The first very Marlinga TV ad I saw aired just three days before election day, and it was clearly low budget.

I think Marlinga is right that if his party brass had spent any meaningful money on his race, he might've emerged victorious.

The whole abortion reaction was a H*** tactical error by state Republicans. Had they responded to the SCOTUS decision by passing a law protecting abortions with restrictions, it would have taken the issue off of the ballot.

They have a base that would have stayed home in droves.

Herschel is advising Trump about his politics... This is great.

"I'm advising the president to hold off until after the Georgia race, after Herschel Walker," onetime Trump campaign spokesperson Jason Miller said on Newsmax Wednesday. "Priorities A, B and C need to be about Herschel right now. This is bigger than anything else in the country."
For Kristian Trumpers are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.

:lol: Of course, it is! That asshole will still declare next Tuesday, he'll lose the Senate AGAIN for the no-balls Republicans, and they will still keep their mouths shut.

They have to keep their mouths shut... they're too deep in bed with him now. They all knew that, given the opportunity, he'd hijack the party. But they mortgaged the future for the "now" in '16. And now they have to depend on his base of voters that know nothing of politics or the Republican platform. They know "TRUMP!!!!" and "MAGA". And if he's not on the ballot as the GOP nominee, he'll run as an independent, completely split that ticket in '24 and ensure a Democratic victory. The GOP has painted themselves into a corner with him and it's ride or die now.

I was listening to something and it had a clip of Ben Shapiro in it. He was talking about Trump and he called him a wrecking ball, and that anyone who is smart will just stay out of his way because they will get wrecked by him. I agree with that analogy. I think that ties into what you are saying here because even if someone else is chosen, he will wreck them and it will just hand the Dems a W. Depending on how long Trump wants to go, he could probably keep it up for two more elections. He's fat as fuck though, so he can also just keel over at any moment.

New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

About 90 percent of the vote is now counted in Nevada and 82 percent is now counted in Arizona.

There is a material chance - albeit not a great one - that the Dems won't even need Georgia to retain Senate control.
Katie Hobbs has also maintained her lead. Most of that remaining 10% is mail in ballots in Phoenix which is already breaking for Hobbs.

Lake is already ranting about fraud. I don’t see how DeSantis is gonna be a true Trump alternative. Most of the candidates where it counts were Trump clones without the baggage and they still got thrown under the bus by the voters. Trumpism as a philosophy seems to be a loser at this point.

Weird piece of trivia. Jared Loughner, the guy who tried to kill Gabby Giffords, Mark Kelly's wife and ex-congresswoman, is in the same federal medical center they put Dennis Hastert in back in 2016.

She has to worry about the rural areas to an extent. Yes, 95% reported in each of those counties may only mean about 5000 votes. But Clark County won’t be 75% for her either. Very possible there will be a recount either way.
They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.
