With just a few races uncalled (and Republicans leading in 4 of 5 contests), Democrats have lost nine seats.

………………… and when the fraud is reversed, it is going to get even worse for them.

When the fraud is made public in the upcoming trials, voters will abandon the dem party in the midterms. Nobody wants to be a part of the criminal party.

Nonsense.

Trump had decades of awful behavior before running for president. The adulteries, fraud, bankruptcies, etc. were bad enough but then he chose to go “full birther.”
He invited the attention and the subsequent coverage.

If people chose to ignore it, that’s on them.

Much like taking an insinuation of collusion with a foreign country, that was consistently proven to be false, unfounded, contrived and fraudulently perpetrated into a four year campaign to disrupt an administration?

Looks like Iowa 2 will flip Republican as Marianette Miller-Meeks leads by 6 votes following the recount and results are supposed to be certified tomorrow, November 30th.


Now if only California could finish counting votes. I keep hearing they're so much better than the rest of us rubes, but counting appears to be dang hard. Maybe they should work Sesame Street into their viewing rotation instead of the latest woke trash.

The press helps promote the Democrats while destroying them at the same time. They can't get enough of AOC, but in 2020 AOC only received 105,000 votes in her 700,000 person district. In 2018 she actually did a little better with 110,000 votes. Her district had one of the smallest turnout in the US.
Clearly, even the people in her district don't care who she is. Use THIS MAP and see; it is hard to find anyone who won with fewer votes, and even harder to find someone who received fewer votes in 2020 than 2018.

In IA-2, for example, there were 400,000 votes cast; each candidate got around 200,000. The Republican prevailed, but God Bless them both for slugging it out til the end.



AOC?....... Promote her they do with her idiotic statements and poorly thought out proposals. Mr and Mrs U S Voter do not like her at all, and promoting her and her ridiculous girls club, The Squad, does The Dems no favor. The Press carries on as if AOC had some sort of mandate, or maybe a vision for the future.



Frankly, I hope the press keeps it up. I don't think there is much chance Trump will prevail in 2021, but there is a very good chance for the GOP to take The House in 2022.

Districts that are heavily skewed to either party (NY14 is D+29) tends to suppress voting because people feel they know the outcome already and it discourages quality candidates from the other side. They only flip generally through redistricting or something really bad happens that gives voters a reason to pick "anyone else."


That being said, I wonder if Covid related population flight had anything to do with her reduced vote count?

Plus, her Republican challenger got 30% of the vote. In the Bronx and Queens? It is strange how much media attention she gets, considering that she puts on a pretty sorry election-day performance.

Covid had something to do with it?!

29% of registered voters show up in her district on the same day that 60% of registered voters showed up nationwide and you are willing to believe it had something to do with Covid?
Idaho - Blood Red Idaho - has 2 districts; one reported 375,000 votes and the other reported 441,000 votes. Michael Simpson (ID-2) has been there since 1998 and he got 135,000 votes. So it's not Covid and it's not the weather. I'm saying the people in her district don't care whether she runs or not. The only people who do are her parents and the press.
She's a liability and if The Dems had any credibility they would find another representative for the primary and get rid of her.
