My takeaways from last night.

Posted on 11/09/2022 6:39:09 AM PST by 2nd Amendment

A few takeaways form last night. We did not have a "Red Wave" We barely managed to hang on to what we have Trump needs to retire. The defacto leader of the conservative movement is DeSantis Abortion and late term baby killing is more important to 50% of Americans than crime, inflation and energy independence. Republicans need to field candidates with competence and governance. Either we get rid of mail in voting or republicans learn to cheat like the democrats. We must expand our influence among Hispanic voters. With their family values they are extremely important. I am thankful if we can demote Pelosi. I'd rather have a 5 seat majority than none at all. I do wonder where Newt Gingrich's 40-60 seat tsunami went.

The Democrats have figured out the mail-in voting process is the key to victory. They don't do it everywhere But, they don't seem to be getting caught, so it's going to happen until they're caught.

In the meantime, the GOP is not going to win any national elections. The House is too cumbersome to steal, so that is the only place where the GOP has a chance.

Of course I agree with you. Like the Israelites of old we constantly turn away from godliness. But as a believer in these times, I must remain positive because I know how it is going to end. I do grieve for this once great nation and “The shining city on a hill”. and wonder why we just have to throw it away.

Georgia is fundamentally a democrat state. Like it or not. Walker is doing better against an incumbent than expected. The eighty thousand libertarian votes didn’t help

We’ll see what the run off brings

It's the machines.

They have proprietary software we can't inspect.

A single line of code can flip thousands of votes and no one would ever know.

The perfect crime.

Wouldn’t that be great if he could reverse the 2021 outcome.I will do what I can for Walker. Hundreds of million of dollars will come into the state and every communist democrat that crawled out under a rock will be here. The low information vans will be running through Atlanta like locusts. Walker is a decent fellow who has overcome a lot of personal demons but even his college town of Athens rejected this football hero for a snake-oil selling pro abort like Warnock!

I’m not predicting that we will take the senate but if we take both the senate and the house those will be major victories.

Am I wrong to say there are many more RINOs than their are DINOs in Congress?

I'd like to agree with your prediction but RINOs in the republican party will serve to blunt it's ability to lead as a conservative party - IMHO.

Go look in the mirror to see the real reason for the mid term election results.

“This election defies all historical mid-terms in the middle of an economic disaster and 75% of voters are dissatisfied and angry at the direction of the country and yet do absolutely nothing at the polls, seriously?”

Yup—that which is impossible did not happen without massive cheating.

Too many republicans still believe hard work and morally superior ideas matter to "voters".

TikTok matters to the masses. Clever, quick, reaction content for the short attention span "voter" has more impact than a clear definition of reasoned representation.

Today's "voter" is not really engaged and more likely to be entertained, teased, or tricked. It's why the hiding in the basement strategy worked for so many democrat candidates.

I'm not advocating a if you can't beat em, join me resolve but, we as conservatives need a come to Jesus reimagining of our campaigns.

Flame away.

What do you mean by that cryptic remark? I’ve voted conservative for over 50 years!

I see Kari Lake pulling out some sort of win in the five percentage point range once we reach Friday night.

Masters lags 3.3 percent behind Kari so I see him winning narrowly.

All this belief that DeSantis would be a conquering hero throughout the nation just because he did a great job in Florida is extremely premature

The media and deep state will go after him just like they did Trump.

Get rekt troll.

Trump’s endorsed candidates went something like 114-5 in the face of a maelstrom of Dem cheating.

The reason there was a Red Wave in Florida is that they cleaned up their elections.

This is one of the people from "True the Vote" put in jail right before the election for contempt of court for not revealing confidential sources -- an Appeals Court ordered them released.

Why do think Lake is going to be allowed to win.Friday is plenty of time to steal an election. Seriously, the ‘Lake will mantra sounds like desperation talk to me.
