Didn't the woman used to be a republican and then switched to dem to run the past two cycles? I seem to remember something like that. Sounds like she worked to screw dems from within.

But yeh, it sounds like what happened in Broward was mostly due to the bad ballot. That doesn't take away from the fact that Scoot and Kemp and reps around the country did everything they could to keep dems from voting, using their offices to disenfranchise voters. It's really about the most despicable thing you can do in a democracy.

Now I get it. She was a republican, then she left and drove around the block, changed clothes, made another loop, and came back in as a democrat. That’s where Trumps story comes from.

I am surprised that no o e posted anything about what was breaking no on local DC news at about 645 last night. Here is the problematic headline, and you don t really need the story to see what a pickle we have now: CIA reportedly concludes Jamal Khashoggi's assassination was ordered by Saudi crown prince.

Coal lobbyist Andrew Wheeler to nominated for EPA secretary.

First, of course.

Second, good job draining that swamp.

Well you were wrong and wrapping hyperbole around that omission doesn’t change that.

These people:

“Today the court made clear that there is no absolute First Amendment right to access the White House,” Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement after the ruling.

That is not remotely what the Court "made clear", but you do you, Sarah. What the Court DID make clear is that you and the President violated Jim Acosta's Fifth Amendment right to due process. I really think I am going to pick one day next year where I just make shit up all day. It must be one hell of a life to live in a fantasy world all the time.

Tbf it's about 40%

No

then what was it. There was something about someone in charge down there switching to dem. I actually think it was you who posted it, but I'm obviously remembering that part wrong because I'm sure there's no way I would get some small part of it wrong and you would act like I got it completely wrong.

Found it. She wasn't a republican, but she was appointed by Jeb. You said she ran as a democrat so I thought the Jeb appointment and mentioning that she ran as a democrat meant she was a republican. What was she when she was appointed, 3rd party? Otherwise, I'm not sure why you would say she "ran as a democrat." If she was democrat at the time of appointment, I would have thought you would just say she was a democrat. Anyway, the GOP obviously wanted her in there and now this happens. If she wasn't a mole, she sure did act like one. Or maybe it's just that every person the GOP puts in place in election positions is " an incompetent clown," that seems to make decisions that helps your corrupt party. Just saying "No," is very misleading. I'm glad I had a few minutes to try to find the post.

Broward county elections supervisor was appointed by JEB! btw.
She was appointed by Jeb as an interim after he removed her predecessor for gross incompetence in handling the 2002 FL primaries, and has been reelected four times as a Democrat since. And she appears to be an incompetent clown.

No, she's a Democrat and has always been a Democrat. The person she was appointed to replace was the first African American elected to run elections in Broward, which is a majority minority county and the largest Dem county in the state. Jeb suspending an elected black Democrat who oversaw elections in the most important Democratic county in Florida wasn't without controversy so to minimize it, he appointed Snipes after she was courted to do the job by local Democrats & African American leaders.

Miami Herald pulled together a compilation of stories the other day from when they wrote about the predecessor's suspension & Snipes' appointment along with her recent controversies - https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/ ... 03400.html

So what are the potential dem gains in 2020 if the economy takes a dive?

The keys.

Two economic keys, short and long term economy, scandal, no foreign policy success, a foreign policy disaster(NK), and the Loss of the House.

How many keys are they?

SIX

If the economy tanks the Dem candidate wins.

If there are Dems with aspirations of being the follow up to the DONALD, they should start running now.

I wonder what the Donald will do with that $100 million he raised for his campaign.

Ok, there is nothing to see here, you can all go home.

53 47 Senate

+38 in Congress for a 20 seat majority

It is all over but the Mueller investigation.

Speaking of Mueller, there are THIRTY FOUR SEALED INDICTMENTS IN THE US DISTRICT COURT CLERK'S OFFICE.

I am making a list and checking it twice.

Don Jr.
Ivanka
The hubby
Sessions
Julian
Wiki go betweens

Wow, 34 INDICTMENTS, that means they got everyone.

More than three dozen sealed criminal indictments have been added to the federal court docket.

ABC news reporting, along with the rest of them

NOTE, CORRECTION, IT IS MORE THAN THREE DOZEN SEALED INDICTMENTS!!!!!

TALK ABOUT MUELLER INSURANCE!!!!!

Ok, I guess I'll have to find time to put the Miami Herald in my regular reading rotation.

I think the problem was that when you say this, "She was appointed by Jeb as an interim after he removed her predecessor for gross incompetence in handling the 2002 FL primaries, and has been reelected four times as a Democrat since," it sounds like she wasn't a democrat to begin with. Otherwise, why not just say she's a democrat? Anyway, doesn't matter. She's terrible. Another GOP appointee who sucks at running elections.

39
The final number of flipped house seats.

So the margin, above 218 is about 15.

Someone who cares about precision will find out I am sure.

This is article regarding a Democrat winning an election in Kentucky by one vote. He beat an Army buddy, DJ Johnson. D J is a huge Trump supporter so I'm not really bummed.
