Don Lemon: Is It Better For The GOP To Win Elections Or Lose Elections?
dailycaller.com ^ | 5/26/2017

Posted on 05/26/2017 7:13:16 AM PDT by Helicondelta

On Thursday night, CNN’s Don Lemon wondered if losing elections rather than winning would actually be more beneficial to the Republican party.

The topic was Montana’s special election for Congress, and CNN had spent the past 24 hours replaying audio of the GOP candidate allegedly “body slamming” a reporter.

As the votes were tallied and it became evident that Greg Gianforte, the GOP candidate, would prevail victorious, Lemon shifted gears.

No longer was this special election a referendum on President Trump.

No longer was this about how much voters did or didn’t respect the media.

Now, instead, we must explore how winning may actually be a bad thing for the GOP. Lemon asked CNN analyst Gloria Borger, “what’s better then for the Republican party? Is it better for Gianforte winning, or him losing this election?”

Borger ultimately concluded, “I would always say that they’d rather win.”

Donald Trump needs to use this to his advantage when negotiating with McConnell and Ryan.

Hey Don, is it better for Democrats to win elections, or to lose elections?

If losing elections is good for your party, then the Democrats are experiencing their Golden Age.

The last thing the GOP needs advice from are its enemies like Don Lemon.

The latest poll numbers are out. Rasmussen (the most accurate poll of the 2016 election) has Trump at 48 percent approval. It’s important to note that’s just about the exact same place he was at when he was elected president- just under half the country supports him. Since we come out to vote in much higher numbers...and we have an electoral edge in Midwest battleground states...48 percent is all Trump needs to win re-election again. Keep in mind that’s after the two worst weeks in the history of modern presidents. That’s after two weeks of the most biased, vicious, negative...history. That’s after firing the FBI Director.

Would you rather come in first or second? Would you rather be leading or trailing toward the end of a completion?

These are always stupid question. Ranking up there with - what would you say are your strengths and weaknesses?

Yes he is. I was going to ask if this nerd is naturally stupid, or does he have to work at it.

Lemon’s still around?

I’ve seen a few videos of him. I can only describe him as an arrogant imbecile. He doesn’t seem to have a clue just how dumb he comes across.

Lemon, working a little TOO hard to live up to Trump’s description of him:

“This Don Lemon, who’s perhaps the dumbest person in broadcasting.”

For the GOPe I think they would rather lose. They keep their perks, do not have to do any work or take any responsibility and blame it all on the dims.
