Dems Wonder...When Do We Get To Win?

[Zambroski]

Boo Hoo!

Not sure if anybody else has been following this, but in KS last week, the Dems lost big (then blamed their own party which was something new). Now, in a suburb north of Atlanta, there has been a really highly contested seat up for grabs.  One that has been an R seat for decades. The Dems have decided to call this their "getting back at Trump" race and dumped millions into it as well as Hollywood jumping on the bandwagon and advertising like hell to "Oust Trump".  MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND HOLLYWOOD ADVERTISING FOR THEM!!!  Trump sent out a couple of Tweets and fucked them all up.   They needed a full 50+% to win outright...now it is going to a run off which is not supposed to favor the Dems.  Funny thing is, he ran against a slew of fucked up R's!

So....I guess the "Opposition Party" agenda of an anti-Trump strategy is not gonna get it done.  When are they gonna "get it" I wonder? 2018?  I doubt it....they are gonna sacrifice it all out of their own outrage!  They are our own "crazy fat kid"!

For the fun of it...here's the Politico piece:

“Make Trump Furious” is what he's running on  

[Cold War]

Lol,.  Just saw the Samuel Jackson ad.

Relying on pulp fiction fame.

Forget about all your local issues.....Just be a bad ass mother fucker and make a symbolic vote against Trump.

[Skidooski]

Sounds like they are on the 3rd stage of grief. Only two more to go  

[Zambroski]

It's interesting as hell.  I've got some friends there.  The Dems are absolutely flooding the local radio with anti-Trump rhetoric.  One after the other!  Like the Pres race....all that hate and pettiness is working against them.  They still just can't figure it out.  Anti-Trump is NOT a plan Americans are impressed with enough to switch to blue.  But apparently, it's enough to switch many to red.  Who wants to be a little liberal hater anyway?  Ick.

[Cold War]

It is really odd. 

Do you think Hollywood Liberals have researched the local issues?   Know anything about the candidate they are endorsing, other than he has a D?

I really liked him that pulp fiction movie..........So, I will do what he says.

2. Election Tampering by Democratic Officials : On November 9th, Irving Slosberg was caught by police in illegal posession of an official state voting machine in his car. Slosberg, a democratic member of the Florida state legislature, was already under investigation for allegations that he tampered with his own election by buying votes. Having illegally removed a voting machine from a polling place, Slosberg had the ability to create additional ballots, 



Missing Voting Mechanism Recovered 
Police Say Florida State Rep. Irving Slosberg, a Democrat, Had a "Votomatic" in His Car  
By Chris Vlasto and David Ruppe

Nov. 15 Several days after presidential votes were tallied in what has become the hotbed of Florida’s post-election confusion, police in Palm Beach County confiscated a ballot-box mechanism from the car of a well-known local Democrat.

The mechanism, called a “Votomatic,” did not contain any ballots. It’s a device used on some types of ballot boxes to punch votes through ballot cards, which are then tallied by computers.

According to a police report filed at the Palm Beach County sheriff’s office and obtained by ABCNEWS, Irving Slosberg, 53, pulled the mechanism from his car and handed it over to police on Nov. 11 after denying to a county government employee that he had it.

When told of the incident, Palm Beach County’s supervisor of elections, Theresa LePore, declined to press charges, according to the report. “She noted that this incident did occur during the hand count of the presidential election and LePore stated she did not wish to pursue further this matter at this time due to extenuating circumstances,” it said. No further action was taken. 

County Official Contacts Authorities 
Slosberg, a 53-year-old resident of nearby Boca Raton who owns a handbag company, recently won a seat in the state Legislature amid allegations he tried to buy his election. The officer who filed the report, Deputy Sheriff Daniel Grose, had been working a special elections detail when he was contacted by Denise Cote, director of public affairs for Palm Beach County. Cote said she believed Slosberg had an official Palm Beach County ballot box, according to the police report.

Cote told the deputy she first wanted to speak with Slosberg alone to convince him to give the machinery back, but she asked the officer to stand by. Ten minutes later, Cote returned to the officer and said Slosberg had become confrontational and denied having the mechanism.

“I asked Mr. Slosberg to return it to me, and he said no, he intended to use it,” Cote told ABCNEWS.com. She said Slosberg did not say how he wanted to use it and he declined to say how he had obtained it.

“I was told by the county’s attorney’s office that it must have been taken from a voting booth, because there was no other way that he could have obtained it,” Cote said. When the officer asked Slosberg whether he had the item, Slosberg led the officer to his car and handed over the Votomatic, according to the police report. 

Elected After a Recount 
Slosberg won his new seat during a heated and extremely close election.

Just days before a Democratic runoff, which he won, his opponent, incumbent Curt Levine, filed a state ethics complaint, accusing Slosberg of trying to buy the election by giving away thousands of handbags and paying retirees phony consulting fees.

Slosberg’s defeat of Levine practically guaranteed him a term that reportedly pays nearly $27,000 a year for representing the Boca Raton district. On Nov. 7, he defeated a lesser-known write-in candidate, Robert A. Sloan III, in the general election.

In the primary election, Slosberg had barely squeaked past Levine. He reportedly had 50.5 percent of the votes to Levine’s 49.5 percent. Slosberg was declared the winner after a recount of the votes. 

'It Disappeared’ 
A Palm Beach Post political columnist wrote Monday that Slosberg had been “schlepping” the mechanism around the county government center “like a traveling election equipment salesman.”

“He was happy to provide a demonstration of the county’s ballot problems for anyone with a TV camera last week,” wrote columnist George Bennett.

But Slosberg was no longer toting the visual aid Saturday night, after Mary McCarty, a Palm Beach County commissioner, demanded to know how he got his hands on a piece of official county voting machinery, Bennett wrote.

“It disappeared,” Slosberg said Sunday when asked about the Machine.
