And he has the mental capacity of a 4 year old. His only stint in office he destroyed a community.

In two years these communities will be worse than what they are today. These rest of the nation's 401K will stop losing value because of gridlock which will be a win. The poor will stay just as poor, crime will be just as bad or worse, foreign policy will still be sketchy, the country will be just as divided and blacks will still be playing the victim card.

He may have the “majority” but he doesn’t have a path forward as far as an election. What state is he going to flip from ‘20? Tonight showed it won’t be Georgia or PA.

I'm just passing along info. That is on them to sort out in the primaries.

Trump made a point at a rally in Ohio Monday night to show his poll numbers against other Republicans (70% were with Trump, by the way).

He's announcing November 14. And that seems to be what conservative voters want. Who knows, long way to 2024. But it seems like the Trump train is about to get going again.

Republicans have made, and look poised to continue making, the active decision to lose.

I think Desantis emerges we the party leader but there are other possibles. Tonight's disappointing result hurts Trump in the eyes of voters.

I disagree. Tonight's results reveal where Trump already stands in the eyes of voters. I doubt very many Trump fans will be swayed by tonight's embarrassment.

It’s still early in Nevada but the Trump backed candidate trailing by 11% there. Would imagine this decides who controls the senate. If Dems when here I think you are looking at 51-49 democrat control.

Is nominating whoever the hell Trump wants, proving to be not such a great idea? LOL.

The Republicans really blew a layup here.

It's almost like you want the party extremes running this country.

No, I don't. Elections are mostly decided in almost all elections in primaries, when the most extreme of both parties run and win. Then that bleeds over to general elections, when you have bad candidates like we see in PA and Georgia. Trust me, I'd rather see boring ass candidates arguing over policy specifics than what we see in most American elections.

I agree but I'm specifically talking about Republican voters. I think some of the dumb teasing he has done has not been helpful. Everyone was holding their collective breath when he pulls stunts like with Desantis name calling and possible announcements that he was interfering with the midterms. You possibly don't know how much it motivated democrats and independents in the last day.

Kevin McCarthy giving a speech that starts with talking about "freedom". That's rich coming from that *******.

It’s almost like the dims priority is being able to kill the kid’s they don’t have versus being able to take care of the ones they do have.

Kari Lake already crying for honest elections in the AZ gubernatorial race. Only 52% of precincts reporting

Katie Hobbs is holding an 11 point 150,000 vote lead at 52% reporting. I'm not sure of the demographic breakdown among the outstanding precincts, but it's not looking good ...

Philip Klein of National Review summed it up:

It's hard to look at tonight's result as anything other than a strong repudiation of the decision to nominate candidates based primarily on their loyalty to Trump and their willingness to indulge his stolen election fantasies. In Georgia, Ohio, and New Hampshire candidates endorsed and heavily promoted by Trump (Walker, Vance, Buldoc) are significantly underperforming the more traditional Republicans (Kemp, DeWine, Sununu). In Pennsylvania, Trump pushed Mastriano (who got clobbered) and Oz (who is likely to lose). Throughout the country, MAGA supported House candidates are losing. Meanwhile, in Florida, Ron DeSantis managed to unite traditional Republican voters, populists, and win over independents through competent governance. And that was the guy that Trump decided to take shots at in the run up to the election. Republicans have a pretty clear choice — they can continue to make the party a vehicle for Trump's ego, lose winnable races, and claim fraud after the fact. Or they can move on and start winning again.

This episode is pretty interesting about the Stop the Steal movement in Arizona, regardless of how you feel about it. It probably works to get MAGA heads in PC positions in red states, but in AZ, it's going to make it easier for Dems to win. 1/3 of our voters are independent and while this movement makes it easy for somebody like Kari Lake to win the nomination, she might end up losing. Lake has tons of name recognition and her opponent Hobbs is not a good candidate in an election where D's should expect to get slaughtered nationally. This shouldn't be close and it is.

Some chatter that Johnson will hold in Wisconsin over Barnes (D) for Senate.
Click to expand...
Yep ... I had hopes for that one, and Barnes made a game of it, but not enough in the end.

Also, Masto looks safe in Nevada. There really wasn't much drama tonight. The polls were more accurate than they have been in a long time. It is fair to say that Republicans slightly underperformed - and in every disappointing result, it was a Trump endorsed election-denier.
