In all four recent elections, Pubs have had to fight like hell to get a narrow win.

It's like they're already tired of winning.

OldG, your schtick is stale. You need some new material

They say "History repeats itself."
So, if that is true, one only needs to look at November/December 2016 to see what the democrats will do in November/December 2018.
IF history repeats itself, it won't be pretty...

It's like the Democrats still don't know why they're losing after Hillary.

They need to do less:

-RESIST!
-DUMP TRUMP!
-RUSSIA!
-If you disagree with me, you're racist/sexist.
-White males are bad.
-I hate Christians, they're rednecks, but we love Islam!
-We'll win this election by pouring millions of dollars into it and getting rich celebrities to tell us who to vote for!

And they need to do more:

-Let's come back in the center.
-Here's some policies that'll make things better
-Everyone is equal and matters.
-Look, we actually have a message, other than "VOTE 4 ME CUZ IM A WOMAN!" or "VOTE 4 ME CUZ IM BLACK"

How can you possibly say it looks like we're heading in the direction? Based on what? A few special elections, which happened only half a year after the presidential election? Exactly how much do you think trends change in a matter of a few months? In a years time, things might be more different.

Bare in mind, in one of those special elections, the loss was by a margin of 4% which isn't very much. That wouldn't be that hard to flip, big picture.

No, it won't matter, and hasn't mattered.

The fact that Trump won, is still beyond belief....and they will take this made up story of the Russian interference with the election to dooms day, and they still refuse to listen.

I'm not at all pleased with Trumps demeanor, but I am pleased with what he is trying to do....and you'd think American's had sent a sound message by voting for him, especially when PA won his vote, but, they won't. they always have an excuse....

and btw, the Russians don't care who wins....never have, never will.

Years ago, when I was a kid, they said the Russians were going to bomb us....later to find out, the Russians never had that kind of money to buy the sophisticated weapons needed to take over our country.

Karen Handel spent a LOT more money than Ossof. 2.5 percent more.
