The Women are coming to fix this mess. The pink way is Blue. [View all]

Sorry guys, most of you, not all... have performed poorly.

"The pink wave is blue. It's really about the fact that there's more Democrats running this year," she said. "[But] even among Democrats, women have increased their numbers of candidacies more than their male counterparts. So there is a piece of this that is distinctive to women, and particularly Democratic women."

Indeed, the increase in Democratic candidates from 2016 (68 percent) is much bigger than the increase in Republican candidates (13.5 percent).
But in both parties, the jump in women candidates is much bigger than the jump for men. The number of Democratic women running is up by nearly 127 percent, compared to 51 percent for Democratic men. Likewise, the number of Republican women is up by 28 percent, compared to 12 percent for GOP men.

Voters do see women and men candidates differently, and those differences may give women an advantage in November — women tend to communicate the idea of change to voters more than men do, as strategists told NPR in March, and women tend to fare better than men on the topic of health care, which is an important campaign issue this year.

Democratic women candidates have additional reason for optimism, as Democrats are far more likely than Republicans to believe that electing more women would improve the country.

"The gains that we all, at least those of us who do women politics, want to see for women in politics — those gains are going to be a long game," she added. "They aren't going to happen in one election."

We are coming to a house or senate near you.

We are coming. Sssshhh. Hush. Do not be afraid. We are here and plan to fix this mess you have made. We will wipe your soiled bottoms as we have done for all time, though you wear depends now and we are still cleaning up your crap. Geez, do you ever grow up...never mind I already know that answer. You will never grow up because you think you are superior to us. Throw a tantrum.... then we will tell you to go stand in the corner while we clean up the fucking mess you made of this Country.

Off to the naughty mat boys. You been bad. You get the naughty mat and we will get the seats.

..................................

THE NAUGHTY MAT

Staying calm and in control while your child learns their boundaries is key, and it helps to be consistent in the way you discipline them. The Naughty Mat is used on the show as an alternative to the Naughty Step when you're out and about and your child's behaviour becomes unreasonable

snip
How it works

When your child misbehaves, explain what they've done wrong, tell them that their behaviour is unacceptable, and warn them that if they behave in the same way again, they'll be put on the Naughty Mat. Make sure your voice remains calm, not angry, and use a low, authoritative tone.

snip

Once your child has completed the agreed set time on the Naughty Mat, crouch down so you’re on the same level, use a low and authoritative tone of voice, and explain why you put them there. Ask them to apologise, and when they do, praise them warmly with a kiss and a cuddle. Say ‘thank you’, go back to what you were doing and forget about the incident.

If your child refuses to apologise (or does something like shouts ‘sorry’ in a way which makes you think they probably don't mean it!), continue this technique until they realise that you need a proper apology. But don’t forget the kiss and cuddle at the end!

You are on time out. Your soiled time is past. It is our time.
