Yeah, Cooper's a goner.   Whatevs, we can make that seat up elsewhere.

Yeah, well, just wait until Taylor Swift endorses the Democrats running in all 3 districts cracking Nashville and the gerrymander collapses.

yes/no (not stupid)

cis is literally just a way of describing people who still identify with the gender they were assigned at birth how on earth is it a slur

Fine, be a cis-sy. How is "tranny" degrading?  Is "granny" degrading too? Or should I go with "grams"?

hmmm if the n word is offensive then why is tigger a beloved children's character? is that not offensive too? make up your mind sjws.

- I won second place in an international essay contest in 2015.

Didn't know Stormfront organized essay contests.

You are one to speak.

I would've entered in one if I knew.

This is like watching that great 70s sitcom, Santander and Son.

Did the pollster remind Republicans that all black people would also be recieving Medicare in this instance? Looks like they didn’t.

Sometimes you have to get creative...

Downright ignorance expressed here. Any fool could see that. Very disappointing too. Ignorance really does breed callousness. Desperation on the part of the right to shut discussion of assault down.

Is there anything that can be done? Some understanding surely.

As part of my dealing with assault cases;

Sometimes what's thought as atypical, However disjointed it may be, Is actually a common psychological response. That means that it's very rare. Even atypical to the usual response. But trauma affects recollection. A fully formed memory can be one that later fractures. Generally going to the authorities early would help.

Sometimes, if not most of the time that's difficult. Often affected by attitudes and how seriously allegations are dealt with.

So to have the president mock a victim like that without regard to her lived experience. Undeniably that's someone who doesn't care about women. Callous masculinity from a man who's probably paid off or married those that cause him the slightest 'grievance.' Knowing that is key.

Incredibly the right wing seen to be adopting that worldview. Trumpism is victimhood: it has no time for actual victims.

Democrats collapse in Senate Races losing: North Dakota by double digits, Nevada, Florida, Missouri, Montana and Indiana.

Menendez barely squeaks by in NJ winning by 2-3 pts while Manchin barely squeaks by as well winning by 4-5 pts.

John James pulls the upset of the night and wins Michigan by less than 10,000 votes. Michigan polls have been awful the last few cycles and that will continue this year. James will overperform in Wayne County and Stabenow won't get the turnout she needs similar to Hillary in 2016.

This sounds funny now, but what if he's right?  I doubt he is, but it's been known to happen when people laugh at these kinds of predictions.

Yes, but Michigan? Really? This seems like one of those cases were the user just can't seem to differentiate between what they want to happen and what all available data suggests will happen. Right now, the MIGOP looks like they are in for a shellacking. Absolutely nothing suggests James will be able to avoid that.

I have issues with a couple others but Michigan really takes the cake.

Like I said he's probably wrong.  But strange things have happened before.

Ain't your daddy's Orange County, that's for sure.

Yeah, clearly all the voters that gave Romney a big win there in 2012 died in 4 years.

Don’t tell RINO Tom that his kind is a rapidly declining minority within the GOP though.

Are you suggesting that minorities can't drive? That's pretty racist.

Context of 2018 Senate predictions.

AZ: Sinema +1 (D gain)
FL: Nelson +4
IN: Braun +2 (R gain)
MI: Stabenow +14
MN-spec: Smith +10
MO: Hawley +4 (R gain)
MT: Rosendale +1 (R gain)
NV: Rosen +4 (D gain)
ND: Cramer +14 (R gain)
OH: Brown +10
PA: Casey +15
TN: Blackburn +10
TX: Cruz +4
WV: Morrisey +2 (R gain)
WI: Baldwin +11

So net gain of R+3. I think anywhere from D+1 to R+4 has a good chance of happening though.
