Wow, Republicans expanded their majority in the House last night

Yup, Republicans actually expanded their lead in the House to 240. Meanwhile the Dems are in a frenzy because they won a governorship in a state that voted overwhelmingly Blue in the 2016 elections. Whoop de doo!

We are talking about the bluest state in Utah. Hardly unexpected. They did not expand anything since a Republican won a Republican held seat. If you look at what happened in Virginia, the Democrats won 6 of the 11 Congressional districts.

No, they did not because no one was running for Congress you mental midget!

Northram did win those Congressional districts you idiot. The 2nd district looks like the best pickup opportunity while the 7th is within striking distance. None of the Democrat seats seem to be in play. Also worth noting that Northram did better than Clinton in every CD.

If you are not having a Congressional race, what difference does it make? All you have is someone creating an artificial assumption of how people would vote IF there had been a Congressional race, but devoid of actual candidates, it means about as much as the difference in your IQ and room tem! Nothing at all!
 
And Democrats retained a governorship in commie government fascist Blue VA. What's all the hype about?
We won a governorship in New Jersey.

That and it seems VA has permanently become a blue state. Good news all around :thup:
NJ is predominately Blue, and the previous governor had a 16% approval rating. what next will the Democrat hype be equivalent to the moon landing, wins in California?

On the other hand this serves as a good warning shot to the republicans to get their act together and stop this internal bickering.

There are several reasons for this being a big deal. Gillespie got 100.000 more votes than Cuccinelli did 4 years ago. However the Democrats got 330,000 votes than the current Democrat Governor did 4 years ago. Also Democrats have picked up at least 15 House seats which was not expected. Also the Democrat did better than Clinton among blacks and women.

It should serve a warning to Republicans. The things they are trying to do are not what voters want. 39% of voters voted on the basis of healthcare and Democrats got 77% Only 15% and 12% voted on the basis of taxes and immigration and they voted heavily for Gillespie. Yet Republicans are bent on destroying Obamacare when voters want it fixed not repealed. Also they see taxes and immigration as their issues when most people don't.

Virginia only has 11 House seats in Congress.

If you meant Virginia House of Delegates, then they are Delegates.

Oh shut up you moron. I assume people are smart enough to figure it out.

You should never assume. Remember, there are other liberals just like you on here that could not pour piss out of their boot if the instructions were written on the heel!

It means quite a bit. It tells us that 5 seats are safely in GOP hands and 4 safely in Democrat hands. The 2nd district will be a battleground and the 7th could be hard fought. It gives us clues into what voters may be thinking. It suggests that healthcare may be a major issue. and taxes and immigration may not. We are largely talking about House seats in blue and swing states.

No. It does not. You are trying to extrapolate data from an off-year election to the midterms. All you have is assumptions and we all knew Hillary was going to win and the lib media told us for a year and a half that Trump could not win. Well, what happened?
 
How the hell can anyone come here to brag about the house having a effin majority, when you have the house, the senate and the co co nest and still you miserable bastards can't get shit done....but pass crap that 89% of the country don't want, like or need? but these mindless poor white trashed Gerrymandered bitches, who are too gotdamned stupid to see past GOP bullshit!!
What are you ooking and eeking about now?

They didn't expand their lead. Chaffetz was a Republican.

And I loved it when after the C Grabbing he said there was no way he could support don the con because he had daughters.
Such high principles
 
The way they Dems are behaving having won in a predominately blue state filled with government workers, you'd think they won the House, Senate and the Presidency last night. :lmao:

They persist in lying to themselves in order to feel good about the Identity Politics system that now controls the party.

The Northrum ad against Gillespie that labels all his supporters as racists who want to mow down minority children with a truck is just way over the top and has been denounced all over the country.



But not for blue dog Virginian Democrats.

Republicans have become the politics of hate.

Look at how many Alt right posters that show the confederate flag.

Same old same old Democratic divide and conquer tactics. Accuse the other side of things Dems are more guilty of.

So you're bragging about races to fill the spots that are open because of Trump executive branch picks?
Repubs aren't the ones bragging about a Dem governor that ran as a lieutenant governor to another Dem governor, in a state that is now considered blue, Dems are.

It's really a sad state when Dems make a virtual shoe-in look like they just won the Superbowl. Shows how badly they've gotten their arses kicked in the past few years.

Great,more for me and my millionaire friends.
Also we get to kick more uneducated rubes out of their medical insurance
The naive and uneducated that the Dems fooled, fell for the "affordability" of the Obamacare disaster and "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor". LOL

Maybe you prefer the witch with the cigar shoving BJ in the Oval Office husband who gets million dollar donations from producers who raped and assaulted hundreds of women?

