2022 US midterms election watch party/thread

[Muse]

Trump's boat leaking badly (no mention of impending indictments), just the GOP and likely its donors jumping from a sinking ship....

Guess what... in America votes DO count!

-----------------------

I wouldn't classify Biden as an unpopular President. Probably for most of his voters he was the second or third choice, and the age thing is huge baggage, but he has been quite effective in accomplishments, the balance of the Dem potential are mostly shrubs and the GOP competition is toxic.

Guess what... in America votes DO count!

Am I the only one who is pissed out that Trump got away with crime after crime while in office, was a continual liar, lacks any positive value, but the GOP mainstream totally backed up until his coattails weren't enough to sweep a bunch of (similar to Trump) nutjobs into office two years after his term was up?

Is a complete lack of principles in the GOP from top to bottom as far as I can see. Trump was a symptom not the cause.

Lol yes you’re the only one. The rest of us are greenman or Taj clones and are apologists for the orange monkey.

Instead of a jan 6th run at the capitol maybe Trump could repurpose that crowd and make a run on Ruperts front lawn. It'll be a peaceful protest of course with guns feces and nooses.

Again when he wins the first primary, the base will return and kiss orange monkey butt. They have no shame.

He barely won in 2016, and lost to a rather par (albeit old) candidate as an incumbent. He's an albatross at this point.

In both cases he was the overwhelming favorite in the GOP primary.

The best thing is he'll refuse to actually fade away and just stoke constant intraparty drama. The dumbfucks should've impeached him after 1/6.

Riddle: Who is the poster a few years back claimed Trump has no more influence in the country?

Trophy for the first correct answer to the best example of self ownage

Uhhh, somebody said that within the last two months. One of our resident GQP. I quote responded to that insane claim

Back to the Future stuff:

This should make any backlash to coming Trump indictments relatively mild compared to what they could have been.

Not only no shame, no brain.

Watched this a couple times the last few days. Where I live these people don't exist (Demo bubble). This is an eye & ear inside Trump America:

And likely asset to the Democrats because he'll split the conservative vote. How much shit is he going to throw at DeSantis? A two year tantrum a-comin'.

Yup, and the assertion that Trump was more on the minds of his enemies than Republicans. The pin's been pulled from the grenade amidst the GOP.

 

[emperus]

Just saw Walker's "slick" "big words" attack on Warnock. Wow. He's trying to elicit racist feelings of Warnock being an "uppity" black man who doesn't know his place. I heard him say this before but hearing it this time, it seems like a purposeful campaign strategy. Smh

Me watching Rs melt down that the US doesn't have proportional representation as their projected house margin enters low single digits:

 

[repoman0]

Haven’t been following closely for a couple days … is this real life that Dems might keep the house? 😂 where’s that fuckwit troll @imported_tajmahal, I need some tears to drink.

 

[manly]

In both cases he was the overwhelming favorite in the GOP primary.

Trump was not the favorite in 2016, but he stormed to the front of a crowded pack of lying sacks of shit. 😀 An early favorite was Jeb Bush, as he was moderate and came from a "famous" house. Turns out those were liabilities, and not assets.

I don't know exactly because I'm not aware of any computer models after Election night (i.e. 538 or NYT "needle") but the chances are still pretty low. It would take at least a couple comebacks in lean-right California districts to hold the House. My random guess is 25% chance at best.

If Dems held 217 seats (minority by 1), I'm not sure the GOP could elect a Speaker LOL.

There is an outside chance but more likely the GOP ends up with a 1-3 seat majority. Such a slim majority is a first class ticket to chaos and parliamentary games galore.

 

[repoman0]

Still funny as shit that these bubble-dwelling degenerates actually thought that their brand of garbage is what the country needed or wanted, whether Dems keep the house or Reps barely take it due to gerrymandering.

Or maybe the more moderate Reps will simply cave in to the MAGA agenda. Even a slim majority is certainly enough to block any meaningful legislation and probably to start endless investigations and possible impeachments. (Looking at your Hunter.)

So far they cannot agree that they've agreed on who will be speaker. Freedom Caucus types are already making trouble. I think massive chaos then a few Rs in Biden +5 or more districts saying "f this".

If they can get one to cross the aisle just for the speaker vote, they could elect Pelosi again.
