This is a train wreck for the GOP, and a potentially fatal blow for our republic.

From just races on the east, this does not look correct.

The hyesteia in here is incredible tonight.

Many expected the GOP to win every race. That wasn’t realistic.

I’ll be voting for Tulsi Gabbard. She has really long coat tails. She also surfs and is real cute.

Trump: 115 and 5 tonight!
It's an orange wave.

It's their own fault it's not a red wave. They refuse to listen.

From Twitter:

20% margin...in Florida? He won by 50,000 last time! (Trump beat Hillary in FL by 1.2%)
I have not seen such a mandate since Reagan 1984.
And he is even taking on - and winning - the most hot-button social issues, banning CRT, transgender crap, everything.
Ron DeSantis is the frontrunner for 2024 now. Period.

Trump 115 to 5 means Trumps candidates only won 5 races or 115?

Trump might be 115 and 5 tonight, but the biggest winner is Ron Desantis. Undefeated.

A long time ago I coached ice hockey. 13 year old kids. We played a game against a very good team. I was standing outside the locker room before the game and a dad was telling his son if he scored 5 goals he would buy his son one of these high end hockey sticks which at the time cost over 200 dollars. At this point of the season we are 5-1 with 14 games to go.

The game is played and the kid scores 7 goals. I’m watching this from the bench and telling my assistant coach we need to get the kid off the ice because he isn’t passing the puck. The assistant coach is best friends with the father of the player.

Game ends and we go back into the locker room and I give the kids the “good effort” speech. But I also give them the “if we want to win hockey games we cannot be selfish” speech. 15 minutes later the dad puts me up against the wall and threatens to hurt me if I ever try to pull his kid from another game. I don’t back down and tell the dad, “you caused this by enabling your kid to be a selfish player. Yes, he scored 7 goals, but we lost 8-7 and your kid was on the ice for all 8 of the opposing teams goals.

Next day I am summoned to appear before the association to explain “my” actions. I told them that hockey is a team game and if players do not want to follow my coaching and parents want to run the team they are more than happy to. My kid played for another team so I had no dog in the fight. I explained that selfishness is contagious and at the age of 13, I’m more concerned with teaching kids how to be good players, citizens, students and pillars in the community and the result of that is winning. If the parents want to live vicariously through the eyes of their kids, maybe it’s better off the kid play for a different team.

Next day, they move the kid up a level because clearly he is too good to play for me. We finished the season 17-3 and won it all. The kid who moved up scored one goal with his new team and they didn’t make the playoffs. Best part about it, in his first game with his new team, his 200 dollar hockey stick broke.

Why am I saying this? Selfishness has no place when there is a bigger picture to be considered. Especially in politics. I know Trump, met Trump and conversed with Trump on bigger picture things. He is who he is, but the last couple of weeks probably should have focused on the big picture and not his record.
