        I'm not either. -- nm - Reagen May 26, 06:28 8
        
        I think it's a stretch to surmise because this result didn't flip that the needle isn't even moving. - volnelk May 26, 06:32 6

        I definitely hope Republicans continue to believe this for at least 17 more months. -- nm - Reagen May 26, 06:26
      - Yup. It doesn't even matter if they are close. If you can't win it's not showing change. -- nm - MDH May 26, 06:19 3

        This feels like the McDonald's Hot Coffee lawsuit of social arguments. -- nm - Reagen May 26, 07:11
