    Rs in October: “If they indict Trump there will be riots in the streets”

    Rs in November: “What the hell’s taking Garland so long?”

        Love the Trump shellacking. He is a comeback specialist though…

          It’s kind of like January of 2021. Much of his party was ready to turn the corner but his control of the base made it untenable and they quickly got back in line, else face primary challenges.

          What’s different now is there is at least one plausible alternative, and they now have three datapoints showing how bad Trump is for their electoral prospects.

          But still, it will take courage and a degree of collective action. Not sure how much of that is present.

            I admit, I'm a bit disappointed. I don't understand Pennsylvania electing a brain-damaged Senator. And I thought Walker would have done better in Georgia.

                    So you thought GA would elect a brain-damaged senator but not PA?

                    Walker is not rich like you, but his estimated wealth is somewhere around $12M. As such, he doesn't have to live in his parent's basement, unlike some other Senate candidates, who have never held a real job or owned a business.

                      Leftist messaging characterizes the market as "the rich people's piggy bank", and legislates against it accordingly. It is perfectly rational and predictable for the market to react this way to Democrat victories.

                        Yes, and by about next February they will figure out that this batch of democrats is just like the others.

                        A few dollars in the right place and the market will be just fine.

                                      I admit, I'm a bit disappointed. I don't understand Pennsylvania electing a brain-damaged Senator. And I thought Walker would have done better in Georgia.

                                      So you thought GA would elect a brain-damaged senator but not PA?

                                      Walker is not rich like you, but his estimated wealth is somewhere around $12M. …

                                      Yet he refuses to take care of his children or the mothers of his children.

                                        Well, at least Texas is ok and Kennedy retained his seat for Louisiana. But Jolly, watch out for what’s next….

                                          If the Nevada seat goes R AND if Lake does win in Arizona, does that change the narrative? Especially regarding Trump?
