Democrat wins Santos's NY Seat in huge blow to Republicans

[StmarysCity79]

Democrats continue to narrow the house majority held by only 3 Republicans proving they will do well in the suburbs in the general

1. Republicans' historically narrow majority got even smaller.​

What gets thinner than a whisker? That's essentially Republicans' current majority in the House — only three seats. You think governing has been hard for House Republicans? It just got that much harder.

2. Republicans continue to struggle in the suburbs.​

Education, crime and now immigration. None of those issues has really turned the tide for Republicans in the suburbs. With former President Donald Trump as the likely standard bearer again for the party, their job is made even harder. The latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll found that almost two-thirds of suburban voters have an unfavorable opinion of Trump and, in a head-to-head matchup, Biden leads Trump by 16 points with suburban voters.

So republicans in the house expel their trash while the shitt in the D senate won't.
Sen. Bob Menendez for 1,000.

Dems on Long Island wouldn't vote for a female Ethiopian Jew immigrant. Racists, misogynists, and bigots all of them.

It's their nature.

Democrats are Corrupt, Criminal Scum.

Proof is in the pudding, they would have a lawless banana republic as long as the emperor has a D beside his name............ see Myorkis. Question is how long will temperance last?

Since 2012 Pilip has been enrolled in the Democrat party. So a Dem beat a Dem.

Not sure why this is such a "huge blow" or even surprising.

She has to get excited where she can.

Because you don't understand anything.

The margin in the house is now done to one.

Republicans had the district and should have held it

It shows the propaganda about the border and Bidens mental decline aren't working on suburban voters.

You did the Tide Pod Challenge multiple times, din'cha?

 

[Ken King]

It is? 435 total members - 219 GOP, 213 Dem, 3 vacancies.

How is that "DONE" to one?

Sorry to pass legislation on party lines republicans can't lose more than two votes on their side. Not one

(not that they would ever pass legislation)

Like HR2 that Schumer has been sitting on since May?

You mean the stand alone bill that they wasted time writing knowing no one would vote on a stand alone bill?

Useless.

Why do you support people who do political theater and don't actually try to govern?

 

[Ken King]

You mean the stand alone bill that they wasted time writing knowing no one would vote on a stand alone bill?

Well, it passed the House so apparently many "no one"s voted for it.

Useless.

I agree, you are.

Why do you support people who do political theater and don't actually try to govern?

Political theater is a liberal trait and I don't support the liberal agenda.

Just like Mayorkas impeachment passed but everyone is laughing at your stupidity instead of cheering you for passing it.

Try doing something for the country other than infighting, impeachment and making up lies about Hunter Biden and perhaps people will take your party seriously.

 

[Kyle]

Try doing something for the country...

Stop lying.

No Democrat has done ANYTHING for the country since WWII.

 

[Ken King]

You mean like the House Democrats did from the election of 2016 until up to and including now?

 

[StmarysCity79]

Yes. feel free to compare the number of bills passed.

It should be easy for you

The leftie press is trying to prop it up as a harbinger of what's the come in the House, in the fall.

It's not. It was a Dem seat for years - Santos got it - two Dems ran for it, one of them turned Republcan - whoop de doo.

There's a seismic shift happening right under the Dem's feet, and that is, they are losing African Americans.
Not HUGE - Republicans are pulling down 20-25% but they used to get **5**.

There are some demographic election calculators on the Internet that show - if the Republicans ever consistently get above 16% of the AA vote - they will always win. Above 20 - and they will begin to win BLUE states, often.

Black voters are getting sick of promises the Dems refuse to keep - they promise - don't deliver - and blame Republicans. It's getting old, and more and more younger black voters are changing their minds about voting Democrat all the time.

I think IF Trump wins big - he will have very long coattails.
