| No, it's off to Georgia now... |
I don't want to take anything away from what Democrat James Thompson did in Kansas-04 yesterday--Trump won this heavily red district by 27 points and the previous Congressional Rep, Mike Pompeo, won it three straight times by just north of thirty points, so for Thompson to lose to republican Ron Estes by only 7 points says volumes.
And it may very well be that Markos Moulitsas is right and if we can continue this trend of gaining twenty points in each district it will put 123 districts into play and give us a superb chance to take the House back in 2018.
But, boy, wouldn't it be nice to win one of these for once? For the sake of Democratic morale? And how about getting an extra Democratic vote in the House?
I'd be willing to wager that republicans don't give a rat's ass if they won by 7 or by 30--they're just happy they'll have another reliably red vote for all the bullshit legislation they can't pass.
Maybe I'm just getting old, but moral victories really just don't cut it anymore, especially in the age of Donald Trump.
Fuck Donald Trump,
