No I never took a course in verifiable methodology and never will after seeing what a failure it can be.I'm a freaking Carpenter being outbid by illegal labor not some intellectual idiot.I am glad I am being listened to finally and can get my jobs back.

I agree...Pelosi and Schumer are offering no form of palatable alternative, just parroting the anti-Trump line which lost Democrats the 2016 election. Tim Ryan was a much better choice, but he lost the House Minority leadership election.

That's 100% correct.

48% of them voted for the Democrat. They are beyond help. Probably the welfare crowd.

Nate Silver & gang need to start factoring in the "Bradley Effect" when polling Trump supporters. It should be obvious GOP voters along with independents & some democrats are not telling the truth about how they are going to vote. They had the pajama boy Ossoff up by 7 points last week. Idiots....they will not face reality

For fun put CNN on now. The sad faces all around. I love it.
Darn, I missed them. I got there in time for his concession speech. You know all those sad faces had their prepared blurbs how this was it, Trump’s days were numbered, the Democrats were storming back and....whoops. Where'd that banana peel come from?

Honestly I'm glad this miserable race is over with. I wonder if there are any adult politicos left in the Democratic party who will understand just what a big flop this was and the dire need to start rebuilding the party from scratch.

Hopefully not.

Even those who do not like the president don't like being told what to do and how to vote by east and left coast elitists.
The recent polls showed them essentially tied, so I don't find the result overly surprising

Dems are run by CA. Until they will have close situation in CA, they are not going to change.

WOW! Unreal. After all the fake polling and money spent by the Dems and their attempt to make this about Trump, they still lost. I guess it's proof positive that they still don't get it.

And just imagine how much more money they'd have to do it with if they hadn't burned through, what, nearly 50 million on a series of special elections for which they're batting a perfect .000
