Well done, Senator Kelly! You are another choice for sanity in our government. Thank you for your service .

As for Blake Masters and his puppetteer Peter Thiel: Crawl back into the ground where you belong. Your money does not make you smart about how to run a government that helps all citizens.

Trump’s startling DeSantis claim made it into a Florida courtroom in only 24 hours: report (msn.com)
Gillum’s lawyers seized on Trump’s social media remarks in their filing.

“Former President Trump’s posts raise serious questions about how exactly Trump ‘fixed’ DeSantis’ campaign and what Trump directed the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office to do, and whether there is any connection to the FBI’s investigation and later prosecution of Gillum,” Gillum’s lawyers argued.

Every generation had a word for this, from “tantrum” to meltdown," because every generation has dealt with 2- and 3-year-olds who can’t regulate their emotions. For those who never learn to we have prisons for some, anger management classes for others, and obscurity for still others. I think it’s slowly dawning on many of us that the Oval Office is not an appropriate place for such a person.

· 47m I had such great success on Endorsements, perhaps success like no one has had before, both for Republican Nominations and the General Election itself, and I continue to get Fake News, RINO, and Radical Left criticism, but seldom congratulations or praise. That’s the way it is, and that’s the way it will always be!

Thanks! I grabbed some screen shots for anyone who wants to peruse it more closely in still form. I’m not sure when this data is from, though… for instance there’s a huge red dot over Arizona and hardly any blue, which seems like it might be old data from when this area was less purple?

Holding onto the Senate and losing the House by 3 to 5 seats is not a seismic political win per se. But it is a seismic win against the conventional wisdom of a midterm wipe out of the President’s party. I think the pollsters were overly influenced by tradition and tainted their predictions with it.

There was WAY too much shit going on for them to have done that. Roe of course but the USA was coming off Trump withdrawal and it seems it also had become a bit resistant to billionaire donor lies. This was not an ordinary election. It was the first one following SCOTUS revealing itself, Jan. 6 and Roe. The GOP was blocking Biden from student loan forgiveness and bitching about the popular support of Ukraine. Women, young people and to some extent older Americans after Scott’s “fuck em” policy had been singled out. Made targets. I’m surprised no pro figured this into their predictions.

Polling is now dead. May it rest in misery.
