[msongs]

2. not until the final votes are counted. its just AP's opinion now nt

[frazzled]

18. Rouda is up 4 percentage points now, 52 to 48

And the more outstanding ballots that are counted the higher he goes. It was pretty clear he won on election night. They’ll count all the votes, but it’s clear the Democrat has won this election.

KIEV, Ukraine — A month before Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination, one of his closest allies in Congress — House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy — made a politically explosive assertion in a private conversation on Capitol Hill with his fellow GOP leaders: that Trump could be the beneficiary of payments from Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, according to a recording of the June 15, 2016, exchange, which was listened to and verified by The Washington Post. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is a Californian Republican known in Congress as a fervent defender of Putin and Russia.

House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) immediately interjected, stopping the conversation from further exploring McCarthy’s assertion, and swore the Republicans present to secrecy.

[Kind of Blue]

14. Got to thank filthy rich Democrats for helping out

our first-time, self-funded candidates who didn't have a chance

[spooky3]

25. Tom Steyer gave a lot of money and time to GOTV,

especially among millennials. I agree with you. It made a big difference.

[StevieM]

30. Tom Steyer is going to be a great president. I look forward to voting for him in the 2020 primaries

and general election.

[Sunlei]

50. yes, like those who gave money & TIME to "Progressive Turnout project"

https://www.turnoutpac.org/

(checkout the 'shop' link to see those "filthy rich Democrats" names


really though it was the millennials , and other grassroots groups who called, foot worked and VOTED. They helped bring these candidates the wins.

[Kind of Blue]

53. Good grief. I have millennial daughters and nieces

who canvassed, middle aged folks like me and my sisters who phone banked and canvassed as well as drove the elderly to the polls who weren't interested in mail-in ballots, like my husband. So you're not telling me anything.

It pleases me to give thanks to people who I did not expect cared enough to overlook look their personal gain to donate huge chunks of their wealth that was definitely needed for their campaigns.

Thank you filthy rich Democrats for stepping up!

[Sunlei]

54. Thank them for me. Thank you Oprah & Obama for organizing the new PAC

you'all made a difference

[Kind of Blue]

55. I'm not your errand girl. Thank them yourself.

[Sunlei]

56. I meant thank YOUR relatives- you mentioned in your post.

Happy Sunday!

[Kind of Blue]

57. You're welcome.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

15. Woo Hoo!!!

[Takket]

16. another drumpf humper has destroyed his political career for drumpf

for the life of me i can't understand WHAT it is about drumpf that makes these people willing to lay down the careers and ever their freedom to kiss drumpf's ass, when drumpf leaves them all behind to die.

[erronis]

20. He, and all of those losers, can try to be insect exterminators. They should know the species.

... for 30 years, his southern California constituents have .. dubbed him “crazy Dana”.

He’s a guy who, in the days of the Soviet Union, signed up for a week to fight alongside the mujahideen in Afghanistan. A guy who, in the early 1990s, got into a drunken arm-wrestling match with a young Vladimir Putin. Putin “put me down in a millisecond”, Rohrabacher recalled years later. “His muscles are just unbelievable.”

He’s notorious for making an ill-advised link between “dinosaur flatulence” and global warming; for his open disdain of homosexuals and undocumented immigrants; for welcoming a notorious Holocaust denier to Washington; and for thinking that the Oklahoma City bombing – widely regarded as a conspiracy of homegrown far-right radicals – was an Islamist plot cooked up by Middle Eastern radicals in the Philippines.

... After 15 terms on Capitol Hill, though, he is almost certainly about to be an ex-congressman ...

He defended Russia’s incursion into Georgia in 2008 and the annexation of Crimea in 2014. He has consistently pushed back against sanctions and lobbied to repeal the 2012 Magnitsky Act, which imposed penalties on Russian oligarchs accused of corruption and human rights abuses.So accommodating has Rohrabacher been of Russian military aggression and policy interests that as early as 2012 the FBI warned him the Kremlin was seeking to cultivate him as an intelligence asset and had even assigned him a code name. Ed Royce, then chair of the House foreign relations committee, was alarmed enough to curtail Rohrabacher’s powers as head of the subcommittee dealing with Russia. Last year, the Republican majority leader, Kevin McCarthy, was caught on tape saying he believed Rohrabacher was indeed on Putin’s payroll ...

27. I feel bad for some Republican neighbors who hate Trump.

They didn't vote for him and Republicans lost many races in the OC. Harley is a giant step up for the 48th.
