Very predictable. People on Twitter were already mocking them that they will aim to increase the voting age
Budaatum and Obrigado you see what I am talking about the Republican party will still not learn its lesson anytime soon they will still go off the deep end because they have no bottom.
Just look at these people they wanna raise the voting age now grin
It's the Basilico's who want to raise the voting age. The Desantis would not touch toxic them.

Its okay for 18 year olds to have guns.
10 year olds can be forced to have babies.
But they can't vote till they are 21.

Republicans will soon start campaign to ban young people from voting, De Sanctimonious will lead the charge, he has already banned alot in Florida
GenZ will riot if anyone tried it. We'll just show them blacks and women fighting to vote and that would energise them even more.

Murdoch has had enough it seems

NY Post: "What Tuesday night’s midterm election results suggest is that former President Donald Trump is perhaps the most profound vote repellant in modern American history."

A wild-card candidate for Speaker would be, believe it or not, Trump grin

I know it sounds crazy, but nothing in the US Constitution, U.S. statutes or U.S. House rules limit the Speakership to sitting members of the HOR...
He is not smart enough to run for Senate, thank God.

I'd propose MTG, but she's not smart enough to remainin in Senate neither, thank God.

They're both made for fantastic comedy.

---Various predictions about the red wave---

Fox News host, Jesse Watters: "We are looking at a historic massive red wave coming"

National Review - Jim Geraghty: "Midterm Predictions: The ‘Red Tsunami’ Comes into View Once More"

New York Times conservative columnist David Brooks suggested "we’re probably looking at a red wave election" in a piece headlined: "Why Republicans Are Surging"

According to "longtime observer of the Washington scene," Newsweek's Peter Roff: "A Red Wave is Coming. The Only Question is How High It Will Be"

There was the New York Post's Michael Goodwin who bigged up Lee Zeldin's chances under the headline: "New York Red Wave is coming ashore"

There was Doug Schoen, former Democratic Party consultant turned Fox/Newsmax commentator: "How the impending red wave could become a tsunami"

Senator Ted Cruz predicts 'not just a red wave, but a red tsunami' for Republicans on Election Day":
More like purple rain.

Isn't that the most refreshing thing? I would miss her lol, we won't have #laurenboebertisdumb trending again lol grin
I must to gloat.

If you’re in a celebratory mood today, you’ve got good reason. The fears — including my fears — about a wave of election-deniers sweeping into offices did not happen. Virtually every swing-state denialist candidate for governor, attorney general or secretary of state was defeated. Democratic governors in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin will serve as bulwarks to keep their elections fair; Democrats actually gained control of the Legislature in Michigan, and Republicans did not win veto-proof majorities in Wisconsin or North Carolina. In every state where abortion was on the ballot, voters chose to protect it. And GOP Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert may go down to defeat, thus instantly raising the collective IQ of the House of Representatives.

He will not beat Biden. cheesy
DeSantis does not have the kind of appeal Trump has to get diehard supporters.
If Biden runs he wins. The Dem coalition as long as they keep turning out the vote they will win.
Biden currently gets antidump votes. He'd lose them if dump disappears, especially with inflation and fed induced job loses and a recession. And 2 years is enough time for Desantis to rise.

We'll see, I guess.

Trump went on Truth social to bash his own candidates Oz and Bolduc claiming they would have won if they were more unequivocally Trumpists. Bolduc flip flopped on the issue of whether Trump won the 2020 elections, same as Oz who didn't equivocally declare that Trump won in 2020 so in Trump's reasoning, his supporters didn't trust them to be MAGA enough and that's why they lost. What manner of a man is this Trump? grin

On a second look, I'm getting more confident about a Blake Masters victory in Arizona, I even think he has a better shot than Laxalt in Nevada because of the unknown factor i.e the number of mail votes still left in Clark county (Don't know why they are hiding that detail, looks fishy). All of the votes left to be counted in Arizona on the other hand are election day mail drop offs which has broken 60-40 for Masters so far, he might just pull it off. Nevada needs to be more transparent with their elections, Laxalt looks good for the win but with them refusing to say how many mail votes are left in heavily democratic Clark county, who is to say that we won't suddenly see a magical additional 100k+ votes emerge from there after waiting for all republican leaning districts to turn in their returns? It won't be the first time it has happened, I saw this in Broward county, Florida in 2018, almost same playbook. I hope it's not the case here though. Transparency breeds confidence in election processes, I wonder why you will be hiding information if you're not doing anything fishy.
Is there no law there saying no count till after elections? If there is I wonder how you expect them to tell you how many unless don't count doesn't mean don't count.

Wait till they finish instead of conspiraciating.

Republicans will line behind Trump after he bullies a few of them. I have always followed this thread and we have been hearing from Republicans about how the party will dump Trump if he loses the last presidential election. A particular poster here was very vocal about how he would be dumped.

Well Trump is now obviously a big problem to the majority non-extreme GOP. He is now stuck like a leach on the party. Due to Trump's love for the spotlight and his big ego, I would be shocked if he doesn't announce his intention to run.
Used by date has passed. Gop will throw him out.

But what are the odds that Republicans will pick DeSantis if Trump announces his run for president on Monday?
This election shows that kraken is only bought by magas and they are a dying species. Dump can't win primaries with "they stole the election".

They all have one thing in common. Who can guess:

President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated eight Nigerian Americans on their victory in the United States midterm elections.

In Georgia State, Segun Adeyina (D-House District 110), Gabe Okoye(D-House District 102), Solomon Adesanya (D-House District 43), Tish Naghise (D-House District 68), and Phil Olaleye (D-House District 59) won their legislative seats as State Representatives in their Districts.

Similarly, Carol Kazeem (D) won the Pennsylvania State Representative in District 159 while Esther Agbaje (D-F-L) was re-elected as Minnesota State Representative in District 59B.

Dr Adeoye Owolewa (D) was also re-elected to the U.S. House of Representatives (Shadow Representative) in Washington D.C.

Buhari, who prayed for their successful tenure in office, thanked them for their invaluable support and partnerships, over the years, with groups affiliated with the ideals and objectives of Nigerians in Diaspora associations in the United States.

The president also restated his unflinching support for every Nigerian excelling at home and abroad.

According to him, compatriots who succeed in good causes are assets to the nation and the continent, noting that their contributions will always be remembered and celebrated.
Basically, if you are Nigerian in America, choose the successful party.

It's too early but in my opinion Desantis running in 2024 will not be a threat to the Democratic coalition. Desantis doesn't have the appeal or likability Trump has to garner a cult following of supporters.
The hype ends in Florida. He doesn't even have a sweet lying tongue Trump has.
Don't be too hasty. He will beat Biden.

Someone asked what Desantis has that dump doesn't have and got waffle. The proper response would have been 'credibility'. At least the perception of it.

The good thing is that Democrats are winning young voters and young voters have prevented a Red wave.

Gen Z has to become a reliable voting bloc for Democrats currently given the American demographics the upcoming generation will be more Democratic in nature if Republicans don't appeal to young people.

I must agree with budaatum he always said that Trump helped the Democrats become more politically aware and vote.

Ever since then the Democrats no longer give into political apathy and take anything for granted.
