I think it was a pretty good day for the Democrats. It looks like
#45 and the Supreme court pissed on the GOP's big red wave.

#45 and the Supreme court pissed on the GOP's big red wave. As you would expect it looks like our jive ass RORT pundit was wrong about how the election would be decided. According to him it was all going to be about
the economy. "No one really cared all that much about abortion or insurrections." It looks like abortion and insurrection will still be
hot issues in 2024. At this point the old RINOs are trying to figure out
how to dump both that issue and #45. OTOH, whether he likes it or not,
#45 has to at least pretend he's running so he can claim that all of his problems are political, instead of simply criminal. LOL
Most sources consider the race for governor here undecided, but the Oregonian has declared the Democrat the winner. She has too many votes
left to be counted in places that have a lot of votes. Mr.Nike has again failed to buy himself a governor. He says his politics are different
than his company's, which is a pretty sweet trick if you believe it.
Our crazy control law will probably pass, but only narrowly. The
next stop for that one is likely to be the Supreme court. OTOH we voted against slavery and probably narrowly defeated an unfunded mandate that
said everyone was entitled to health care.
The cherry on top was #45 likely losing the Senate, yet again. He
probably reduced the GOP margin in the House to almost nothing too.
Sarah Palin, among others, lost what should have been a Republican seat.
"Trump is 'screaming at everyone' after watching his hand-picked
candidates flop: CNN's Jim Acosta
Former President Donald Trump is reportedly fuming over the Republican Party's failure to produce a red wave, but he's not ruling out an announcement about a 2024 presidential campaign.
The twice-impeached former president's hand-picked GOP candidates
largely flopped in Tuesday's midterm elections, and Democrats still have
an outside shot at maintaining congressional majorities in both
chambers, which CNN's Jim Acosta said leaves Trump and his inner circle pointing fingers at one another.
“'Trump is livid' and 'screaming at everyone,' after last night’s disappointing midterm results for GOP, according to a Trump adviser,"
Acosta reported. "The adviser went on to slam the former president’s handpicked contenders: 'they were all bad candidates.' 'Candidates
matter,' the adviser said."
Trump had reportedly considered announcing a presidential run on Monday, ahead of the midterms, but sources say the election results muddle the timeline for entering the 2024 race.
"This adviser said it’s unlikely Trump would delay his expected presidential announcement because 'it’s too humiliating to delay,'"
Acosta reported. "But the adviser said there are too many unknowns at
this point."

"Donald Trump said the Trumpiest thing possible about the election
As votes rolled in from across the country Tuesday night, Donald Trump
said something truly incredible when asked about how much credit or
blame he should get for the election results.
“I think if they win, I should get all of the credit, and if they lose,
I should not be blamed at all,” Trump told NewsNation, adding: “But it will probably be just the opposite.”
Yes, he really said that. And, no, he wasn’t kidding. He would, quite simply, like to have his cake and eat it, too.
In Trump’s world, all good things are the direct result of his action while all bad things are definitely someone else’s fault. He is forever telling himself a story in which he is the forever hero – fighting off
the losers and the haters who are dragging him down.
Case in point, this tweet from Maggie Haberman of the New York Times:
“Trump is indeed furious this morning, particularly about Mehmet Oz, and is blaming everyone who advised him to back Oz – including his wife, describing it as not her best decision, according to people close to him.”
It was his wife’s fault!
The data tell a different story.
Trump was viewed favorably by just 39% of voters, according to the exit polling, while 58% saw him in an unfavorable light. Those numbers put
him below Joe Biden (41% favorable/56% unfavorable).
And there are other numbers in the exit polling that suggest Trump was a drag on Republican candidates. Almost 1 in 3 (28%) of voters said that
there vote was to send a message of opposition to the former president – and they voted 90%-8% for Democrats in the House. Just 16% said their
vote was a way to support Trump,
Aside from the exit poll numbers, there’s evidence of Donald Trump’s fingerprints all over this election – and not in a good way. He endorsed candidates in gubernatorial races in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Illinois
and Michigan who all lost convincingly as they struggled to develop a winning general election message. (In the Arizona governor’s race, election denier – and Trump endorsee – Kari Lake trails although there is still a significant number of ballots left to count.)
On the Senate side, Trump’s record was slightly better. While Oz lost in Pennsylvania, his endorsed candidates won in North Carolina and Ohio. In Georgia, the race between Herschel Walker and Sen. Raphael Warnock is
too early to call. Ditto the Arizona Senate race between Trump-backed
Blake Masters and Sen. Mark Kelly. And Nevada, where Adam Laxalt, who
had the Trump endorsement, leads Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto.
But, it’s a decidedly mixed record. And not one that Trump can take
credit for while avoiding blame.

Trump is, as Trump does... I expect Ms. YKW will soon throw him under the bus via divorce court, and begin her campaign as a poor abused, misused, and under appreciated, wifey, to seek her fortune on her own from a sympathetic public.... There's
I'm glad to see angst from the Ghost Dancers about MAGA Republicans ability to take them back in time, to that rosy past, when things were hunky dory, and everybody knew their place, but any crowing about victories will have to wait until things arefinally decided....
