There are reports that the border patrol is being disarmed in a "refubishing" program that leaves them borrowing guns while the police have been given armored vehicles and all sorts of guns. At least one anti-gun person ran against Republicans who trounced them. Due to political skills that were decisive, Democrat Bruce Braley, Iowa Senate gaffed BADLY when he called Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) a "farmer from Iowa." Foot-in-mouth Braley even eliminated his face from TV ads and relentlessly bashed and lashed out at Iowa state Sen. Joni Ernst (R). Ernst won by a whopping eight-point margin after being picked to lose. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) beat Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes, Kentucky Senate by 15 points. Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes refused twice to say whether she voted for President Obama which meant that she had, in fact, voted stupidly. Rep. Chris Gibson (R-N.Y.) beat Democrat Sean Eldridge, who is the wealthy gay husband of Facebook co-founder and New Republic owner gay Chris Hughes for a win in New York’s 18th District Sean Eldridge put $2.8 million of his own money into the campaign, but saw a terrible return on his investment as he lost by an astounding 30 points. Political Director of Freedom to Marry. Hughes and Eldridge announced their engagement in January 2011 at a reception in support of Freedom to Marry. They married on June 30, 2012. The couple bought a $2 million residence in New York's 19th congressional district with the reported purpose of permitting Eldridge to run for the Congressional seat as a "carpetbagger" there against centrist and straight guy Gibson. Rep. Michael Grimm (R-N.Y.) was hit with a 20-count federal indictment and caught-on-camera threatening to throw a local reporter off a balcony. For {DEMON-CAT) Democrat Domenic Recchia, running in New York’s 11th District, the Brooklyn-based former New York City councilman, it seemed like an easy win. Then Domenic Recchia would not answer standard policy questions from the local media, forcing many local papers to endorse Grimm in spite of his legal woes. The editorial board of The Daily News endorsed Grimm and described the Democrat as "a candidate so dumb, ill-informed, evasive and inarticulate that voting for a thuggish Republican who could wind up in a prison jumpsuit starts to make rational sense." Republican Steve Southerland is one of the few Republicans who ran a John McCain style loser race to lose in the 2014 election for Florida’s 2nd District beaten by Gwen Graham. Maybe he was taught by Mitt Romney and John McCain about just what to say to be a SURE LOSER. Republican Steve Southerland put down Graham's fundraiser with a wisecrack about women attending a “lingerie shower.” Centrist Republican Charlie Baker was exactly the type of GOP nominee who could win in the Bay State so he beat Democrat Martha Coakley, for Massachusetts Governor After Sen. Max (Obamacare Albatross draper) Baucus (D-Mont.)wisely decided to retire, lieutenant governor Democrat John Walsh, decided to stink up the race for the Montana Senate. Smelling "blood in the water", former Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer (D)wisely decided not to run. Republicans pulled an Obama when they TRASHED Walsh's campaign by exposing that he'd plagiarized much of his Army War College master's thesis. Walsh resigned in disgrace weeks later, with shouts of "GOOD RIDDANCE". Republican Monica Wehby, a pediatric neurosurgeon, was tarnished with ex-husband and a former boyfriend had both filed police reports alleging harassment. Due to Obama's strategy, it was suspected as a RIGGED deal. Wehby’s was TRASHED and she lost by nearly 20 points. Was she really a shrew? We will never know but Sheila Jackson Lee would be amused to be accused since she has apparently never been interested in a husband or a boyfriend and has a reputation for allegedly harassing anybody within range that is human.
