I don’t see why a fairly narrow Pres loss and fairly narrow House lose would be inconsistent. Trump won I think every seat we’ve gained for sure. Your ticket splitting winners this year are Maine, Collins wins! Rat in CD-2 wins despite Trump winning it, ugh, and Nebraska-2 easy Biden win and GOP House hold against a Bernie Sanders nut

We’ll probably be around 210. Well all is said and done the numbers of split districts might end up as a record low.

I am not that thrilled with this House result though, this was in play all along and we were out-raised and RNC so scared of losing more (which wasn’t gonna happen cause Biden was never up 10 or even 5) with rat incumbents looking so tough and full of cash that we had to spend everything on defense.

Except of course Kim Klatick and Lara Loomer who raised a ton of money in safe rat seats, ridiculous.

The defense appears to have been highly successful though (betting Trump carried almost all of them though), they even missed their #2/1a target in TX-23. Rats targeted a ton of seats. Aside from the two gerrymandered stolen seats in NC which were no hopers (uhhhhhhhhhhhg!!!!!!!!!!) It does appear that GA-7 which was their #1 target, CA-25, taking back a seat we won back in a special (not over), and and maybe AZ-6 (we’ve taken the lead!) could be their only pickups.

Understood. But I will be thankful if Pelousy is retired even if Walter Mitty or Wimpy has to become speaker.

Too bad they let WI and MI get swiped last night, since there was a great young Senate and probably were a few House members there for them too.

Were the ballots with only Biden selected legitimate or were these ballots fraudulent? It seems odd that there would be a lot of ballots with only Biden selected when the ballots have other issues and candidates.

Justin Amash, MI(L) did not run for re-election. Plenty of Socialists, running as Demonrats.

People need to stop assuming that Biden has already won.

If we could put Pelosi on a back bench somewhere, so she
doesn’t have to rot in public, it would be nice.

As I told a friend yesterday, consider this: A candidate who’s only barely aware of his own existence, doesn’t campaign and draws tens of people to his public appearances defeats an incumbent who draws tens of thousands nationwide and has higher public approval than most of his predecessors? To quote Hillary Clinton, it “...requires the suspension of disbelief.”

Fortunately, unlike Nixon, Trump will fight. I’m cautiously optimistic and hoping beyond hope that those who attempted to hijack the 2020 election will feel the wrath of We the People.

We were leading in 220 House races on Wednesday morning. Corrupt democrats have already stolen 6 of our seats.

America is better than Blue.

When you say a “Blue State”, what you’re saying is the majority of our fellow Americans willingly voted for a criminal who has used the power of the US Govmt to shake down nations for his own pocket, who endorses illegal substance use and abuse among family members and in his own home, as well as pedophilia.

We are a better nation than that. A “Blue State” is one who’s electoral processes have been so gradually, incrementally, and thoroughly corrupted in ALL its forms that the residents have been conditioned to accept that their American ideals are a minority among a sea of fraudulent socialists. None ever think twice after thirty five years, of carefully and critically policing the voting process using contemporary digital tools.

What I find FAR easier to believe, is that as of Reagan’s a$%-kicking in 1984 the small number of American socialists began a program of gradually organized corruption of the Federal Elections that has proceeded incrementally across the country relatively unimpeded-and that in this election, in their brazenness, now they have attempted to extend this process into the remaining relatively un-corrupted states.

The American Left KNOWS 21st century digital balloting is coming and that when it does all this is exposed.

It’s a shame Trump didn’t have enough poll watchers during the 3:00 am voting surge.

Kevin McCarthy was on Mark Levin last night talking about this. When asked about the chance of ‘recruiting’ Dems to convert to being Repub, he said something like: We have a few names that are possible converts. He also said that it would take only a few unhappy Dems to keep Pelosi from being elected as Speaker. These would be Dems who’d vote against her while not necessarily switching allegiance to the Repubs.

They “found” a data stick... allegedly mislabeled as provisional... with JUST enough votes on it to change the outcome.

Blatant steal. Going to court.

Looking at Charlie Cook’s Hoiuse ratings, he had Chabot’s OH-01 as a toss-up; Chabot won by 7% (27,500 votes), a larger victory margin in votes than what Democrat Tim Ryan had in the supposedly “safe Democrat” OH-13, which had been drawn by Republicans as a “Democrat vote sink.” Bishop in the supposedly only “lean Republican” NC-09 won by more votes than did former Congressional Black Caucus chairman G.K. Butterfield in the NC-01 (also “safe Democrat”).

GOP candidates already have won one “Likely Democrat” seat and have a shot of winning 2 or 3 others (and several ithers were very close as well). GOP candidates have won or are ahead in 8 of the 18 “Lean Democrat” seats (it was 9 until Spangenberg took the lead in VA-07), and have won or are ahead in 25 of the 27 “tossup” districts (all but UT-04 and CA-25, both of which could end up going our way). Meanwhile, the only “Lean Republican” or “Likely Republican” seats that could give us a victory by less than 5% is CA-50 (Issa, in Hunter’s vacated CD), but he’ll likely win by more than that when all the votes are counted.

I would congratulate the GOP for so greatly exceeding expectations, but that would assume that the Leftist wishful thinking that Charlie Cook spews as “election analysis” comprised reasonable expectations.
