    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            R to D flip, which is ironic since Lake is a D to R flip

              I think she showed a lot of promise. Articulate, energetic and a lot of her volunteers were young people. Her opponent refused to debate her.

              Maybe all Demonrats will soon adopt the Biden Basement Strategy.

                Why mess with a winning strategy?

                  I know next to nothing about her stances - but it's nice to see team Trump lose another one.

                  Hopefully creates space for other Republicans by solidifying Trump's brand as electoral toxic.

                  R's should have had this one in the bag.

                        The moment where Lake lost:

                        There's a difference between thinking something and saying it, potentially pissing off a bunch of people.

                        She didn't appreciate that difference with this comment.

                            Critiquing the basement strategy misses the fact that the folks who are losing are losing all by themselves. They’re not winning people over. They are the ones who are failing here.

                            Maybe they’re the ones who need to change what they’re saying? Well, not maybe, obviously. At least it should be obvious.

                            I was only joking

                              It’s good to see Trumpiness unequivocally rejected. Let’s rip the bandaid off and proceed with better candidates. This would be a painful lesson to have to relearn next election.

                              Education is extremely important.
