WRONG! The fact is Trump called UVA marchers "very fine people". The UVA marchers were chanting "Blood and soil". That's a Nazi slogan. Don't you feel stupid yet, Musk? Not the first time I've pointed this out

Well, I warned about the bashful Trump voter. (No, not me. I have always been and remain Never Trump.) If results hold up with outstanding votes, Trump will be the first GOP candidate to win the popular vote since Bush.

I'm sure political scientists will be analyzing Harris' failed campaign for decades. I think Dems overestimated identity politics and abortion as a federal issue. Voters didn't believe in Bidenomics or a flip-flopping, word salad Harris.

A lot of people are calling Trump's comeback the greatest of all time. Never mind Cleveland's as a Dem in the post-Civil War era, Nixon failed against JFK in 1960 and then in a 1962 California gubernatorial bid before his 1968 election.

I'm probably saddest over Larry Hogan's lost Senate bid in Maryland (which I supported). Hogan had been a popular 2-term GOP governor in a solid blue state. He had a pragmatic leadership style much needed in the polarized Senate. I was hit by obnoxious Alsobrooks ads online & TV.

One of the few bright spots in yesterday's election results in yesterday's demotion of Senate Majority Leader Schumer is the hypocritical Dems are going to shut their mouths over dropping the filibuster and packing the Court. I'm glad Trump will name Thomas' successor.

Wow. I tried to promote Chase Oliver for POTUS, but it looks like he finished with maybe 0.4% of the vote and behind Jill Stein & (withdrawn) anti-vaxxer RFK, Jr. What a difference from 2016 when Gary Johnson won 3.27% of the vote, also against garbage candidates Clinton & Trump

Nope. Bill Barr is wrong. in other democracies like Italy and Israel, elected leaders are not above the law. Trump's criminal conduct occurred before the election. i don't give a damn what Trumpkins think. The election was not a unanimous verdict. https://t.co/vgWigIfP17

it's just so sad, yet so predictable, that certain leftists are blaming Harris' loss on a surge of racist misogynists. listen, when you go on a women's talk show and get stumped by a softball question of how your policies would differ from a POTUS with a 41% approval rating...

I think one of the more interesting things about the election was how the polls overestimated Harris' share of the vote and how election betting odds got the election right. Especially the House, just a baker's dozen uncalled races from the GOP retaining control.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) November 7, 2024
i just wanted to get a good sense of where the House stands. FNC has 209 R-193 D called (mostly AP calls). I'm showing slight R leads in AK-1, AZ-1, AZ-6, CA-13, CA-22, CA-27, CA-41, CA-45, CA-47, IA-1, NE-2, WA-4 *. (The last is between 2 Republicans.) So, the magic number is 9.

You are in a state of denial over an economy in trouble. There are reasons the Fed just cut the interest rates and it has to do with the second mandate. McDonalds isn't sustaining quarterly revenues, weakest new jobs in months, former jobs revised downward, global economy down.

This is a shallow analysis. Neither Clinton nor Harris had executive experience. They only had roughly a decade or less of federal experience. Bad business records aren't felonies; it's an untested legal theory not yet under appeal. Bill Clinton violated females as an elected man

McConnell takes arrows from both sides. Trumpkins have never forgiven him for criticizing Trump's unconstitutional behavior on J6. I actually admire the man. He's defended the Senate and served the nation across administrations under difficult circumstances.

Th House race update. FNC has it 210-198 as CA-40 goes R. NBC has it 211-199. I think the difference may be PA-10 goes R. So, if we go by NBC, the magic number is 7 for the GOP holding the House.

Dems still think they "own" green party votes. I'm not a Green Party voter. but I'm an LP and I assure you that I did not vote for Trump or Harris. If Chase wasn't on the ballot, I would have written in Hornberger or not voted in the race. The Greens have similar options. https://t.co/a04osEGRQX

No. The majority did not vote for "hate". They voted for change from an administration with a 41% job approval record. Households are worse off on inflation-adjusted terms.

I infer the recent Dem seat must be a flip because NBC vs FNC shows 5, not 4 flips. Both show the GOP with 6 flips. So the GOP shows at least one more flip to date. That may change in uncalled races, but after the current session, the likely GOP hold is the election story.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) November 8, 2024
FNC reports AP has called OR-6 D; NBC has added WA-3 D and now shows 212 R-204. It looks like CO-8 now has an R lead and CA-47 has a D lead.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) November 9, 2024
Latest House election update: NBC has called 1 race for a Republican and a Democrat (212 R - 201). So the magic number is 6 (really 5 because WA-4 is a runoff between 2 Republicans). Republicans currently lead in 4 California races and also races in Alaska, IA and AZ.
