    1. Yeah, isn't that great? Now we'll have someone lodged indefinitely in the Senate who will vote against us 100% of the time, instead of only 10%. And the Supreme Court. No big deal, eh?

      You’re ‘priorities’ are massively effed. I hope I never have to share a foxhole with you…

    1. I did too but it didn't last for long. Still, HRC is within a couple of points of Drumpf in the home state of Ted Cruz, Rick Perry, Louie Gohmert, and the Bush family.

  1. OMG, Casper Stockham is wiping the floor with Degette 55% to 41% !!!

    It's all over!

    Maybe the Republican county clerks just got a jump on reporting 🤓

     

        1. that being truthful is important?  That's what did Clinton and Carroll in.  Hillary never seemed to be forthright about her private e-mail server and "deleted" e-mails.  Morgan based her whole campaign on trying to convince voters that Coffman and Trump were one in the same, while news outlets were reporting Coffman was not on board with Trump at all.  Both Democratic candidates lacked credibility and voters rejected them because of that.

  2. Morgan Carroll ran a solid, professional campaign.  If she can't win, then nobody can.  

    Perhaps DeGette could give us a few more precincts next redistributing?!?

    1. Absolutely. Coffman is a liar, an incompetent, a sniveling coward, and completely invincible in that district. Big ups to Carroll and her crew, though. 

      1. Yeah, I give up. If a hapless, transparent, mumbling dimwit like Coffman cannot be dislodged by supposedly rational people in a supposedly swing district, there's simply no hope.

        Get ready in a few years to say hello to either Governor or Senator Beady-Eyed Bird Brain, Colorado! You’re gonna love him!

      2. If you are a constituent of the 6th CD, Genghis, you already know that a majority of the voters, in that congressional district, did not agree with you.

        If you are not a constituent of the 6th CD, who cares what you think?  It wasn't your decision.

        Morgan Carroll clearly did not run a good campaign.  Calling a Marine combat veteran "a sniveling coward" won't win you any friends with active duty military personnel or veterans.

        To paraphase Carroll, from one of her ads, "This gal has got to go!"

          1. Try going into a VFW and making that declaration aloud.

            For being a "veteran," you seem awfully anxious to make sure the Colorado congressional delegation doesn't have one in its ranks.  Trust me, most voters don't share your absurd viewpoint.

              1. Well, actually, I am not Cinamon… but thanks to you all, I have had the chance to meet her. 

                When I started posting here, last August, and got all the grief about backing Mike Coffman, I decided I could spend my time posting, or go out and actually volunteer for the Coffman campaign.  (Retired people have a lot of time on their hands.)  The latter seemed more productive… and subsequently successful.  So while all you Dems were whining here, I was out knocking on doors and making calls in my own congressional district.  My only goal, in all this, was to keep a veteran in the congressional delegation.

                Thanks for the inspiration!

        1. If you are a constituent of the 6th CD, Genghis, you already know that a majority of the voters, in that congressional district, did not agree with you.

          lol What a peculiar statement! What exactly does knowing the outcome of the CD6 election have to do residing in CD6?  You funneh.

          If you are not a constituent of the 6th CD, who cares what you think? 

          You do, cowboy, else you wouldn't be commenting. 

          Calling a Marine combat veteran "a sniveling coward" won't win you any friends with active duty military personnel or veterans.

          Apparently, the active duty military personnel and vets I know are substantially less vacuous and susceptible to impotent grandstanding than the ones you know. In any event, the views "active duty military personnel or veterans" don't change the fact that Li'l Mike is indeed a sniveling coward.

        1. If Democrats think Morgan Carroll ran an "honest" campaign, then they are destined to lose the 6th CD in 2018.  It was a campaign that defied credibility and voters saw through it.  Feel free to use that strategy again next time.

          Coffman and Tipton losers?  They are the ones that got a majority — not plurality — of the votes in their respective congressional districts.

          Looking for a loser from last night?  You need to go no farther than Barack Obama.

    2. "The Denver Post will endorse Hillary Clinton for president, Michael Bennet for Senate and everyone of the incumbent members for the U.S. House.  That will very likely be how voters will go, too." 

      Posted: 2016-08-09 21:39:28 in The Most Transparently Stupid Editorial You’ll Read This Year

      ————————————————————————————————————————-

      Well, what I predicted, last August, proved to be correct, in Colorado, after all.

