Evers won by more than Johnson did if you want to call it eking.


Pubs only have that one house seat in NY they flipped this was no red wave, and almost a disaster they only have a few seat majority in the house. The more extreme the house is with GOP control will only push moderate voters more towards the democrats exactly what happened in this election.

Biden is a lame duck and the Marxist agenda is DOA. That’s all that really matters.

The only incumbent governor who lost was a Democrat, Steve Sisolak in Nevada. It’s shocking to me that people wanted to reward COVID tyranny and incompetence but it is what it is. Maybe if all the sane people had stayed in WI, MI, MN, NY and IL, things would have been different. We will never know. I’m just glad sanity prevailed in Florida, bigly.

I'm used to it. I watched over the past twenty-five years in San Francisco as residents complained about the homeless, the trash, car break-ins, crappy city service ect. yet continue to support the Dem every election.

Hey, if you don't like what is going on vote for a change.

You get the government you vote for.

Same here .... watched Connecticut continue to vote for the same party over and over, and be shocked when the problems remained the same.

Facts matter. Ron Johnson BARELY won, with a 26k vote margin, 1% of the vote; whereas Evers won with over a 90k margin, 3.5% of the vote. That is NOT 'eking' out a win and Evers' margins were higher in GOP counties this year than the previous election.

Had Barnes not been black with a history of BLM rhetoric, he would have defeated Johnson who has been making stupid comments on Medicare and Social Security.

It was Ron Johnson who EKED out the win against a bad candidate. I expected Barnes would experience an embarrassing loss. Instead, it was Johnson who experienced an embarrassing win. He should have performed MUCH better against Barnes. Will it teach him to stop talking nonsense? I doubt it.

When a moderate voter thinks of the republican party what they see is a man shouting about marxist while wearing a red MAGA hat at a school board meeting.

Good luck in 2024 your going to need it.

Yep. If the country survives another 2 years of Joe Biden. Our 401Ks won’t.

Dow still higher than when Trump left office. Dow closed up 1200+ this week at 33695 when Trump left office at the end of 2020 the dow was 30993. The dow has recovered almost half of what was lost since the top in January 2022 which was 36835. Markets go up and down 401k's if invested properly will always recover and over decades end up beating inflation or better. That should be the goal of a 401k to save as much as you can and beat inflation tax deferred.
