Exactly. Add to that the Dems are full of hatred.

Marxism is an ideology based on hatred and envy and revenge, and even the mainstream Dems aren’t far off from it. All you have to do is look at the hysteria and fury that fuels supposedly responsible, respectable Dem politicians such as Pelosi, Schiff, etc., the hatred spewing from media figures, the violent behavior of the lunatic mobs of leftist college students and young people, and the nihilistic violence of the urban “client class,” as we are now seeing in NYC and Chicago.

It’s very scary, but this is the stuff that Bernie is getting in touch with, and I don’t think the Dems are going to reject him at all. Pretty soon they’ll all be full-out, unabashed Marxists, howling for blood.

.. could narrow the party’s already slim hopes of retaking the Senate majority.

Republicans have to defend 23 seats. The RATs only 12. I might add Arizona Governor Ducey did not help by nominating McSally who already lost her first Senate election.

I might add if Republicans lose two seats control of the senate will be in name only because POS Romney and Collins of Maine will effectively become the Senate.

Then, since you live in Arizona, you should devote your time, talent and treasure to ensuring a McSally win!

I trust you WILL do your part?

ya better all dump Schumer, Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, Waters, etc., etc,. etc,....like right now!!!


The President is NATIONAL all others are local.

It does not matter if the rest of the nation “hates” Schumer, Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, Waters and the rest, it only matters that the voters in their district likes them.

The Democrats understand this. They pander to whatever majority is in a particular district. The reason, it is a matter of numbers. Which ever party has the most members rules the House or the Senate.

So someone like Waters can be dumb as a post but the DNC does not care, all she is is a number in the Democrat column and one less number in the Republican column.

The Democrats are not going to get rid of any of them (except perhaps AOC who challenged the status quo.)

It is not the individual members that is the problem for the Democrats, it is their vision for America. Bottom line middle America does not share their vision.

For many years the Democrats were able to hide (with the help of the media) their socialist plans but now it is all out there exposed to the world.

The first step on the road of recovery would be to replace Pelosi as speaker with someone with a little more (people) skill, someone that can hide their left views and appear moderate but is there any Democrat in the House that meets those criteria? I don’t know. For now they are sinking faster then the Titanic after hitting the iceberg Trump.

A little known fact is that the SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE does not have to be a member of the house.

“Donald Trump is going to offer the American people this choice: Do you want to continue building the economy, or do you want to lurch toward socialism? And that is a real powerful argument in the Democratic districts that Trump won in 2016.”

Given what the Dems are going to offer as a nominee, President Trump would be stupid to do otherwise. The Dems are going to have a real problem. Of course they could somehow job Sanders out of the nomination, but that risks him either going third party, which would take voters from the Dem side, or upsetting his supporters so much that they stay home on election day. What to do?

Former astronaut Mark Kelly: "My wife got shot in the face. Elect me Senator!"

Climbing over his invalided wife for political purposes. Shameful.

Mcsally screwed herself in 2018 by refusing to embrace MAGA. Ducey should have appointed someone else

I even checked the web page.

The total vote count is around 7,000.

Are we really, seriously, letting 7000 people determine the democrat candidate for President?

I live in N Nevada. All week long, we were told the early voting count was over 70,000.

Something doesn’t make any sense here.

Yes Astronaut Kelly’s wife got shot by her former campaign volunteer.
Mr. Kelly wants the same thing as Bernie Sanders. Both are gun grabbers, guns for them but not for us. Both want to destroy the fossil fuel industry in favor of heavily subsidized wind turbine farms and solar power schemes.

Arizona has already elected one Democrat Senator - Sinema.

Please tell me they’re not going to elect another one. Arizona is supposed to be a red state after all.

If you were correct, and you are not ...... the country would be sunk.

All you have to do is look at their voting records. Kavanaugh, Impeachment, etc. They all vote in lock step. When the FBI and the Intelligence community is fabricating evidence against a sitting President in tandem with the Democrats, the county is in a lot worst shape then you might want to admit.

Key paragraph:
“Donald Trump is going to offer the American people this choice: Do you want to continue building the economy, or do you want to lurch toward socialism?"

Even that site has the total votes at less than 100k.

There are 330 Million people in the US. Plus illegals. Plus dead voters.

Why do we let less that 100k tell us anything?
