Sorry, I didn’t check in until today. Was there an election? : |
What a freaking disaster—except for FL, parts of NY and maybe (we don’t know for sure yet) NV, AZ and parts of CA.
I hate it so much. It’s very interesting I guess but jeez I was hoping for some endorphins this week.
How to even make sense of it.
Easy voting giving rats POTUS level turnout, people don’t like Trump and we nominated crap candidates like rethread Michels in WI and Blake Masters who unironically said people should read the writing of the freaking unabomber. And Abortion WAS a big deal. I mocked those endless ads for weeks.
But Florida is out of swing state column I guess and of all places.....coattails of a NY gubernatorial nominee (that didn’t even win) overcame the trends? Where the hell were GOP voters in other states?
My friend if you told me that SP Maloney would lose...and the Gay RINO would win NY-3 I’d have thought we had over 240 seats. And if you told we’d win NY-4 I’d have said 250+. By will be lucky to end up with 220? Sweating would should have been Lay-ups like John James. Boebert possibly upset. Calvert possibly upset. Areas that we knew were trending badly.
The gerrymandering scorecard looms large. Indiana INEXPLICABLY left a seat on the board. Missouri did too. Texas messed up the RGV big time and cost us a chance at 2 more seats. Friggin Sununu’s veto cost us a seat. NY court of appeals of all things saves our ass from a TOTAL disaster.
Texas and OH/NC (where we now control the State Supreme Courts) need to fix that stuff.
And by God’s mercy the Senate is still in play if Laxalt holds on....it’s insane. A 1990 style midterm with a crap economy and a President as popular as dog doo.
