- Klobuchar/Beto. -- nm - Reagen Nov 7, 07:48
- Military credentials? -- nm - Baron Dresden, Wizard Nov 7, 07:42 1
  - Military credentials haven't seemed to play much role in decades. The Bushes were the last winners with any military experience. Before that, Carter -- nm - TWuG Nov 7, 07:47
- Wouldn't you want the person with higher name recognition as the lead? (Harris/Gillibrand) -- nm - Strongbad Nov 7, 07:41 2
  - If she can win the nomination (I agree, she is one of two ideal candidates), she'll have all the profile she needs by November. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 7, 07:43
  - [deleted]
- Gillibrand's moderate history is *exactly* why she would lose - ty97 Nov 7, 07:40 1
  - [deleted]
- I'd vote for Inanimate Carbon Rod/Sweet Meteor O' Death over Trump. Swift Kick To The Head/Repeated Kicks To The Testicles is also preferable to Trump -- nm - TWuG Nov 7, 07:40 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - I think just about any Dem could win with the right progressive message. But younger is probably preferable. - TWuG Nov 7, 07:46
(not sure how much I buy this but...) Donald Trump Jr. Expecting to Be Indicted by Mueller Soon -- (link) - ty97 Nov 7, 07:33 1
- Well, he *should* be expecting it. -- nm - Spawn Nov 7, 07:36
Can we talk about the local delivery place that charges a 15 cent fee to toast your bagel? -- nm - ty97 Nov 7, 07:32 4
- do they charge that fee if you go to the place and pick up the bagel? -- nm - decline Nov 7, 07:41
- I hope no one lets them get away with that foolery -- nm - Epiphany Nov 7, 07:41
- Is extra toasty 30 cents? -- nm b unrelated -- (pic) - amandroid Nov 7, 07:34 [Attachment] 1
  - toasted, lightly toasted, and double toasted are all $0.15. How is that fair?! -- nm - ty97 Nov 7, 07:43
oh hi -- (link) - ty97 Nov 7, 07:28 10

    - You have a boyfriend - ty97 Nov 7, 07:36
- The best one of these is that Kim Davis lost to a gay man whom she'd denied a marriage license. -- nm - David Nov 7, 07:31 6
  - NO WAY!! BUWHAAAAAAAAAAA -- nm - Epiphany Nov 7, 07:42
  - The guy who beat her won the primary against the guy she denied, but still I love that she is GONE. -- nm - TWuG Nov 7, 07:34 3
    - Do I have that story wrong? I saw a tweet earlier. -- nm - David Nov 7, 07:35 2
      - Here's the story -- (link) - TWuG Nov 7, 07:37 1

I really hate that this needs to be a thing -- (link) - ty97 Nov 7, 07:11
Apparent Texas demo breakdown: Cruz won white men/women by 43/20 and “other” by 8. Beto won black men/women by 76/91 and Hispanic men/women 21/32 -- nm - MDH Nov 7, 07:07 9
- The fascinating thing about Beto is that his coattails helped other candidates a lot. -- nm - David Nov 7, 07:13 8
  - [deleted]
  - And he did it with an unabashed progressive policy campaign. There's been a push to have Dems run to the middle to capture some aspect of the GOP pie. - TWuG Nov 7, 07:30 2
    - Me and fellow Texans talked about that - if he had been a more conservative democrat -he would have won in my opinion. - Epiphany Nov 7, 07:45
    - [deleted]
  - Yes, he helped the wave along. Sadly, he could not surf it. -- nm - Spawn Nov 7, 07:25
  - The best part about Beto was I felt like I was voting for someone instead of against someone else. That always makes me happy, even if they lose. -- nm - Qale Nov 7, 07:25
  - very much it seems. -- nm - Diva Nov 7, 07:24
  - *ding* -- nm - mud Nov 7, 07:23
wait, nunes won?! wtf -- nm - mud Nov 7, 07:01 2

  - This Spring, Devin Nunes is: Rankmember -- nm - Beryllium Nov 7, 07:49
Oh, hey, Heller is losing in Nevada. I like good news in the morning! -- nm - TWuG Nov 7, 06:58 7
- That race was less close than I expected -- nm - ty97 Nov 7, 07:01
- But it looks like the Green Party played spoiler in AZ. Thanks jerks. -- nm - TWuG Nov 7, 06:59 5
  - I'm sort of over that notion. For the most part those people just wouldn't vote if Green wasn't on the ballot - Reagen Nov 7, 07:14 4
    - (also a bunch to come in per CNN) -- nm - Reagen Nov 7, 07:22
    - I strongly disagree - ty97 Nov 7, 07:15 2
      - I've done this several times, specifically for Green candidates - Reagen Nov 7, 07:17 1
        
