We are only accustomed to dealing with like twenty online personas at a time so when we only have about ten people some people have to be strawmanned in order to advance our same relative go nowhere nonsense positions. -TheReal_ND

It was still a significant loss for Trump. I think Trump needs to stop supporting these cucked out republicans. These Paul Ryan and Jeb Bush types need to hit the road asap.

Re: 2017 Election - What does it mean?
Do you actually believe that a more radical GOP candidate would have won either state? I don't know as much about VA as NJ, but here only centrist economically and socially liberal R's get elected, that's what Christie was before he got national ambitions, as was Whitman and Kean before him. As for VA, it's likely now simply too educated, immigrant, and non-white to go for your kind of guy.Speaker to Animals wrote:It was still a significant loss for Trump.

If by "radical" you mean not yet another unlikeable Bush-style neocon, then yes.
It's the base turnout that matters and these clowns have been smothering the life out of the republican base for years now. They have to go.

Can you define ‘guac bowl politics’?Speaker to Animals wrote:Yeah, republicans need to abandon the guac bowl politics and the insufferable suits that advance those politics. Like yesterday.

Yet, what the people of New Jersey have been looking for for, for decades, is competent technocrats just like what those candidates claim to be. Administrations of both parties have completely fucked the finances of this state. They would never vote for a "blow it up" candidate. Trump's base simply doesn't exist in large numbers in New Jersey, although loyal party members of course still voted for him. He didn't win New Jersey, why would a mini-me?Speaker to Animals wrote:brewster wrote:Do you actually believe that a more radical GOP candidate would have won either state?Speaker to Animals wrote:It was still a significant loss for Trump.

It was a loss as much as a teenager popping a zit. There are more to be ready for in the future.Speaker to Animals wrote:It was still a significant loss for Trump. I think Trump needs to stop supporting these cucked out republicans. These Paul Ryan and Jeb Bush types need to hit the road asap.

Gillespie was a never-Trumper. I use was because it seems doubtful to me that we'll ever hear much from him again. VA has been going Blue for quite some time now, and once again, if you check the electoral map, you'll find the Red counties far from the coastal population centers.
Some formerly funny guy made some sort of observation about Trump's losing money in the casino business--as if it were free money, and yet, New Jersey The Garden State still heads towards insolvency--ever get a whiff of a garden like that?
Fewer than one quarter of registered voters turned out and elected DeBlasio for a second term in NYC.
The infection hasn't spread, it's just septic.
