[cotton1706]

Kirk and Ayotte! Progress!

Goes to show that despite the Establishment rhetoric, moderates are more easily taken out by democrats!

NH is slowly turning blue. When their legislature goes taxes are going to go so high it’ll make NY look like a tax haven.

[SaveFerris]

Yeah, I definitely have to say ‘good riddance’ to those two.

[bobk3]

They are a bunch of corrupt Establishment slime balls who tried to defeat Trump. They were perfectly happy to see Hillary win.

THESE CREEPS NEED TO GO WHEN THEY ARE UP FOR RE_ELECTION.

But in the meantime, Trump needs their votes in Congress.

It is going to be a balancing act, but they have to be kept in line.

These people are dangerous. They will do anything to protect themselves and their special interests. They will look for opportunities to stab Trump in the back.

.

[fwdude]

I never thought I’d be thrilled by a general election Repub loss. How wrong I was.

[Gay State Conservative]

Hate to break it to ya,Freepers...but the one who replaced Ayotte is just about the filthiest pig to have ever drawn breath.

Another example of "be careful of what you wish for".

[ilgipper]

The fact that Clinton won despite the electoral wave is evidence of that. Thing is, the senator probably could have far outpaced Trumps votes in NH, but she completely caved on her promises to kiss the leaderships butt. What motivation was there to send her back in a change election.

[Boogieman]

Yeah, it’s not like these two RINOs were replaced by better Senators.

We lost a couple wishy washies that would at least vote for us on most issues, and gained some lefties that will never vote for us.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I guess the voters decided that they would rather have a real DemocRat than one pretending to be a Republican.

[NohSpinZone]

The only thing that bummed me out about the Senate races was not being able to capture Dirty Harry’s seat. That rat bastard can be smug that his union cronies in Clark County saved his leathery hide again. I thought Sharon Angle had a real shot in 2010 but no. I didn’t know much about Dr. Heck but when I saw Nevada went to Clinton pretty early, I gave up there.

[mtrott]

True. And it apparently does not occur to some Freepers that perhaps the reason they had lower conservative ratings was that they were serving in liberal states, and would never have been elected in the first place if they were “red meat” conservatives. They had to walk a tight wire to be elected to office. Now we have two more democrats for the next six years.

[Stevenc131]

Obama and Hillary view more Democrats in the Senate as progress also. Forward!

[SaveFerris]

Yeah, I can see that.

I was watching Florida on NYT (great tool BION) and thought all was over. Then it started changing.

I was watching Ohio on NYT (great tool BION) and thought all was over. Then it started changing.

I was watching Pennsylvania on NYT (great tool BION) and thought all was over. Then it started changing.

Only time in my life I’ve ever actually done that (watched a tool with close-to-real-time updates).

I couldn’t believe my eyes.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I am so happy to see Ayotte go. It’s almost as good as seeing Collins go.

[tomkat]

I hear ya !

I was refreshing the PA SoS website about every 20 seconds, doing the math whenever the numbers would change, and (prolly) annoying hell out of the Trump Family thread with seemingly endless real-time updates from 10pm to 2am .. LOL

But OMG how glorious it was when it was finally called for DJ !

[SaveFerris]

;)

[bigbob]

I debated about voting for Kirk and in the end I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t vote for Duckworth either, but we’re at least as well off with her as with a useless RINO like Kirk who consistently voted the wrong way every time it counted. She will be good on veterans issues, which was one of the few things Kirk did get right.

[bagman]

Yeah, isn’t wonderful that the Republican caucus is reduced by two?

[vmivol00]

I would rather have a known enemy than turds like Ayotte, Kirk, McCain, Graham, Portman, Flake...man this list is too long...Toomey, Corker....etc.

[vmivol00]

Could care less about losing turds like Ayotte and Kirk.

When stupid GOP voters continue to reward these RINO turds with re-election regardless of what they say or who they stab in the back...how could you possibly expect them to ever behave any differently.

Time and time again GOP voters in places like AZ, SC, and others tell folks like McCain, Flake, Graham, etc. that there no consequences for betraying their base.

I’m finished with that approach. I refused to vote Portman in OH.