        Yeah, doesn't work that way here. - ty97 Nov 7, 07:30

- I'd settle for any form of natural causes, including "so dumb he forgot to breath". -- nm - TWuG Nov 7, 06:51 2
  - choking on a McDonald's fry. -- nm - Still the Mayor of Slamtown Nov 7, 06:53 1
    - poetic. -- nm - Andie Nov 7, 06:57
- Well, he does't have a heart.. (NM) - Marlowe Nov 7, 06:51
Wait, WHAT?! - ty97 Nov 7, 06:48 7
- Racists gonna racist. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Nov 7, 06:50 1
  - Meh, I don't accept that in our society. I won't normalize it. -- nm - ty97 Nov 7, 06:52
- I'm surprised this hadn't been discussed here yet. Yes, Georgia went there. -- (link) - Strongbad Nov 7, 06:50 2
  - I hadn't heard of this previously. Just disgusting. -- nm - ty97 Nov 7, 06:52 1
    - It's sad and embarrassing. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 7, 06:53
- I'm not in a position (or country) to criticize other people's campaigns, but wtf.. (NM) - Marlowe Nov 7, 06:49
- o.m.g. -- nm - Andie Nov 7, 06:48
Utah's 4th Congressional district (currently Mia Love) is 68% reporting. Utah, you ain't that big, what's taking so long? -- nm - ty97 Nov 7, 06:46
Destiny 2: I got the Crimson catalyst last night. Dropping orbs like mad now. 598.8. -- nm - Shaun Nov 7, 06:41 2
- Niiice. Did not play long last night. Watched Flash/Rookie from last Tuesday. 598.5. - Spawn Nov 7, 07:25 1
  - It felt bad to shelve the Bygones for the Crimson but it's even better now since it's dropping orbs. -- nm - Shaun Nov 7, 07:33
Donovan on SI losing makes me happy -- nm - ty97 Nov 7, 06:28 10

    - South Brooklyn, especially Bay Ridge, is seeing nice growth and a demographic shift. - Krusty Nov 7, 06:56 2

        Easy commute to the city and some beautiful single family houses with backyards and everything. Lol -- nm - Krusty Nov 7, 07:10

Bye Pete Sessions -- nm - ty97 Nov 7, 06:27 4

  - Paxton. -- nm - Qale Nov 7, 06:43 2
    - Jeebus - I thought his mug shot would have persuaded SOMEONE against him -- nm - Epiphany Nov 7, 06:50 1
      - It was close if that counts. (It doesn’t.) Ironically my cross party vote for Judge Ed Emmitt failed. Straight party Democratic Party probably did it. -- nm - Qale Nov 7, 06:53
Beaker alert: EBGames is having a 4 for $20 today in-store. -- (link) - Shaun Nov 7, 06:25 1

Bruce Irvin: Ian Rapoport says SEA, NE and PIT all tried to sign him but he chose Dan Quinn. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 7, 06:24
Also: I texted more in the lats 7 days than I have in my entire life cumulatively. - prayformojo Nov 7, 06:19
So removing the GOP gerrymander in PA moved 4 seats from red to blue and now PA's house is 50-50 -- nm - decline Nov 7, 06:16 4
- ...and the 6'8" tall, 300 lb, tattooed Mayor of Braddock, John Fetterman is now the Lt. Governor - decline Nov 7, 06:24 2
  - He also live in a renovated car dealership -- (link) - decline Nov 7, 06:28 1

It's this or Bigfoot enthusiast for race of the night. -- (link) - Reagen Nov 7, 06:16 2
- so what happens now to the seat he won? -- nm - amanda Nov 7, 06:22 1
  - One would presume the seat would be held by a rotating selection of Bunnies. -- nm - Ender Nov 7, 06:38
Here's a list of what was wrong with our hotel room on Monday night - prayformojo Nov 7, 06:15 6

Crash will be happy to know the bingo amendment passed G-52 to G-48. -- nm - Baron Dresden, Wizard Nov 7, 06:11 4
- I see what you did there -- nm - prayformojo Nov 7, 06:11 3
  - And one of the judges lost her seat. Someone called Judy Preddy Draper. Haven't found much information on that yet. -- nm - Baron Dresden, Wizard Nov 7, 06:28 2
    - Kinda surprised there wasn't a couple more. I know there was a bit of a push - Still the Mayor of Slamtown Nov 7, 06:31 1
      - OK, P-D recommended against 2 judges, Draper (Holden appointee) was one of them. The other (Peebles) was retained 55-45. -- nm - Baron Dresden, Wizard Nov 7, 06:40
Trump endorses Pelosi for speaker. - Super Daddy Princess Nov 7, 06:10 14
- This isn’t trolling. This is just dumbfuckery. Trolls would be offended by this label. -- nm - Qale Nov 7, 06:44
- Ok, so how do we feel about this? I think I'm kind of against it. Talk me out of this, please. -- nm - Still the Mayor of Slamtown Nov 7, 06:41 8

  - [deleted] 6
    - Drain the swamp? -- nm - Spawn Nov 7, 07:27
    - See? that's what I'm thinking. i like her and I think she's great. But in trump's america, perception is now reality. - Still the Mayor of Slamtown Nov 7, 06:45 4
      - There are plenty of talented folks who could be the Speaker and still get guidance from her behind the scenes. There’s no reason to cling to her. -- nm - Qale Nov 7, 06:49 3
        
        yes. -- nm - Diva Nov 7, 07:22

  - This. All the way back to the R Primaries in 15 with Trump. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 7, 06:42
GA-6: Evidently I jumped the gun a little on Handel losing. Both sides are saying it's too close to call this morning. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 7, 06:09 13
- But, and I ask this in all seriousness, how can we trust any of the results in this election when he controlled it? nm - Still the Mayor of Slamtown Nov 7, 06:35 6
  - For one, I question the definition of control - Strongbad Nov 7, 06:40 5
    - I'm saying that I don't really trust anyone being in charge of an election where they're a candidate. - Still the Mayor of Slamtown Nov 7, 06:43 3
      - To that point, I agree. He's shady boots. I hate that we're going to have a Governor here for the next 8 years (again) that I don't like. - Strongbad Nov 7, 06:48 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        yep -- nm - Still the Mayor of Slamtown Nov 7, 06:52
