Trump's going after DeSantis 

[Himu]

GOP may have a hard time winning going forward with Gen Z in play for the time being.

Seems we may have a new powerful voting bloc


Also what's wrong with millennials? Why don't we vote?

DO IT YOU FUCK ASS

Our generation owns very little plus there aren't many millenial candidates to represent us because we don't vote.

[Himu]

Gen z owns even less and has even less representation and they're asserting their power.

I disagree with the politics of most of Gen Z but I really respect their generations mindset. Gen Z understands that power is taken, not given. Millennials really are babies.

This is also frightening because they're so damn leftist.

Seeing a lot of analysis in this thread that ignores that all the Republican defeats were not Trump's fault at all. Also all this talk about DeSantis never mentions that Donald J. Trump endorsed DeSantis in 2018, therefore all credit for everything he does should always go to Donald Trump. It's crazy how not only is the media so corrupt that they won't give Trump the credit he deserves but DeSantis himself won't acknowledge who he owes all his success to. All of this shows that everyone is still afraid of Trump because of how popular he is among the American people, possibly the most popular President of all time lots of people are saying, so they're trying to poison the well in hopes it will scare off Trump from being elected to an unprecedented third term.

PD, Benji what lesson do you feel the Michigan Republican Party will take from last night? What agenda do you think the Democratic Party will enact now that they have a trifecta? How do Michigander Democrats differ from NY Democrats?

Asking for my future home state.

Things I can think of are infastructure, fixing up those horrible MI roads, environmentalism. Do you think Whitmer will lean towards culture wars as other Guvs have?

My turn NYC purple plan is succeeding

Check out my old stomping grounds. My old neighborhood of Flatbush? Has a touch of red. Where I used to work in Bay Ridge? Red. Some of Sunset Park? A splash of red. Look at the southern Brooklyn tip. The red is expanding to the west. That's way more than 2020. These are all working class places. Asians and Latinos in western BK are flipping. Check out Queens and the Rockaways. Yerrrrr!

Check the Williamsburg red. It's the Orthodox Jews. Man, I could look at this map all night.

Cuomo won by over 20 points. Hochul won by only 5. If trends continue NY might be in play. I could see some parts of lower Manhattan becoming red as Republicans cut ties with Trump. Neighborhoods like Chinatown and Little Italy might have inroads. Maybe LES. Maybe. Let's see what Hochul does in her term.

I got all most of what I wanted.

Democrats in Albany began the year hopeful that they could draw new lines that would protect their incumbents and cost Republicans as many as four seats in the state to offset Republican gains elsewhere.

But New York’s highest court, in response to a Republican lawsuit, threw out the maps as an unconstitutional gerrymander and put more competitive alternatives in their place. In a handful of other states, courts ruled that Republicans had gerrymandered maps but did not enforce those rulings, but in New York, the judges insisted the lines be redrawn this year

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/09/nyregion/new-york-republicans-house.html

Hilarious. So thanks to the non-corrupted court of NY, Democrats were not allowed to get away with gerrymandering, while the Republican-stacked courts elsewhere did not enforce their rulings, allowing the Republicans to get away with it.

[Occam]

So if the Republicans take the House, it will in part have been made possible by gerrymandering (which of course is an incorrect premise, as we have learned here).

Boebert is a bully, a liar, low class, idiotic poopface.

I'm hoping the mail-in voters skew blue, and we can leave her embarrassing ass in the dirt.

I also can't believe that MTG's been reelected. I hope businesses pull out of Georgia, like MTG's dad should have.

Former Representative Peter King, a Republican from Long Island who has long supported Mr. Trump, said, “I strongly believe he should no longer be the face of the Republican Party,” adding that the party “can’t become a personality cult.”

LOL. What year is this?

[Cauliflower Of Love]

Everything republicans yelled about turned out to be bullshit. The trans shit, the CRT nonsense, even inflation...none of it mattered more than abortion in many parts of the country. There should be a message here that while dems have some party problems, voters are tired or indifferent to the nonstop cultural warfare of the right wing. Republicans need to get rid of the Trump acolytes. The way Q shit has become mainstream in republican circles has to trouble them. I'm not referring to the grand election conspiracy, but instead the fantasy novel-esque obsession over "demonic forces." Having republicans call abortion demonic is probably not a good idea fellas. Every single pro-choice measure passed last night, including in MONTANA and Kentucky. Time to take the L on this.

It's early but I think republicans get bombed in 2024. MI is gone, based on last night's results (including mail voting being secured for future elections). PA is gone for the same reason. Barring economic collapse, I guess. Wisconsin is clearly winnable based on Evers getting re-elected. Florida is irrelevant. Biden won without it. Obama won it twice but would have still won even if he had lost the state to McCain or Romney.

I think Biden also deserves credit for finally stepping back and allowing the obvious Ws to pile up.

Biden thinks the Dems not getting shellacked means voters approve of his tenure and agenda rather than rejecting the banana stand Trump backed GOP candidates. 2024 could still be ours for the taking. Dems might have learned the wrong lesson. Democratic Party might be among the dumbest people in this country.

[Occam]

By the way, now that the Republican Party has turned into the party of Dear Leader, why wouldn't they fall for Dear Leader 2 right after Trump?
It's not like those tools who go to Trump rallies now will wake up one morning, suddenly develop the ability of independent thought and see the the error of their ways. They'll need someone else to fill the hole in their tiny little hearts and brains.

Both parties look for a potential leader and front runner. See Dems after during Bush years until they found a spark in some guy that spoke at the DNC in 04 from Illinois and during Reagan. Look at how Dems are positioning Kamala. They want her to lead. Same thing, different parties.

[Occam]

The cult of personality surrounding Trump is pretty unprecedented in America.

[Himu]

The cult of personality surrounding Trump is pretty unprecedented in America.

Yes, it is. That's not the same as with DeSantis. Although there's legitimate concern people could turn it into Cult of Personality, I think in this case we just want viable leadership, which is just regular American politics (see: FDR, Lincoln, Kennedy, Einsenhower, Reagan, Obama). A party turning to leadership is normal and there's nothing to suggest what we have for DeSantis is cult like.

I’ll believe they’re trying to move past trump if this narrative lasts more than a single news cycle.  Look at all the other times the outrage only lasted a day.  The brainlets who read that junk and watch Fox News only remember what they were told to believe that day.

[Phoenix Dark]

We could get our answer soon. If Trump announces his campaign before the Georgia run offs, doesn't help Walker, becomes a distraction etc and fucks up a GA special election again...I think elected republicans will be done with him.

Elected Republicans are already turning their backs to him.

https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/11/hillary-clinton-2016-donald-trump-214428

This from Politico in 2016 shows precisely why the Democratic Party shouldn't be supported.  DNC pumps money into bad candidates and wants Republicans to run them but is when it backfires. The Democratic Party loves playing with fire and because every single race they meddled with ended up going their way this midterm they'll keep doing it despite it backfiring when they picked Trump.  Then they'll mplain "why aren't Republicans running moderate candidates" when the DNC pumped money into extreme candidates. But because it's the DNC the lesson won't be learned. Truly despicable oligarchs.

You can bet your ass that if it comes to a Trump vs DeSantis primary Dems will pump money into Donald's warchest while calling him a fascist Nazi.

Conclusion: DNC is the enemy of the people.
