2022 Midterm Elections

Looks like Laxalt was underperforming a bit in the last drop of about 5450 rural votes, only padded his lead from about 800 to about 1950 votes. So it went about 61-39 Laxalt in that rural vote drop that just happened.

Looks like maybe 6350 rural votes remaining vs 26500 Washoe and 34100 Clark County votes left according to the Washington Post tracker.

I disagree. I do agree we have some stupid fossil mother ers advocating that but it will never happen.

Your party is run by the stupid fossil mother ers. They've already introduced legislation to ban abortion. What makes you think enough republicans would vote against it if they had the majority of congress?

So Masters had been hyping this Maricopa drop of about 73,000 votes that just happened as what would save his campaign. Turns out Kelly just beat him 40,700 to 32,300 in that drop.

Nah GA will still be crucial for them even if the Democrats win Nevada because it'll force Machin to take some votes that could hurt him in his 2024 re-election bid. If the Democrats take Nevada and Warnock wins the GA runoff then Manchin can go against everything Biden proposes without consequence.

honestly? I wish it had never been challenged. i'm pro choice and hate that it was overturned but legally it made sense. Now that it is up to the states people if it a huge huge factor for them can choose where they want to live if that is a huge factor for them.

what I mean is that the voters will give up

1) thin skinned trump will poison the georgia gop voters

2) voters will be deflated since they will know they wont win senate if they vote or not- and a lot will give up

yes- every extra senator will help dems due to manchin but with these results- i wonder if manchin wont think twice when he sees the direction the country appears to be headed-

throwing maga movement under the bus = manchin might weasel his way to the correct side

but i wouldnt count on that piece of

watching CC try to deal with the reality that he’s now a RINO is prey fun. Don’t worry, your party will return to sanity soon enough. In the meantime, just keep voting them. That’ll fix the issue.

Manchin + Arizona = 2 Republican votes.
Isn't that what we just experienced the last 2 years?

So i don't see how 51-50 helps with those two corrupt POS's.

They both confirmed Justice Jackson. Wouldn't get a sc justice a vote much less a confirmation if the GOP seats 51+ senators.

But that was an insignificant gimme since Turtle Head and Orange Blob stacked it up to 6-2 with Repugs.
The entire Build Back Better was stopped by Munchkin and Arizona . Not even a dime.

those two corrupt kunts are also POLITICIANS

and they will see what happened with the election and they also will see that dem voters are motivated to punish politicians who wont support their agenda

manchin spouting his bull that the country didnt give the dems a mandate can stfu and study the results because this supposed red wave to PUNISH dems

went the ing opposite way

right

if you look at it from the SCOTUS angle, the Dems already had 53 seats if you count Collins, Romney, Murkowski plus the 50 democrats. That wouldn't change even if the GOP had a 51-49 technical majority. Biden would still be able to force through any SCOTUS pick he / the DNC likes. This isn't 2016 with Scalia where the GOP had a big enough majority to prevent a Merrick Garland confirmation.

Yeah no, McConnell was in charge and refused to allow a vote because he knew Garland would have a good chance of confirmation if he did allow one.

[Winehole23]

Against odds, but there's a nonzero chance Dems keep the house. If the GOP ends up with a 1-5 rep majority, they might occasionally have to seek votes on the other side of the aisle.
