- Thread starter Pospecteer

Lol. Watching a R win by 2 in a districtbthag Trump won by 12......no problem there I'm sure.
This reminds me of you guys crowing about winning the special in GA 6.....and then 2018 happened.
Find enjoyment where you can. You're going to lose NC if 3 is close.

I guess you are in a foul place this morning? Did mommy forget to tuck you in last night?
Your right, I should be in a better mood, Happy thoughts for the rest of the day.
lol, statistics not your strong point? A win would have been earth shattering for Democrats but as it is 2% in a State where Donnie won by 12% and the GOP had to outspend Democrats 2 to 1 on a race for a seat they have held since 1963 in a Ruby red district, excellent actually, NC may go Blue before Texas! Demographics my friend, they ain't making old white racists like they used to! ^.4 miilliion? In a district where they should hhave been able to sit home and watch a win while eating bon bons, you can certainly tell who just started following politics closely after Donnie squeaked one out in 2016 on here!
Libs did their best to work everyone into a frenzy about the rampant GOP cheating (from one guy). They still lost. This isn't a good sign for you.
LMAO, old, racist, white boomer Keyser76 is mad because the dems lost another election. HAHHAHAHHAHA
I think perhaps reading and context would help you save face.

Kaiser76, that is how you should spell your name, it's more appropriate. I guess you got your talking points from CNN this morning. They say elections are won and lost at the local level, and this is not different. Here is what we know:
- The district was redrawn prior to 2016, which makes the history of the district a moot point.
- Trump won by 12pts in 2016.
- A Republican won by 900 votes in 2018 and was caught cheating! He did not run again.
- In 2019, the same Democrat who only lost by 900 votes lost by over 4000 this go round. He had name recognition and a "I got cheated" rallying cry to help him out. Did the cheating in 2016 backfire and a wider margin took place or did the voters of the 9th District of NC move back to the republican party?
- CNN and others are trying to paint this a victory.
You might want to research a little better dummy. GOP won district 3 by a huge margin.
Your acting like there is some monumental difference statistically from winning or losing a close election. There isn't. I dont really care if you believe it or not, but this is a really poor showing by Republicans. I guess you can take solice that you will lose House votes by one less, but holding thatvsrat is inconsequential compared to the shift we have seen there for two elections now.
Celebrating this is like celebrating a TD victory over JMU.
The fact is, this is a redrawn district, with more urban voters included prior to the 2016 election. History in District 9 was reset in 2016. Sounds like we are talking about the Hunger games...
Over the last 8 months McGreedy(with a G) outspent Bishop by 8-1, this after running(losing) in the primary...
lol, there is never any reflection on the facts allowed in Donnie brook world for his chosen ones on here, he is the greatest, they are the most...…………………………………………….everything. Anything to the contrary is just fake news including changing demographics, polls to the contrary and his dumbass tweets, however did Democrats ever win a Presidential election before? lol Now they gonna create a dynasty with a boob that has some of the worst approval numbers ever! Why? Because Amurica baby, hate the cites, brown folks and science, elevate the stupid.
We can look at 2016 and with these exact boundaries it was R-12 . And we see little change from the swing we saw in 18, most of which can be attributed to changes in turnout from general to special. It has swung 10 points to D. Tha shoudlt be encouraging when combined with observed changes state to state in Trump approval numbers since inaguration.
Those are Trumps numbers, I guess we will see if a +12 lead will hold up in 2020 for Trump. Congressional seats are local, especially in a special election. The Dim tried to run as a military moderate, his backing was from the far left. I guess his district saw through that.
They have to find better results for all the money they spend on these special elections trying to spark Trump's imminent demise.
It's an expensive lesson they're learning about taking him on man-o-manno.
NC Democratic governor vetoes essentially Republican budget bill due to no expanded Medicaid in the budget. The NC house was the hurdle for an override. The Senate will be a cakewalk.

That district hasn't voted D since the 1960's, when southern democrats were conservative. A narrow 2 pt win here means something.
Of course it does. A +2 R win and a +1 D win are only the difference of a few thousand votes. Had the latter happened it would be talked about as "shocking" "World turned upside down". These results are very close statistically speaking, so that's how we should look at it.
If you say so...Please spend all of your money in NC and leave PA and OH alone. That works for me.
