Trump's Growing Losing Streak

The President’s declaration that the heroin and opioid epidemic is a national health emergency is important. It was also long overdue. We can’t wait any longer while politicians argue about funding for enforcement, treatment and prevention. We need to leave partisan politics out of this and take urgent, comprehensive action to save lives.
"Both of these people, both of these candidates, the Republican and the Democrat, ran as conservatives, ran as pro-gun, pro-life, anti-Nancy Pelosi conservatives, and I think that’s the takeaway you see here," said House Speaker Paul Ryan.
RNC Spokeswoman: Conor Lamb Ran Like a Republican, Will Vote ...

22 hours ago - RNC spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany said Wednesday that Democrat Conor Lamb ran as a Republican in Pennsylvania's 18th congressional district.

Oh no, the RNC spokesman said he ran like a Repub so it must be true! Really!
Here are the facts...
He ran on supporting the current abortion laws and was against further restrictions
He ran against the tax cuts
He ran against repealing ObamaCare
He ran for expanded background checks for gun buyers.
/----/ Rush:
Well, if it was a referendum on Trump’s performance, let it be said that both candidates ran as Trump acolytes, and there’s a reason the Democrats are not throwing gigantic parties today, ’cause their candidate did not win espousing the ideas and the agenda of Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton. This guy was right on the same page as Donald Trump. Conor Lamb ran as a Trump Republican. He’s a Marine veteran, ex-prosecutor — and during the campaign, he claimed to be pro-gun.
He claimed to be for tax cuts. He was even in favor of the tariffs! And he said he thought Pelosi should go! There’s a Democrat in the Senate that this guy sounds an awful lot like, and his name is Joe Manchin, who also talks like a Republican. But sometimes in the Senate when it’s time to vote, he goes with Chuck You Schumer. So we have here a close election. There’s no question Trump had an impact here. Whether you like it or not, Trump had a major impact. But this is not the blowout.
/----/ Here ya go Pumpkin:
What has barely been mentioned over the past few weeks, however, is the fact that Lamb ran as a something of a poster boy for the NRA.
One of Lamb's campaign ads, for example, showed him firing a scary looking assault weapon while the voice over touted his Marine background and said he "still loves to shoot."
After the Parkland school shooting, when Democratic leaders were demanding immediate action on gun bans and stoking rage against Republicans, Lamb came out and said that "new gun laws aren't the answer to preventing more mass shootings like the one at a Florida high school."
He also came out against a proposed ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines.
"I believe we have a pretty good law on the books," Lamb said. - Investors Business daily

Conor Lamb Exposes Dems' Duplicity On Gun Control; Are Student Protestors Paying Attention
9:15 PM ET
Guns: While viciously attacking Republicans for opposing gun control, Democrats are celebrating the victory of gun-loving Conor Lamb in the Pennsylvania special election. What would those student gun control protestors say if they knew about that?
Lamb defeated his Republican opponent Rick Saccone by a handful of votes in a district that went heavily for Donald Trump. It's being heralded as a referendum on Trump and a bellwether for Democrats prospects in the fall midterm elections.
What has barely been mentioned over the past few weeks, however, is the fact that Lamb ran as a something of a poster boy for the NRA.
One of Lamb's campaign ads, for example, showed him firing a scary looking assault weapon while the voice over touted his Marine background and said he "still loves to shoot."
After the Parkland school shooting, when Democratic leaders were demanding immediate action on gun bans and stoking rage against Republicans, Lamb came out and said that "new gun laws aren't the answer to preventing more mass shootings like the one at a Florida high school."
He also came out against a proposed ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines.
"I believe we have a pretty good law on the books," Lamb said.
In effect, Lamb sided with Republicans on what should be done, namely to focus on improving the system of background checks and on mental health issues.
As Vox.com put it, Lamb's pro-gun stance "is putting the Democratic Party in a tricky position."
That's putting it mildly, given the unbelievably hostile way Democrats have described Republican positions on gun control.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi has declared that someone with Lamb's views on guns is nothing more than a "wholly-owned subsidiary of the NRA." Sen. Charles Schumer said at one of the student protests on Wednesday anyone with Lamb's views is in "the viselike grip of the NRA."
According to Sen. Diane Feinstein, Lamb's positions, including his opposition to banning the AR-15, aren't just misguided, they are "dangerously wrong"
Rep. Elizabeth Esty said that the focus on mental health over gun control "shows either a fundamental lack of understanding or incredible unwillingness to face reality." To Sen. Richard Blumenthal, it's just "an excuse for inaction."
By late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel's definition, Lamb is one of those "crazies" on guns.
To liberal activist group MoveOn.org, Lamb's views on guns puts him squarely in the "tiny group of people (who) are holding the rest of our lives hostage. The blood is on their hands."
And by Hollywood liberal director Judd Apatow's standard, Lamb's position on gun control makes him "a dangerous idiot who is too much of a coward to reject the NRA."

Yes, Lamb is a pro gun guy. That one issue does not make him a conservative. It does not make him a Trump zealot.

Obama had eight years of losing with increased poverty, decreased family income, tremendous debt, increased income disparity, millions of illegals flooding across the border, weakened military, disastrous healthcare and a foreign policy that was the laughing stock of the world.

Who gives a shit if some asshole in a foreign country doesn't like America being made great again? I know I don't.
The lunatic was that Obama asshole that was a disaster for this county. The one that not only fucked up the economy and health care but the one that gave away the store to the Commies and to the Muslims.
