Election Did Not Swing Her Way

[Blind Gossip] This female celebrity was very upset that her candidate did not win yesterday!

She’s really mad [The Candidate] didn’t win. She kept saying, “That’s just not right!”

However, that does not mean that she will be discouraged from participating in political support in the future. Quite the contrary.

She’ll double down on the next one she supports.

    Swifty/Bresden

    I LOATHEEEE celebs who talk politics. I refuse to support the work of those who do.

    Never missed voting in an election in the last 35 yrs.

  2. NativeAtlantaGirl says

    I (obvs) am from Georgia. Abrams was great at stirring up misinformation. Kemp was enforcing the voting laws the Democratic Georgia legislature enacted in the 90s. It requires the voter rolls to be updated every odd-numbered year. The lawsuit was resolved in June 2018, so the “purge” happened in July

    It takes SEVEN years of not voting to be removed, they send notice to contact the SOS office (in person or online) to confirm status. The Republican legislature enacted online voter…

    I’m guessing Milano for Robert Francis O’Rourke. He can call himself what he likes but his “name” is not Beto – it’s Robert. In fact, the real person of Hispanic origin in that race was Ted Cruz, whether the Left wants to believe it or not.
    What got me so riled up was the lack of support for people of non-white origin who *weren’t* on the left that were running for office like James running for Senate in MI. Where was the media on THAT or several of the other races? SMH…

  4. felicia says

    It’s a major pet peeve when people are shocked their fav actor/actress/singer/celeb endorsed a democrat. Spoiler alert: most of them are big fat glittery LIBERALS and you don’t need to comment on their stuff “unfollowed because I’m voting red”

  5. JHntr113 says

    Um… All of them? Did *any* pol backed by a Hollyweirdo win? These entertainers need to go to the back ton their jobs and juggle a couple of plates or something.

    • TruePatriot says

      LOL -you know it’s funny because I watched a video earlier that was talking about this very subject. There was literally zero that this presenter could find who had huge celebrity backing that won & he was pointing out that they hadn’t learned *anything* from the 2016 campaign that we Americans do not care what they think & are not going to listen to their advice.
      It seems more folks have listened to me on my YT videos as I’ve a Master’s in PoliSci & PhD in History. Too funny!!

  8. celebiddy says

    I hope this is Oprah and not Tay Tay (please don’t taint my love for you by doubling down on being a democratic shill!)

    I’m very excited that the republicans gained seats in the senate! Unhappy that dems got the house, but they never get anything done there anyway. Pleased that florida and texas stayed red! Bummed about gavin newson, i was pulling for john cox.

    Celebrity: Taylor Swift

    Candidate: Bredesen

    The blind implies that people would think she’d be discouraged from speaking out in politics again after the loss. Oprah, Beyoncé, Alyssa Milano, etc. They’re all typically vocal on their politics. Taylor was more reluctant. She fits more than the others mentioned.

    And yes, I voted. I voted Democrat and I’m actually quite optimistic about the results, wins and losses.

    • spaceship says

      I just hope people voted for the right reasons, to better our country, not because some celeb that has an agenda, told them who to vote for! It’s scary to think that some voted just because of hatred for our President, and just following some trend! We have had enough divisiveness, anger, hatred, etc, going on in our country, and it’s time to stop all of it, and work together for the good of the country! We are living in scary times, and I’m praying that things get better, not worse! Wake up!

    Election Result: The Tennessee Senate Race

  14. jrizzo says

    Either Oprah with Stacey Abrams or Taylor Swift with Phil Bredesen.

    Of course I voted! I was particularly sad about Beto O’Rourke, but overall it was a good night for the Dems, especially in the House, and we had some historical firsts (first gay governor in Colorado, lesbian Native American rep in Kansas, youngest woman ever elected to the House in New York), so I’m satisfied, if disappointed in a few races.

    • PGreen says

      Some AMAZING firsts. There’s a political party that fought to bring the first Muslim women to Congress, the first openly gay governor to a state, the first Native American women to Congress, and a number of “first woman to…” “first gay/lesbian to…” “first African American to…” “first Latina woman to…” hold various offices. That same party fought with vigor to get more people the ability to exercise their right to vote.

      Then there’s a political party who backed and elected…

  16. Raoul Duke says

    Oprah.
    I could totally see Oprah flabbergasted and angry that some thing/place/person she endorses doesn’t prevail.

    She has been off primetime tv since like 2011, she is still Oprah but isn’t so relevant. She was able to reach a way broader audience when she was on daytime tv and was at height of Oprahdom during the Obama campaign. More people listened to her back then when her opinions and views were easily accessible. A whole new generation is coming up who are only vaguely aware of…

    • spaceship says

      And I think that she lived to regret the Obama backing, because rumors are they treated her like **** once they got elected and into the white house.

  17. lanter says

    Taylor Swift. Good for her, whatever gets young people to the polls is fine with me..
    Phil Bredesen
    Absolutely I voted, just as I have in (almost) every election since turning 18. I was thrilled to see so many progressive women elected, and for the Democrats to take the House. Checks and balances are needed now more than ever.

