Well that’s good, since Biden is about as moderate as they come.

My insiders are telling me, tht Republicans wil hold both those Senate seats. .
Your “insiders”? Is that what you call the voices in your head?

And what can you say about Kelly Loeffler? She was appointed Senator by the Republican governor because......why? Oh yeah, because she married a rich guy (Jeffrey Sprecher) who donates millions to the GOP. Talk about sleeping your way to the top!

She was an executive in the company. She earned her way to the top. Put a mortgage on the family farm to pay her way through grad school. Very bright. Very articulate.

Millions to the GOP? Got anything supporting that but hot air?

No doubt the GOP overall did very well...and had they had a Presidential candidate that acted like an adult, and actually was a leader, no doubt they would have won the White House.
But as it is, we'll get split government just like under Obama after 2010.

Sure. Is this air hot enough for you?

After marrying the firm's (Intercontinental Exchange) CEO, Jeffrey Sprecher, in 2004..... she was eventually promoted to senior vice president of investor relations and corporate communications. In 2018, Loeffler became the chief executive officer (CEO) of Bakkt, a subsidiary of Intercontinental Exchange

Sen. Loeffler’s husband cuts $1 million check to pro-Trump super PAC
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/0...per-pac-272626

"The big dollars go to Republican candidates and groups. Loeffler has poured six figures into Republican party committees, including one that will support her in 2020. The National Republican Senatorial Committee, which has received $247,500 from Loeffler and her husband, will back Loeffler, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported."

Over a million identified. Ok.

I had no doubt they gave money, but wondered where your "millions" came from. There's a lot of stuff thrown around with no basis.

In the Senate, Pubs picked up #50 in AK today. GA's 2 are pending runnoff, but look good. Mitch will very likely stay in charge of the Senate, w/ Shumer playing 2nd fiddle again.

The Fraud allegations are coming to fruition with thousands of signed sworn affidavits claiming fraud. The mail-ins may come under Supreme Court scrutiny.

Republicans were +1 in the Governors races.

And in other news:

-FBI corruption testimony has revealed admitted FISA abuse by FBI brass.

-The fake news Pollsters have failed miserably again in this election cycle.

-The SCOTUS is reviewing the legality of the ACA again w/ 2 new fresh sets of eyes on it

-Darrell Issa is back in the House of Reps

-Should Biden hang on, he has no clear edict from the American people to push hard left
Add that the down ballot state legislature races were very kind to the GOP.

Add that the GOP did historically well with minorities.

Add that the president's party generally loses the mid-terms, so expect a wipe-out of Biblical proportions in two years.

A very heavy silver lining.

That's because all of us conservatives voted R down ballot. But not necessarily at the top.
