Boy that must hurt.
wtfjapan
see difficult to win elections when the electoral college isnt a factor. democracy wins again
wtfjapan
“That hasn’t changed, and that’s the way we’ve been governing.”
seems like the purple vote is where people want to be, Trumps endorsements seem to be turning people off, still 1 yrs to go still much more corruption to expose.
Pukey2
Oh dear!

Soliciting a foreign goberent for campaign help is an impeachable offense.
It wasn't a transcript, it was a partial summary. Try again.

Someone set their Maytag to "Full Spin"....
He lost big time and was forced to admit it....
During a rally Monday evening in Lexington, Kentucky, President Donald Trump urged his fans to go out and vote for incumbent Gov. Matt Bevin (R), warning them that a high-profile loss in a state he won by 30 points in 2016 “sends a really bad message” and pleading, “you can’t let that happen to me!”
Message sent Donnie - You're a Loser!
wtfjapan
but their governor is about as conservative of a liberal as one could be.
and thats exactly what he describes himself a purple half way in the middle,
its clear people have had enough of Trumps far right wing nutter polices they want to settle for somebody in between
Dump Trump 2020

I don't even have access to those channels. I read more balanced news, from a few different countries. They aren't painting a good picture for Trump.
That said, Americans are stuck in their own media bubble, both the CNN watchers and the Fox news watchers Neither of them gets anything close to balanced news. Those of us outside of the US get more balanced reporting.

Considering that the Republicans have lost over 1000 seats in elections in the past three years, they should be starting to sweat. Last time that happened - to the democrats - the Republicans took the presidency on the next election. Here we are with the tables turned, and an election coming in less than a year...
Sneezy
Democrats flipped tons of seats two weeks ago. You didn't say "beers on me" then, you and your far-right pals just said "doesn't count", and made excuses as to why the GOP getting its butt kicked was actually great news for Trump. Just like how you regularly assert that 6% is better than 90%.

To benefit his campaign against Biden.

Trumplets trying to project a smack down as a victory.
Hahahahahaha

Donnie LOSING again - its become a daily mantra for him...
Getting killed in the impeachment hearings....
Having to listen to Sondland dime him out next week...
Rick Perry intervening of behalf of a couple of his Texas buds with Ukraine to get them a sweetheart oil deal... Can you believe that! After trying to smear Hunter Biden, Rick Perry goes out and does far worse - and leaves the evidence there for all to see. That's a big time "Whoops"....
His brother from another mother Stone gets his time in the dock and has the book thrown at him...and ties Trump, Don Jr, and others to Assaunge and Wikileaks - and Russia - again...
Crazy Rudy's Ukraine partner Parnas has flipped and is now cooperating and talking about the bribe - and about his various meetings with Donnie - all the while Donnie says "I don't know him very well"...
And he still has to worry whether John "The Disaster" Bolton will seek a little payback for the insults and tell us all about the "drug deal"...
And he loses Kentucky and now Louisiana...after taking his third rate Lounge Act there...
Wow, that's major losing and humiliation....

I think the Fox News watchers here are projecting. There are so many replies along the lines of seeing the only alternative to the partisan trash of Fox as CNN or other partisan media.
The idea of not being Punch or Judy doesn’t cross their minds. Serrano is constantly linking to Carlson, Hannity and Judge Jippy or whoever and expecting people to take this idiocy seriously.
lincolnman
Pretty much every media outlet except Fox and Russia Today...
And they're all Trump's handpicked team - Repub on Repub warfare - its great...
That what the US taxpayer said when asking when Mexico is going to pay for the wall...
Good advice for Trump, Crazy Rudy and Sondland - well, they can commiserate together at Rikers Island...

Blacklabel: "Disappointing that YET ANOTHER his choice couldnt (sic) win BECAUSE OF HIM..."
Fixed it for you!

Trump loses again! fu fu fu
wtfjapan
As I said he is still winning the state in 2020.
still winning that state doesn't mean winning the election, dont let your over confidence or the illusion of it fool you, did not work well with Hillary in 2016
Dump Trump 2020

Donnie loves a spanking. You know he like it. A better term would be like a bucket of ice water splashed on his face!
ulysses
He might be in prison in 2020!!!!
ulysses
For being a dumb criminal.
You forgot to add ‘ to prison’
Serrano
To benefit his campaign against Biden.
No, to benefit people in both the U.S. and Ukraine. He doesn't need any help in beating Sleepy Joe like a drum, that I can tell you.
He ( Trump ) might be in prison in 2020!!!!
For what? Irritating anti-Trumpers?
Dump Trump 2020
Trump 2020 all the way
Serrano
( Trump ) Getting killed in the impeachment hearings....
Sure, if you watch CNN or MSNBC. All you hear is "bombshell testimony," lol, all I hear is
Heard it from a friend who....
Heard it from a friend who...
Heard it from another...
Seriously, so far they ain't got nothing. They should have had some more rehearsals in the basement before taking their act public.

How? Hardly a win, it’s a continuation, flip a seat, then beer is on me.
What?
Over 100 million do, now that’s power CNN and msnbc wish they had.
bass4funk
He won “re-election” it’s not technically a win for Dems, at least a new win or a loss for Trump because he didn’t pick up a new gubernatorial seat.
Blacklabel
As I said he is still winning the state in 2020.
bass4funk
No, you misunderstood:
How? Hardly a win, it’s a continuation, flip a seat, then beer is on me.
Which is textbook true.
I don’t.
Exactly.
Blacklabel
Trump is still without a doubt winning Louisiana in 2020. Disappointing that his choice couldnt win, but their governor is about as conservative of a liberal as one could be.
Serrano
Soliciting a foreign goberent ( government? ) for campaign help is an impeachable offense.
Trump was asking Zelensky to look into corruption. He doesn't need any help with his campaign, especially against Biden. Try again.
It wasn't a transcript, it was a partial summary
OK, what exact words of the "partial summary" are you saying is soliciting a foreign gov't for campaign help? Be specific now.
Serrano
Edwards, a West Point graduate, opposes gun restrictions, signed one of the nation’s strictest abortion bans and dismissed the impeachment effort as a distraction.
The guy does have his good points.
dismissed the impeachment effort as a distraction.
Was there anything impeachable or illegal about Trump's phone call? Anyone who has read the transcript and has common sense would say no.
Where is the investigation of Biden? That is the quid pro quo in this whole fiasco.
Trump 2020 all the way
