    Republicans are going to end up with 219/220 seats in the house, giving them a slim 2-3 seat majority…

    Yup. Waiting for the breakdown but most likely dem redistricting in California played a big role.

    Kari Lake won the Republican primaries via the same voting system in Arizona that she's now complaining about while losing to Katie Hobbs in the mid-terms.
    • Ironically, Kari Lake didn't complain about the exact same voting system when she won the Republican primaries. :D
    Reminder, in 2021, Arizona was one of the 17 states nationwide to enact new restrictive voting laws.

    The fallout for Trump…

    The Republican base has a way of just trashing their former presidents and it looks like Trump is now in the proverbial barrel.

    I think the biggest challenge DeSantis has is getting the Republican base to get rid of their Trump merchandise, ie MAGA hats, flags etc. There can be a sense of defeat for former Trump supporters to get rid of their “merch” but it will seal the deal.

    Yeah they should trade in their red hats for brown shirts --- and fully come out of the closet for what they are.

    Looks like even the count for the US House seats is taking a long time. It does not portend well for Republicans. The Democrats might still win the House which would be a huge disgrace.

    Right wingers on ET: Everything is awesome.

    Elected Republicans: the midterms were a funeral for the Republican Party.

    :rolleyes:
