Democrat Wins California Special Election for Congress

[usmbguest5318]

~70% of the turnout in the one in Montana voted before the candidate's deplorable character became unequivocally clear.

We love our "deplorables." He would have won by a bigger margin if we knew how he really felt about pajama boy "journalists"

Well, we'll never really know whether that is indeed the case. The man won 50.2% percent of the vote. That does not suggest he'd have won at all but for the 70% of voters who'd cast their ballots prior to his contretemps.

A Democratic candidate just won a special election in California for a congressional seat.

Jimmy Gomez wins Los Angeles congressional election to replace Xavier Becerra

It's not a surprise that a Democrat won, being two Democrats were running. Jungle primaries (all primary candidates run on the same slate, and the two top vote-getters move on) can lead to such results.

Yes, it was a safe blue district.

However, after the Montana special election in a safe red district, the Republicans on this forum were unanimously declaring that such things don't matter, and a Republican win in a safe red district there meant the Democrats were doomed.

Montana House Seat...The Right just keeps on winning

So, by their own snowflake standards, the Republicans have admitted that this latest Democrat win means the Republicans are doomed.

(I love hoisting the kooks with their own petards.)

I don't remember anyone thinking a conservative had a chance there. Unlike what the left was claiming in the other elections.

Let go of the petard, you're choking yourself.

lol but a Republican barely winning in Montana made you people come in your pants.

Why is it that even when Democrats win, they still seem pissed off...

Really scraping crap out of the bottom of an old pickle barrel here. The news is -- don't EVER allow a power mad party to capture the political process and pass onerous "Top 2" rules for primaries that GUARANTEE a good old fashioned 60's Soviet one party system.

So the Repubs offer 4 candidates and the Dems BULLY any more than 2 off the primary ballot -- what do you THINK happens? Disenfranching 42% of the electorate out of even HAVING an opposition candidate on the General Election Ballot.

Disenfranchising is getting to be a HallMark of DNC politics.. What with SuperDuper Delegates worth 70,000 regular citizen votes, Top 2 Primary slicing and dicing, and not running any candidates in losing districts -- they got the franchise on Soviet -- pretty much locked up...

This is awesome news! Go democrats.

This is completely predictable news.

You gave the left a woodie by saying they had a Soviet style election process.

Montana went GOP even though he tackled a reporter.

And Calif went DEM.

Tie.

You guys need a win where you can find one.

You must feel like the last living cell in a dead body!

The last limb of an unborn child being sucked out by a vacuum tube from its mothers womb.

Holy shit! Kinda crazy how their policies come to fruition!

Republicans celebrate by body slamming already born people.

You're not making any sense. If the Democrats had enough votes to take the two top spots in the primaries, they would have easily won the general. And the voters had a choice between parties, in the primaries. But then, you're just out to vomit sick hatred at Democrats, not to make sense.

Brooking studied jungle primaries.

As the table below shows, over 80% of the primary outcomes maintain ‘Democrat versus Republican’ contests for the general election. However, of the exceptions, all five of the ‘Democrat versus Democrat’ races are in “solid Democrat” districts, according to The Cook Political Report, and all three ‘Republican versus Republican’ races are in “solid Republican” districts.

Why weren't you screaming deranged nonsense about how those Republican vs. Republican matchups revealed a power mad Stalinist Republican party? You'd look less hypocritical now if you had done so, less like a corrupt Republican party shill.

You totally miss the "strategy" here for the Top 2 scam-ola. Repubs put 6 candidates on the Primary ballot because that party is basically stupid and allows THEIR vote to split 6 ways. But Repub voters WANT max choice in a primary and the Dem party is EXCELLENT in their Soviet style of dissuading candidate choice. (Look at the last Prez primary for proof).. So parties that offer CHOICE in candidates are punished.

And it THEIR ******* PRIMARY. Not a "people's primary". So even if parties choose to nominate by convention or caucus (like the Libertarians for instance) -- they STILL would be excluded from the General.

Not only does this guarantee the Majority party SOLE POSSESSION of a general election, but it EXCLUDES ANY OTHER INDIE or 3rd PARTY CHOICES from the General Election. Wanna take a poll on how many people (outside of the Borg community in Cali) would call a ballot with ONE PARTY on it "UnAmerican"???

I PERSONALLY FOUGHT this proposal in Cali for YEARS with the LParty. It was always a top priority. They tried it SEVERAL times and we defeated it. It's a NIGHTMARE for political choice. And I was shocked to see the Politburo finally succeed in KILLING voter choice a few years ago. So glad I bailed.

Of course you don't get it. You're all signed up for any voter disenfranchisement that it takes to WIN and hold power.

Two mexican democrats were running for the same seat. A mexican democrat won.

People in Los Angeles don't vote. I'll bet the turn out was less than 15%

It is way too early to tell.
