In the primary.

1. No surprise.

[geardaddy]

2. Yep, not really.

I saw way more Melton-Meux signs in my neighborhood, but the district as a whole supports her.
I hope she improves and takes some of the criticism to heart. I voted for her, because I thought she deserved a chance to improve.

4. Sometimes, it is good to get some pushback. Maybe she will learn from this primary

and realize she needs to consider her constituents first.

8. I hope so.

But I also hope she continues her push to progressive ideals.

5. Same here.

I was also kind of put off by the PAC ads for Melton-Meux, and the fact that this PAC was getting money from Republicans. Made me wonder what MM's agenda was. I'm not a huge fan of Omar but I wanted give her a chance to get her act together, stop showboating and develop some better political instincts.

9. The PAC ads were nasty.

and I felt that his own ads didn't really promote his progressive bona fides.

3. Yup

6. I hope this makes Trump's head explode

And I'm glad she won with or without the expolsion.

7. Me too!
