The Democrats out spent the Republicans 3-1 in state legislature races, guys like Holder and Obama spent 3 years raising money for state legislatures in this vital redistricting year that could determine the House for a decade.
What a disaster
Republicans now have a majority in both houses of 31 states
Republicans control the legislatures and governorships in 23 states
The Democrats promised a Blue Wave and gaining 12 seats in the House, they lost seats!! They also probably lost the house for a decade.
Republicans are set to control the redistricting of 188 congressional seats — or 43 percent of the entire House of Representatives. By contrast, Democrats will control the redistricting of, at most, 73 seats, or 17 percent.
The Blue Wave has probably failed to take the Senate.
You can never truly gauge the cowardice of Republicans, but it's doubtful the Democrats will get a chance to cheat in 2022, federal and state electoral reform is coming, hopefully.
The Democrats had their big chance this year, if you are going to cheat, fill out the whole damn ballot.
First off it proves money doesn't necessarily buy elections..case in point...Bloomberg's money (billions?) in both the presidential election and money spent in Florida didn't buy anything but a smaller checking account.
Cowardice by Republicans? That a hoot...considering the democrats spent the first three years on impeaching a president without any evidence just because they could. Not one republican voted for impeachment or Senate conviction..in fact even a couple of those cowardly democrats vote against impeachment. When Clinton was impeached at least some democrats voted with the republicans.
When democrats follow the likes of AOC and the rest of the squad wanting to defund police and eliminate ICE, open borders etc. did you really think the rest of America would buy into that nonsense?
Democrats dug their own grave and now will suffer the consequence as the 2022 elections will shovel dirt in their faces as more than likely the republicans will take the house even with big tech and wall street continue funding democratic failing policies.
Biden if he survives and Harris will be a lame duck presidency for all four years.
True ...but which party will have to change to survive. Now to get real... the democratic party has changed over just the past four years...and it will have to change back to the Obama party if it wants to move forward. The current democratic party want to run on diversity I am afraid it won't register with the voters in 2022 and on. It appears even minorities are thinking twice about voting democratic if the Trump vote is any indication.
Give me a break, I can name plenty of places where the Republican party is dead and buried. Seattle, Baltimore, Detroit, Memphis, St louis, Newark, Milwaukee,Birmingham, most urban areas, probably NYC, California. There are plenty of one party dictatorships in this country. I lived in one in California.
The Republican Party is now a circular firing squad.
Pass the Popcorn.
