He lost the election in November too, right?

Threads like this make me question a person's motives... or at least common sense.

I was going to wait for the actual vote to respond but that would be the actions of a punk. I have nearly eighty thousand posts out there. Members of this community know me and my motives. Pray tell, what do you think my motives are?

It would be pusillanimous of me to talk shit after the outcome is known.

And pull a Trump on me. I'm nervous as heck - especially after November - these are life and death decisions and I'm just too anxious to even pretend to be overconfident again. I posted the Reuters article with trepidation - I do not trust these monsters.

If the NYT and CNN can go out on a limb so can I.


I made this analogy before. Just because Thump has defied the odds before doesn't mean he can defy the odds forever. When Buster Douglas beat Mike Tyson he was a 42-1 underdog. I am sure every manager of a fighter who is a huge underdog tells him of Buster Douglas' overcoming of the odds, only to send him into the ring and watch him have his head handed to him.

There will people who lose more than face.I literally prayed it will fail because I don't want to see people lose their health care.

If I'm wrong on this I will just say we'll get him in the Senate.
