"Since neither Hillary or Chelsea are running for office, Ossoff's thin loss in a 40-year GOP district means we have to scapegoat Pelosi."

(14,115 posts)This is a double digits GOP district. If yhe Yankees win, no big deal. If the Mets win, upset of the century. The Yankees won 5-4 with a lucky run in the 9th. Take away; the Mets are better than anyone thought.

(7,178 posts)What I take from yesterday's election results is that Republicans are struggling under Trump and Democrats are energized!

(58,724 posts)As a candidate, Handel was abysmal. She literally said that she does not support a living wage. She has retrograde views on social issues. She was running against a reasonable, personable, smart, middle of the road Democratic candidate who had national attention and high profile supporters.
Take away: Even a good Democratic candidate with tons of money can't beat a weak Republican candidate tied to an unpopular president in this district.

(14,115 posts)It is currently virtually unwinnable

(58,724 posts)Winning the district was certainly going to be an uphill climb for any Democratic candidate.

(31,896 posts)I don't like these attacks on the Minority leader from our side.
Go after the Republicans, The Greens, The Democratic Socialists, The Conservatives, the Libertarians . . . If you attack Pelosi like Neat or Hannity are cheering you on - you aware against the party.

(7,178 posts)Is it meant to sabotage DEMS? Like you said Neat or Hannity eating that sh*t up! Mind boggling.

(2,753 posts)it's time for a massive change. Managers of losing teams get fired eventually. We can either change course or keep asking why we lost on Wednesday morning in 2 years and 4 years.

(2,753 posts)should I go on?
George II
(67,782 posts)So how is it that Democrats hold 194 seats in the House?
Yes, go on.
liskddksil
(2,753 posts)we need to make drastic changes to prevent more disappointing election nights in 2018 and 2020.
George II
(67,782 posts)...also what do you consider competitive elections?
All these buzz words.
NCTraveler
(30,481 posts)Very transparent statement.
liskddksil
(2,753 posts)Since 2012 we've lost the Senate, even more House Seats, more Governor-ships, more State Legislatures. We need to make drastic changes and keeping the same leaders is not going to cut it anymore. You might as well open the 2018 and 2020 post-mortem discussion boards now, if we're not going to course-correct.
NCTraveler
(30,481 posts)It's why you are now drastically changing it.
My comment was to your original and very transparent claim. Something you have clearly decided to not back up.
liskddksil
(2,753 posts)I don't think anyone would say we have and that needs to change.
NCTraveler
(30,481 posts)Again, you have completely moved away from your original comment I was responding to. Completely different now.

(67,782 posts)In 2012 the Democrats had 191 seats
In 2014 that number went down to 188 (a loss of three)
In 2016 that number went up to 194 - even HIGHER than 2012. So how is it that since 2012 we've lost "even more House seats"?
