    Ha!!! I was just reading about this race. This was the one where she lost narrowly to a guy who was then accused of sexual assault on a 17 year old girl and THEN the guy killed himself and THEN the guy's wife ran for his seat. The same wife who had at some point posted some racist ape thing about Obama not too long ago.

    YEAH WE' VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS..LOL


    Or it could just be a completely normal race and people hate Trump so bad there was an 86 percent or so turnaround....yeah that's it.

    Yep, Republicans are going to win big time in the next election.

    Also, the stock market is going to go up dramatically when Trump's tariffs go into effect.

    It's all wine and roses for the Republicans. Mark my words.

    Trump has become the Democrats best supporter. He endorses a candidate and the other one wins, lol.

    I'd rather have a libertarian businessman than a Democrat or Republican politician.

    Well, that's me. I'm a businessman, so maybe we should elect me. I've got every bit as much relevant experience as the current occupant, and I believe I could do just as good a job.

    I'd be fucking awful, in other words.

    I don't understand why people think that success in business predicts success in government. Nobody says "The next Pope should be a businessman" or "My heart surgeon should be a businessman" or "Great sculpture is most likely to be produced by businessmen".

    Similarly, no business says "For our next CEO, we should hire someone from government, or maybe a surgeon, or an artist. Just as long as they have no experience at all running a company, or even working for one, it'll be great".

    Agree.
    Electing actors as politicians, and hiring actors as NBA gms has worked out much better.

    We are so screwed.
