At this point, in trying to get any kind of a "win" the Republican "leadership"  Trump, Pence, O'Connell along with the ole Tea baggers like Rand Paul.....are pretty busy at work.   Belittling, t

Unfortunate about the suicide. We do though need a lot more of this declining hush money to expose bad behaviours. Makes no difference to me who these people who do bad things support politi

The Red Wave doesn't seem to be happening so far tonight except for Florida

And DeSantis and his crew oversaw the gerrymandering of key electoral districts in Florida as well as voter suppression. American politics continue to deteriorate.

I find it interesting how many states are shooting down legal marijuana on their ballots. Do they hate tax revenue and love punishing low-level drug offenders that much?

Where as Colorado has expanded their legalization of drugs to include psychedelics. It's really the just the red states that aren't interested in weed revenue because they're on the Federal dole, so why even bother? The Blue states will just carry them and their higher crime.

For profit prisons are a really great business model when you can put people behind bars for consuming a plant.

Kind of a best case scenario last night. Trump's dream of running again all but dashed, DeSantis will almost certainly get the nod, The House going to the GOP and the Senate likely to remain with the DEMS make this a win for America imo.

It's probably the best way to put it considering that getting rid of Rubio, Abbott, Greene, and De Santis was too much to ask for.

 

But apparently so is getting a sane Republican to run for President

That Arizona governor race is really tight now. Still leaning Dem but could flip to Kari Lake. She won't finish her term and she's likely to be Trump's running mate or so it sounds. 

Arizona senate race is also tightening. Was +6% for the Dems but now down to +5%. Only 68% of precincts reporting.

Given the historical trend of US midterms, the economy, runaway inflation, Biden's low approval ratings.   This should of been a total slam dunk for the Republicans. 

What happened?  Too many unqualified and wing nut candidates endorsed by Trump.  Sane Republicans said nothing, and simply watched this go down, like the moral cowards they are........and it will cost them yet again.

I will curious to see voter turnout. That might point to what happened. 

Everyone assumes Red Wave so the Republicans don't bother voting and Democrats do?

A CNN analyst this morning placed the loss squarely on Trump and his followers. He felt that many of the moderate (?) Republicans who could no longer stomach the antics of this lot of idiots, racists and neo-Nazis simply stayed home and did not vote. This offset the voter suppression and gerrymandering of the GOP.

Governor elect Josh Shapiro will be a Democratic Presidential candidate in the future

no chance. 

He is Jewish. ( as am I)

 we have Zelensky.

other than that, there has never been a Jewish head of state. Disraeli ditched Judaeism.

amazing how Blase Americans are about their cockeyed election system. could take weeks to know some results. seems that's ok for them. Brazil ..... knew the result the next day.

If a black man with a name strongly associated with Islam can become president of the US, who knows what else is possible?

blacks voted for him.

not sure black Americans would vote for a Jew given the virulent strain of American black anti semitism. 

kanye has thirty million twitter followers for example.

Jews can be governor, judge, head of senate.... but President?  not likely.

highest the Jews get in Canada is mayor. 

anyway.... diversion, sorry.

I suggest that many Americans hold at least as much hatred for blacks as they do for Semites.

Some but Jews & Muslims make up 3% of the US population. Over 13% for blacks. That's a much bigger voting block.

The GOP and other racists have done well with a divide and conquer approach. This will continue as long as Blacks, Semites, Asians, LGBT, socialists and women each see themselves as not having common cause with others, If these ever coordinate their support for progressive candidates,, the GOP will either become powerless or have to resort to open civil war.
