    I don’t think he can. He’s just not as verbally skilled or extemporaneous. Limbaugh is essentially thinking out loud a lot of the time. Trump is not as skilled at that.

      I dunno. Trump doesn't have much depth. He says the same thing again and again in simple terms - which is a great for a politician. Rush has to actually think through the events of the day and provide analysis.

      Trump does better reacting with a gravity of an office around him - and having all the Trump whisperers around him explaining what he actually means in terms of specifics.

      I do think he has some sort of successful future in media - I don't think it's based on a current archetype though.

          This was pretty much a slaughter as it is. Blue were supposed to pick up 15 seats in the House and 4 in the Senate. They picked up a net of 1 in the Senate and are losing seats in the House. There's talk of Pelosi not being Speaker. Biden is squeeking by - and I disagree that Trump will be a non-entity as a review of his career suggests, he never gives up. It is not part of his nature.

          With the 24 hour news cycle? He will be a fixture talking head. For most people the presidency is the pinnacle of their career. He will not see it that way at all.

          Again, he made plans before the last election which he didn't expect to win. I think he follows through with and expands the plan. He wants to do battle with the MSM and his detractors. I think he has the potential to be more than Rush - or Bernie or the Grateful Dead. AND after bashing Biden and the Dems for a couple of years, he can announce his campaign to run again. He's not a fader. If you didn't watch Frontline, you should. He's not a well adjusted human being, more of a cyborg.

            You guys are probably right.

            But, wouldn't it be fun to hear him rant for a couple of hours a day.

            Never mind.

            The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              I know all that. But it's time the Left got what they've been wanting for so long.

              This nation no longer deserves to survive.

                            Give it a rest. There is no mandate to pursue that agenda - far from it. If they try they will get slaughtered in 2022.

                              But AZ has tightened considerably. It was in the high 80s earlier

                                Nate Silver says AP and Fox should reverse their AZ calls.

                                He says he still thinks it’s more likely Biden wins the state but it’s by no means sufficiently assured for the state to be called.

                                    Maricopa... Trump took this last vote tally +18 and there’s still another 340K ballots left from there.

                                    Something is up in Nevada regarding provisional ballots.
