I guess we can throw out everything before written language as well, because according to you, it's not history. And what if the language isn't readable, like how many people know hieroglyphs? Not history either apparently.

Please don't try to put words in my mouth. If you would like to know what I think, just ask me.

Pretty sure that history is more properly written in books or essays.

Sorry, that's a Fake News. The Dems were claiming they'd win the seat back. As they have in most of these special elections. Is it 2-8 now or 3-9? I forget. Remember GA-6?

Presidential Races aren't Congressional Races. And it's winner take all, so losing by 4 pts is still losing, big time. And state legislative runs, especially in the handful of Deep Blue jerrymandered districts, is a nothing burger. The Republicans are so dominant on the State level they can only lose seats at this point.

Like I told whatshis face, incumbent-free special mid-term year elections are a really bad gauge of support, and Democrats aren't exactly cleaning up everywhere.

You haven't listed a single historian who supports your view, just saying they do doesn't mean shit.

Museums are places where history is on display right? Places like the Smithsonian? Let's take a look at their list of historical artifacts...

What's the most important historical artifact from Easter Island? The Moai STATUES...

Let's see what the definition of an artifact is:

You running your mouth on a forum is nothing new, blowhards have turned internet boards into unintelligible piles of refuse for decades. You actually believing you're doing anything more than trying to win an argument you are dead wrong about, that level of self-delusion might be.

That's complete BS. No Dems were saying they were going to win the seat back. Everyone knew that was virtually impossible in that district. It's a +25 R district.

But local Democrats say they believe they're in the middle of a political sea change that will turn Arizona into a midterm battleground and marquee presidential swing state.
"I believe, bottom-line, we can win," said Felecia Rotellini, the Arizona Democratic Party chairwoman.
It's an admission Democrats elsewhere have been hesitant to make in a series of House special elections in deep-red districts over the last year.

No kidding. And Dems over performing by 17 pts in race after race is going to equal a LOT of winner take all wins in the midterms.

Actually they are an excellent predictor of mid terms. Data has proven this.

"Everybody knew", just not the AZ Dem Party head, eh?

Presidential Elections aren't Congressional special elections with no incumbent running. The opposition party almost always does better in off-year elections, especially off-year elections.

Hillary has a 90% chance of winning, NYT and the Genius Never Wrong Cohen, morning of Election Day 2016.
