If you think that the Democratic tidal wave that is hitting this country as a result of the incredibly incompetent vile Presidency of Donald Trump is due to "felons being given a right to vote," you are dumber than he is.


A win by one vote, and you call this a “tidal wave?”
OK.


Bingo!

You're absolutely right. Sit back and relax, Republicans, don't even bother voting next year, there's no danger here! Y'all are doing great!

Sorry, don't usually make such corrections, but since it is Jeff, who is rather well-read, I'm surprise that he misspelled the phrase "burying the lede".


You must not be familiar with my spelling skills, or lack there of.

The Democrats picked up at least 15 seats in the House of Delegates (a few recounts still pending). No one predicted they would flip the House. This is about a lot more than "1 vote."

A friend of mine in tx is really excited for the possibilities next year. I think they do actually have challengers in all
Districts. Wouldn't that be something?

No they are referring to McAuliffe's move to given 13,000 felons the right to vote to swing elections in VA for the Democrats. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-politics/mcauliffe-restores-voting-rights-to-13000-felons/2016/08/22/2372bb72-6878-11e6-99bf-f0cf3a6449a6_story.html?utm_term=.77831cc2abdd

I don't have the exact number but Democrats only challenged around two thirds of the 100 seats.


Hopefully we can get that number up next cycle.
