My Democratic Senate long shot might come home?
I had a prediction here that Roe v Wade overturned would have state politicians shitting themselves but honestly I’m not sure that was why but certainly was a factor. The postmortem will be interesting to me.
Red wave down the tubes.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but this guy on Fox News is right:

Some folks on the right arent gonna like what Im about to say but its time to cut Trump loose end of story. He needs to stay the fuck out of 2024 absolutely. The Dems didnt even make him an issue and he managed to poison the well on the GOP clearly. His candidates did not fare well at all outside of JD Vance in Ohio and maybe a couple others.
On a side note theres gonna be riots in the streets practically here in AZ due to the shitshow that went down here in Maricopa county. and yes They may have some legitimate beefs, people called into one radio show this afternoon thats generally considered middle of the road and telling stories of getting bounced around tried to vote system wouldnt take ballot tried to go elsewhere got told the system said they had voted since they had checked in elsewhere. Went back to the old location and ended up voting provisionally which may or may not even be counted now. Not saying it was deliberate malfeasance but gross negligence sure seems appropriate. The truth on the tabulation machines wasnt them specifically it was a rather shocking discovery. Apparently if you vote in person on day they were printing out ballots on the special ballot paper and the printers werent printing dark enough marking lines around the edges and the machines were rejecting them. WTF?? Maricopa County has billions in their budget you mean to tell me these fucking morons cant preprint ballots for people to use and allow for some overage via spoiled ballots and extra volume on day of?? ARE YOU SERIOUS?? If nothing else Stephen Richer the County Recorder needs to answer for this with his resignation tomorrow or very soon after as this falls squarely on his head under the you had one damn job to do and you blew it!.
Kinda like when they ring a tsunami alarm in Hawaii for an expected tidal wave and ends up being a 1cm ripple. Yep bout sums it up. You could literally hear the roar of the wave early in the night with the initial tallys and outcomes and then its like it just collapsed out of nowhere. Again Ill repeat myself Trump needs to be cut the fuck loose now for the good of the party hes a damn alabatross clearly. I still dont get how people can vote the way they did with the economy a completely shitshow and especially here in AZ we have the worst inflation of anywhere at 12-13%. I mean really Abortion being turned back to the states is the end of the fucking world for people?? JFC we got some seriously stupid fucking people in this country. Dobbs didnt ban abortion contrary to what people claimed or thought. Plenty of states still allow it. Hell they fixed the conflict here in AZ between the 2 laws so its now 15 weeks. Meanwhile the economy is assfucking the public and nobody apparently cares. The GOP will have a minimalist majority which will at least freeze the insane spending in DC but I guarantee now unless the GOP does get the Senate Biden isnt going anywhere they cant afford to lose Kamala as the tie breaker if it remains 50/50 which just might happen now.
i think the big problem with this would be how you would instantly alienate 15% of the republican voters who identify as Q-caliber MAGA.
they wanted to literally hang Pence because he refused to ratify election results. they arent going to vote for desantis because desantis isnt one of them. there arent going to be any compelling ben garrison cartoons about desantis. flynn isnt going to keep doing his christian nationalist g gordon liddy schtick for desantis.
and where this all makes me nervous is russia literally cant afford to let trump get sidelined, knowing as they do that trump loyalists like MTG are going to cut ukraine aid off cold once trump is in power again. so they will probably resort to literally anything to make biden look weak. and the cycle of fucking around and finding out gets very scary when that math is in the mix.
boebert is 5000 votes behind with 15,000 votes left to be counted out of about 300,000.
its unlikely she fades that math but if i could find a line for her on predictit in the 5% or worse range, id fuck with it. weirder has happened.
So the House goes Republican and the Senate (after a likely Georgia run off) stays status quo?
This will ensure Biden runs again in 2024.
I think the God King got what he wanted.
devidee: There’s always camming again
id instasub to her OF but sadly it will probably have to wait until her husband divorces her and takes half her millions.
Why hasn’t there been a congressional hearing on Q? Why not a national man hunt?
Clearly, Q is the greatest threat to our Republic-Democracy-Dystopian-Hellscape.

