He’s the match; we’re the ammo. Only we can stop ourselves - Trump thread 86

[TheClaws]

This is one of the most apt political cartoon I’ve seen.

I got it.

Or 'They are the we of me,' as Carson McCullers would say.

Is that the Andrew Neil who was pushing Marine Le Pen, Red

He may be right but I suspect his motives.

The Senate race in NJ is closer than expected, though Menendez seems safe according to the lates polls. A Republican hasn’t won a US Senate race in NJ in 46 years so a loss would be an embarrassment & could topple slim chance of Democrats taking the Senate. #ElectionDay

New Jersey?!!

Grumpendorf, ultimately Neil can't change the result. He's a dickhead still but...

He should be shown the door, actually.

Republicans win Kentucky

He can't but afaik he's the only person making those claims atm. Just as he did with Le Pen (wrongly).

NBC and CNN are calling Virginia for Kaine and Vermont for Sanders. Neither a surprise.

Which race in KY? All I can see is that less than 10% of the vote has been counted.

It's not going to be surprising though, there really weren't expected to be many flips in KY.

Nelson's 7 point margin in Pinellas County, Fla. early/abs vote is not a good sign for Scott.

MSNBC commentary is confirming this. But early days.

@afneil
With 6% of votes in the Dems have taken lead in crucial Kentucky district 6

@afneil
First Indiana urban/suburban votes in Allen County (Ft Wayne) and they are v strong for Senator Donnelly (Dem incumbent). Senate race pure rural v urban/suburban.

@ErickFernandez
NBC predicts Tim Kaine will beat white supremacist Corey Stewart.

@afneil

Thanks woman maybe that's what red was seeing. I'm going to keep a wait and see attitude towards early reports. Look what happened in 2016. It was pretty much 'Hillary has it' until late in the evening when things started changing (for the worse).

I've got MSNBC on in another room and I pop in and out, but I think I'm not going to get serious about things until around 6 or so.

I'm off, toes crossed.
