    You have to admit things aren't going well for them. Losing election after election, throwing huge amounts of money down the losing drain, Bernie, Loretta, Hillary in the hot seat, travel bans enacted, SC seats opening up, The Don wielding power like a Prez...well where is your win?

    The justices will hear full arguments in the October in the case that has stirred heated emotions across the nation. In the meantime, the court said Monday that Trump’s ban on visitors from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen can be enforced as long if those visitors lack a “credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States.”
    well crafted decision.
    it doesn't harm that can prove a "bona fide" relationship -meaning we know who you are

    These states are failed states -they are in a civil war,or have multiple governments -or both
    How in the heck can anyone from Libya be documented beyon a doubt?

    Then take Syria..why would you trust ANY documentation from Syria?

    ISIS Has Whole Fake Passport 'Industry,' Official Says
    http://abcnews.go.com/International/...ry?id=36505984
    he terror group ISIS has created a whole “industry” out of the production of fake passports, a high-level French official said today.

    French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve told reporters that through ISIS’s operations in Syria, Iraq and Libya, the group has acquired blank passports and has now set up a “real fake document industry.” Cazeneuve made the statement following a meeting with top European officials where he proposed setting up a new task force to help nab people attempting to come into the European Union with fake papers.

    Last month ABC News reported that U.S. intelligence suspected ISIS had acquired thousands of blank Syrian passports and at least one passport printing machine after taking over government offices in Syria. Officials from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) said in a 17-page report that the terror group has likely been able to print legitimate-looking Syrian passports since at least last summer – and raised the possibility that people using the forged documents have snuck into America.

    Good trends overall, quite honestly. You can make a lame joke about "moral victories," but every special election - in deep red districts - has seen wins that Republicans used to coast to by big double-digits reduced to single digits. On average, Democrats have gained 8% in those elections.

    Clearly, not enough to win in deep red districts. But come '18, a lot of the contested seats will be in more purple areas.

    Your argument is that Dems are losing big still, but won't in the coming years.

    Still, doesn't even address throwing huge amounts of money down the losing drain, Bernie, Loretta, Hillary in the hot seat, travel bans enacted, SC seats opening up, The Don wielding power like a Prez...well where is your win?

    In 2018? lol

    Pretty much. The Dems aren't getting wins right now; they don't control anything, and every special election has been in a red district.

    Exact same situation the GOP was in 8 years ago. Dems won the 1st 7 special elections, and the GOP didn't have much say legislatively or otherwise. Then, things changed a bit. It's likely to go that way for the Dems now.

    Hopefully the Reps will stay away from losing issues like forced gendering in restrooms, muslim invasions, Paris Accords, and secret Iran giveaways.

    You're prediction here is based on the swinging pendulum theory and nothing else.

    It's not really theory. It's the history of our country.

    Add in that Trump is an historically unpopular President, and I'm not really that worried about the next few elections. The GOP is maxxed out - if you think you're going to keep gaining seats, that's pretty delusional.

    I'd also add that it's based on Dems consistently overperforming historical trends in the districts where there have been special elections so far.

    You are such a political novice. I can't believe you are still spouting the "these are seats Republicans won by double digits". It is an ignorant position lacking any nuance or substance.

    The reason Price's election isn't relevant is that you are trying to compare an election with a long term incumbent with that of an open seat. You are comparing apples and oranges. Had Tom Price for some reason been up for election he probably would have won by another 30%. Essentially when there are open seats that is when any district has its best chance of flipping.

    As I said before the election, anyone trying to extrapolate these results to 2018 is a fool. For one, what we need to know is those politicians who are retiring.

    It is sad that you are so politically ignorant

    I think that was Ossoff's campaign slogan.

    Of course the pendulum swings. It is still swinging to the right and will continue to do so for years to come. The Dem's time in power is over for now.

    Why do you continually focus only on Price? Look at the margins in that district the past 3-4 decades.

    Look, you can believe whatever you want about '18. Your posts are always 100% wishful thinking, so it doesn't matter to me.
