Slow news day? Provocation?
My personal vendetta against pit bulls. I see no reason for them. None.

They terrify me. The only time my Bichon
gets attacked is by pit bulls on leashes.
I saved him once because I saw the PB
break from his owner across the street
and run full out at me. I snatched up
my dog and turned my back and the PB
attacked me and didn't get my dog.

I have zero use for the breed.

‘Blue Wave’ Fizzles as AP Declares Republican Winner of Arizona Special Congressional Election

Shocking..


Fizzles, hell. The reddest district in Arizona, which voted for Trump by 21 points and Romney by 26, elected the Republican by only 5. And that after the DCCC gave up in the race and sent no money.
Money in Arizona special election
Raised

Cash on hand
Outside cash for
Outside cash against
Lesko $564,404 $53,645 $739,587 $47,900

Tipirneni
$734,937 $124,944 $232,282 $536,626


Source:CNBC

The RNCC freaked out after Connor Lamb and sent a bunch to AZ. They couldn't afford to lose the seat or have the perception stand.

If it were up to the locals, looks like the Dem was better supported, but not by all that much.

But looking at cash for + cash against opponent on outside money, 1.27m vs .28m, about 5:1, and they still lost 16 points in only 2 years, in the heart of Joe Arpaio land.

Blue wave is looking pretty tsunami-like from here.

While not unhopeful, events and timing are everything. Neither side has a complete lock on that and you never know what may happen up around election time.

I don't think that's pessimistic, just realistic.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Wait till Trump seals the deal with N Korea
and all Obama's henchmen start
going before grand juries. It will
really be in the bag for the Left then.

LOL

“The Democratic National Committee’s drumbeat of messaging on Trump and his relationship with Russia is wearing thin with Democrats in purple states — particularly in the Midwest, where people on the ground say voters are uninterested and even turned off by the issue. The people that have to win elections are starting to get nervous, they’re not seeing a 'big blue wave' if these national leftist freaks don’t start shutting up."

Arizona was supposed to be a blue
lock and they lost by 6 points. It's
going to be 2016 all over again in
Nov. The polls will all be wrong
again and no blue wave, just a
little blue puddle..
