Handel wins in #ga06, CNN projects, winning the most expensive House race ever and calming GOP nerves for now
MSM / DNC / Obama / Perez / Schumer /Peloser / Hollywood have no clue. None. Nada.
This is a good time for Trump to shut down the Mueller Witch Hunt; he’s got the momentum going to accomplish that. There’ll be a load of MSM wailing and gnashing of teeth, but I don’t think it’ll amount to anything.
THESE polls are misleading everyone. They said it was neck and neck. I think they need to give a poll to the pollsters, and they would find out they are all CNN watchers, and LOVE Hillary. They read into their tea leaves what they want US to see.
HuffPo finally put a checkmark next to Handel. You should see the wailing and knashing of teeth on the comments thread over there. It’s like Nov 8 all over again.
Looks like I can go to bed. A big THANKS to everyone on this thread posting results.
Ya, this is now 0 for 5 in special elections, which the media have told us were referendums on Trump. The Trump administration in a disaster, it’s in meltdown mode, what about the Russians, he’s being investigated, firing Comey was a disaster, etc. etc. etc.
And the people were supposedly turning against Trump because of his allegedly disasterous administration. And they would express that by voting Democrat in the special elections.
What happened/?????
MSNBC is calling it.Karen won.
Breathe.....
Bwahahahahahahahaha

Yep, with estimated 85% of votes counted, I am pretty sure she has got this.
At the invitation of king Manuel I of Portugal, Amerigo Vespucci participated as observer in several voyages that explored the east coast of South America between 1499 and 1502. On the first of these voyages he was aboard the ship that discovered that South America extended much further south than previously thought.The expeditions became widely known in Europe after two accounts attributed to Vespucci were published between 1502 and 1504. In 1507, Martin Waldseemüller produced a world map on which he named the new continent America after the feminine Latin version of Vespucci's first name, which is Americus.
CNN calls it -— Handel!
Actually, not a founding document. A law made after the founding.
And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens: Provided, that the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States: Provided also, that no person heretofore proscribed by any States, shall be admitted a citizen as aforesaid, except by an Act of the Legislature of the State in which such person was proscribed.
Don't confuse the plural "citizens" to mean both parents, like the birthers claim. It is simply a multiple to collectively include the citizen parent (father) of any citizen child and all citizen children. There never was a two-citizen-parent requirement. Once women were no longer second class citizens, the requirement that citizenship pass through the father became obsolete. It didn't fully go away until after Obama's birth, however, thus the importance of where he actually was born.
Clearly the Founders considered that some citizens would spend significant time out of the country - we were, after all, a maritime nation and a frontier nation at the same time. They also considered that children would be born to those citizens and themselves spend substantial time out of the country. Thus the requirement of only 14 years of residency, with no mention of place of birth, only status at birth, to wit: citizen at birth - the specifics of which are delegated to Congress in the Constitution, which is a founding document. Fourteen years represents only 40% of the minimum age requirement. And that assumes someone could manage to get elected at 35. For someone the age of Donald Trump that requirement is only 20% of their age.
Birthers make a lot of claims based on wishes and hopes and not much else. A little logic goes a long way to sorting out the truth. Citizen at birth, 35 years old and 14 years a resident. That's it.