jesus, trumps rust belt really might be sitting this one out.
Translation:
Suck it, nerds!
The Democrats running a legit retard and winning is proof that “democracy” is as healthy as ever, you guys.
I still think desantis beats trump in primary if he chooses to run. He will be 77/78 and likely experiencing some health and cognitive decline issues. I don’t expect him to be the same trump from before. On top of it republicans need to realize that running a candidate that is incapable of winning popular vote is a horrible strategy.
There seems to be a thought that only way Biden runs again is if trump does too. That’s how little the dems think of trump. But they won’t let Biden run against any legitimate Republican contender.
That being said I can’t imagine Biden being in any shape to take on trump. Would literally be a death pool between those guys.
Its very simple. Those QAnons arent gonna vote Democrat they hate them too much. Theyll hold their damn noses and vote for DeSantis if hes the nominee period end of story Just like the far left whackers like the Squad having to vote for Biden et al. They arent gonna sit home like a bunch of cry babies and pout because Trump isnt the nominee. Will a few sure possibly but the reality of having to shut the insanity down is going to become a harsh reality.
This is very correct. Bill maher did a good peace a few weeks ago about how the Republican Party doesn’t stand for anything outside of being anti democrat. So you can nominate just about anyone and the base will vote for them for fear of a Democrat winning. The problem with this of course is you need more than your base to win. Desantis can get votes from both the base and moderates.
RIght now everyone is on pins and needles about Nevada, and former Micon nemesis Adam Laxalt (now GOP candidate for Senate).
Both big races in NV are close -- gubernatorial (Sisolak versus Lombardo) and Senate (Laxalt versus Cortez-Masto).
Lombardo is doing a bit better than Laxalt at the moment, but both lead by 5 figures in votes.
HOWEVER
Nevada fucked up their election again (what else is new), and apparently Clark County is way behind counting ballots.
Laughably, not only does the county have 300+ drop boxes which weren't counted at all yet, they don't even know how many ballots are in them!
https://twitter.com/therecount/statu...38970290499591
What a fucking fail.
People are questioning why they couldn't have even COUNTED those ballots by now, given that it's been about 16 hours since polls closed. Others complained that they didn't even weight the boxes to get a good idea of what was in there, if they didn't have time to count, for whatever reason.
Lombardo leads by about 40k, while Laxalt leads by about 23k.
In addition, there's about 14,500 mail-in ballots which also haven't been counted by Clark County.
Clark County is a blue county, and mail-in ballots for sure lean even further D, but the drop boxes aren't as blue-leaning as the mail. Still, it's not hard to believe that Cortex-Masto could pick up a win here, if there are something like 120,000 uncounted ballots total, if they break 60-40 for her.
There are already suspicions that shenanigans are going on because:
1) People are paranoid about election theft in general
2) Nevada is a notoriously corrupt state, dating back to its beginnings
There has been talk for years about the "Reid machine" having control of Nevada politics, referring to corrupt longtime Senator Harry Reid. While Reid retired years ago and croaked last year, some are concerned that machine is still running.
This is a big deal because the Laxalt/Masto race could determine who controls the Senate.
It's really down to Laxalt/Masto and Walker/Warnock, regarding whether Republicans end up with 49, 50, or 51 Senators. Walker/Warnock is almost surely headed for a runoff. If Laxalt wins, the GOP may dump a ton of resources into that Georgia runoff.

FiveThirtyEight just as useless as always.
538 is a Mickey Mouse company owned by Disney. Disney has announced a new 538 ride in Orlando
Will be interested to see how Trump spins his reaction to the results. Might be along the lines that this proves America needs him back in order to appeal to conservative voters. He might point out that, even during his "stolen" 2020 election, Republicans did well in House races.
