As the votes continue to be counted in swing states, Joe Biden has the best chance to become the next President. But the closer we inspect the nationwide election returns, the more the result looks like a defeat for the rest of his Democratic Party and especially for the progressive agenda. Mr. Biden would take office without a mandate beyond addressing Covid-19 and not being Donald J. Trump.
Mr. Biden will win the popular vote, and he may eke out a narrow win in the Electoral College. In essence he’ll have reversed Mr. Trump’s victory in 2016 with hair’s-breath advantages in Wisconsin and Michigan, and perhaps Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona. None of them will be by large margins. He will have vanquished an incumbent President, which is no easy task.

But look down the ballot, or across the country, and Mr. Biden’s potential victory looks remarkably limited and personal. Most new Presidents enter office having swept allies into Congress and statehouses as the public embraces his agenda and vision for America. Certainly this was true of Barack Obama in 2008 and to a lesser extent Mr. Trump in 2016. Mr. Biden had no such coattails.
Democrats lost seats in the House, giving up some of the suburban gains they made in 2018 while continuing to struggle in rural areas. The full results won’t be in for weeks, but Speaker Nancy Pelosi may find her majority cut in half or more to the smallest in 20 years.
Senate control may be determined by a Jan. 5 runoff for two seats in Georgia. But the GOP already looks to have won 50 seats to 48 for Democrats, who had expected to ride public dislike for Mr. Trump into the majority.

Sounds like a dream result for the GOPe. Get rid of Trump, replace him with an ineffective stooge, and expand power elsewhere in government.
We have two choices:
1. The Second Continental Army;
2. Live under Democrat Totalitarian Rule forevermore.
There is no 2022 or 2024. If this election is brazen, in your face fraud, they ALL will be from here on out. Democrat fiat is the new rule of law.
The only thing that stops these criminals that now rule us is force and death. On an extremely large level. The government, including the local governments as you point out, must be razed and those who committed this crime put “to the bayonet.”
It is that or live under their tyranny for the rest of our lives.
nothing else needs to be said....
we the people have been disenfranchised....
...nearly 70 MILLION people disenfranchised. Oh, well. President Harris will take power shortly...it’s the will of George.
Who will run the country? If Donald Trump manages somehow to triumph in this election, then he will run the country, just as he does now. This situation is not impossible but very unlikely. The Republicans simply need to build a bigger majority in more states. We need to rear our children as Republicans and to convert Democrats and inactives into new Republican voters and to naturalize new Republican citizens. We need to colonize states, just as the Democrats colonized states from New Hampshire to Nevada to Virginia to Colorado to Arizona to (apparently) Georgia.
But now, federal bureaucrats will run the country unchecked. The District of Columbia, home to many high-ranking federal bureaucrats, voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 more than any county in America. The suburbs also vote strongly and reliably Democrat. The Trump administration on a good day managed to constrain albeit only partially the damage that these bureaucrats wrecked upon the American experiment. Under a vaguely friendly, senile administration, they will work whatever they want anonymously but powerfully. Think of intrusions of various government agencies, investigations from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, tax audits, vindictive enforcement actions of some obscure, long-forgotten regulation so vaguely written as to admit of any number of interpretations that effectively criminalize otherwise innocent conduct. The Democrat bureaucrats will direct almost all of these investigations and vendettas at various random Republicans, including many ordinary Americans, to terrorize them into silence and into advancing the Democrat agenda, even against their own business interests. Entities involved in the extraction and combustion of fuels that produce carbon dioxide emissions should quiver in fear. Entities, including especially churches and ecclesial communities, religious charities, social clubs, and private schools, that promote ideas contrary to the Democrat platform likewise will be particular targets. Also, the regulatory morass that Trump effectively blocked will return to producing enormous stacks of new administrative law every day, especially after a yearlong startup period on account of the Administrative Procedures Act. All of that can occur without any act of Congress beyond regular appropriations.
In addition, liberal Democrat operatives in the Cabinet agencies and as White House staffers will wield an unusual degree of power. Some of these positions require Senate confirmation. If the Republicans manage to retain an ultra-narrow majority in the Senate, then they may hold a weak check on this power, but do not expect them to use it much. And even if the Republicans do block administration nominees in considerable number, then the liberal operatives still can get into non-confirmed positions of great influence rather than formal positions as Cabinet secretaries and undersecretaries.
And if Biden or some other Democrat holds the presidency, then Republicans may and probably will take the House of Representatives in 2022. Because of the mixture of Senate seats in contention, few will change parties, and the Republicans even may net a loss (in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina in particular and Georgia and Arizona if not already lost).
I’m all for fighting to the death.
But I can’t sit here and pretend I think some lawsuits are gonna be successful.
By all means, file lawsuits, protest, whatever it is you are talking about as if you are a major part of it. I’m all for trying any damn thing.
But I don’t see more than a 5% chance of stopping unless you are talking about literally fighting as in some 1776 type sh!t. And if so, sign me up.
And when Biden floods America with a hundred million third world people and gives them citizenship will they have lost the battle? America has been stolen. FOAD journalists.
The USSC is deciding on PA now. Could mean all the votes after election day being thrown out.
We all KNOW there is massive fraud here. All we need is recounts, canvassing, audits, etc to uncover it and show it.
Bless you friend. I hope so.
I have not slept.
Same to you...I haven’t slept either....maybe if I had, I wouldn’t be so testy about all this! Sorry :-)
Good point.
Larry, people should apologize for NOT being angry.
I live in a state run be Democrats, OR. It is rotten to the core. Mail in voting for years. Now supposedly the state just voted to legalize all drugs. I seriously doubt it is accurate. I don’t even want to look at any of my state results. I am sick.
I have to repost this, sorry. And now we need to talk about what to do next, really:
“Not yelling at you so forgive me if I come across as cross or angry, but
WE HAVE ALL THE DAMN EVIDENCE WE NEED to string up 100 DemoKKKrats.
Evidence isn’t the issue, and has never been the issue. Political will is the only issue. In Reconstruction, the Rs had the political will to do what was necessary (at least until 1876). There was no wavering. If it took military governments in the south, they did that. If it took troops, they did that.
I see NO political will outside of Trump’s team and a tiny handful of GOP types. Almost all have been totally silent on this coup. By now ALL the GOP state legislatures should have issued formal statements saying they will not accept the results of any election where fraud was present to the degree it made a difference. They will be naming their own elector slates.
This should have been done after the first mysterious spike in Biteme’s numbers. Yet not a peep.
And by the way, for all the lovers of state representation, state’s rights, federalism, etc.: THIS IS ENTIRELY THE RESULT OF STATES. None of these legislatures stepped up to stop the governors with their lockdowns. None were impeached or removed. ALL these ridiculous voting laws are NOT the result of illegal aliens, non-citizens, governors, or the federal government. They are ALL the result of state legislatures wanting to be “inclusive.” Extending voting times and days, changing rules for ballots and absentees. Don’t blame the feds and don’t blame outsiders. This was an inside job by YOUR. STATE. REPRESENTATIVES.”
The Dems lost numbers in the House because they didn’t think they needed to cheat there.
I think you are right. But I got a note from Zen Master, my court expert, minutes ago that I will post on Twit. Gives hope.
Exactly right. This isn’t gonna be “democratic.” One party or the other will seize power.
Impeach 46 and then Impeach 47
You can add Fox News and other “Conservative” media to the mix.
I quit watching Faux entirely in 2015.
Urged everyone I could to dump them.
