Midknight Review -- new and revised: Only in the tin-foil hat world of the Democrats is a 7 point loss billed as a victory. Amazing.

Only in the tin-foil hat world of the Democrats is a 7 point loss billed as a victory. Amazing.

This season’s special congressional elections are being heralded as a test of whether newly energized Democrats will fare better with an unpopular Republican president.

So far, the Democrats are passing the test.

On Tuesday, Republicans won an unexpectedly close race in Kansas’ Fourth Congressional District. The Republican Ron Estes won by seven points over James Thompson, even though President Trump won the district by 27 points in November.*

Notes: Never mind tat Estes was a less than perfect candidate, did not run a good campaign, and ran on sort notice. His Democrat challenger has known he would be the opposition candidate for some time, and, spent several million in his failed attempt to take this seat for the Dems. Thompson has already announced his candidacy for this seat, in 2018.

Let's return the favor, shall we?

CLINTON: You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. That’s why I believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength. And you heard how the Republican members led by Mitch McConnell, the president really demeaned the confirmation process.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
