CNN seemed pretty upset about Democrats great result in NC 09
Watched a bit of the Don Lemon sucking on a Lemon hour (or however long it goes) last night in the wake of the North Carolina Special election. It was like watching people gathering after a funeral, where you are grieving for the deceased but pretending that you are actually "celebrating" the deceased life.
One of the oddest parts of the CNN schtick is how they seem to find pseudo-conservatives to come on the show and sound pretty much identical to the liberal that they have on their little back and forth discussions. This provides the illusion that everyone (from the left and right) is in agreement 100% of the time that whatever is happening is good for Democrats and bad for Republicans.
Comically, he did have John Kasich on last night. Not exactly a conservative's conservative or much of a fan with the President. But yet it got amazingly tense between Lemon and Kasich over the fact that they simply didn't agree on certain points. When Kasich is the most conservative Republican you can find to come on your show, you have an issue.
Either way, it's always interesting to watch CNN (I was probably the only person within a hundred miles doing so) and simply see a different reality. One where the results of the NC Special Election are an aberration and illusionary, but the results of the latest CNN poll are important and substantial. I always wonder if they actually "live" in this world, or are just trying to sucker people into believing it.

The GOP was so afraid the election would go against them that they were already doing damage control before it took place. They got a mere squeak of a win in a district that went decidedly for Trump.
Winning has Jane stomping her feet.
Imagine if the Three Socialist Stooges of CHT would have WON both theses seats.
Trump Trails All Top Democrats
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds President Trump trailing all the leading Democratic contenders.
Joe Biden currently does the best, aided by significant support from women. He is ahead of the president by 15 points, 55% to 40%, among registered voters.
The pattern continues with the other candidates. Bernie Sanders runs ahead of Trump by nine points, Elizabeth Warren has a seven-point edge and Kamala Harris leads by seven points.
The Pete Buttigieg-Trump margin is the closest, with registered voters splitting 47 percent for the South Bend mayor to Trump’s 43 percent.
So polls had the Republican down 17 a month before the election and he wins in a stunning comeback !!!
Libs try to ignore their defeat and go back to posting polls.
ROFLMFAO !!!
James - McCready did much better in 2018 than he did during this special election. The Democrat even lost the County of Cumberland, which has been a traditionally blue county.
This was considered one of those bellwether 2018 suburban districts where Democrats believed that they had been breaking through in other areas of the country. They came much closer in 2018 than they did in 2019.
Any way you cut it, it would suggest that Democrats are not as strong as they were a year ago.
Moreover, McCready is the pseudo-conservative that runs well in these districts because he appeals to the center. None of the people left who will be on stage are these sorts of players. All of them (Bennett, Gabbard, etc...) are sitting on the sidelines with less than 2%.
The closest is Joe Biden, who is still be pushed hard to his left and has now been passed up by Liz Warren as the betting favorite.
btw... you know who is still odd-on favorite to win in 2020?
Trump.
You should get involved in that action, since you seem to like to wager on things like this. Now is the time.
Seems the betting markets aren't believing the media polls more anybody else.
Go for James, you can clean up if you think you're right.
Five Democratic contenders lead Donald Trump in head-to-head matchups in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, with several widening their advantage since July. Concerns about the economy, which have pushed down the president’s job approval rating, are a factor.
Among those tested in the survey, Joe Biden leads Trump by 16 percentage points among all adults, 54-38%, essentially the same as two months ago. Bernie Sanders leads by 12 points, up from 6 in July; as does Elizabeth Warren by 11 points, compared with a slight 7 points previously. Kamala Harris leads by 10 points, while Pete Buttigieg has a slight 6-point edge.
Trump’s support is virtually the same, 38%-41%, in all these matchups, vs. 41%-45% in July. What changes have occurred mainly reflect dips in his support rather than Democratic gains in this poll.
Moderate swing state voters are getting sick and tired of the President and his irrational behavior and the chaotic administration.
The special election yesterday was not an indication that his chances were effected.
Sorry Roger...
If you "really" believe that Pete Buttigeig would beat the President by six points, then you definitely need to start drinking again!

Warren is not the favorite. What you consider as the left, is not going to get the nomination. Trump's odds are not the same likelyhood as in the past.
People are upset by his chaotic behavior and his lack of ability to remain silent and his constant tweets.
If the vote turnout increases, he will go down in history in a historic defeat.
Scott, if you actually believe that he will win again, you should take the 12 step path towards rational thinking.
Yes, if the election was held today, Mayor Pete Buttigeig would be the first openly gay President.
Approximately 13 and 1/2 months for now, I won't predict the future results, too many things can happen that could drastically affect the outcome of the election. But the odds are that he will be a one term President. Today.

Betting markets make Trump a prohibitive favorite.
FAKE NEWS polls not.
We will see who to believe.
Democrats are outperforming Hillary Clinton's 2016 margins by 5.5 points, while generic congressional ballot polls show Democrats ahead by an average of more than 6 points.

