The Fox News Decision Desk can now project that Republican Senator Ron Johnson will defeat Democratic Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes. Johnson has represented Wisconsin since 2011. With this win, he will serve a third term.

Thanks for the clarification. I guess I don’t give up quite that easily or at least don’t voice my concerns at the worse possible time ; ) Stay strong—we are making strides. This is a war, not a single battle.

“Pubs will get Alaska...”

Um, the GOP already holds the Alaska Senate seat since Murkowski is for now still a Republican even though we all rightfully despise her since she is essentially a Democrat.

If you mean that a REAL Republican (Kelly Tshibaka) will defeat Murkowski and take the Senate seat.... sorry, but that’s not happening thanks to Rigged Choice Voting.

The fact that Tshibaka leads Murkowski slightly at the moment doesn’t matter at all because she is never going to reach 50% and that what RCV requires in order to win.

tells you something about the direction this country is going

And has been for a long time.

Yesterday I noticed a side panel on Fox News, showing the results of poll questions. Majorities think the government should do more, pay for medical care, pay this, cover that, abortion should be legal too.

Anyone who surrendered their children to public schools in the past 70 years or so, should look in the mirror if they have a finger to point.

Thanks for the positivity—it is deserved by all who tried very hard to make changes. Including Trump, whatever y’all think of him. I truly don’t believe this would have happened w/o out his ability to rally people. JMHO.

This is a war, not a single battle.

It took many, many years to get where we are now and it will take many many years to get where we want to get to. GOP will take the House and may even still take the Senate. I'll take Pelosi and Schumer out of a job anyday!

I watched this race until the wee hours. So glad Senator Johnson has pulled this one out.

Good for you for objectively pointing that out. Trump’s barbs at DeSantis were not helpful but he may well have rallied some people to vote. In this election every vote was critical.

A dumbed down populace is easier to manipulate and control.

So... for the GOP, it comes down to two races... the one in Nevada, in which Laxalt has a lead and in Georgia, where there’ll be a runoff.

“Blue voters are brainwashed and will vote that way all the at to the poor house.”

Sad but true. Nearly half the voters in this country are immovable... convinced that the Dems have their backs on abortion, LGBTQ+, marijuana, racism etc that there’s no possibility of them ever voting to punish the Dems.

That’s great news!!!

The big question is:

When they steal an election to stop MAGA and Trump, why would they now fail to vote for MAGA candidates and reverse course? IF the polls that said the country is on the wrong course are correct, then the answer is - many voters trust Democrats more than Rebublicans to fix it.

Or the polls were BS.

The Deep State gangrene infested limb must be amputated and then disposed of for us to survive.

I agree.

Biden with his Labor Day Demonic speech, the Democrat Party and MSM successfully defining Republicans as being fascist and anti-democracy. If people are not turned off by the above we need to get used to losing.
Which POTUS was as successful as Trump? Look at what Trump accomplished:

Gas price per gallon was about $2.30;
Inflation about 1.4%, mortgage rates were half of what they are now;
Unemployment was low before Covid and before Blue Governors shut everything
down and we were in the midst of a V-shape recovery;
Tax decrease; tax laws promoted small businesses as well as large;
US enjoyed energy independence - No Green Agenda, no war on energy, No Paris Treaty;
No war in Ukraine; NATO paid its way;
China was quiet and we were winning the trade war;
US companies were bringing home the jobs due to tax treatment;
Peace in the Middle East aka Abraham Accords; US Embassy moved to Jerusalem; and
Iran was isolated.

Who the heck can accomplish the above while being impeached twice and investigated by Obama's Weaponized Agencies?

We the Happy Warriors Won! No more Nancy Pelosi!
