Game Over, Man - GAME OVER!!!

Reading some of the posts here last night, it was all I could do to keep from slapping myself upside the head with a brick.

OMG! Game over! We’re DOOMED!!! We can’t win anything!

So we lost two special elections to Republicans in GOP strongholds – what a shocker! We lost seats vacated by Republicans who were chosen for presidential appointments BECAUSE their seats were considered beyond safe. But according to some here, the sky fell with a resounding thud and it was time for everyone on our side of the aisle to pack up and go home in shame, forever defeated.

The fact that in all special elections thus far, the Republicans have won by much smaller margins than they did the last time a GOPer ran for the same seat was dismissed as unimportant. “The only thing that counts is winning” – a sentiment that completely ignores the gains that Democrats are making, gains that can be turned into victories down the road.

To take the position that Democrats losing to Republicans in Republican strongholds is somehow a sign of overwhelming defeat is beyond ludicrous – in the same way a Democrat winning in a Democratic stronghold is never a sign that Democrats will win everywhere. Most people understand that – but apparently, this is late-breaking news to others.

Politics is a long game. Winning requires effort, hard work, patience, and a slow-but-steady whittling away of the GOP’s hold on voters they have achieved only by lying to them and promising changes they know will never come to be.

Victories are won by inches, not miles; they are won by persistence, not by throwing your hands in the air and walking away. They are also not won by blaming Democrats like Nancy Pelosi – and one has to wonder exactly WHO some of the perpetually disgruntled think could lead the party to win-after-win in Republican districts, which they seem to believe is possible.

Let’s remember that when we lose any election due to Republican voters, we are losing to people who think global warming doesn’t exist because it still snows in the wintertime, people who believe that Trump will bring the coal industry back to its former glory (and reinstating those FotoMart and Blockbuster Video jobs won’t be far behind), people who believe that the Earth is 6,000 years old and that the retirement age should be raised because Noah built the ark after celebrating his 600th birthday.

The fact that Republicans are joyously publicizing their great victory for winning elections they KNEW they would win speaks for itself – and yet the fact that they won those elections by smaller margins than they did a few months ago goes unacknowledged.

If you’re ready to take your ball and go home over last night’s Republican “victories”, perhaps politics is just not for you. Perhaps you’re more comfortable with checkers, because chess is simply beyond your ken. Or maybe you’d just rather discourage your fellow party members because – well, I’ll leave it to those who attempted to discourage their fellow Democrats to explain exactly how “helpful” they were trying to be.

I’m sure it’s a great story. And I, for one, would like to hear the tale.

For some strange reason, the D Party's assessment of a couple of the races was rather different. They poured $$ into the races, and encouraged their allies to do similarly. And the D Party, through their MSM shills, encouraged Ds, Libs, & Progs to think these races would be the start of the Ds' America Is Rejecting Trump comeback. I wonder ... was NG this "wise" before the defeats? Or is this Olympian Pronouncement just Monday morning quarterbacking?

It was a shocker to your fellow mental midgets who have been told over and over again that President Trump is universally hated and that each election is a broad and solid proof that the entire nation is standing on tiptoes in anticipation of a Trump defeat.

It is unimportant.  Why in the world would you think a special election held on a random Tuesday in June would generate the same sort of participation as a general election held in November of an election year?  The fact is - really - that that socially immature democrat non-resident of the Georgia 6th district was suppose to overwhelm the political world with his amazing win, and it didn't happen at all.  He lost BIGLY.  And now you, NanceGregg, are trying once again to change reality to fit your worldview.  More dishonesty and more misleading is not the way.

Oo! Oo! Please! Let those UMW people know that the Ds will continue to try to kill their jobs! That should play well in states like WV, PA, OH, and MT (just off the top of my head)! And be sure to think up more jobs the Ds plan to kill and let those workers know of the Ds' job-killing plans for their industries!

Chill out and relax dummies. The polls say you will win a super majority in both houses in 2018 and there will also be a special run off for Hitlery to get a second chance at the White House that she will win in a land slide.

Pot will be made legal and free for those on welfare and low income, student loans will be forgiven and reparations will be made to all dimocrats  for the pain & suffering during the Trump administration.

So sit back, take a couple more hits :stoner: and chill out.

Looks like NG is unaware that humans can battle computers to a draw in Checkers, quite easily.  It has 39-trillion positional endgame outcomes after the first move. So which is the more 'comfortable' game to play?  Checkers or Chess?

"Everybody better snap in line and march in lockstep!!"

Nance had to be in the Gestapo in a former life.

Oh, and when it comes to what your fellow primitives say, by all means don't let that stop you from slapping yourself upside the head with a brick. I mean, it's not like anything in your head would be damaged, but it might take everyone's focus away from that ugly mug of yours.
