    Can’t wait for her statesman-like - nay, Churchillian - concession speech.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      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.

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

                      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.

                                        Hard to make a mistake when you're running a Biden Basement campaign. So, is that what we want, mayonnaise and white bread politics? No original thinking, no charismatic candidates? It's Fetterman & Hobbs, almost unable or unwilling to speak, letting their large war chests buy their messaging through all forms of media?

                                        What I'd like is an end to the conspiracy theorists, whackjobs, and followers of the Trump personality cu*t .

                                        YMMV.

                                        Nice deflection. Are you unwilling or unable to answer the question?

                                        OK, how about this - If you'd stop selecting shitty candidates, you wouldn't have to start resorting to unsubstantiated claims of election fraud to explain away your party's failure.

                                        The people you're praising are the ones losing the elections. You need to pick different people. Charisma and new ideas are great, however if you're losing elections, then there's a reason. Blaming it on cheating isn't really cutting it - the people who do so are the ones losing, so they're not exactly unbiased.

                                        I was only joking

                                          I don't think Lake is a shitty candidate. I've read her platform, I've watched her speak a few times and she's very articulate. I think she stuck her foot in her mouth with the McCain comment, but saying she's a shitty candidate shows just how stupid or ignorant you are. For the moment, my money is on ignorant.

                                          Change my mind.
