This outcome will have disproportionate effects. The Republicans will be emboldened to implement Trump's agenda. As of tonight, the odds of healthcare reform, tax cuts, and an infrastructure package are significantly higher than they were yesterday. This is good news for T's presidency, and a huge relief; a loss would have been bad and demoralizing.
By the same token, it means that this summer will be dicey. Irrationally, the Year Zero cadres will be much more enraged than if they'd won that one seat, and they'll feel they need to go all in on "obstruction". Expect to hear a lot more about Comey/Mueller and co. in the weeks and months to come. They're going to make a serious push for this. I think they're going to fall well short because the legal pretexts are so flimsy -- very tough to make it work even with all the will in the world. But it might get interesting for a while.

Eric is no threat. We can roll out a toliet paper of shit he's done. Especially if Trump pulls out that Fast and Furious stuff and hits him over the head as a Globalist that helped Obama destabilize Latin America turning at least a few countries into violent hellholes. He should actually call him a Globalist publically since lots of disaffected progressives are cannibalizing each other over Globalism.
Eric would get at least 80% black vote just because he is black, liberal, and well spoken. I would not be surprised if he got 90% honestly, but that isn't enough. Most blacks are either jealous of Trump or too put off that he is nothing like Obama (based on the fact most of us have to be many times more polished than our white peers to get the same success in life, the Fratboy Chad effect), when that is not a fair comparison in this situation.
Statesmen like FDR, Lincoln, or Obama are usually best compared with each other. Jackson, Trump, Teddy types are better compared to each other as well in regards to decorum, etc. Perhaps someday a rootin tootin black dude that is politically incorrect and swears will be president, so that they can chill the fuck out on that.
Trump has enough black support to deny 100% democrat black voter base, which would be important because Hillary did not get enough black voters to come out, like Obama did, which Holder could. Trump has enough Latino vote to prevent 100% vote for Democrat as well. How Holder would do with Latino voters is too far to guess on, because there is no telling how they feel about him and that F&F scandal, but I am sure he will be on an open borders platform to woo them over, which will completely fuck him over on moderate white vote and conservative black and Latino vote.
More importantly is the rule of thumb that favors incumbents regardless of the political wind. It is very hard to unseat an incumbent.

Do I look like that? Sorry.
Call me naive, but I really, really expected a lot more from Trump, also when it comes to Russia, the Middle East and Economics issues. As for the US-Chinese issue I expected some kind of restrained confrontation between both parties, but as far as I can see, the relationship has been very smooth.

Quote:It was the most Trump’s name was mentioned during the half-hour event. Handel avoided reference to the president in her remarks. (“My job is to represent the people of the 6th District,” she told reporters the night before when asked about her relationship with Trump during a campaign stop at a local tavern. “I’m not an extension of the White House.”)
“She’ll be independent, there’s no doubt in my mind she’ll do that,” Ed Painter, leader of the 14th District Republican Party and one of the “Make America Great Again” hat wearers in the crowd, told BuzzFeed News. “I don’t know that she’ll do it the way I like it. But she will do it.
If only Handel were running in Painter’s district. Trump won there by more than 50 points
Quote:Donald Trump’s presidential campaign fired its Virginia state co-chairman, Corey Stewart, on Monday after he took part in a protest in front of Republican National Committee headquarters, a move with repercussions in both the national campaign and the 2017 governor’s race.
The messy parting of ways came just weeks before the election and was the latest sign of turmoil in a campaign that has recently been in a free-fall. Stewart and senior Trump campaign officials blamed each other for problems in Virginia, where polls show Democrat Hillary Clinton leads comfortably.
“Former Virginia State Chairman Corey Stewart is no longer affiliated with the Donald J. Trump for President campaign,” said Trump’s deputy campaign manager, David Bossie, in a statement. “He is being replaced, effective immediately. Corey made this decision when he staged a stunt in front of the RNC without the knowledge or the approval of the Trump campaign.”
Stewart acknowledged that he was let go for supporting the rally in front of RNC headquarters in the District, which was aimed at warning the national party against abandoning Trump. He said he did not organize the rally but wholeheartedly backed it and helped spread the word about it.
Shortly before the rally began, Bossie texted, warning him to stop the rally, Stewart said.
“He threatened me,” Stewart said. “I let everybody know he was threatening me. They said, ‘there are going to be dire consequences’ unless I shut down the rally.”
Stewart said he did not respond to the message but knew that it meant that he would be fired if he went forward with his plans. He went ahead to make his point, that establishment Republicans — he referred to them at the event and on Facebook as “establishment pukes” — were trying to undermine Trump.
Stewart said he never heard back from the campaign afterward and only learned from a media report that he had been fired.
“I wanted to call them out and, look, there’s not a lot of time left,” Stewart said. “The truth needs to be told. Paul Ryan, the Mitt Romneys, the Reince Priebuses, they don’t want Trump to win. They’re sabotaging the campaign.”
Stewart was the only prominent Virginia Republican to defend Trump after the release last week of a video in which the presidential candidate made lewd remarks about women. Trump “acted like a frat boy, as a lot of guys do,” he said at the time.
Stewart complained that money raised by Republicans in Virginia was spent by the RNC on down-ticket races in other states.
“We’ve been raising money in Virginia for Trump, and the RNC has broken all its promises to help its campaign in Virginia because Virginia doesn’t have any critical down-ticket races,” he said.

The elites could be NWO/Bilderburgers/CFR/Trileteral Commission/Skull&Crossbones, or the blanket term "Illuminati". Soros himself funded Trump Chicago. Google that.
Quote:The pair’s relationship goes back more than a decade. In 2004, Soros lent Trump a cool $160 million to help with the construction of Trump International Hotel & Tower in Chicago, the Chicago Tribune reported. At the time, some Chicagoans were skeptical that Trump would ever get his tower built. The project, after all, was yuuuge.
Quote:Donald Trump has lined up three New York hedge funds, including money from billionaire George Soros, to invest $160 million in his Chicago skyscraper, a key piece in perhaps the largest construction financing in the city's history, according to real estate sources and public documents.
Quote:On Sept. 10, 2008, real estate developer Leslie Dick Worldwide Ltd. named both of them (along with 15 other defendants) in a lawsuit over the sale of the General Motors Building in Manhattan, as the trade publication Pensions & Investments reported.
Leslie Dick Worldwide alleged that the defendants engaged in a conspiracy of money laundering, bankruptcy fraud, and bid rigging when Trump and Conseco Finance contracted to sell the building in 2003, as The New York Sun detailed. The developer said Soros masterminded a scheme to keep it from buying the building, even though it outbid the eventual purchaser, Macklowe Properties Inc. Leslie Dick Worldwide’s complaint held that Soros gave Macklowe the funds to buy the building—which led to the allegations of money laundering.
And it said the process of selling the building was “permeated with fraud.” The New York Sun reported that when the building was sold, it bore the word TRUMP “in huge gold-colored letters.”
The lawsuit didn’t go anywhere. Court filings show a judge dismissed it “without prejudice” and that the case was terminated on Oct. 10, 2009. That means the plaintiff could file it again, but records show that hasn’t happened—making it a shared victory for Trump and Soros.

Quote:Soros, on the other hand, has not been as gracious. In January of this year, he said Trump was “doing the work of ISIS.”

That BBC article is a bit misleading.
They don't sell a lot of Focuses (Foci?) in the US as it is, but sell a lot of them other places. In fact, the article already says they already make them in China.
Have a nice day.
