Hopefully the evil socialist party got the message yesterday. We do not want to be like Venezuela.

It's just semantics, but you're not saying "mentally disabled." You're saying "liberally disabled," which means the opposite of what you're wanting to say.

If someone is mentally disabled, do you think that they have an excess of mental capabilities? Then why would someone that's "liberally disabled" have an excess of liberalism?

You believe wrongly.

The leftists are Disabled because they have fully embraced Liberalism.

Sad.

Sparkles, someone that's "liberally disabled" would be a conservative.

Think about it. If you're physically disabled then you lack one or more physical abilities. If you're mental disabled then you lack one or more mental abilities. So "liberally disabled" means that you lack liberalism.

I think you're either trying to say "liberally enabled" or "conservatively disabled."

The Liberally Disabled would find a speck of sawdust in a sack of gold nuggets.

Rush Limbaugh today.

Donald Trump lost ***berland County in 2016 by over 20,000 votes. Tonight, the Republicans won it back. So why isn't this the news? Well, we know why this isn't the news 'cause this does not look good for the Democrats. They have a 35% black population in ***berland County, North Carolina. Trump lost it by 20,000 votes in 2016. Tonight, the Republicans win with a slight majority of black voters. What's going on?

Well, take a look at African-American unemployment. Take a look at African-American poverty dropping.

Take a look at African-American food stamp participation dropping. Take a look at the number of African-Americans who have jobs and getting raises. It's phenomenal! It's more than ever happened for them when Democrats have been in control. You could say this is historic. Trump loses by 20,000 in a 35% black county, and the Republican wins it? That is a trend the Drive-Bys do not want you knowing anything about. The Democrats poured $8 million (about that) into this district, North Carolina 9.

I agree with every word of that post, Sparkles.

The election should have been done over.
Mark Harris was a snake in the grass.

But, it is interesting that the results were about the same.
Especially since the leftist campaigned for three years and spent millions in out of state antitrump cash.

I actually expected him to win.

So wait, you guys didn't think the election should have been done over? Even though the first guy that ran was charged with fraud for paying people (for years) to pick up voter ballots and throw away the ones they didn't like?

A win of 905 votes is hardly anything to celebrate, though. While granted a win is a win, this is a heavily Republican district that Trump won by 12 points in 2016.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but they were still using the illegally gerrymandered maps for this vote. The Republicans won't have that advantage in 2020.

It would be helpful if the losercrats bought a CLUE.

The Democrats could not even buy the election with Dan McCready burning through $4.7 million versus Bishops campaign spent $1.7 million.



It must really suck to be a democrat nowadays, can't even buy an election.

McGreedy has lost twice now.

I suppose he will run for Senate or maybe President now.

He can follow the career path blazed by Beto O'Crap.
