On the special elections I don't get it

[justoffal]

It's obvious that Trump picked Republicans to fill the spots in his administration. Since that's the case I don't understand why the Democrats felt they could instantly replace those spots in a place where a Republican had just been elected.

To find referendum type information on the president I would think they would need to look at the Republican primaries in those States and not the final contest between Republican and Democrat.

Pelosi is not dead yet.

She might be (Pelosi). The rank and file (the handful that still hold elected office) are pretty restless. I don't blame them, as I said a million times yesterday they spent nearly 40 million dollars in Georgia on a guy who could not even vote because he did not live in the district. If I was a Democrat and had ever given money to the DNC I would be @#!#$!#$ pissed off.

It is pure hubris to pretend people are only going to notice what you tell them to notice. They have learned nothing from the Presidential Election and keep running into the same wall. It's why they are now essentially a regional party.

I hope they keep it up but I am not sure they are even that stupid.

They have to keep it up and I'll tell you why and you're going to love this...

See as the voters reject the central democratic Big Tent Policies... ( Black lives matters is breaking away from the dems to become uber-lefty re-segregating kookoo birds for instance ) and they are forced to change their platform piece by piece they will begin to resemble the conservatives more and more...heh heh heh heh heh .....there will be a point during the transition wherein a democratic politician will look and sound like a giant mosquito bathed in mosquito repellent. hahahahah

It will sound something like this ..

WE ( the democrats ) have heard the voice of the people and we agree that you should no longer um vote for um democrats....NO...that's not what I mean! I mean you should no longer vote for what democrats used to be...yeah...that's what I meant to say! We are now becoming more conservative...and therefore you should vote for conservatives....uh...NO!! I mean you should vote for those who are becoming more conservative but aren't really conservatives........

Awww shit...this just isn't coming out right!

The longer this goes on the more I am convinced we are watching what happens when a bunch of old white people figure out that they have been hoisted by their own petards.

Their entire claim to power has been convincing a bunch of minorities that they are their voice by initiating "programs" to help them.. and "embracing them" by giving them nominal positions of power with-in their party.... but the natives have gotten restless and have gotten big heads on account of their affirmative action based ascent to the perceived upper echelons.. all done for show and nothing more.. all full of tokens and empty suits... The problem is - they don't know that its all for show. That no one actually thinks they are smart or competent as they have been told they are.. but the serfs now actually BELIEVE it. And are starting to act like they don't need the masser anymore...

And old whitey.. has NO idea how to get them back on the plantation..... the genie is out of the bottle.. and guess what.. he wants more than lip service about reparations. He wants actual revenge.. revenge he has been told was his due.. by the old whitey who used to lead his party.. revenge he was told was his due in decades of race baiting and which he was told was owed by him for decades of apologists.

Get out the popcorn ladies and gentlemen.. this will be entertaining.

"No one actually thinks" minorities could lead this country in your (Republican and Democratic Parties') class, perhaps. But you're reversing cause and effect. It was actually the grassroots, minority-led fights, against the leadership of the Democratic and (post-Reconstruction) Republican Parties, for the right to vote, that put the Democratic Party in a position of having to partially reflect the interests of minorities in order to remain a viable party.

Devil's advocate. It happened with Republicans back when Ted Kennedy died.Democrats lost Teddy's seat. That was about the time Democrats started losing
