“Until we learn to cheat as good as the Dems ...“

Finally.. Thank you!!

Are we the ONLY two who remember the cheat of 2020???

And how NOTHING has been done to prevent it again?

And how the democrats have have a couple of YEARS to solidify and work the bugs out of that scam?

I can’t believe people here are blaming Donald Trump!
He still fills stadiums; Biden still can’t fill a high school gym.
Are we just getting too used to this??

NOBODY is living better now than they were 4 years ago - except politicians.

Anybody who believes yesterday’s election was on the level is delusional.

We LOST our right to ‘fair and free’ elections two years ago - and we did nothing about it. Hence, we get what we deserve.

Is it true as I have seen suggested that Trump is mainly seeking contributions for his own pocket rather than to help his party?

‘You won’t win any friends here posting that lard ass.’

lard ass or not, his point is relevant; he overblames Trump, but then everyone in the Pub universe deserves some blame...

Trump only spent a small amount of his war chest on other candidates. He’s saving most of it for his presidential run. Which is already DOA.

In AZ, Hobbs was horrible candidate vs Lake an outstanding one. Hobbs looks like the winner. Hobbs is the Secretary of State, she is responsible for the counting of votes. Hobbs refused to recuse herself. 25% of tabulators were faulty. Coincidence? I don’t think so. I smell a giant Rat.

The country did that in 2020 as their leader.

Yes. It changes the whole dynamic.

REmember in the 1990s (?) when the rurals and burbs would come in and we’d all chew fingernails over the “urban drop?”

Well now the Ds build up massive EV leads and have to chew their fingernails about the ED drop.

took you a while to come up with that.

NO ONE voted for a guy who had a stroke and could barely speak. IT CALLED CHEATING. He even admitted that it would happen yesterday. Wake up. Quit living in denial.

Looks like January 6 and Roe v. Wade were winning issues after all.

White baby boomers are dying off only to be replaced by non-white immigrants. It’s a demographics issue.

‘I haven’t seen anybody (I’m sure I missed some) state the real cause for the loss (and yes it was a loss) by the GOP.’

wins and losses exist in the eye of the beholder; the Pubs will win the lower chamber, as was predicted, and have made the Senate a tight race to the end, as was also predicted...it will all turn on GA, which we won’t know until December; win and take 51 seats and control (fwiw I predicted 52)...

otoh, if Walker loses, as he easily might, then nothing whatsoever was gained, with the upper chamber tied at 50...

Another consideration is that the “Red Wave narrative” was a media created phenomenon that was designed to create viewer attention both before and after the election - providing endless opportunities for stories on why the Republicans were doing well and then why they didn’t meet polling expectations.

Don’t be demoralized, deflated - Keep your chins up, friends! Our candidates did well despite what appears to be funny business in some election boards.

you do realize that midterm elections always generate at best two thirds of the typical turnout of presidential election...right?


Not always. In 1994 and 2010, there were big midterm gains for R. In 2006 and 2018, there were big midterm gains for D. Historically, the party in power tends to lose in the midterms.

We may have to come to the realization that we are now a liberal-leaning country. If we couldn’t win in this environment, perhaps we’ve misread how enslaved the American people wish to be…

‘NO ONE voted for a guy who had a stroke and could barely speak.’

you keep using that word (nobody); I don’t think it means what you think it means...

fetterman collared 2.6 million tallies; are you saying they were all phantom votes, pulled out of thin air...? you think that urban philly and pittsburgh, millions of voters, didn’t pull a lever for the dems, like they do every election...? you think the levers pulled themselves...?

and you urge me to live in reality...
