2022 House and Senate election

Desantis / Scott would be a really tough ticket to beat.

 

Honestly, i think Trump stays non-committal for a very long time. I think this announcement tomorrow is a feint. I think he keeps teasing it so that the money keeps coming in. Eventually he will bow out and keep the funds to try and continue to play king maker and to pay his legal fees.

 

When you have one of the top republicans in Arizona says that he hopes the America First people lose in order to cleanse the party you get a self fulfilling prophecy.

 

I would only say that about Lauren Boebert or MTG, not the Arizona nominees.

 

That's what McCainites did though in AZ. They also created a PAC to beat the MAGAs. We can't have the establishment openly sabotaging MAGA like this.

Maricopa election officials launched PAC in 2021 to stop MAGA candidates

Yeah, Boebert and MTG haven't learned that you can be a fighter without being a clown. Jewish space lasers. lol

 

Looks like Cruz is openly campaigning against McConnell. Interesting.

 

Cruz is one of only a few Senators with gonads to do what’s best for the party and country versus self interest.

 

But remember, he goes on vacation to Cancun instead of working his shifts at the power company.

 

My view of Arizona Republicans is complicated. I tend to align more with the Establishment crowd (though more like John Kyl than McCain or Jeff Flake). I don't like McCain bashing that isn't policy-driven. However, I don't like the establishment's sanctimony and willingness to bolt absent an ideological failing. I didn't like Lake or Masters as candidates, but they weren't ideologically bad.

Basically, I don't especially like either side and think someone should knock their heads together like Moe with Larry and Shemp and tell them to work their **** out. It has been going on for 22 years, and it gets old.

Boebert is hot though. Credit where it's due.

 

And left poor Snowflake to fend for himself!

 

Yeah, we have to turn down the internal ruckus

Even though populists are slightly harder to elect in certain areas I believe they are the only ones who can fix things and who will fight. Under the establishment we keep losing the long game even when they're in complete power. Like Mona said we're dying a slow death with these people in charge.

 

Some tidbits:

1. 10 races where GOP lost or losing with >48%.
2. GOP winning the national count.

 

Like Horn2RunAagain said the math in this election is wonky as hell.

 

It's just astounding to me that a week after the election has been completed, there are districts in California with only 40% of the votes counted.

 

There are 13 House races STILL not called.

 

Good. McConnell clearly did not have the best interests of either Republicans or the nation at heart with some of the lack of support displayed in the recent cycle.

I don't care if the one on the ballot isn't your first or even fifth choice. If you are the Majority Leader, then you support WHOEVER has the R next to their name or else you admit that you are willing to see the nation continue to spiral downwards as the Demx continue their tax and spend nonsense...

 

Exactly. I can't stand Mitt Romney but I supported him 100% when he ran against Obama.

 

That absolutely smells.

 

And this is why I like Desantis.

 

I hope he runs. No guarantee that he will.

 

Are you feeling okay, Deez? You're thinking like a conspiracy theorist.

 

Not exactly accurate. 40% of precincts haven’t finished counting. Likely >90% of vote is in.

 

It might be totally innocent, but it smells. Whoever is in charge of counting the votes in these states sure as hell doesn't care about the appearance of legitimacy. If I ran things and was having this much trouble I'd be extremely open about it and why and in great detail.

 

I'm referring to some of the districts. For instance, look at CA District 9 where currently only 79,108 votes have been counted vs 2018 midterm when a total of 200,763 votes were cast. That means less than 40% of the total votes have been counted & reported in that district.

California's 9th Congressional District

 

Mr D
Yes!!! And it smelled too in 2020

 

Less so, and more plausible reasons were given for it. This certainly looks worse.

 

? In many many cases it was the EXACT same stuff
In others it was more egregious.
Ex, Why did the State Farm center get shut down at night for a reporteed pipe leak at 6:30 am and pipe leak was dismissed?
Shut down but counting still went on?
