Do I have a political strategy to defeat Trump? Not in a free tweet. But some hints:
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) November 6, 2022
- Trump has a track record and no longer is an outsider
- He has some personal issues, like his impulsiveness and ego, which can be exploited.
- Don't make him a victim.

Trump ran for the Reform Party nomination in 2000. He spent most of the 2000's as a registered Dem, and he supported Clinton and then Obama in 2008. You can't get more RINO than Trump.

Scott has specifically refuted this conspiracy rubbish. You Dems have been running on these lies for decades. We have both programs running on fumes with ZERO effort by Obama or Biden to shore them. Thus, if the programs fail, it's the Dems' fault.

The Republicans better be wary of Wes Moore, the black governor-elect of MD, who I see an upgrade from Barry Obama, a former Army officer and Rhodes Scholar, a businessman and entrepreneur. He demolished a loaded Dem field, including Perez and the long-time comptroller.

As a libertarian, I am intrigued that Congressman DeSantis was a founding member of the Freedom Caucus. While I'm wary of his ties to Trump, DeSantis has his own extensions to Trumpist populism without Trump's toxic record and baggage, more politically viable.

You're a pathological liar over the 2000 election. Jeb Bush was governor, not secretary of state. George Bush won 2 objective machine-scored counts. Gore tried to steal the election by having Dem-controlled precincts mine disqualified ballots. A later FOIA request confirmed Bush.

The Left is circulating a rumor that you warned Twitter employees about bankruptcy, that Twitter revenue has dropped off a cliff since the acquisition. You need to confront these perceptions.

I meant to type "Politics of Envy" instead of Evil. Call it a Freudian slip. I don't have Twitter Blue and can't edit my tweets.

Cherokee Lizzie is an economic illiterate, corrupt political whore, whose whole shtick is an evil, morally corrupt, counterproductive Politics of Evil and legalized plunder. She is "Senator Karen", but that's only part of her loser, pathetic character.

House update: GOP 211-196. The GOP remains 7 shy. It does look a possible flip in MD failed. I see the GOP leading: CO-3, AZ-6. CA-13, CA-22, CA-27, CA-41. CA-45, NY-22, OR-5. Some of these are slim leads. Possible but unlikely other lead flips. Best case: 220, 2 over majority.

Trump is such a narcissistic dumbass. Fewer voters show up at midterms. DeSantis got under 4.1 million in 2018, so his numbers went way up. What Trump doesn't mention he only beat Biden by 3.3 points, not DeSantis' 20 pt landslide against a former governor https://t.co/5itsGoCNtS

Not to continue beating a dead horse, but the issue is what, if anything, Twitter did after becoming aware of the impersonated Markey account. Musk made it clear Twitter would take action against fake verified accounts.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) November 12, 2022
So is Markey with his blue check account the "real Markey" or is it from the fake WaPo Markey?
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) November 12, 2022
Did prior Twitter management have checks against blue check accounts impersonating others? Clearly not, or else a dimwit like Kathy Griffin couldn't have pulled it off.
Nope. Unlike Trump, DeSantis understands policy and has political principles beyond Trump's lust for power and attention. Trump soiled the Presidency with the justified 2 impeachments against him.

Trump isn't competent on national policy, never mind the state/local issues Youngkin ran on. Trump lost Virginia twice in his Presidential tuns. Youngkin deliberately distanced himself from Trump during his general election campaign. Trump always tries to take credit for others. https://t.co/j2KNlmnpVK

FNC has called the AZ Senate for Kelly over Trump-endorsed Masters. This pulls the Dems into a 49-49 tie. With mail ballot trends going against Laxalt, the Dems are likely to pull ahead over the weekend and the GOP will be fighting for an even split in Walker's runoff.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) November 12, 2022
It looks like the 3 boneheaded Trump Senate endorsements in PA, GA, and AZ cost the GOP control of the Senate. And the idiot is rumored to announce his Presidential candidacy next week.

You're dead wrong on this one. I don't think ME is a plurality state; it's a ranked-choice state.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) November 12, 2022
That being said, I think he's just a point-plus from a majority and he needs only about a third of Bond's voters to go over the top. I do think he wins, but not like you think.
I agree with the decision but Biden will appeal.

I don't think loan debtors are to blame for GOP underperformance in the midterms. One Youtube conservative suggests that their rural constituency didn't show up as expected.
You mean, control with Harris being the tie-breaker.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) November 12, 2022
You're wrong: this is a ranked-choice state, not a plurality. He will likely win the next round, but you're premature.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) November 12, 2022
FNC has Dems closing in on GOP in the House 211-201. This means there are now 23 uncalled races. This means the Dems need 17 of the 23 to keep their majority. The GOP at last check leads in 9, which means the Dems need to flip 3 of those leads.

In other news, NV GOV GOP.
For crying out loud, @elonmusk , why don't you have a uniqueness validation check on Twitter names for verified accounts? https://t.co/NzKcZPrghd

Um, you're not informed. Twitter Blue existed before the Musk acquisition. It continues to exist.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) November 12, 2022
Twitter Blue has been a premium subscription service including the ability to edit tweets. Musk is going to bundle/tie in blue check/verification into Blue--in the near future.
It turns out (surprise, surprise) Trump's claims of having intervened in DeSantis's 2018 election are a complete fabrication.https://t.co/dkxrNtHeK6
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) November 12, 2022
Nope. This is amateurish leftist pro-abort wishful thinking. 60% of the Senate seats were held by Republicans. Democrats only won over one open seat (PA) and basically benefited from bad candidates against vulnerable Dem incumbents. GOP got hurt by turnout in some states.

As much as I don't care for Coulter, and note she just recently wrote that Trump should shut up, she just hit the hammer on the nail on 2 past Presidents. https://t.co/duZapWgJEa

Just a reminder a "real" Senate majority requires winning both NV and GA, although a likely Dem split or better guarantees Dem control with VP Harris. No doubt the GOP blew regaining a majority with bad nominees against weak Dems. Now they may need to settle for a split in GA. https://t.co/2LzeYZte40

Just a reminder that Ron Paul, the 1988 LP nominee, returned to the GOP in the 90's, resuming his Congressional career and also ran for POTUS in 2008 and 2012 https://t.co/vEQdzU8IyL

The Dem incumbent Catherine Cortez Masto (NV) came from behind in mail ballots to be reelected, Senate Dem #50, guaranteeing continuation of Dem control, regardless of the Walker runoff next month.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) November 13, 2022
Dems also closed on 2 House seats, now trailing 211-203.
I still see leads for 9 Republicans for up to 220 seats, majority+2, although CA-13 and CO-3 remain razor-thin and a lot of votes pending in the former.

This is a polite way of saying Trump and his acolytes (like Hawley, Boebert & MTG) screwed up. I knew Oz was done when I heard people complaining about him dubiously promoting pills on his TV show, https://t.co/8iavkmX9cG

The new party is dead. They have no credibility after you Trumpkins cost the GOP the Senate, and they'll be lucky to win a bare majority in the House.

No, GA doesn't have ranked choice voting. I think given an awful choice between Warnock and Walker, most libertarians would hold their nose and vote for Walker as the lesser of two Statist evils. https://t.co/ljZ17GRo6T

Let's look at the fact we have now seen two consecutive GA general elections gone to runoffs, which would not have under a rank choice system. A rank choice system probably would have stopped the Trump phenomenon in 2016, limit spoiler candidates. https://t.co/mJfBdWJyua
