    History suggests otherwise. Big wins in the midterms by the opposition party have never resulted in emasculating the sitting President. Most of the time it has had the opposite effect, giving the sitting President more juice with the base and moderates for “standing up to the crazies on the other side.” The Republicans would be wise to remember that this time and not come out on the attack against Biden. It will backfire.

    There is a rather large difference between objecting to the rules of an election because they are unfair or undemocratic and claiming that the tabulation itself is fraudulent.

    Surely you understand this.

    As long as we have govt gridlock, neither team can muck things up too bad.

    My final picks for these races

    House: Reps gain 30+ seats - 244 Seats if I had to pick a single number

    Senate races:

    Pennsylvania: Oz (R) wins
    New Hampshire: Bolduc (R) wins a close race
    North Carolina: Budd (R) wins and it won't be that close
    Nevada: Laxalt (R) wins a close race
    Arizona: Masters (R) wins a nail biter
    Georgia: Walker (R) wins a close race but it will be close whether he avoids a runoff
    Ohio: Vance (R) wins and it won't be close
    Wisconsin: Johnson (R) wins by a few %
    Colorado: Bennet (D) wins
    Washington: Murray (D) wins
    Florida: Rubio (R) wins easily

    Governor races:

    Michigan: Whitmer (D) wins
    Wisconsin: Michels (R) wins a close one
    Minnesota: Walz (D) wins
    Arizona: Lake (R) wins by a few %
    Nevada: Lombardo (R) wins
    New Mexico: Grisham (D) wins
    Oregon: Kotek (D) wins - I doubt the 3rd option gets enough % for the (R) to win
    New York: Hochul (D) wins a close one
    Pennsylvania: Mastriano (R) wins in a really big upset (I probably have the wrong big upset)
    Georgia: Kemp (R) wins easily
    Texas: Abbott (R) wins easily
    Florida: DeSantis (R) wins easily
