115th United States Congress

Not really surprised, but still disappointed. This basically means Republicans are going to go down with the ship (because this guy got lower numbers when he ran away from Trump in November). Everyone get ready for the flaming wreckage that will be politics for the next few years.

So do you think he'll get recalled at some point?

**Quicklet** · 2017-05-25 23:32

AFAIK recall is a state level thing in the states that have it. Don't think it applies to congressional seats.

“How old was Noah when he built the ark? 600,” he said. “He wasn’t like, cashing Social Security checks, he wasn’t hanging out, he was working. So, I think we have an obligation to work. The role we have in work may change over time, but the concept of retirement is not biblical.”

And some fools thought there was ever a chance he'd lose.

I can't wait to hear about his trial in 2 years and how he's found not guilty.

Still, a 14 point drop off from Trump's numbers. Considering a majority of MT's voting is early, and his latest scandals could only have minimal impact, I'd say this trending is a good sign for Democrats.

Ah yes, victory in defeat, again.

**Talint** · 2017-05-26 11:01

Democrats would rather win the moral victory than win elections, it's true.

Where did I say anything about "victory"? Edge harder. I said the margins were trending in a decent-looking direction for 2018, despite this loss, which is currently accurate.

If those trends stay the same in more competitive counties, Dems could flip almost triple digit seats. This district is so red which is why DCCC only spent 400k and GOP and PAC donors spent 4 million.

GG spent 5m on his failed governor bid.

This right here tho. Democrats don't have deep enough pockets for loses with better than expected trending. A loss is a loss, with nothing to show for it but...optimism? Eh.

What is this, pragmatic optimism about the Dems?

**Fiye** · 2017-05-26 16:30

In 2018 when repubs will probably outspend 20:1

**archibaldcrane** · 2017-05-26 18:50
