    Well it appears that issue is what tipped PA which is very likely going to decide who controls the senate.


    Any other issue is going to be secondary to the economy, especially when it’s on shaky ground like it is right now. But what about 2 years from assuming inflation is tamed…all those women will still be stripped of their reproductive rights. The GOP is fortunate there are currently bigger fish to fry.

    yeah, get back to me when inflation is tamed, food prices actually drop, gas gets back to say 2.50 a gallon, crime is reduced, the border is secure. about how many years to do all this?

    Trump is being blamed for Oz’ embarrassing loss. Surprisingly, Trump is taking the blame like an adult.





    Haha nah I’m joking, he’s blaming his wife.

    It was the issue that prevented a red wave when Repubs should have crushed Dems. So I'd say it was a winning strategy.

    And speaking of DeSantis, you ever watch his god created DeSantis on the 8th day video?

    That's a bold statement considering the outcome of the midterms.

    National polls still show abortion in single digits and way down the list, but certainly, if the economy is good and covid is dead and gone and crime gets better and the extremist arm of the dem party fades away, abortion will move up.

    That's a lot of If's though.

    Is it? Many democratic leaders were saying they would win big because of it.

    It was a pretty typical midterm. Abortion didnt have a huge impact in most places.

    Again. Pennsylvania has polled higher on the issue all along.

    Government mandated sharia style Forced birth may be a single issue but it was likely very motivating to the younger generation.

    If you make the effort to find Fetterman’s victory speech, you will be in for a surprise. You can’t tell that he has been having stroke-related speaking issues.

    It was anything but a typical midterm. You're miles off the mark.

    One of my buddies was at some function with Lee Corso about a year ago. He hung out with him for a couple hours. Said his speech was nothing like on tv. Whether it’s nerves or what, could be similar then.

    the typical mid term sees the presidents party lose 28 house and four senate seats. This isn’t that.

    but more relevant, I posted it up thread, if you plot an axis of mid term results vs, presidential approval, this is the best result for an incumbent party since 1950. The worst inflation in 40 years, the market down 20 percent or more, history on their side as far as mid terms, a low presidential approval, almost all of the purple states with senate elections, and they still couldn’t capitalize.
    It’s safe to say that the current GOP brand is toxic to centrists who decide these things.

    If I lived in PA (or anywhere) and those were my two options, I would have voted for Fetterman. However, in Fl, I voted Rubio. If it was Rick Scott not sure what I would have done.
