Who? O'Dea talked crap about Trump and he got CRUSHED. Vance won, Budd won, Walker probably going to runoff because the libertarian has done so well, MTG won, I can go on and on and on.

I hope I’m wrong, but as I expected months ago, the DemoRats will get a two seat majority in the Senate, and break even in the house.

And that would never happen with a legitimate election.
It boggles my mind how Fetterwoman is even running half the vote. The most pro criminal radical senate candidate in history, not to mention severely cognitively impaired. Is Pennsylvania that dense?

We owe Ron DeSantis and the Florida GOP a HUGE thanks for that redistricting plan. It's playing dividends in the battle for the house tonight.

Apparent homicides are down but violent crimes are up.
These figures don't take into account the huge population growth Miami has experienced.

There’s not enough vote left in Georgia for either guy to make 50 so that’s a runoff almost for sure

And the Dems did everything they could to lose.

DeSantis is the future of the GOP. Trump is done and good riddance.
I agree with everything you said! Kari Lake and Lee Zeldin were charismatic with good ideas but constantly pegged as election deniers and January 6th sympathizers. That scared away plenty of independents. I also think the abortion stance from some GOP candidates--like Tudor Dixon begin against it even in the case of rape or incest, even if the patient is a juvenile--motivated independent women to vote Democratic. As for Oz vs. Fetterman, the Fetterman camp was able to spin his poor debate performance into an I'm-the-underdog-like-you rallying cry. If he wins I can only figure it's because people put relatability ahead of issues. Were I Dr. Oz I wouldn't have even mentioned his stroke because there are too many voters with similar health struggles; too bad crime, immigration, and trans policy was barley touched on at the debate. Don't even get me started on Herschel Walker...

I voted for Trump twice but I REALLY, REALLY hope he doesn't run again because he was too easily emotionally manipulated by the neocons in his camp and too easily triggered into personal spats by liberals. I believe if DeSantis wants a wall he will actually BUILD one and not just tweet about it for four years. I don't even believe Trump will run; his ego can't take another defeat. He's addicted to the admiration and will hold rally after rally up until the 11th hour deadline to declare.

Walker!!!!!

I don't see how you can say that and they excuse Walker being in the race.

I don't know about Fetterman's criminal record honestly. I'm not a fan of his. As for his cognitive issues, having speech issues after a stroke doesn't mean that he is not capable of logical thinking etc. It's like when you get a leg injury and have to 'learn' how to walk or move again. Doesn't mean your brain can't function.

BUT...if you believe cognitively he's not cpaable...ok.

But WALKER can't complete a sentence. Add to that his criminal pass, his reltionship and business issues over the years -- a long history of erratic behaviour and by his own admission mental health issues.

So take them both out of the race....but to leave one in and claim the other isn't capable.......meh -- that's the problem with our politics.
