
