      Morgan Carroll made a mistake of constantly running ads tying Coffman to Trump, while the local news kept reporting how Coffman was not supporting Trump.  It hurt her credibility with voters.  She was not well known outside of Aurora and did herself a lot of harm denigrating Coffman, who was well known throughout the district.  Trying to pin the blame of the Aurora VA hospital debacle on Coffman ticked off a lot of veterans in the 6th CD, and made people wonder if she understood what was going on with the VA at all.

      Nationally, 2016 was a total repudiation of the the concept of a "third term" for the Obama presidency.  Since 2010, Obama has been the cause of an astounding growth of GOP officeholders in state legislatures, governorships, the U.S. House, and the U.S. Senate.  If the control over the majority of state legislatures holds, over the next two election cycles, Democrats could be in real trouble, when redistricting and reapportionment occurs, after the 2020 census.    

    3. You mean the next round of Democratic gerrymandering?  The current congressional district map was drawn by Democrats, not Republicans, and you still couldn't win the 3rdCD or 6th CD.

    1. I must confess that I did not see this coming.  I did not vote for either Trump or Clinton, but I did not leave that office blank on my ballot either.

  3. Clinton just won Nevada. Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania still too close to call. There are two districts in Maine and Nebraska that might still pull it out for Clinton.

    Fricking nightmare if Trump wins….but we did survive the Bush years. Barely.

    And Sheriff Joe Arpaio got voted out of office.

     

     

      1. Do you imagine that there won't be massive civil unrest if Arpaio (or someone like him) tries to implement his policies nationwide? Do you think that there won't be pushback from Congress? Do you want race war in the streets? I know that your buddies in the alt-right do. You ain't seen nothing yet for governmental dysfunction, baby.

        Plus, when your darling Drumpf faces fraud and racketeering charges (Trump U), federal tax evasion charges, civil sexual harassment suits, etc, he will be such an embarrassment that he will be impeached. Pence will try to push his conservative "Christian" agenda, but he, too, will be stymied.

        Turns out that the founders had it right with this checks and balances notion.

        1. MJ,

          A little bitter this morning?

          The Dem party wants to pay clowns to protest again, like they did at Trump campaign stops again?

          Knock your socks off.

  4. This had to require massive voter suppression in NC, PA, and other states. There are still absentee ballots being counted in Minnesota and Michigan, and Hillary hasn't conceded yet, although of course the Donald claims that she has.

    1. Maybe.  Or maybe it's about a group of folks who are scared, in pain, and angry about it.  Folks who'll cling to the first person who comes along who acts  like they matter.

      There are going to be all sorts of recriminations going around, but one has to wonder if the party that is its namesake hasn't lost touch with the Demos.

      Don't listen?  Get told.

      1. Hey, you're preaching to the choir, Pseu. Bernie Sanders appealed to this same demographic of angry, disenfranchised white folks, but also to millenials and his coalition was only growing. He was outpolling HRC against Trump for most of the election season. And Bernie was my candidate, and, I think, yours.

        But the DNC couldn't stand the idea of electing an "outsider", much less someone who advocated for real significant change. But an outsider, it turns out, is what the American people wanted. So they got the guy who appealed to the worst, rather than the best, in them.

        I have to go to school today and try to reassure my Latino students that Trump isn't going to deport their grandma tomorrow.  And my smug little racist Trumpkins will have to confront the realization that governance is more than mouthing slogans and feeling victimized, and that their candidate won't be able to keep all of his promises to them.

        In better news, my school district did pass a mill levy override, so I may actually get operable windows and a raise next year. To your point, when people actually bothered to talk with and explain things to folks in my beet-red county, the people came through for their children's education.

         

        1. I appreciate your perspective and your attitude – and that you're in the field of education.

          Re: 'slogans' – yes, democracy is hard work.  I wonder how many Trumpkins are willing to put forth what it takes?

          *sigh*

        2. If your Latino students think grandma is going to be deported, it's because that is what YOU, the Democratic Party and the media have been telling them. Child abuse of the first order. A great same on you!

          Bernie Sanders prayed on the uneducated, poor and useful idiots to convince  the takers they have moral supremacy over the makers, you know the 1%, the most hateful of political discourse. I guess you have not heard of Venezuela.

          Your childish name calling and cute little phrases have no impact orther then to confirm your hatred of anyone who strives to succeed and your disgust for America.

      Oh pleeze! 

      "Massive voter suppression?"  That ranks right up there with the "vast right wing conspiracy."

      Yeah, Hillary did call Trump to concede last night.  Tim Kaine delivered her political obituary this morning, and Hillary just conceded publicly.  Give the lady her gift bag and send her back to New York.
