A GOP House with a 2 member majority will spend more time wrangling its members than getting anything done. And they will have to enlist Democrats to help them get things done so extremist nonsense will have to be set aside. Endless committee meetings on Hunter Biden aside of course.
And the new speaker will have to agree with the so called Freedom Caucus to investigations of the DOJ investigations of Trump, and to impeachment over the border and inflation. Just the kind of crazy to drive the House to the Dems in two years. Particularly after the maps in Florida and other states are struck down by the courts. Although now I believe that the fair districts amendment will be gutted by judicial fiat.
I don't think so. I think they will pull Dems across the aisle to get stuff done and save the MTG stuff for investigatory committees. That is unless they only want 2 years in the majority and 4 more years of Biden.
Nevada is really coming down to the wire. Looks like they dropped another batch that expanded the R lead to 821 with with 96% reporting. (It was less than 800 with 93% reporting earlier in the day).
Yeah but there are tens of thousands left from Vegas. Now as it turns out, there are a few thousand left from other areas I wasn't aware of. But Casto should still win.
The best thing in my opinion is a split government, I never want to be governed from the extreme side either way. If the Reps control at least 1 of the two houses that will be a good thing.
It’s perfect. They can cause gridlock but will likely spare us all the showboating of Impeachment trials and investigations into Hunter’s laptop etc.
This has been going on for as long as I remember, via urban centers, although it is now more pronounced with greater mail in voting. The order of which they count the votes really should have nothing to do what your best campaign strategy is.
The Freedom Caucus is exacting these commitments now because just a few votes can decide the speakership. Unless McCarthy reaches out to Dems to vote for him. Which is GOP suicide
Good grief. I'm shocked that a simple concept like COUNTING is beyond some people. Can you point to one race in the last 50 years where a state didn't count all of the legal ballots? If not, I beg you to take your whining to The Donald.
Two buckets. One apples, one oranges. Count the apples first. Apples are ahead! Count the oranges later. The oranges mysteriously caught up! Must be counting fraud! Stop the count!
@swampbabe I think what I wrote above is objectively fact, if you look at Clinton and Obama years. It intuitively makes sense also. maybe you dont like conservative fiscal government which is fine, but it is what it is.
I think that dump was the remaining rural vote. Still plenty left in Clarke County to swing it, subject to a likely recount.
We haven't had a conservative fiscal government since the 1990's, and that was a revenue windfall much as anything. Now we pre-spend any revenue increases Neither side has the balls to make the necessary changes to mandatory spending and the military.
There are an estimated 24,000 mail-in ballots to be counted in Clark County as well as 15,000 provisional ballots. Additionally there are still 12,000 ballots remaining to be counted in Washoe County (Reno) where Cortez Masto has also been receiving well over 50% of the vote although by a smaller margin than the 60% plus that she has been receiving from Clark County. In other words it's only a matter of time before the election is called in favor of Cortez Masto. My guess is when that when that election is finally called Laxalt will follow the Trump playbook and refuse to concede complaining that he was the victim of (mythical) voter fraud.