Trump Slams ‘Phony Suppression Poll’
President Trump lashed out at a new Washington Post/ABC News poll showing him trailing the top five Democratic presidential candidates, dismissing it as a “phony suppression poll.”
Said Trump: “If it weren’t for the never ending Fake News about me, and with all that I have done (more than any other President in the first 2 1/2 years!), I would be leading the ‘Partners’ of the LameStream Media by 20 points. Sorry, but true!”
___________
When future historians are asked, Which American President suffered most from delusions of grandeur?---the answer will be easy.
Democrats are outperforming
Where exactly...
And don't say "polling" because polling is not a tangible performance.
Keep in mind that McCready had been leading in most of the polls in NC 09 (Bishop only led in one poll I saw during the entire cycle and that was a Breitbart poll). In fact one poll had McCready up six points just a few days before the election.
So technically McCready "underperformed his polling". Other than a couple of polls, he underperformed between 4-8 percent.
Here, Donald, chew on this FAKE NEWS:
The Bad News In the GOP’s Narrow Win Last Night
First Read: “They barely won a district that both Donald Trump and Mitt Romney carried by 12 points, suggesting — at least for this one special — that the overall political environment hasn’t changed much since 2018.
“Indeed, the Cook Political Report identifies more than 30 GOP-held House seats that are less friendly to Republicans than NC-9.”
“They include TX-23 (the open Will Hurd seat), PA-1 (Brian Fitzpatrick), MI-6 (Fred Upton), NE-2 (Don Bacon), IL-12 (Mike Bost), OH-1 (Steve Chabot) and FL-16 (Vern Buchanan).”
Inside John Bolton’s Chaotic Exit
Jonathan Swan: “The last time National Security Adviser John Bolton spoke with President Donald Trump was Monday afternoon around 2 p.m. in the Oval Office — offering to resign — about 22 hours before the president’s Tuesday tweet suggesting that he had fired Bolton.
“The timeline contradicts the president’s account and speaks volumes about how Trump runs his administration. It underscores Trump’s pattern of adjusting facts to fit his narrative, a week after the ‘Sharpie’ controversy involving the path of Hurricane Dorian.
“It also serves to warn Bolton’s successor — whom Trump says he’ll name next week — what they’re signing up for.”
Trump fired Bolton for showing that the President is an even bigger bonehead than Bolton is.
Let's have the Taliban come to Camp David for a pleasant little chat indeed.
I just LOVE your president. I play him like a violin.
So do I.
So do we.
We almost got to Camp David!
I bow to tyrants
polling is not a tangible performance.
You bow down to worship the President ever since day.
I look into their eyes and see their souls.
I especially love him. He lets himself do my bidding.
(But I still hold on to that golden stream tape and several of his most nefarious business deals just in case.)
He says, Did you hack our election? and I say No and he says Thank You.
Huge Majority Doesn’t Trust the White House
A new CNN poll finds 71% of voters said that they trusted none or just some of what was directly communicated from the White House.
FAKE NEWS! FAKE POLL! WITCH HUNT! NO COLLUSION!
A new CNN poll
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Good one James!
Thanks for the laugh!
You're welcome. Whoever laughs last, laughs best.
Trump Still Won’t Commit on Gun Legislation
Washington Post: “White House aides briefed Republican senators on potential legislative options at their private weekly luncheon Tuesday — including expanding the federal background-check system for gun buyers and encouraging states to create systems to temporarily seize guns from individuals judged to be dangerous — but they gave no indication of what Trump himself is willing to sign into law, exasperating some of those present.
“Speaking to reporters afterward, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) confirmed Trump has yet to weigh in on the subject. Guns were among the topics discussed at a White House meeting between Trump and Republican congressional leaders Tuesday afternoon, but attendees said there were no decisions on how to move forward on the issue.”
Trump has become a REAL Republican, putting party before people, nation, children, all.
"You're welcome. Whoever laughs last, laughs best."

Want irony alongside pure missing the point?
"Hey, these polls were off compared to the actual numbers by as much as 8%."
James responds by citing more polls.
@parscale
President @realDonaldTrump made the difference for Dan Bishop in NC-9!
In Cumberland County (where rally was held):
* 2018 - McCready +4
* Last night - Bishop +.2
Bishop made gains in Election Day ballots thanks to @POTUS rally!
@EricTrump
Funny that the media isn’t reporting that the democrats and their outside groups spent $8 Million + on #NC09 (vastly outspending Republicans) and still lost tonight’s election. In #NC03, the Republican won by 25%! Great night for the good guys! #NeverGetTiredOfWinning

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF A LA NIXON
Trump Considers Double-Tapping Pompeo
“Just one day after President Trump dismissed national security adviser John Bolton, administration officials are discussing the possibility of replacing Bolton with his chief rival, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo,” CNN reports.
“Under this scenario, the country’s top diplomat would absorb the national security adviser role and do both jobs.”
“That would make Pompeo the second person in history to have both jobs at the same time. The first, HENRY KISSINGER, was already President Richard NIXON’S national security adviser when he was appointed secretary of state in 1973, and filled both roles for two years.”
______________
AND THEN HISTORY COULD REPEAT ITSELF AGAIN WITH A NICE AND VERY SUCCESSFUL IMPEACHMENT.
Of course, Nixon had the good sense to just go ahead and resign. Trump would stay and fight and thereby destroy the GOP.
GOP just won two special elections.
