Republicans have a democrat ballot counter problem.

Then you watch them count the ballots like Glenn Youngkin did.

[The now working-class populist Republican party has a greater number of low-propensity voters, many of whom only show up when Trump is on the ticket as evidenced by the dismal 2018 and 2022 midterms.]


Trump’s problem is that instead of paying canvassers to either get voters to the voting booth or collect mail-in ballots, he prefers to hold ego-boosting mass rallies - with his biggest fans in attendance - that waste tens of millions. Roman-style triumphs are fun, but should be held, as in Rome, *after* rather than before a victory.

The dead and demented GOP voter segments once again are underperforming against their Dem counterparts.

So this guy comes along and writes ‘hey, look at me, look at me... I’m crapping all over the polls that say Trump’s going to win’.

Go away little creep.

Good! He should!

We all need to be acting like Trump is ten points behind.

You know who thinks he's winning the election? Biden.

He did last time too because he knew they were going to cheat for him... He even told everyone in advance.

Ignore The Federalist.

There's nothing wrong with The Federalist. They're pretty solid.

The only thing the people hate worse than Democrats - is Republicans.

Trump 360 EV
Senate R+2
House D+60

*yawn*

people vote for the person in the end. Yes party matters, but in the end it is about the candidate and every race is unique to a certain extent.

The same polls showing Trump ahead are consistently showing many of the SAME people who want Trump also wanting Democrats for Senate, Governor or House races.

Trump has an appeal that cuts across party lines.

There’s only one party. It’s cute that lotsa people still think there’s a difference between them.

The point has absolutely nothing to do with whether Rulli will win again. It’s a deep red district. The author is not saying Rulli is in trouble.

Did they have a turnout problem...?

We’ll never know without an audit, will we.

And I would never assume a turnout issue without one.

So why is The Federalist?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Republicans turnout voters. Democrats turnot votes.

If Northam and the dems in VA hadn’t shit on school parents then Youngkin never gets elected.

What happens when the vast majority of people no longer look to elections to fix the nation’s problems? The country will be headed for a crack up.

The sheeple won’t do a damn thing. When the going gets tough they turn to entertainment and other trivial diversions. Bread and circuses don’t you know.

I don;t know about that. It’s going to get pretty bad. It only takes a few people to make big trouble.
