Again, Trump dons his rosy red ego glasses to ignore reality



1. It wasn't a "Great win" - Estes' win represented a 20 point dem swing
2. He didn't easily win
3. Dems did not spend heavily
4. Dems realistically didn't expect to win - hope was there - but Kansas is blood red

response. Remember Trump met with one of the Koch Brothers before he left his Mansion last week. The district where this Election was held,is home base for the Koch Empire.


Talk about a Guy running a campaign on a shoe string,and to get within in 6-7%,wow.

He has to exaggerate or make shit up even when the truth supports his position, which is very very rare.

It is beyond any doubt he is a deeply sick, twisted, criminal. This is clear to the world.

What the problem is that he has so much support. Kind of like the neighbor dog has rabies, is going around biting people, and for some ridiculous reason, half of the neighborhood is good with that.

In blood-red Koch Kansas territory, and of COURSE the pathological LIAR tRumputin's lying yet again to appeal to his base of deplorables. Dem Thompson asked for money from Dems, and they said NOPE, sorry. Also, it wasn't a blow-out either. The lying pathological liar's lying again as per.

Normally not one to sit and wait to see people's demises, but I do long for the day when karma opens it's jaws real wide (It has to, because of the size of that fat rump) and takes a HUGE bite out of that fat, nasty Grand Canyon sized backside of his some day.
