    GOP spent just as much money, and they are important as a reflection of what could happen down the road, these are ruby red districts that should be gimme's for Republicans and they have been far from it, might make a lot of purple district Republicans get a little nervous in anticipation of 2018

    I wish you guys were as good at governing as you were at gloating over easy wins.

    List all of them. List who you think are in danger of losing. Shouldn't be hard for political geniuses like you

    Well I am not governing cuz believe me if I were Speaker I would be flooding the zone with conservative legislation. The democrat party's head would spin.

    Obamacare repeal would be one page. Done. Repealed. You would cry but it would be ok

    Now with that said, I agree with you. The GOP sucks at governing from the standpoint of they are pussies. If they had half the balls the democrat party did, Planned Parenthood would be defunded already.

    Actually we have a President who is intent on making big changes to the status quo and a contingent, including those in his own party, that don't want that to happen. Unlike you 'rats, Republicans are not in lock-step. lol

    Agreed. Many like Ryan and McCuntell are all about the status quo. We aren't going to defeat them overnight.

    But Clingy Thingy is starting to realize that the tide has shifted away from leftism. We just need some liberal judges to move on.

    Away from leftism?

    The GOP POTUS and most Republicans now campaign on universal healthcare.

    While you weren't paying attention, the left won.

    Losing by single digit points in four strong GOP strongholds within months of the national election?

    I wouldn't say that's great, but certainly promising considering midterms are over a year away.

    What we need is to start impeaching judges who have not exercised "good behavior".
