Blue Wave 2018

[CAA Flagship]

Pretty solid commentary by Mark Bauerlein on CNN. Make no mistake, I agree with JSO that we are probably in the last throes of conservatism in this country. It's only a matter of time before the socialists (er, I mean progressives) take over and annihilate the economy, tax the shit out of everyone, and disincentivize individual achievement. But anyway, the point of the read is, conservatives are fighting for their very existence at the moment. I'm glad I got to live 50 years in Free America.

At least you got 50. I had to tread lightly for about 25 years.....and only got the same exact rights you have had all of your adult life about 5 years ago.

OK, that cracked me up.

I'm glad that you think it's funny.

Awwww...and in which country would that have been any different?

I've never been a resident of another country so who gives a flying fuck? I thought that we were supposed to be leaders in equality?

Well hell, we're supposed to follow everyone else's lead when it comes to health care, taxes, entitlements, and gun ownership, but now we're supposed to lead the world in gay rights.

You people need to give us a cheat sheet on all this shit.

I'm not sure how i missed this....

the first time a Democrat has been elected from the 1st District since 1980 — was a stunning upset, flipping to Democratic blue from GOP red a district that Trump won with 53.3 percent of the vote just two years ago.

https://www.thestate.com/news/politics- ... 85930.html

Mark Sanford lost the GOP Primary b/c he wasn't lock step with Trump. He wouldn't support the GOP candidate (Kate Arrington).

I thought Kate won on Tuesday. Admittedly it's been a hellish week at work.

She lost. The 1st District, which includes Charleston (which truly is 1 of 3 cities that controls the SC) has gone Blue for the first time since 1980.

Charleston is very blue and Cunningham vowed to vote against Pelosi as Speaker. That's a huge plus.

30 seats so far, 10 undecided, donks lead in 5.

Probable recounts coming in GA governor's race and FL Senate seat.




Blue wave.

I recall when 30 seats changed hands during the Obama admin. it was a colossal repudiation of the Kenya-born Marxist.

And don't forget the redistricting thats coming.

D1 flipping to blue after nearly 40 yrs is interesting. I've lived most of my life in that district, aside from Charleston being the outlier (having a Democrat mayor for 40+ yrs), it's impressive to see this area go for a democrat over a Republican that suckles at Trumps teets.

Montana elected a Democrat senator in a State trump won by 20 pts.

True, but Tester would probably be considered a right wing nut job in deep blue states.

We've also had a Dem governor since 2004.

Maine went totally BLUE although ranked choice voting will play out for Second District Congressional seat between Bruce Poliquin (R) and Jared Golden (D). Also Maine elected its first female governor ever.
