'Nelson has no path': Democrats admit Scott beats Florida icon
POLITICO ^ | November 16, 2018 | Marc Caputo

Posted on 11/16/2018 7:12:34 PM PST by Trump20162020

Sen. Bill Nelson has run out of time, run out of favorable court rulings and is about to officially run out of votes.

After losing to Gov. Rick Scott on Election Day, losing after an automatic recount and appearing to not make up the gap following a manual recount Friday, Nelson’s campaign was dealt a mortal blow later that evening by U.S. District Judge Mark E. Walker, who crushed the Democrat’s last major hope by upholding a Florida law that forbids county election offices from counting vote-by-mail ballots received after 7 p.m. Election Day.

“It’s done. But it was done before today. This was a total Hail Mary,” said a top Democrat involved in Nelson’s campaign who didn’t want to speak publicly before the Democratic Party icon conceded defeat to one of the party's most-hated rivals.

“We threw a Hail Mary because we don’t give a F about the country, the state, the sanctity of a free election, etc. Win by any means necessary!”

Good to see that old GIF [#26]. JimRob built it for me because I have used that thought for a tag line since the 90's... still do, obviously. A message that needs to be spread as broadly as possible - and Hildebeest is the epitome example!

Thank you for the post. I had no idea where it came from or who made it. I found it while going thru old threads.
Thanks again

Amen. I can’t believe we have millions of idiot democrat voters willing to allow the Clinton crime family back into the White House. Especially Hillary. Bill was a useful idiot, but Hillary is a true believer. And a totally evil God-hating, America-hating, capitalism-hating wannabe Marxist/fascist totalitarian. God help us.

These bastards should shut their mouths about “Hail Mary” - most of them are baby-murdering, sodomite enabling atheists.

2 GOP senators and a Governor from the 3rd largest state.

The Rats are distraught they could steal this one.

They never had a path. The Democrats are simply trying to see what they are allowed to STEAL....

While everyone is focused on Florida a ton of House races closely won by Republicans are being stolen in States like California.

The Democrats are running a test to see what they can get away with when they run Hillary and Michelle in 2020. That is right that is the DNC ticket Hillary/Michelle 2020.

You thought it was rough the first 2 years with President Trump. It is about to get far worse. All because the Democrats are being allowed to STEAL the 2018 election.

Oh and as for the 2020 election as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow. They will steal it for Hillary and Michelle. It will not matter that President Trump has 10,000 to 1 in votes. The DNC and the Globalists are going to steal the election.

This is after they PLUNGE the economy by having the Fed raise the Interest rates so quickly the U.S. will not be able to make the minimum payments to our National Debt. Say goodbye to the U.S. Petro Dollar Reserve.

President Trump will not be able to get any legislation through because Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats will block any type of tax cuts or something that could stimulate our economy.

While we may out number them. The Globalists plan to set up their robot and Drone army to deal with us over the next 16 years. The A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) will keep an eye on everyone much like 1984. Hillary will be given the next 8 years and then Michelle for 8 years. They plan to destroy the Republic.

This is why the Democrats cannot be allowed to steal the House of Representatives. They are stealing seats in California, Maine, Etc that was won by Republicans in the House. If this is allowed to happen, then expect a physical revolution within 16 years or less. The Globalists will probably start it by going to war against Russia. Which will mean nuclear war. The Democrats and the Globalists are pure evil.

The dems were desperate to hold the Senate seat in Fl. Now it looks like the Senate will be 53 - 47. The dems thought they could turn 3 Rinos in any important vote. But now they have to turn 4. Very difficult to do.

I’m glad Stapleface is going away. He is the second scariest looking of all the critters. The #1 scariest is that caveman guy.

Do not be so confident about Mississippi my friend. A ton of money will be poured into the race, Some McDaniel supporters want revenge for his defeat at the hands of Barbour, Inc and will either not vote or vote to see Hyde-Smith does not win. AZ was lost because too many Arpaio and Ward supporters did not feel McSally was pure enough.

The Dems will get out and vote in a low turnout election and I am not sure enough good guys will show up to carry the day.

Hyde Smith is a foolish woman.

You don’t say stupid things like that.

Espy will probably win. He’s the black candidate and the turnout will increase.

Pretty clearly she is/was NOT. Who needs another McLame for decades?
