Well, it also depended upon a good bit of cheating as well, didn’t it?

Democrats will keep control of Congress in the midterms because the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade

Then DeSantis who is a big pro-lifer and defended anti-abortion laws in Florida would not have won by 15% and carried Dade County. Insecure mail-in voting was the difference. It will never be investigated nor changed until the cheaters are thrown out of their individual states.

Some republicans acted like they wanted to lose. Lindsay Graham made sure that it was going to be about abortion, and Trump made it about Trump.

He was right that abortion was important to suburban white women. In places where it was actually on the ballot like in MI then it seems to have made a difference. It’s a sick, sick culture.

He’s a real modern-day Jabba the Hutt.

He predicted Trump in 2016, too.

As with Carville, it is utterly dumb to the point of treason to ignore or discount information or opinion merely because of the source.

Much as with about 95% of the time someone uses the phrase ‘Fake News’: which is essentially supposed adults going around like little kids with their fingers in their ears shouting ‘LALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU” because they don't like what they hear (yes there is inaccurate news, but only an immoral, retarded fool calls it such without close investigation, *particularly* when it is something they don't agree with).

Only an idiot and a failure discards or discounts information or opinion because of the source alone.

“What is he seeing which we are not?”

Moore correctly predicted that Roe being overturned was going to be a major factor in how people voted.

Conservatives largely ignored that because they didn’t want it to be true. Instead, polls were cited and cable news shows were referenced. Red Wave, Red Tsunami. An echo chamber effect was created. Other factors that broke for the Democrats were Trump Fatigue and Election Denial. It didn’t help that some MAGA candidates wouldn’t say whether they would accept the outcome of their elections.

Michael Moore did far better than was predicted on freerepublic.

Because the predictions on FR did not take into account the scope of the efforts by Dems to win at all costs.

That's because there are a lot more "people" in American society that are like him than there are on Free Republic.

This election was a vote against crazy. It reminded me of the psych ward, where patients get extremely anxious when a truly crazy patient was admitted. A lot of voters perceived the looney tune right as a bigger threat than the liberal left.

The abortion issue was the establishment’s last best chance to turn the elections into their favor. That’s why our so-called conservative Supreme Court turned it back to the states. The SC justices were likely pressured and or were threatened. The Establishment knows what they are doing and they don’t hold back.

Then you have Lindsey Graham sponsor a bill to make abortion illegal nationally that HE KNEW COULD NOT PASS!

Set up from the very beginning.

Jim Noble (FR since May 1998) predicted Senate D52 R48 and House R223 and D 212 in August, and I stuck to it two weeks ago in the face of all the Red Tsunami hopium.

I also predicted D+40 in the House in November 2018.

I post about what I see all the time. What I see is that people hate the Democrats, but they hate the Republicans more. Individual candidates can make a difference, of course, but for a Republican to win a statewide election (or a national election), usually Democrats have to vote for him.

This was Trump’s winning formula in 2016. He was made President by 60,000 Democrats in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

The formula is simple: Close the border. Enact punitive restrictions on finance capitalism. Support and protect industrial capitalism AND labor. Reshore manufacturing, using the power of a muscular government where needed. And stop the nonsense about individual liberty. We live in communities, communities have norms. All the GOP has bought with their stupid Randian objectivism is drag queen story hour and open drug use.

The nation will not be free until the GOP is destroyed. It is the major obstacle to a realignment.

Build it, and they will come.

If it was all about abortion, why did the GOP flip 4 seats in New York and other Democrat stringholds?