Glass ceiling my ass.

Bitch, if it wasn't for gerrymandered districts you cowards have to have in order get fuckin votes, you bitches couldn't win shit...so don't be hating on the dem's, you bastards can't do shit without cheating

Ha ha ha. Spoken like a true Leftwing nutjob. Does the name ACORN ring a bell? How about Dona Brazil and Hillary's nomination rigging and then colluding with the Russians to rig the elections? Sad part is despite all that crookedness you didn't win. You shameless Dems haven't held an honest election in decades. There's always some horrific stink that comes out afterwards.
ACORN? You think ACORN is equivalent to Republican gerrymandering?

You are confused on the Russian thong. The Clinton campaign hired a opposition research firm who investigated Trumnp's activities in Russia. Trump's campaign had several secret meetings with Russian government officials & then lied about it.
LOL. The Clinton campaign is calling treason and collusion "opposition research" and parrots like you just repeat their lies and deceptions.

Whereas Trump never did anything remotely close to what Hillary and the Dems did. Face it.

:lol:

A special election to replace a Republican, won by a Republican, does not "expand" the Republican majority in the House.

And if you're going to whine that Democrats are making too big of a deal about winning Virginia (which has a Cook PVI of D+1), shouldn't that same thing apply to Utah's 3rd Congressional District, which has a Cook PVI of R+25?
So the republicans won five out of five House seats and didn't make a big deal, but replacing a shoe-in Democrat governor with another Democrat governor is equivalent to the Moon Landing? LOL

Well, first of all, Republicans won 5 out of 6 House seats in special elections in the last year - I know you guys like to ignore the California 34th, but let's stay in the realm of reality.

All of those special elections were in very safe districts, and in all cases (aside from the California 34th), the Republicans had significantly more of a challenge that would be considered "normal" for the district.

On the other hand, Virginia is not such a "blue" state, as you claim - or at least it wasn't prior to last week. With a Cook PVI of D+1, it leans blue - but significant parts of the state are deep red, and it has gone back and forth over the last few years.

More important than the governor's race in Virginia, it is important to recognize that the Democrats in the Virginia House of Delegates gained at least 15 seats at this point, and may be poised to take control of the chamber after the recounts are done. Those are "gains" - not a new Republican taking over for another Republican.

But that's the whole point. Dems won in places where they were already a shoo-in. Somehow it's a referendum on trump but the repub wins are ignored.
You're supporting Pravda.

Except that's just not true. The Virginia governors race was competitive, particularly in the last few weeks prior to the election.

In addition, it's hard to claim that Democrats were "shoo-ins" in the 15 Republican seats in the Virginia House of Delegates that they flipped - including quite a few seats that had been Republican for decades.

Due to the demographics, such as increase in govt workers (thanks to Hussein Obama) and a huge influx of Latinos and minorities, Virginia has become a solid blue state. It was actually a surprise that the race became "competitive". And now we find out that it never was. Perhaps Trump was right, Gillespie wasn't the right guy to pull it off.

Like all other blue states, it's only a matter of time that their House is dominated by Dems, no surprises here either. Bottom line is this is hardly a national referendum, just another blue state turning even more blue. Whoop de doo.

You just make up shit as you go along, don'tcha?

"Due to the demographics, such as increase in govt workers (thanks to Hussein Obama)"

... in reality, only 31,000 additional federal employees were added during Obama's 8 years in office; and you have no idea how many of them moved to Virginia.

Trumpturd

You mean a republic pol won in Utah to replace a republic pol is a gain?

Only in fake news land.
Libtard say what? Dems have lost 4 out of 4 House seats, including the one last night, and yet they're excited about winning in Leftie state? Ha ha ha.


Don't get so butt hurt conservative. Special elections in Mormon Utah are always competitive right?
Actually, so far out of five House races republicans have won all five. And before each of those races the Dems and the fake media cited their fake polls, and told us they're going to win and that it will be all about Trump. Until they lost. We didn't see the republicans behave like they just won the Super Bowl and hurl nasty insults at the other other side, unlike the classless phony Dems.


Classless is a president who never moves on from his election. A one year anniversary picture? Are you Fucking serious? When has any other president in our nations history celebrated this instead of actually BEING president?

Hey, my advise would be to ignore the election results and continue on the idiot path with trump. Please continue on and get even more impervious to facts and reason....because normal (read not trumpers of lower education) voters love a fact less reason less president.
 
Does expanding the lead in the house matter? Not really - they have a virtual lock in the house and have enough on board to get anything that they really want to get passed done. The governorship was more important but also much harder to hold onto.
How does a governorship actually help Democrats nationally?


Redistricting after the state elections in 2020. Republic pol gerrymandering will be undone.
