It's good to see Trumpism losing ground across the pond. Hopefully, this signifies a moderation of rhetoric.
2022 US Elections
- Thread starter calodo2003
- Start date
I have to say this is a true relieve (so far) to read next to all those other dooming news over the last couple of months or even years.
Didn't say it was true, just showing a snippet of how GOP world is reacting to this. Right wingers presumably will go into crazier territory with time.
No I know. Its just typical Faux News wankery
No Death Santis is unhinged but unlike Trump can actually string a few coherent sentences together which makes him far more dangerous
Trump losing favour, yet he needs the nomination to avoid being indicted. The infighting is going to be glorious.
Could be that the odds of Trump being the next candidate have gone down given the rebuke of many of his candidates, while at the same time DeSantis has firmly established his appeal with the biggest win in Florida in decades, so DeSantis is a more likely winner overall?
Trump should be in prison
I'd say that's it. There is no Democrat with his momentum.
Good luck getting the base of that party to go for anyone that isn't Trump when he runs.
And good luck to anyone trying to stop Trump from running for the good of the party.

I hope this is the last we see of "Beto". What a shit politician. How much money has been wasted on that twat, he does nothing but take money and seek out "clippable" moments for twitter and tik-tok
So if everything stays the same in NY it looks like a House split of around Dem: 15 Rep: 11. That's down from Dem:19 Rep:8 in 2020
Shit efforts at redistricting in NY may well cost the Dems the House.

This. GOP voters still love Trump they're just not crazy about the candidates he endorses. Because they love Trump not republican politicians or even republican policies.
Desantis becoming the new leader of the right-wing and Trump holding onto the Qanon rump is perfect ground for a GOP civil war. Trump will be seething at DeSantis' gains.
A great night for democrats when all is said and done.
The Dems self-owning their way to defeat despite being handed an open goal by the GOP is modern US politics in a nutshell. It's like their doners pay them to bend over for Republicans.
This could be Biden's only hope of re-election because if the GOP gets behind a single candidate I really struggle to see him winning. In 2020 he had the wave of Trump being fresh in the mind and the awful handling of COVID-19, he won't have either of those things and its very possible a very painful 2 more years economincally. In those conditions I think the GOP sweeps into the White House pretty comfortably.
i think Trump is in serious trouble after today and he'll need to start a war with DeSantis to see where he sits in the party after this.
Let's really hope so.
Isn’t Florida basically concentrating the GOP vote of the retirement age group away from other states?
Isn’t Florida gerrymandered to feck though? To the point they were told it wasn’t legal and went through with their plans anyway?
They had us n the first half (Florida), not gonna lie.
No curvy couch this AM…
This is one thing i've always found odd about Fox News.....who are they complaining to?
The entire viewership, 100%, is going to be GOP, Ruby Red voters. They are screaming into a void. They are not even remotely interested in looking for an answer or discussing actual potential explanations for the results. Instead they just whine about their same old talking points - it's actually pathetic
Really it shouldn't be that complicated. Abortion, student debt relief, and potentially climate and election denial.
Gerrymandering does not affect gubernatorial elections and yet Desantis won 60%.
It has been a good night but seeing key states like Ohio and Florida swing further right does not bode well for 2024.
I see on the cnn website the senate is 48x48 right now. What are the 4 left and who's likely to win? I assume one is warnock, what about the rest?
I went to bed early yesterday as the guys on cnn were saying the signs weren't good for democrats.

Nevada - CCM should win
Arizona - Kelly should win
Alaska - don’t know how it looks for Murkowski
Wisconsin - too close to call, but Johnson might remain in office
Looks like Georgia and Arizona have a super close democratic edge and Nevada/Wisconsin are leaning GOP. If that's the case, the Dems could maintain the 50/50 draw which would be fantastic.
2024 - any chance we could be looking at East vs West? DeSantis vs Newsome?
Bit late to the party but watching Oz get embarrassed was the highlight of the night for me. Guys an absolute tool who shouldn't be anywhere near a public office.
Think about how much money will be spent (really just wasted on political ads) during a runoff in Georgia?

Yeah, the state's shifts so far right that it's no longer a bellwether of what's to come, impress what de santis has done with it.
Only good thing Florida did was give Congress it's first Gen Z member in Maxwell Frost
Still hoping Boebert loses In Colorado

oh god.... i thought this guy was dead in a ditch somewhere...
Ohio did at least. A recent This American Life episode was about Ohio getting rid of gerrymandering one year only to violate their laws and press ahead with a some serious gerrymandering anyway.
