Just a heads up: Stock markets worldwide are falling quite much, US Stocks expected to drop too…
Donald will blame it on Obama…
That’s right, jackasses. You just keep being you, and on behalf of the Democratic party, thank you so very much.
Quality Democratic candidates—and a lot of female ones— are coming out in droves.

Exactly right!!
They have no respect for their constituents, treating them like children who can’t grasp “details” or “specifics”. Not all of us are like the President, you know:
"Diaz Balart insisted that voters aren’t concerned with health care policy specifics…
“They don’t care whether it’s Medicaid expansion or whatever. That’s Washington talk,” he said. “When I go home people don’t tell me specifics about a bill, they tell me to solve problems.
These guys aren’t stupid, but they’re running out of arguments. I would probably respect them more if they were up front about their motives - “our constituents – donors – want Obamacare to go away, so we’re going to continue working to make that happen.” Interpreting increased enthusiasm about the ACA as a louder demand that you get rid of it is just… not believable.

Again…‘screw the voters! we do what we WANT!’ It doesn’t matter that 85% of the country think we should have some kind of healthcare in place…these ideological jackholes will INSIST they made a ‘promise’ and that should honored above saving peoples lives.
Trump: People voted against us because we did not repeal ObamaCare. All the more reason to kill it now.

So much assmillinery going on in that piece, but let’s pick on Mario Diaz-Balart for a moment.
Asked about Maine’s resounding endorsement of Medicaid expansion, Diaz Balart insisted that voters aren’t concerned with health care policy specifics.
“They don’t care whether it’s Medicaid expansion or whatever. That’s Washington talk,” he said. “When I go home people don’t tell me specifics about a bill, they tell me to solve problems. People want a health care system that works for them, and if Republicans don’t have answers, they’re going to seek other answers.”
What he’s claiming is that people are too stupid to recognize that they or their family members or people they know depend on Medicaid for their healthcare, and that they won’t care if Medicaid is yanked away as long as some magical “healthcare system that works for them” appears out of the fog of bullshit that he’s peddling. What’s “Washington talk” is to hand wave away existing programs that provide basic quality of life to citizens as if they’re simply political nuance, to be replaced with smoke and mirrors.
Mario Diaz-Balart voted YES earlier this year to grab healthcare coverage away from 25 million people. That’s not Washington talk; that’s simple fact. And you can bet that if Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has anything to say about it, her good friend Mario will not face a credible Democratic opponent in 2018. Fortunately, she doesn’t have anything to say about it.

Ignorant and myopic Republicans are the best (and increasingly only) kind
Tuesday wasn’t just your average pendulum swing. It was special. Lots and lots of little red to blue flips at the local level. Lots and lots of women entering politics as democrats and winning. GOP death by a thousand little local cuts, some of which were VERY sweet. This one for instance is getting huge coverage in PA and NJ. Man, couldn’t have happened to a more deserving sexist racist oinker

Clearly Tuesday demonstrates the failure of Republican candidates to nationalize their races, and commit to Trump’s values and Trump the man. I would like to see them double down on the Trump agenda for the 2018 elections, and see how that works out for them.

Apparently Mark Meadows doesn’t know his history very well:
“I don’t know that Maine normally is a bellwether for the rest of the
country,” he said with a grin. “It never has been. I don’t know that so
Maine goes, so goes the rest of the country.”
That actually was a saying for better than a century:
