LOL at Trump's disapproval ratings. He is truly the equivalent of a bull in a china shop.

Northam won and Perriello handled it like a grownup.

 

 

He was able to challenge Northam's positions without tearing him down and putting him through a purity test. Go figure.

I predict Northam takes this comfortably. There is no enthusiasm for Gillespie and he almost lost to the racist Stewart who has spent half the campaign playing dress up at Antebellum-era themed balls. The NOVA voters in Arlington, Fairfax, Loudon, and Prince William counties have turned hard against the Republicans. Virginia is a blue state on the gubernatorial and presidential level at this point. 

ETA: I'm not shedding any tears for Steve "David Duke without the baggage" Scalise.

Women shape 2020 Democratic field

I hope Gillibrand and Harris run.

 Warren is too partisan and polarizing. I think the GOP are actually hoping she'll be the nominee. 

Handel's main points were so weak. She spent the whole time calling him a Nancy Pelosi puppet like she isn't a partisan hack her damn self.

loved when Ossoff called her to the carpet about her hypocrisy on the Syria strikes. Your national security stances shouldn't change based on who the President is. 

Why is the right so violent? Gianforte is a thug and should be arrested. 

Biden needs to sit down. I know folks have been swooning over him as VP but he has baggage that I don't feel like hearing about. Especially with the extreme left purists who are going to be going on and on about he's not a real progressive. I don't feel like hearing stuff about Anita Hill and the 1994 Crime Bill in the next cycle. 

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) to retire from Congress at the end of her term. She represents a district in Southeast Florida that went for Hillary Clinton by more than 20 points over Donald Trump. The biggest Hillary margin for any Republican held congressional seat.

That definitely would have been used against Sanders had he been the Democratic nominee and he would have lost by even more than Hillary did. Another reason the tax returns were never released was because Sanders tried to portray himself as destitute to bolster his image as outside the establishment. After the election, they purchased a $600,000 lakefront house. Per FEC rules, it's illegal to use campaign money for personal reasons, but he was paying his wife and family for "consulting" reasons and probably found a way to funnel those $27 donations into his pocket.

Bernie is and continues to be such a demagogue. Phony ass. 

Trump running to Twitter trying to take credit for the results. This is a RED seat that shouldn't have even been up for grabs but it was because of YOU. Idiot. 

Nate Cohn with the NYT says Ossoff early vote is much better than expected in Georgia.

He has outperformed Hillary in the precincts that have finished counting so far. Outperforming her in Cobb County which is where many "educated whites" live, Hillary also flipped this county from red to blue in November. 

Gorsuch doesn't change much on the court. Just hope that Justices Breyer and Ginsburg can stay on the court/stay alive until the 2020 primaries. 

Bernie is a demagogue and a loser. He perpetuated this victim narrative about elections being rigged but said NOTHING about the fact that the majority of his wins were in caucus states that disenfranchises MANY voters. 

Washington state held a Caucus and a Primary but only the Caucus results counted. Bernie won the Caucus but Hillary won the Primary where over 400,000 more people were able to participate. How could Hillary win many caucuses though when voters are unable to attend the meeting times or they have psycho Bernie bros yelling at them? Sanders and his crew can go f-ck off.

I am not here for these extras! Harpo who these women?

Republicans are idiots. They have no real solutions because they were planning on 4 years of blaming Hillary for not being able to produce a replacement for the ACA.

And Trump, when you lose the popular vote by 3 million and have a 37 percent approval rating you can't force bills down Congress' throat. You have to build camaraderie with the Congress and form alliances--- not run off to Florida every weekend.

I am not here for Tommie in any capacity. She is so extra for no reason and really has no place on the show without Prison Bae Scrap.

The cast feels light this year. Or maybe it's just that none of these people have anything substantial going on.

I am praying that Jon Ossoff wins here in GA. He isn't in my district, but I hope he wins the seat. He is someone I see might have a bright future in politics. 

I recently moved here. I am very excited that I get to send a message to Trump's Washington early. I'm excited for the Governor's race next year too. I'm hoping the absolute worst for the Trump administration so that the Dem nominee can attach the GOP nominee to him. He won the state but at narrower margins than McCain and Romney. Hillary flipped a few of these big suburban metro Atlanta counties (Gwinnett, Cobb, Douglas) blue. I just encourage people to take their frustration out at the polls.

