Except the electronic vote fraud here last time was rumored to be as bad as in Georgia or Illinois, maybe worse.

No I dont think so but I did see earlier this morning that Rasmussan had a poll showing the GOP with a 5 point lead, last week it was 3

Thanks! Stupid Newsweek was saying it was a half a point for the Democrats.

Quick, tell Mitch McConnell to criticize the republican.

Drove through Hwy. 20 in Sep. 2016. East of Burlington, it was 100% Trump flags, none for the Beast.

Definitely a good chance for Smiley to pull it off.

Yeah, AOC dances on it all the time.

I wouldn’t exactly call a 6 point spread ‘closing in’.

49% is too close to 50%. Smiley would have to get 100% of the undecided vote unless she can peel off Murray’s existing support. Does Smiley have any funding to be able to do this?

Democrats do best when they can gin up anger from their zombie base. The media is trying to create a normie election for their beloved Democrats in a wave year. You go to the store and see pricing horrors and they have just started torturing us.

“Lets talk shop with Mark Kelly” is the crap they are throwing at us. This guy just voted to take our guns, double the IRS, and funnel a bazillion bucks to climate pirates. They really think people are stupid, and if they are, why have elections?

There are a couple of Poles in the House, but don’t know if any of them are generic. And of course there is Lisa Murkowski in the Senate.

Imagine the MSM narrative if Washington was a safe red state and Patty Murray was a Republican incumbent, there would be stories EVERYWHERE.

Trafalgar is a good polling outfits but if memory serves, Dino Rossi was on course to win the Governor’s office until it was stolen from him by the mail in ballots in King County. I believe this happened in 2004.

Seriously, he is a major league dumb ass. Every cycle his comments are anything but rallying. His latest “poor candidate choices,” while arguably true, is unnecessarily defeatist.

Turning to the WA race, the R is a hottie and the story of her disabled veteran husband quite compelling. She just might pull this off

Although this poll is within the margin of error of the actual jungle primary result, it is down three points from the 52.3% that Murray got in the jungle primary.

We’ll see and I will sure as hell hope.

At the beginning of August it was an 18% gap (with other Republicans still in the mix).

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tiffany-smiley-a-story-of-collateral-beauty/id1558906094?i=1000552678952

Above is a podcast with an interview of Smiley. Tough gal, smart.

She and her husband got married at 22 iirc, he was injured in the army and blinded, she was 23 iirc. When the government called her she was working as a nurse in Washington state. Her husband was being flown to Washington D.C.

Right after the phone call she quit her job, packed a bag and got a one-way ticket to D.C. to meet her husband. The next day she was going over paperwork with the officers and they wanted her to sign his discharge papers. He was blind and would never see again.

She said no. He has to have something to look forward to and to live for - and that was his military service. She stayed with her husband for a long time while he was in the hospital (6 months or more??). After a few days of her sleeping in the chair in his room they were going to kick her out. She said “You must have some place in this vast hospital where I can put down a sleeping bag!” They found a spot in the basement for her.

She helped her husband fight the red tape, he stayed in the military. He wanted to teach at West Point but he had to get more education so she helped him with that. (She wrote the images of graphs on his back so he could learn them!). He ended up teaching at West Point for quite awhile.

Obviously they are are both smart and tough and strong-willed. My wife doesn’t think she stands a chance. I think she does. Murray has been around for 30 years. Smiley says “Look out Murray - there’s a new mom in town.”

Nope, Smiley won't win even though way more qualified, in fact she'll lose by double-digits.

Smiley is pro-life, Murray is pro-abortion, that's enough for these stupid Washington voters to reelect dummy Patty yet again.

I live here, I know the liberal mindset, ain't even going to be close.

She will definitely be getting my vote. Looking forward to cancelling the vote I cast in 1992 for that hag Murray, back when I was young and dumb and had just discovered Rush, but hadn’t been listening long enough. At least I didn’t vote for Clinton that year.
