lectro, can you explain what you like about the current GOP platform and priorities? I know what you don't like about the Dems, but I'm curious what you do support.

The Quinnipiac poll was likely voters. Not sure about the new poll.

I am happy we are not having weekly incidents of police getting ambushed and killed

I am happy with the direction of the economy

I am happy we have a leader who leads instead of running a bs world apology (Fuck You Obama!)

I am happy that the North Korea is hosting the South Korean President instead of Kim
spouting more bluster and rockets across the peninsula

I am happy for Trumps support of MBS in Saudi Arabia — the first movement toward human rights in that country in 40 years.

I am pleased with our relationship with the civilized Israelites

I am happy for the strong stand against the thugs in Tehran

I am glad for Trump’s recognition that every nation respect its borders

I am very happy Trump is taking on the Communists in China. They are without the biggest cheaters on the planet. I am glad I don’t have a waffle shop attendant trying to accommodate their fking needs. The Chinese are the same assholes that they were in T-Square.

I am happy that McCain is dead and his war buddy HRC is headed for the nursing home. Syria would be an all out war if those soulless chicken hawks were in charge

I like a President who speaks for ideas not baseless feelings and gut intuition or who thoroughly nebulous phrases to promote an empty and Dopey-Hope

I like a President who holds agencies accountable and finds the fat and cuts it away

I like a President who lowers my taxes allowing me to keep more of what I earn

...I could on and on. This guy is Worker. He has accomplished more and in the face of the most sore assed Fucking I have ever seen in this life. I am embarrassed for the Dem party which I was raised.

I like a President who is so committed to our Veterans

I like a President who understands the veneration of the Greatest Country this fucking Earth at any Fucking time has ever known or seen.


How’s that for some Juice, yo?

Do the phone polls include cell phones, or are they just land line?

Mostly no..but some do if the lists come from actual sign ups.

Respondents were also asked whether they perceived Cruz and O’Rourke as “traditional” politicians. Among likely voters, 76 percent saw Cruz as traditional, while only 32 percent perceived O’Rourke that way — something that may be to O’Rourke’s advantage in a political climate that leans away from establishment politics, Jackson said.

That's interesting.

Losing the FL-27 race would be one last slap in the face from the Clinton machine.

Paulsen's Deficit Moves MN-03 From Toss up to Lean Democratic

Stylistically, the mild-mannered and neighborly Erik Paulsen is a good fit for this highly college-educated suburban Minneapolis seat. In 2016, he won his fifth term with 57 percent while Hillary Clinton won it 50 percent to 41 percent. But in a stunning turn, he's now trailing badly in polls and on the verge of being abandoned by his party, in part because his votes for the GOP healthcare and tax bills shredded his moderate credentials.

Democrats have a strong nominee in vodka and gelato businessman Dean Phillips, the grandson of advice columnist "Dear Abby" and the great-great-grandson of the founder of the Minneapolis-based Phillips Distilling Company. Despite his personal wealth, he hasn't self-funded and has sought to channel the late populist Sen. Paul Wellstone by driving around in a refurbished 1960s-era International Harvester he calls a "government repair truck."

^^ the guy with the bigfoot ad! (Not the guy with the bigfoot fetish, he's running in VA.)

Going out on a limb, I think lectro really just likes owning the libs.

 

[Louis Gossett Jr]

Yeah Lectro’s life is definitely worse off the last two years but worth it for owning some random people he doesn’t know

I am embarrassed for the Dem party which I was raised.

Took a long way to get there, but we found it. Serious mommy issues.

As of this week his campaign is hiring a bunch more full-time staff. Friend of mine is moving across the country for the job. Doesn't sound like they think he's out.