  24. GretaGuesses says

    Probably Taylor Swift. I don’t know why celebrities think that we care about who they endorse.

    The candidate is the guy that ran against Marsha Blackburn.

    Voted. I was happy that the GOP kept the Senate and even gained seats. That doesn’t happen often. In the first midterms of Clinton’s presidency he lost the Senate and lost about 54 seats in the House. Obama lost both the House & Senate too, losing about 63 House seats. So actually last night was a good referendum on President Trump.

  30. GooglyMoogly says

    Swifty

    I voted. I was glad to see some Dems take office and I’m happy how 2020 will be shaping up….

  31. Monysmom says

    Beyonce and Beto O’Rourke

    I was unhappy about his loss, and the loss of Abrams and Gillum as well

  32. CuriousGeorgette says

    Taylor Swift. Ugh, why?! I liked her so much better before she started talking politics. One of the things I admired about her was not being political.
    And yes, I voted yesterday. Some results I was happy about, others not so much. That’s life. I think voting is important, I just don’t like celebrities making it their business to tell us who to vote for or push agendas on us.

  35. MinnieMe says

    Oprah
    Stacy Abrams
    I early voted on the first day I could. I’m relatively happy, but the local election didn’t go as I had hoped. State election did.

  36. zappy2050 says

    Oprah Winfrey and Stacy Abrahams. The truth is most of these endorsements came too late, Why not endorse the person 2-3 months before election – when most people make up their minds (that is what studies show) – not the week before or the day of (Beyonce ain’t the smartest bulb in the pack, so we will forgive her for that one).

  39. newyorkcity17 says

    Oprah and Stacey Abrams.

    I did vote yesterday! I was incredibly happy for the changes that happened in Kansas, and Wisconsin. Unhappy about the loss of a few senate seats, but ecstatic about the House gains! 🙂

  40. High Steppa says

    Oprah and Stacey someone who ran for the governor of GA.
    I voted. I was especially happy that Ted Cruz won over the fake Hispanic “Beto.”

    Most Upset: Tie between Georgia Governor’s Race and Beto O’Rourke losing to Ted Cruz

  46. beachchick218 says

    Any democrat supporter. When will these “entertainers” realize we pay them to ENTERTAIN. Not to bloviate about their ill-informed political thoughts. Trump is doing great and now we can continue seating great judges for decades to come! These judges will be sitting on the bench much longer than these kook’s careers will last. Nice comforting thought.

    Celebrity: Oprah

    The Candidate: Stacey Abrams

    [Optional] Did you vote yesterday? Which particular election result were you especially happy or unhappy about? Please keep your comments civil.

    I didn’t vote because I’m not a citizen. Really bummed for Gillum, which seemed like a clear favorite. and he’s also so handsome. Glad the Dem took the House, so now all Trump can do is appoint right-wing judges to the courts, but nothing more.

  51. Pinkieswear says

    Oprah

    I voted.

    I’m not too upset. Sometimes things go my way, and sometimes they don’t. It all evens out eventually.

  53. Kerzep says

    Oprah

    Stacy Abrams

    Most shocked that Ted Cruz won: Trump called him names, accused his father of participating in the JFK assassination and called his wife ugly – but yet Ted calls on him for help. Pathetic – not anyone I would vote for.

  54. VegasMike says

    Taylor Swift/Marsha Blackburn

    Optional – Yes, voted!

    Was THRILLED that Zach Wahls got elected to Iowa State House.
    Disappointed that Beto lost… Hoping we haven’t seen the last of him!!

  57. TeacherKat says

    Taylor Swift?

    Optional: most upset about prop 6 not passing in California. We already payed taxes on gas, and registration and licence fees. But our government is constantly spending beyond their means, so they were taking that money to pay for other things. It has been projected that we can end up paying 2$ in taxes for a gallon of gas by 2021. Our vehicle registion and licence fees went up as well. When is it enough? Not to mention the deceptive tactics the govt employed…

  58. ThatsHot says

    Taylor Swift : ( she has a right to be upset

    I was happy about the amount of women who made history yesterday but really upset about Beto’s loss.

  61. Laparent says

    Alyssa Milano is nursing a broken heart over Beto. By all means, Hollywood, double down. We’ll all benefit from 4 more years of Trump.

  62. Doogy Howzer says

    Alyssa Milano??? Dunno

    Why would I take the political advice of an uneducated entertainer? If anything, I would vote *opposite* of him/her….

  63. Sassymom says

    Oprah??

    Happy Josh Hawley won in Missouri.
    Air Claire needed to go. She was so out of touch with the hard working people of the state.

  67. GeorgiaR says

    Celebrity is Beyonce and Candidate is Beto O’Rourke. Yes, I voted yesterday. Not really happy or unhappy at results because I think it’s the will of the people and not my personal interests. But I live in California and am disappointed that the outrageous gas tax wasn’t repealed.

