It's no accident that the first issue Quist brings up is public lands. That's something that Montanans care about and one where Republicans are weak. If Quist wins, it will be because he was able to make public lands the central issue of the campaign.

Great results! But I hate lines like this; obviously it's kinda hard for anyone else to get double digits once you account for 85% of the sample!

Democrats need to keep in mind that Tom Price won his district by 23 points.
It will be really tough for Ossof to win.

Who knows where the district lies without incumbent advantage.

Things changed on Nov 8, 2016. There is national hype around Ossoff that is translating to local volunteers in the district. This isn't a typical special election.

[ QUOTE=jtb;233357997]All Trump really needs to do to pull himself out of this is to do what he actually ran on: doing super populist healthcare reform + infrastructure with Dems. Imagine the headlines. Imagine the chyrons. Go full public option/single payer. Sign some free college bill.
People don't care about the racism. That's what they voted for (certainly not the #betterway)! They just don't want this Paul Ryan Ayn Rand-fetish bullshit, and certainly not when it has the veneer of tolerance and inclusivity (reality be damned).
A terrorist attack?[/QUOTE]
You mean our own Reichstaggfire? Not a matter of if, it comes down to when.

So how did it get through without being filibustered?

Because it was done using CRA. It targeted an Obama era rule protecting privacy.

They didn't bother because McConnell has been threatening to nuke it once they do. I believe it passed 50/47 or something like that.
Or what he said. I didn't bother following it too much.
The fuck does he even mean.
Be on guard fam. Same stuff is happening. It's falling apart, oh wait we wanna make it happen, nope it's falling apart, or maybe it's not...
They're doing this dance again.

ISIS: US 'being run by an idiot'
The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) on Tuesday mocked President Trump, saying that the U.S. is "being run by an idiot."
"You [the U.S.] are bankrupt and the signs of your demise are evident to every eye," ISIS spokesman Abi al-Hassan al-Muhajer said in a statement, as reported by Reuters.
Not even surprised they said this.

Nothing to do with nuking the legislative filibuster, McConnell just confirmed he will never do that.
Well.. they're right about the idiot part.
Man, what a world we live in where Jennifer Rubin has become the voice of reason:

Boom!! Nailed it! As we all look for some sort of reason, some thing, it always comes back to this.
As a narcissist, more so than money, they want to be loved and admired and respected and receive adulation for everything they do, and if they don't get it, you're dead meat now and forever. They are always right, no matter how wrong in reality, and won't ever apologize.
Keep this in mind with everything he does, even his twitter meltdowns, as that's just fishing for compliments and adulation from his base, while also tossing new lines out to steer the media's attention again and again.
I'm sorry but I love Don Lemon. Yeah, "the smell of weed in the air, obviously," and all that, but still.
I should know what CRA is, but I'm drawing a blank.
Trump responding to a legit terror attack scares me about as much as the attack itself
It's some obscure procedural move that was used once in like 20 years to pass legislation but now Republicans are using it non-stop to roll back Obama policies.
Ohhhh, that shit. Okay I remember now, thanks.
At least it's good to see that Dems didn't support it.

Seems pretty clear that they're pushing the Susan Rice thing hard so that when real dirt may actually come out from the Trump/Russia investigation extremists, conservatives
can claim the false equivalency bullshit once again and get us locked into this wonderful shit spiral to the bottom.
and the media
Criticizing Obama's response to the last chemical attack was one of like three things Trump got right in his campaign, so of course he reverses himself. :/Not fake:
I love the shade Killer Mike throws at Don Lemon on RTJ3.

He won his district by 23 points, while Trump beat Hillary by 1.5 points
It of course will be tough for Ossoff to win, but we can&should look at more than how a long-time incumbent beat a no-name candidate with minimal Democratic Party support

So, what are the chances that Ossoff gets over 50% and misses the runoff? I hope so, I really like this dude.

Depends entirely how how motivated Democratic voters are and how unmotivated Republican voters are. The latter is more important, I think
I'd say unlikely at this point but anything can happen with House races

I'm more convinced by the day that he's got people pouring over intel looking for shit to do this with instead of what NSA aides should be doing. And yeah, alot of people don't pay attention to what this somewhat-complicated issue is and he knows that.
I guess with pretty much all his major domestic policy plans fizzling out, and the Iran thing leaking, getting into a pointless war with North Korea is all Trump has left.

Trump would be stupid enough to start a pointless war in East Asia.

If Trump does go into pointless long wars, at what point would there be a draft? It isn't unlike Republicans to do unpopular things. Are women allowed to be drafted now?
Bayer was also added to the list. Ads on his show are going to wind up being gun manufacturers and that prepper guy.
edit: full list

And Rubin despises Rice (based on her previous articles). Really tells you how ludicrous this attack is. David Frum was defending her yesterday with the same argument.
The ball is in Trump's court. If she committed a crime, what are you going to do about it? The answer is nothing because she did nothing wrong. Same with the Obama wiretap story. Obama should be going to jail if he personally had Trump wiretapped, right? Any day now...
Maybe John Oliver could make more of those catheter cowboy commercials.
So these advertisers are out of Fox News as a whole or just during his show?
There won't be a draft.
