Also, Shah, the White House spokesman called the result "essentially a tie." - must be a new definition of "tie" I hadn’t come across before... :D

Oh yes, I forgot - "alternative facts"...

What the hell are you going on about ?

It was a tie. Less than a thousand votes in it, was not even more than 0.5%, which triggers a recount. That is a tie. :rolleyes:

Anything to say about the Texas Senate Primary vote, the other week where Ted Cruz got twice the amount the Democrat candidate did?

Ted Cruz got 1.3 Million votes btw.

Nothing to say about the Tennessee State Senate Seat, GOP candidate won pretty big margin of votes there?

It's a State race, so there is no automatic recount.

State law doesn't automatically mandate a recount because it is a single district and not a statewide race, according to Wanda Murren, a spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Department of State.
A tie is when contestants finish at the same time or score the same number of points - in this case, one got more votes than the other, so that's a win, not a tie...

Ted Cruz vs Democrat - erm, they were in separate Primaries for being the Republican or Democrat candidate - they weren't competing against each other...

Tennessee State Senate seat - very safe Republican seat - mind you, so were Alabama and Penn District 18 supposed to be...

I am well aware of that and it does not make any difference to original point I made.

As for the rest of your post, it's still 5-1 to the Republicans for Congressional races since Trump was elected. I remember Democrats spending over 50 Million in one of them and still losing. :rolleyes:

You misremembered.

It was in Georgia 6th District which Republicans held since 1992, and the Dems spent around $30 million and Republicans $25 million, with the Republican majority being reduced from 62%/38% to 52%/48%.

So much winning...

The article seems to suggest that this is routine for this type of investigation.

It is.

Few lines coming out of the U.S at moment...

Trump has or is firing H.R McMaster. His National Security Advisor. (Though Press Secretary has tweeted to say she’s asked Trump and there are no changes at NSC)).

Sessions is being urged to fire Deputy FBI Director Andy McCabe by people within the FBI itself, before he retires on Sunday, he was placed on leave in early Feb. He cannot claim his pension if he is fired.

Calls for Second Special Counsel growing to prosecute individuals for FISA Abuses on Carter Page.

OIG report expected imminently.

Hillary Clinton breaks wrist slipping in the bath.

Rubbish, I did no such thing. My point still stands, you misremembering your own posts. A win is a win. :rolleyes:

It is 5-1. So yes, still so much winning for the GOP.

BREAKING: Deputy FBI Director, Andrew McCabe has been fired by U.S Attorney General Jeff Session, days before he was eligible to collect his lifetime retirement pension. He was terminated on the recommendation of the OIG and the FBI themselves for alleged misconduct during the FBI Investigation of Hillary Clinton.

I/You would be more ill under Hillary.

I certainly feel we all dodged a bullet under that Crooked one. I mean she could have been President and would have been falling over all the time. She is like on her 90th fall this week. She almost fell arse over tit, falling down some steps in India, she had to be helped down, then we learns she fell in the bath, breaking one of her wrists., she injured herself when she was here in London, not that long ago, again falling/tripping on some steps. IMO she has a serious illness she is keeping from the people, that’s her right now, but she could have been President.

Jeepers Mick there's no need to delight at the thought of someone being unwell.

Why not?

For months the liberals, I'm with her brigade and Fake News Media in the U.S, CNN and MSNBC ran on the 25th Amendment attempt that Trump being medically unfit for office, he had a check up by the same medic who examined Obama and he declared Trump medically fit for office.

Clinton is falling about the place everywhere, had she won, she would be sitting out her term falling about every where.
