But democrats need to get out and VOTE in mass.For realz.Democrats: don't mess this up. VOTE!!!!

No purity pony voting against a less than "perfect" candidate for a "perceived" perfect candidate. None are perfect!

No apathy because someone will automatically win and your vote doesn't matter. 2016, Virginia, and Moore-2017 dramatically showed it does matter.

No voting for the no-experience candidate because both are equally bad. They are not equally bad. Beware the false equivalency logical fallacy pushed by the GOTP.

I mean it democrats. Don't mess this up! VOTE in 2018!

We don't have to read the tax plan now, because the orange behemoth told us what's what his own self. It's right up there on whitehouse.gov if you don't believe me!

We didn’t want to bring it up. I told people specifically, be quiet with the fake news media because I don’t want them talking too much about it because I didn’t know how people — but now that it’s approved I can say, the individual mandate on healthcare, where you had to pay not to have insurance — okay think of that one, you paid not to have insurance — the individual mandate has been repealed.

the whole thing gave me a sad, like even the videographer was making fun of him. Somebody's parent should have been paying more attention to his family and less attention to screwing the country.

As reported here yesterday:

A Republican seat flipped Democratic in a wild recount Tuesday – with the Democrat winning by a single vote – creating a rare 50-50 tie between the parties in the House of Delegates and refashioning the political landscape in Richmond.

Democrat Shelly Simonds emerged from the recount as the apparent winner in the 94th District of the House of Delegates, seizing the seat from Republican incumbent David Yancey. A three-judge panel still must certify the results, an event scheduled for Wednesday.

Of the 23,866 votes cast in the Newport News district on Election Day, Yancey held a tenuous lead of just 10 votes going into Tuesday’s recount. […]

The final tally: 11,608 for Simonds to 11,607 for Yancey.

Just heard (on NPR news) that the 1 vote lead Democratic victory has been nullified and the (R) and (D) have exactly equal vote totals. AND the winner will now be determined by something like a random draw!?!?!?!

Democrats: Do. Not. Mess. Up. The 2018. Election.VOTE DANG IT

Still don't understand the turnabout with Collins and Murkowski -- they helped to save the ACA, but now have contributed to its undoing as part of this abomination.As for Corker and Flake -- well, words are pretty, but actions are really all that count.
