Just because she's an 8.9, doesn't mean she's politically an 8.9.  :thud:

One of my sons, age 52, periodically would call me to ask "Dad...are you STILL certain Trump will be reelected?"

I'd always tell him the same thing I've been telling everyone here.

"Don't worry!! (yada, yada, yada)

He called me yesterday to say, "I know you listen to TALK RADIO all the time...what stations do you listen to?"

Shapiro is a formidable politician for the Democrats. You will know who he is 4 years from now, I’ll bet. A negative?  He’s Jewish.

He's also 5'8" which for some reason is a liability in American politics.  I will say he's preferable to the rest of the bench.  If we do not hear much about a democrat, that is usually a good sign.

Agreed. And he's a lot smarter and well-spoken than Biden or Harris.

I think we will end up with 53 senators. 
PA supposedly has exhausted the Philadelphia ballots, with some laggards in Cambria.  McCormick seems to have enough of a cushion going into a recount. 
Sam Brown is probably going to lose in Nevada because mail ballots if received by Friday will be included. 
The margin has tightened considerably in Arizona, but this trend would have to continue apace over the remaining 30%.  The state swung right, so it is conceivable.

Republicans lead in 223 House seats.

Reminder that there was NOT a peaceful transfer of power in 2016 and that Joe Biden was key to keeping it from being a peaceful transfer of power. This piece from four years ago helps explain.
Quote
Obama, Biden Oval Office Meeting On January 5 Was Key To Entire Anti-Trump Operation
By: Mollie Hemingway
May 08, 2020
The Federalist

Information released in the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss the case it brought against Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn confirms the significance of a January 5, 2017, meeting at the Obama White House. It was at this meeting that Obama gave guidance to key officials who would be tasked with protecting his administration’s utilization of secretly funded Clinton campaign research, which alleged Trump was involved in a treasonous plot to collude with Russia, from being discovered or stopped by the incoming administration.

“President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia,” National Security Advisor Susan Rice wrote in an unusual email to herself about the meeting that was also attended by Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, FBI Director James Comey, and Vice President Joe Biden.

A clearer picture is emerging of the drastic steps that were taken to accomplish Obama’s goal in the following weeks and months. Shortly thereafter, high-level operatives began intensely leaking selective information supporting a supposed Russia-Trump conspiracy theory, the incoming National Security Advisor was ambushed, and the incoming Attorney General was forced to recuse himself from oversight of investigations of President Trump. At each major point in the operation, explosive media leaks were a key strategy in the operation to take down Trump. ...

 Failed veep candidate Tim Walz couldn’t even beat Trump in his home county in telling final blow
By Olivia Land   
Published Nov. 7, 2024, 10:11 a.m. ET

No hometown glory here.

Democratic vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz didn’t just lose the overall election to Donald Trump — he even lost his home county to him, too.

President-elect Trump’s overwhelmingly win saw him net 49.6% of the vote in Minnesota’s Blue Earth County, where Walz’s family lived for 20 years before he was elected governor.

I think he he should move back to NE-2 territory. He could Pick up a coacking or shooting instructors gig near Omaha.

Or follow Kamilla the career killa to CA.  I wouldn't think he was crazy to go to LA... via Omaha

I could not bear to listen to another speech from Harris, so I passed on her concession speech.  However, I heard a clip of it on Fox News and she said, 'I know it feels like we are entering a dark time'.

That's the same thing Chuck Schumer said at Trump's ²017 inauguration.  Trump graciously allowed Schumer to speak during his moment of victory, and those are the words that came from his mouth.

I've never even heard of him so I wouldn't worry. Michelle's is another story, I really thought she might step up.

He can't! Too much baggage.

She now needs to prove her bona fides in some capacity with the new Trump administration. She can’t just be a guest pundit on TeeVee. But, I agree - I like her.

What a bleep sack of garbage. The left has a major likability problem IMO. I just don't like a lot of these people and find them to be, as people, scumbags.

Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer just deactivated his 𝕏 account as reports arise that they are trying to pull off another fraud against Kari Lake.

Count the votes and give us the results. It doesn't take two days to verify signatures.

The trends suggest Lake will win, and it feels to me like they're giving themselves enough time to steal the election from her.

I'm 100% sure this is true! Same thing in Nevada.
