Before the election, Trump and the GOP proclaimed that Saccone was a true patriot whose election victory was critical for the party’s political agenda, whereas a Lamb victory would be disastrous for America.
And now … they’re suggesting that Lamb actually is a wolfish Trump backer in sheep’s clothing.
So much spin, even Donnie is feeling a bit dizzier than usual.
Seriously. To take the most obvious example, could you imagine giving one red cent to Drumpf?
I don’t know if the Rs would have held the seat, because it was looking unlikely. I don’t understand why Drumpf didn’t wait to fire TRex until today to distract from the Dem win. (Actually asked myself that question yesterday morning, when I heard of the firing but long before the votes were in.) Conclusion: Donnie’s not that smart.
Yeah, well, my health insurance premiums went up $300 a month this year over last year. There’s no way the R tax cut is going to outdo that.
Presumably, Brian was referring to Drumpf, who famously bragged that he’s too smart to pay taxes.
Yeah, but that’s not what Paul Ryan was implying. His dented brain doesn’t do nuance…or thinking.
After Boehner and Ryan they have Speaker envy?
What, pray tell, what is it with the GOP and bad sheep ads? It’s like they are haunted by demons.
The 2019 healthcare premiums, which will be thru the roof, will be released in October. Close enough to the midterms to be top of mind but long enough in advance for people to really understand the implications to them and their families.
As the premium rates have skyrocketed over the past decade or two, it is the rare employer who pays 100% of premium costs for their employees and families.
The woman who told Ryan that she was seeing an extra $1.25 per week in her paycheck is in for a rude awakening!
I’m unwilling to beat a child…
I cringe that they tried to make fun of the name Lamb.
Their candidate has probably been called Suck-On-It his entire life.
Will fix. Thanx.
They still haven’t quite internalized the whole “‘Baaaaa’ means ‘No’!” thing.
Pelosi’s become a talking point, a meme, a buzzword, she’s in the memo Rs send each other on how and whom to attack. It’s not going to work.
Seems to be working with the left and right and timid extremes of the Democratic Party.
It’s so pervasive it’s taken root here too. I suspect she’ll stay until 2020 when she can safely leave because she and we will know the Executive Branch is once again in Democratic hands.
This is from Perry at 538:
perry: Sell. The polling in this district found that most people neither knew nor cared about the anti-Pelosi pledge. There is a fine argument that Democrats need new leaders, but I don’t think this race tells much.
TPM is currently just letting me make one paste per post and showing me the screen before the current screen unless I refresh it.
I think Dems will continue to win previously held R districts, and bashing Pelosi isn’t going to be a sustainable argument. Rs are going to have to eventually run on some policies.