I'm very excited about the 2017-2018 governor's races. Republicans lead Democrats in governor seats 33-16. There are many seats the Dems can snatch: Massachusetts, Maryland, New Mexico, New Jersey, Illinois, Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Nevada. This mid-term election season is of the utmost importance. People want him to be impeached but I honestly want Trump to remain and fall flat on his face: Not only so that GOP voters defect from him but the crowd that has been loud since the day AFTER Election Day, get their behinds out and VOTE

So glad Keith Ellison lost. Bernie bros need to go away with their delusions and petulant childish rants. He lost fair and square. They can't compromise on sh-t and are annoying as hell. Perez was one of the most progressive members of Obama's administration. I have confidence in him. 

I am not here for Keith Ellison AT ALL. He is one of those people that think being a Democrat/progressive deserves some sort of purity test. Will he understand that Democrats are a party that have to cater to several different factions? There are the uber-liberal Democrats in the Northeast and West Coast, the religious conservative Democrats that get elected in majority black districts in the South, the Democrats that have to be center right in the Western plain states. I just do not think he has a 50 state strategy. Him and the rest of the Bernie people are annoying as hell. Running to the far left only alienates more voters and will cause disastrous results in 2020. Bernie would have lost worst than Hillary, but due to Bernie's demagoguery his little fans still think he was "robbed" and that he is an angel.  

At the end of the day, a president should have the cautious pragmatism that Hillary had. Running to the hard right or left like Trump and Bernie only alienates the opposite sides and only appeases the interests of <40 percent of the country. She may have been the wrong candidate, but she had the right message.

Potomac: Giselle is BAE! 

Atlanta: Porsha is trash and a hypocrite.

Betsy bought that seat and any senators that didn't get in line were threatened with the Devos family funding a campaign for any potential primary challengers of said senators. Murkowski and Collins both come from states that are not ridiculously partisan. 

Marlo's been trolling for a peach for 6 years. It's pathetic at this point. 

Trump did not win in a mandate. While everyone was touting his unfavorable numbers people forgot that while his were historic, so were Hillary's. I'd like to see him win an election against someone who is not the second least popular candidate ever. His margin of victories in the three key rust belt states were less than 1 percent on average. I don't see it in 2020 but this year has taught us to expect the unexpected.

I was up this morning watching the past 5 episodes.... these women are so SHADY! OMG!

Mariah said Quad without make up and a weave was like Mr. Potato Head lmao and when she said Toya could take her scooter and ride to H&R Block!!!!!

I am not here for Quad at all.... she is annoying as sh-t. She wants Mariah to be bothered so bad. That mess with keeping them from going into the party was childish and leaving money at the door so Ayden and Mariah could make it home. Really b-tch? That is so petty considering that you were living out of your car and the Huqs put you up in an apartment when you first got to Atlanta. 

Mariah did not make Simone's dad's death about herself. I too would have been shocked that she invited Quad along to share such a profound and deep moment with her but I did not even receive a phone call. Mariah goes way back with Simone and knows her family... Quad just got on the scene and was introduced to Simone via Mariah. It's hurtful. 

Lisa Nicole has such low self esteem. I believe that Darren is gay chile. All the extra sh-t about how he couldn't get off and how he missed his flight. He was laid up for three days with one of his hoes in LA.

Tacky Toya.... this bitch is so uncouth and ignorant. Her husband is a weak ass man and I wasn't her for her going in on LN for being the spa with Simone. Simone asked her to be in there you buck toothed broad.

Heavenly's storyline is dry.... she has not changed and I am confused on when this journey was supposed to have taken place?

Jackie is f-cking stunning and her fashions have been ON POINT this season. Her face was beat for the gods in Hawaii. Her husband and his mole can go tf away. He is bitter and feels inadequate. Ain't nothing worse than a big ass insecure ass man.

RHOA: Are they going on a trip this year? Were there any hints on social media that they were going out of the country?

They can't talk about white privilege in a state that is land stolen from the Mexicans they hate so much? Oh.
