[Just_Vote_Dem]

13. His "movement" looks more like the bowel variety

[marlakay]

14. What worries me is more republicans voted

Glad Cenk lost.

[StevieM]

21. That might reflect which parts of the district are coming in first.

Maybe the Republican leaning areas are the first to report.

[irisblue]

15. Good

[George II]

17. BOOM! I was hoping that he would get humiliated. It has.

[Cha]

26. I forgot about this was to be on Super Tues.

I want Christy Smith to Win!

[Polybius]

18. Any link to live results?

I'd like to see what percent of the vote is in.

[sheshe2]

19. Cenk sunk?

547 votes?

[tishaLA]

20. Democrats don't like union busters like Cenk

I even saw an ad for him on TV this past week and somehow I didn't throw the remote

[Codeine]

22. Couldn't happen to a nicer fuckface. nt

[Cha]

27. lol misgoynistic etc FF

He deserves to be humiliated.

[ismnotwasm]

32. Awesome

[DemocratSinceBirth]

33. That's the district next to mine. Cenk sucks but why is the Dem doing so poorly?

[StevieM]

40. As I wrote above, that might reflect which parts of the district are coming in first.

Maybe the Republican leaning areas are the first to report.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

41. I hope so.

[Mugu]

34. Good!

[unitedwethrive]

[NCProgressive]

43. wow -- it is over for Cenk

Great news!

[Tarheel_Dem]

49. Do you know if this is a traditional Dem district? I like that Christy Smith has taken the lead. nt

[DarthDem]

53. No, it's actually traditionally red

But has been getting bluer quite rapidly and Dem registration now outnumbers GOPers. It's sort of akin to the Orange County districts that flipped in 2018, but even bluer now. Katie Hill clowned incumbent Steve Knight in 2018; it wasn't even close.

[Tarheel_Dem]

54. That is such good news.

[NYMinute]

Cenk Uygur is STILL getting his ass kicked.

[Dem2]

45. He's an idiot

I'm glad he's doing poorly.

[fleabiscuit]

47. I'd do that for free. nt

[SunSeeker]

48. Go Christy Smith!

[Cha]

50. YES!!

[Tarheel_Dem]

51. This gives me a warm, cozy feeling all over.

I just heard that another Justice Democrat, who was trying to unseat an incumbent Democrat, went down to defeat in TX. That also made me happy.

[hlthe2b]

52. They saw right through him... Good.

[arthritisR_US]

55. Good

[sprinkleeninow]

56. cenk stank? 🤔

awwzz loozer...

[Hortensis]

61. :) As always. But in this case also sank and tanked.

Loozer! Shoulda run as a Republican. Dirty, ruthless politics and lying to the people are respected strongman tactics over there.

[OnDoutside]

58. Christopher Smith Democrat 559 1.0 .... Is this a GOP spoiler candidate ?

[OnDoutside]

59. Update : May have been a pro Cenk spolier ?

“Among the remaining field, the progressive candidate with the best chance of winning is Cenk Uygur. While I do not agree with some of his past positions or statements, Uygur is aligned with my positions on most issues,” Smith said. “From my personal experience, he has run a good and honest campaign and has shown to me that he has listened to past critiques of his style and grown from them. I think he would be a strong fighter for the district in Washington.”
