Let the games begin. If you know of a conservative that hasn't voted yet, drag him to the polling station!

They are behind in mail-in votes, but election day in-person votes haven’t been counted yet.

it’s 1130pm so why aren’t they counting election day votes yet?

Dems made this another referendum on Trump and exit polling also showed he’s just as unpopular as Biden.

Trump already lost in 2020. He may have cost us the red wave in 2022. We can’t take the risk of losing the White House in 2024. No matter how we might admire the America First agenda, we know the nation is more important than one man.

It’s hard to deny that DeSantis is the big winner tonight.

Apparently FL likes the big ‘D’... I wonder if that can be translated nationwide?

Don’t underestimate the Dems ability to frighten, bully, coerce and scare up votes particularly in a pandemic and after four years of demonizing a potus that likes to fight. People couldn’t separate the policies from the drama.

A lot of the excess came in deep blue areas but what ultimately mattered was where the votes were cast. Trump couldn’t defend the map he won in 2016. He’s done nothing to rehabilitate his image with suburban women.

I wish we could’ve had that election without covid and a combative Trump 24/7/365. On the merits, he deserved re-election more than most.

COVID came down like Manna From Heaven for the Democrats. Any Rat would have told you before COVID, that Trump was cruising to re-election.

Agree. People are going to be looking at how dominating DeSantis’ win was and thinking they’d like to see that repeated in 2024 on the national stage.. I know that’s what I’m thinking.

The one difference *might* be how tribal the Republicans become in the next four weeks.

If the Georgia run-off is the only thing in the news -- the only thing standing between a Democrat or Republican controlled Senate -- will they do what they did in 2020 when President Trump was on the ballot and fighting with Brian Kemp and Brad Raffensperger, or will those two get behind Walker to push him over the line?

It will be interesting to see how the LAAP-dog media treats the Georgia voters, and how the Georgia voters respond to events in the next four weeks. If Biden gaffes his way to more insulting behaviors, more senile behaviors, and tries to act like he has a mandate, will the Georgia voters be willing to use the leverage of the Walker vote to decide to give the Senate to the Republicans this time?

Will top Republican leaders descend on the state to urge Georgia Republicans to not let Chuck Schumer's "New York values" be the "law of the land" in Georgia?

We're not talking about Purdue or Loeffler this time, so the narrative will be different. President Trump should stay away, and Ron DeSantis should stump with Walker next month.

Walker should campaign with Governor Kemp and neighboring Governors (not other Senators) who will tell the voters how important it is to the governor of a state to have a Senator who has their back.

McConnell, Lindsey Graham, and Rick Scott should stay away, but let their PACs fund Walker's run-off behind the scenes.

It's not a done deal that Walker will lose.

He was but he’s not the one for 2024. At least not right now. He needs to learn from Trump’s mistakes and not copy them. The American people don’t know him. Trump was a celebrity figure for decades. One freeper even remarked DeSantis seemed sanctimonious in his victory speech. That’s not going to succeed. Fight, absolutely… but don’t be so full of yourself you lose sight of the ground.

No question. Now is he up to run in 2024, because if it isn't DeSantis, there's not much else the GOP has to offer, unless it's Trump.

It was stolen in 2020, and just like I said then, nothing is stopping them stealing even more in 2022.

They have been saying for week what they’re doing, no one listened. They put on air in AZ over a week ago that Hobbs won.

Only way out of this shit is splitting the country. Voting will not work.

it was one of the most stupid political moves I’ve ever seen

It was one of the most selfish, self-aggrandizing, steal-the-spotlight moves I've ever seen.

The next closest stupid thing was when Jerry Nadler push aside Adam Schiff to beat him to the podium to make the closing argument at the second Trump impeachment trial in January 2020.

“ people are sick of the chaos/craziness...”

That’s pretty hard to reconcile with the people being just fine with murderers being released from prison, no bail for criminals, unrestricted fentanyl and human trafficking over the southern border (or the Mexican cartels controlling the border), uncontrolled Inflation, rising interest rates, trannys in schools, vax and mask mandates, the sex change for kids industry(but then they’re fine with murdering their kids for convenience…so), sending billions and billions to Ukraine for a war on the other side of the world.

All in all I’d say the voters were totally cool with chaos and craziness. In fact, it appears that is exactly what they want. It’s like 1980, and Jimmy Carter did just fine, thank you.
