The Ocasios of US politics dont believe a word of their line. They will do as they are paid to do.

Indeed, Ocasio Cortez it turns out was not backed by poor Puerto Ricans in the primary, but by wealthy gentrifiers. Class war is the last thing people like this are into, rather it is more culture war.

[Artcore]

Not judging but I would’ve voted D. He will do more harm than good.

It made me sick to do it! I voted for Kennedy in our primary!

[KansasGirl]

I don’t really trust Watkins either, but it was he was better choice than far-left Rat Paul Davis.

[plain talk]

“I’d actually love it if they are dumb enough to impeach.”

I wouldn’t ... and Trump certainly won’t like it.

[snarkytart]

McCaskill took the worst @ss whipping of the night.

hahah true

but watching the media darlings in FLORIDA and TEXAS go down was sweet too.

Now back to Pelosi..so much fun the next two years.

[cherry]

has anybody heard anything on Mia Love?....

Cathy McMorris Rodgers R..declared winner in eastern washington

[Agrarian]

Gotta love Dennis Miller. I saw him live a few years ago and he was great.

[novemberslady]

I live in Utah and was forced to vote for that A$$hole

I'm sorry you had to vote for that asshole but thank you

And if it makes you feel any better, I once let a bunch of people talk me into voting for him and that other asshole Ryan for the presidency.

never ever again

[bray]

Exactly which is why we are glad we increased the Senate.

[OKITRUMP77]

Could you give an update and where and what you are talking about? Not to be rude, but I just don’t know local news.

[rollo tomasi]

Sorry, (Especially in control of Repubs) should be (Especially since the Senate is in control of the Repubs)

[RedMonqey]

I miss the days when we had southern democrats who could be relied upon to vote with the republicans on important issues.

I miss the days when California, Washington and Oregon would occasionally spit out an republican every once in a while.

Now..zilch.

[I got the rope]

I noticed that too

[DrewsMum]

Morrisey IS a dope.
Manchin really was the more likeable candidate if that’s what you’re looking at and most people are sadly. But Morrisey was awful.

[Fledermaus]

The wall goes up, don’t worry.

Their so called majority will be so small they’ll be impotent.

On an aside, why is Gov. Scott Walker in trouble after so many victories?

[JockoManning]

THANKS. I really don’t think POTUS TRUMP is going to leave the likes of Puhlousey et al walking around stinking & loose that much longer. Shortly after 1 Jan at the latest, as I see it.

[longfellowsmuse]

This is the truth.

[kevao]

So you’re saying that Trump will be impeached in 2019.

[bitt]

***And I think many of those 45? Republicans who retired did so to throw it to the Dems, Paul Ryan included. We would have been good if they’d run again and held their seats.**

I think many of those retiring Reps were given a deal they couldn’t refuse - there’s a lot of chatter about misbehavior that could have caused them to lose their ‘reputation’..

Which reminds me - what’s going on with the release of info about the slush fund that the Congress was using to pay off their various sexual charges?

[laplata]

I hope President Trump will find a place for John James in his administration! Pres. Trump has said James is a rising star! Hoping he will bring that “star” into his team!

><><

I’m with you. James was my favorite candidate and I thought he’d win. But he’s far from being finished and will go far. We need him badly.
