2022 House Election: GOP 50.6% Democrats 47.8% and Pelosi loses the Speaker for the 2nd time. Is that batting zero?
Was this thread about the house???? Look at the house today they can't even elect a speaker. State after state gerrymandering is being undone by lawsuits. That house majority is slipping away by the day.

and how is your post make the Democrat party any better? Pelosi is out and your leader of your party is Biden with a 37% approval. You act like Democrats have a mandate. LOL

I'm just pointing out your picks lose 99% of the time.
I don't know if either state will elect a Democratic governor in 2024, but the first to do so will most likely be Georgia, I suspect. (with little reason to believe both of those states will ever become blue)
Georgia has more economic opportunity and a milder climate. Both are good population builders. But population alone never makes a state blue or red.
All I know is if I was a resident of Arizona, I would vote for a rabid spaniel before I'd vote for Kari Lake. The spaniel would be more sane and more intelligent. And better behaved in public.
Biden is President and is on the ballot in every state the Democrats supports his policies.. To ignore Biden and the economy shows how out of touch you are. Now wonder you still obsessed with Trump.
Yup. You're right.
Trump never cared about the economy. So why should we?
I'll admit to more TDS now than I had in 2016. I've always thought Trump was an anti-social maniac, but I never thought he was a wannabe dictator until Jan 6, 2021.

Neither state has a governor election in 2024. The Democratic governor in Arizona and Republican governor in Georgia currently in office have terms that will end in 2026.
In a 2022 context looking back, it's obvious that Kemp was a much better Republican candidate for his state than Lake was for hers. If Georgia Republicans nominate a #MAGA sycophant in 2026 when Kemp is termed out, we may finally elect a Democratic governor - to the obvious dismay of many forum posters.

That's the key. The Republican they rejected in the primaries, Taylor-Robson, in Arizona would have won by a large margin. But instead, they nominated a Trump loving, election denying, crazy Q conspiracist in Lake. That said, it is not all that unusual for Arizona to elect a Democrat for governor. The last before Hobbs was Janet Napolitano. She resigned to join the Obama administration as Sec of Homeland Security leaving the state to Jan Brewer. The state then entered a dark period from which it is slowly emerging.

Georgia has had mostly Democrat governors. The first Republican governor since the Reconstruction Era ended in Georgia was only elected in 2002. Georgia has only had 6 total Republican governors since becoming a state, the 6th of whom is Kemp.

Yes.
MAGA is oblivious to how unpopular they are in some states and with some of their candidates.
Republicans also don't appear to realize there are many Democrats that are almost as conservative as they are in some issues.
Since the Governor is the person who always sits right on the balance point of a state's social scale, a Repub candidate's acceptability could be as important to his election as his conservatism. Just as a Democratic candidate's acceptability is as important as his liberalism.
Kemp makes sense to me for Georgia; he was accepted if not universally admired.
Lake made no sense at all to anyone but MAGA in Arizona.

Your amnesia is not a joke. Your lies are up there with Biden getting arrested in Africa to see Nelson Mandela.
