Trump excitement / strategy, proper fear of Pelosi-Schumer-Waters-Feinstein-Schiff control of things, minorities and youth and moderates abandoning the dems ...... feels like a good day coming.
Now just give us arrests and declas tomorrow, and all will be right with the world.
I will be paying close attention to the governor races in GA and FL. Could be telling. I continue to be amazed that Gillum is supposedly ahead in FL.
QuoteNice little wakey wakey:
The Panhandle votes that came in yesterday trimmed the Ds "early vote" lead in FL to just 22,000 (it was 94,000 in 2016 when Trump won by 113,000).
So we are 72,000 ahead of 2016 already.

A couple of points as to why the turnout on the Right Will be unprecedented. Don't doubt me on this, these are the Patriots coming back to life.
Over the decades people have been turned off by the two leftist, leftists party's system, where regardless of whom they vote for is going to be left of center, so they literally refused to participate in the process and enable a leftist takeover.
So you can expect to see an unprecedented turnout, because these people now see that we have an actual POTUS that beholden too no one, neither leftist party has been able to influence him, especially not with money.
These people that sat out elections are Patriots, just like trump is and for the first time in many years they are motivated to actually support a candidate.
Add to that, Sessions is making sure voting is above board across the US and is beefing up security to ward off rioting when the left inevitably lose due to purging illegal voting, resulting in a lower than normal turnout on the left, that, and the fact that even libs hate the candidates the Dim party put forward.

If Gillum and/or Abrams lose prepare for the democrats to start playing the racism charge.

I can picture that, Dims herded onto the tracks as the Trump train comes barreling down the tracks, bright light hitting the eyes of unsuspecting Dims.
But this is what happens when their leadership collapses, they get a herd mentality and no one thinks, they just stare at the light getting closer and closer.....

I live in the 6th district and I'm an unaffiliated voter. :thumbup:
I have hope that the unaffiliated voter is what is going to make the difference. I believe that anyone that is still registered as a Dem can only vote for Dem candidates because that party has gone far far left. The people in The republican party are going to vote party but some may not be that enthused to vote. I think there a a number who prefer the pre-Trump days.
I am a recovering Dem who left about 10 years ago and could not move to the Republican party because I think they have some issues that I think are problems that I do not want to be associated with. That being said they are the party I mostly vote for because there is no way I can support a democrat. There may be some exceptions but they are few and far between. I would like to vote Libertarian or Constitutional party but the candidates I've seen so far are either weak or a vote for them would mean the Dem might win.
So I think a big majority of unaffiliated voters will vote on the Republican side. Especially after Trump because he actually takes action instead of just talking about it and then backing out if there is any resistance. So much they should have done in these last two years that would have made this election a certain Red tidal wave but they just cannot get their act together.
So hope the house and Senate stay with the Republicans because I think that Trump will push them to start acting and move on his agenda. We will see but if Dem's get the house it is going to be a disgusting 2 years.
so ...... has anybody scored an own-goal triple-double with their football bat, yet ?

I can't wait to see the LSM trying to explain away why libs want to riot after receiving such a bloody beating.
There's never an excuse to riot when you lose, but the LSM will attempt to justify leftist bad behavior taking place in corrupt Dim lead strongholds because they're angry at Trump.

I totally agree about GA. I still can't figure out how Gillum is close in FL. I understand overwhelming Black vote for him, but how can all the folks who moved to FL because of the tax situation vote for Gillum.
I said this somewhere else, but can't find the post, but it appears I'm not alone in my belief.

It could be there's something about DeSantis that doesn't connect with people... that's always an X factor.

