Title: Election Day talk
Post by: Reacher on November 08, 2022, 06:49:24 PM
Absolutely pathetic that the Democrats are going to lose big in an election cycle where democracy itself was attacked and Roe v Wade was overturned. Years of corporate leadership has wrought this. We shoulda listened to Bernie.

Flame away.

Corporate Dems have tried to co-opt the Republican methods, but have failed to understand Republicans do it better than they do. It’s a perfect marriage of messaging and legal bribery.

Yes, Hispanics, especially those along the Texas border, have started voting Republican because of Corporate Democrats as opposed to Squad dumbfucks who love crime and open borders (both of which impact them more than they do you). As you like to say, "Ok chief."

I don't know jack shit about this, but it seems to me that there should be a different way of running polls than calling people as an "unknown caller."

I mean, who answers that shit? I don't.

We also have "spam risk" and "unknown caller" filters on our phones.  Agree, who is answering those calls?

The goal of many polls today is to get into the lazy mainstream media so that political analysts and pundits repeat the same talking points.

I’ll stick with the tea leaves.

I actually peeked at Fox, which I can't usually get through 15 seconds of. It was pretty funny. They definitely aren't news, they are just cheerleaders.

Yes, watching MSNBC, there is definitely the feel that they would prefer that Democrats win this race or that race, but when Kornacki gets up there, he's actually doing base analysis of the numbers. The token Republican is actually analyzing what went wrong for the Republicans and how the GOP might need to respond. FOX was just going about spinning how the night was actually good for the GOP

That started at 1AM CST.

Brett Baier and the ditzy blonde on Fox News were too stunned by Marc Thiessen's absolute thrashing of the Trumpers to pull any spin off.

My favorite example is how the entire moderate field bowed out just before Super Tuesday to the guy running a very distant 5th after winning one state. Nothing fishy about that.

Depending on how this finalizes, this could be amazingly epic.

If it's within 5 votes, MTG and her crazies will be able to demand massive concessions from McCarthy if he wants to be speaker. If it really drags on, one of two things could happen...

1) McCarthy offers some form of concession to a handful of moderate democrats to push him into the speaker's seat in order to not have to deal with MTG

2) Some ambitious second tier republican brokers a deal with 212 democrats and 6 republicans to be elected speaker.

Even if McCarthy does a deal with MTG, he's going to be constantly under that group's thumb. It will be insanely epic and make the Republicans look like utter fools rolling into 2024.

You think he is going to negotiate with Dems?

I just assume we will see all sorts of nut job investigations that will annoy everyone except the OAN  base and remind everyone of the nut jobs that are the Freedom Caucus in time for 2024.

I doubt McCarthy negotiates with the dems, but all it would take is one ambitious Republican and 6-10 friends to fuck McCarthy

Too bad he didn't pull this off.  To quote a Pueblo County voter, "I haven't voted for a Democrat since Carter until this election.  I'd have voted for a dog over her.  She's an embarrassment to our entire state."