  69. ILUVCA4evr says

    Celebrity: Taylor Swift

    The Candidate:former Gov. Phil Bredesen

    I voted by mail two weeks ago. The same day my ballot arrived I filled it out and took it to the Post Office and mailed it. Am most disappointed Gavin Newsom won. I don’t hold a high opinion of him from past history…way before he was even Mayor of San Francisco. Big mistake voting him in folks.

  70. globetrotter says

    This screams Taylor Swift. Good for her, I just can’t see why she didn’t publicly support politicians sooner?

  76. FiyahHotFlashy says

    Celebrity: Beyonce

    The Candidate: Beto O’Rourke

    [Optional] Did you vote yesterday? Which particular election result were you especially happy or unhappy about? I VOTED! There was a local race and I voted Republican for the first time in protest. I really DISLIKE the Dem that won and anyone on his team. Not surprised about Texas, Florida and Georgia!

  78. angelbratt says

    Either Taylor Swift and Phil Bredesen
    Or
    Beyoncé and Beto

    Celebrities need to recognize that Hollywood, Hollywood types, and celebrities are done! It is nothing but a cess pool of debauchery. NOBODY cares about their opinions anymore!!!

  82. amagod121 says

    Taylor Swift. Wasn’t she upset the “Beto” “Kennedy” didn’t win?

    Yep, I voted and was gobsmacked that Elizabeth Warren won a second term, considering most of her time will be spent campaigning for President over the next two years. If she were a cake, her yeast would never rise and we’d have a gooey glop of a Senator.

  85. CanaryCry says

    Sarandon?
    Madonna?
    Streisand?
    Gaga?
    Any reality gal?

    Yes, I voted … & my party won in my state! Very happy & relieved …

  86. nycmadam says

    Oprah

    Stacey Abrams, candidate for Governor, Georgia

    I was disappointed that the Democrats lost 2 Senate seats, which will make it virtually impossible to block any extreme right-wing nominations.

  87. NoseyNana2008 says

    I also won’t vote for a hypocrite who proposes gun control, then is supported by armed militants walking the streets with “assault rifles!”

  88. NoseyNana2008 says

    Alyssa Milano
    Beto O’Rourke
    Yes, I did! Most disappointed in the governor’s race in Georgia. Stacey will ruin Georgia if she wins. A sanctuary STATE? I wouldn’t live in a state like that! Most of her votes probably came from folks trying to make ‘history.’ That is not a reason to elect someone. Just because I’m a minority or a woman is not a reason to vote for a candidate. Give me a platform that benefits my family and others. Taxing me to death to pay for illogical dreams is not it.

    Tay Tay

    Candidate – Bredesen

    Yup. Voted mail-in a couple weeks ago. I have small children and voting booths arent practical right now for informed decisions with a curious rambunctious toddler.

    The Candidate: Phil Bredesen for Tennessee Senate seat

    [Optional] Did you vote yesterday? Which particular election result were you especially happy or unhappy about? Please keep your comments civil.

    Yes, I always vote since it’s one of the few times I feel like I have power – the election pretty much went the way I thought it would, especially in my one-party-ruled state. Oh, well – I live on to vote another day!

  95. bubbasbbq says

    This has to be the self important “0” herself, Oprah, supporting who was possibly the worst candidate in the entire country, Abrams. Oprah honey, at some point your voice is just going to turn into background white noise and nobody is going to hear you. Which already could have happened.

  96. badgerette85 says

    T Swift?
    Bredenson for Tenn Gov

    Yes- no surprises in SC. Biggest one to digest is Scott Walker for third term as WIS gov. Have personal connections and believe the voters made a big mistake. Just ask all the people that moved from south of the border.

    Celebrity: Beyonce
    Candidate: Beto O’Rourke
    Optional: YES! Happy that the Dems took back the House.

    • gossipzillaisback says

      She endorsed him on Tuesday afternoon… hardly what I’d say a passionate supporter. I really don’t get making an endorsement on election day – your effect will be minimal, and you’ll still gonna get the anger of the other side’s supporters.

  102. shelaur22 says

    I think this is Oprah and her gubernatorial candidate in GA. There were some voting shenanigans in that state last night.

    • afternoondelight says

      There were no shenanigans. Abrams is a sore loser. Don’t make comments like that without proof. Abrams has absolutely no proof anything nefarious happened.

    • Holivexer says

      Hardly. If anything, there were lots of absentee ballots from southwest Georgia that are unaccounted for after Hurricane Michael. Most of Georgia outside of Atlanta is uber-conservative. A run-off between the two will more than likely further solidify Kemp’s win.

  105. Flanky says

    Lol, this is definitely oprah and the governor’s race in georgia. Her pick got beat fair and square and (candidate) was a classless loser about it. Oprah is an awful person and whoever she supports deserves to lose.

  107. xxNYGirl says

    Celebrity: Oprah

    The Candidate: Stacey Abrams

    [Optional] Did you vote yesterday? Which particular election result were you especially happy or unhappy about? – I did vote.
    While it was a long shot I was unhappy Beto O’Rourke didn’t win. Very happy D’s took the House and excited for the strides made in terms of our new members of Congress.
