No Red Wave

Louisville Gator was supposed to go to some victory party, I heard.

 

I think that's simplistic. Much more going on there

 

Its wonderful to see the country stick up to maga before it’s too late. Now maybe rinos can get their party back from maga crazies.

 

The only red wave that matters is control of House and Senate.
The local crazies are still around with permission to come out from under their rock.

 

How is 201 to 182 a tie for the House?
Pubs have 10 pickups.

 

Here's what a wave of freedom looks like.

Shrooms decriminalized paving the way to helping 1000s of veterans suffering from PTSD, etc. Alcohol can be delivered to our doors permanently. We reduced our tax rates.

 

good question

 

If you consider Tallahassee a 'big' city (it is the capital at least), Andrew Gillum ran and won the primary largely on his mayorial record

 

Joe:

 

Just goes to show how much many Americans despise Trump and the MAGA movement as well as almost all of the Trump picked nominees got completely dominated in their races. The majority of Americans can’t stand the guy, yet the losers who support him still think he was somehow cheated out of the 2020 election, lol.

 

Speaking of

 

As others have pointed out, the reason the MAGA candidates were on the ballot yesterday is that they won their GOP primaries. Republicans didn't rejectthem, they voted for them. It's Democrats and independents who rejected them. Or at least many of them.

 

and the dems did a turrribble job of connecting the strongman type of politics of DT/DeS to the very dictators they ran from, not to mention the MAGA attack on immigrants

 

Let us also remember that if Kevin McCarthy becomes the next Speaker, which seems likely, and Dems hold the Senate, which also seems likely, for however many months McCarthy is in the role until deposed, the highest elected Republican in the federal government has stated that be believes Trump is paid by Putin:

KIEV, Ukraine — A month before Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination, one of his closest allies in Congress — House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy — made a politically explosive assertion in a private conversation on Capitol Hill with his fellow GOP leaders: that Trump could be the beneficiary of payments from Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, according to a recording of the June 15, 2016, exchange, which was listened to and verified by The Washington Post. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is a Californian Republican known in Congress as a fervent defender of Putin and Russia.

House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) immediately interjected, stopping the conversation from further exploring McCarthy’s assertion, and swore the Republicans present to secrecy.

taking credit afterwards when yesterday before the vote the WH was doing everything they could to disassociate themselves from the results of the election.

no respect earned at all here.

 

I still think it was a significant factor in South Florida less so statewide. Adding the caveat that I'm not currently a resident of Florida, the Republican domination of the state's congressional delegation is largely attributable to Ron DeSantis extreme gerrymandering which apparently was very effective yesterday. Giving DeSantis credit where credit is due, he was also apparently very effective at combining his response to Covid as both a cultural and economic issue.

 

He and his old running mate 44 were out there everywhere they could be. That counts more than public statements. It's just the nature of the game and the fact that he was out there in public means he deserves some credit.

 

Don't presume that a lot of the South Florida Latinos don't like a strong man. I would submit that they are more open to a strong man than the average US voter. They just don't want one from the Left. Strongmen in Latin America are far more from the Right than the Left

 

Helpful insight…..

“If the House majority is 15 or 20 seats ... it’s going to be difficult,” Hudak said. “Biden will be investigated endlessly, they’re going to be passing a lot of legislation that he’s forced to veto, et cetera. But if the House majority is narrower, in the single-digit range, I think the chances of Republicans speaking with a unified voice is going to be quite limited.”