Cruz +34,000 now. House is going dem. 3 rep losses in VA alone
Cruz +100,000. It looks now like Trump will be impeached.
reps lost 3 house seats in VA alone. Will be an intersting 2 years or until the senate votes to convict

Which will guarantee his reelection in 2020. The house democrats will make fools of themselves and Trump will take advantage of the situation.
I voted yesterday (Nov 6) and watched the "TBN News all last night.
I came to a conclusion late last night; you see, I once helped create a political party in CT in 1992 (spent two years doing it {Concerned Citizens of Connecticut} without $).
My belief:
(nothing for frustrated)
Well, I voted this morning; I noticed quite a few Democrats were there were NO republican contenders; AND many other precincts had no contenders; Hey America, they ALL pay well. School administrations, and many other seats are not being contested.
There are so many people complaining about American politics; yet so many people won't get involved. People complain about our school systems; what it taught; children's dress codes; American History; Geography was dropped in favor of Social Studies, we; our children don't need social stuff; they need to be taught. A few years ago a "new math" was being taught, what is wrong with our old math?
Americans have become lazy; "if you cannot do something right now they quit".
I saw on the Nightly News tonight that there are an extremely lot of uncontested races (Political Races) .
Americans are allowing our nation (created by) GOD to be undermined from the inside.
WHO will come to America's defense?
Welcome to the forum. We are now going to see the difference between republican investigations and democrat investigations.
So many great slap downs. McCasket, Beano, Gilliam, Enema, Bredesen, Karl Marx Dean, Nelson, Abrams.
It would have been fun to see the dems scream for losing the house, but I think it will be even funnier to watch what they do with it.
First, there will be cage match where the old guard Alzheimer's brigade demands all the chairmanships. I don't think that will go well.
Then it will be quite the shit show when they spend all their time doing nothing but their Trump hate.
This will be more useful to Trump in 2020 than if we had won the house. Still Have a great senate majority for Ginsburg's replacement. Have the veto pen. Have the prosecutions of 1001 criminals. All is well.
You've GOT TO go read D U. They're all screaming about leaving their state, refusing to go to Thanksgiving because their kin voted for racists, moaning that everybody in TN is going to hell, how they can't believe how evil America is. What a collection of punks, pukes, and pussies. But it's a great, hilarious treat to read their drivel !!
Trump was masterful yet again. Knew that he couldn't avoid the standard drop off in the house (which is still minor compared to Obama / Clinton losses), and he concentrated on big wins in the senate, and thumping all of the dems shiny new heroes. Can't stop the winning, it just rolls right along.
Hi! I'm new here, getting some consolation and even chuckles, and hope for the future from reading some of your posts. Laughed out loud at the two questions I had to answer to register! :lol: Do you have to answer questions before every post?
What is DU? I try to read stuff by .. er .. "the other side," but it's really discouraging to see all the outright lies.
I'm looking for encouraging things to read and practical suggestions for helping preserve the American dream. Discouraged by so many votes for substanceless candidates and even millions of people voting against their self interest.

Such a grim outlook to say that the state needs to collapse before something will change but it's one that I've been coming to accept more and more here in CT.

Democratic Underground is a website / message board that the most insane, childish leftists flock to. It's completely sanitized of all beiefs except the most severe of leftism. If you join up up and express anything but their collective outrage, you will be bounced in a day or two.
They seem to all be either teenage or 70 year old liberals, who are just totally disconnected with the world around them, acting out only what's in the diseased brains. They continually talk about disowning their ancient parents or siblings who disagree with their politics. Sort of like people who've been on the outside, not allowed into society, for their whole lives.
I know we're not supposed to laugh at people with serious problems, but you get a pass when you do. Anybody who jumps right into any scam, fraud, and hate that exists for the destruction of America ..... oh well, you don't get a pass for being pathetic.

If Tester "just won", the guy who had him beat last night should be the first one on line for his re-count.
Watch as the GOP guys are above it all and don't bother, and every dem who can possibly whine their way into it, gets their recount. And we'll need an army of lawyers staring at every bean counter to make sure they don't have the "just discovered ballots" in their car trunks.

Yep, they will find "lost boxes of ballots" in this one too, if the GOP mopes around giving them time and space to do it.
