If you ever take a trip down to Cobb County, Georgia.
You better make a vote to
Cause GOP disorder
Or we'll have hard times.
Show them they'll have hard climbs
You know the Big Oss Man will walk that centrist line
You better watch out Handel or you'll have lots of downtime

Ok maybe this topic can help me out. In terms of our relationship with China, is this tweet as concerning of a thing for the president to be publicly saying as I think it is?

I mean, in the context of things Trump has said that are of interest to China, that's on the positive half.

More worrisome to me is the notion that he's going to do something about North Korea because China can't keep them in check.

Hey, when President Xi was here, he got to stay at the luxurious Mar-a-Lago resort! Surely that buys Trump a lot of good will to burn.

Are we sure Trump even knows who Spicer is? Have they ever been photographed together?



(Almost certainly, but it's more funny this way)

His relationship with China is considerably warmer than it was in January, at least, where he pissed them off by accidentally recognizing Taiwan as independent.

Or when his lawyer contradicts himself, and then denies it.

Or when he contradicts himself. Like when he praised AHCA then later called it a 'mean' bill.

South Carolina is apparently much closer than expected

Nate's been bringing up the possibility that all of the attention that's been brought to the GA race may have ended up hurting Dems a bit since they're already fired up and that it's possible that they would do better if things flew under the radar.

John McCain is one of the biggest political disappointments of recent memory. Every time he looked like he was about to take a stand on something he never ended up putting his money where his mouth was. Now he's slowly degraded into speaking incoherently and without any substance.

Agreed.

I respect him as a war veteran and surviving being a prisoner of war, but he wouldn't even stand up for other veterans.

Price literally won by 23% last November

This is in no way a good result for Republicans, just better than their very low expectations.

I'm reading the very left wing 538 which says literally the opposite. After all the hype and money, if Ossoff loses it's utterly demoralising for them.

There are a lot of CDs held by Republicans that were closer in 2016 than GA 6.

Doubt it, since the last minute spending push was by the Republicans, not Democrats. Plus the shooting.

the fact that ossoff lost is meaningless this was not a race he was supposed to win. i lived in that district for 9 years and it is upper middle class white folks who are very conservative.

the democrats real problem is that they are obsessed with this strategy of appealing to upper middle class whites in the suburbs by going further right, spending tons of time and money on these areas and the results are that the Obama/Trump era has seen a total collapse of the parties power in all parts of government because they are taking the other votes for granted.
