Politics Thread

The Democrats have spent over $30 million propping up MAGA candidates in the Primaries thinking they would be easy marks in the General Elections.
The MSM gave Trump billions in free media propping him up in the Primaries in 2016 thinking he’d be an easy mark.
Whoops!!!
They are too stupid to learn

“ In the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election, the national media and the Hillary Clinton campaign devised a plan to elevate Donald Trump and so-called “lunacy” over a field of up-and-coming Republican politicians. According to New York Times journalist Amy Chozick, who was embedded with Hillary Clinton’s campaign from inception to death, campaign manager Robby Mook called a meeting with an agenda of specifically asking “How do we maximize Donald Trump?” Chozick also noted how Mook “salivated when a debate came on, and Trump would start to speak. ‘Shhhhh,’ Robby said, practically pressing his nose up to the TV. ‘I’ve gahtz to get me some Trump.’”

We all know how that worked out. Yet fast-forward to the 2022 midterm elections — and Democrats are using the same strategy in several key races across the country that will tilt the balance of power. One such race in Arizona has captivated Democrats and the media, where Republican candidate Kari Lake benefited from Democratic efforts to boost the “crazy” candidate. Once again it looks like the Dems are going to come to regret it.”

With the result:

“ Once again Democrats created a verifiable rock star of the right in Kari Lake — and once again they will only have themselves to blame when she wins. It’s worth remembering this the next time Joe Biden orders his acolytes to pressure-wash the homeless people out of one of our city’s stations so he can intone that “democracy itself” is at stake. If that’s the case, bucko, then why did you guys spend so much putting all of these “election-deniers,” the “extreme MAGA element of the Republican Party,” on the ballot?”

Lol this didn’t age well.

So hopefully now people have realized that trump is an idiot, people hate him and he did more harm than good for the republicans this cycle. Republicans should have wiped the floor with these midterms but it looks like the senate will probably be 51-49 dems or 50-50 and republicans take the house but not at the majority that was expected.

In the end this is great for the country as desantis or someone else in the Republican Party that is sane will get the nomination in 24 and the polarization of this country can subside at least by a little bit. Further away from trump, the better this country will be.

Many feel the same about you.

I’ve said many times I hope Trump doesn’t run again. Welcome to the DeSantis train. Remind me again of your thoughts on his COVID policies.

It’s not great for the country as we still have a President who doesn’t know where he is and he may
have free reign if the R’s don’t gain the House.

You upset, bro? “Many”—-I.e. you, lou and the thumb up your ass brigade that is consistently wrong on just about everything?

I’m not on the “desantis train” I’m on the not trump or Biden train.

It is great for the country dumbass because now it’s completely apparent that trump isn’t electable and people hate him and his cronies more than the progressive left. Now, Republicans can take their party back, and the polarization that exists in this country can start to subside while there is fantastic gridlock for at least two years.

Turns out McConnell was absolutely correct and trump once again proves to be a complete idiot.

Not mad at all bro.

Get you head out of your ass about Trump. He’s not on the ballot.

Dumbass

Thanks for the record inflation, high energy costs and all the other BS.

I haven’t been wrong about anything including the SC. I made no predictions about the election.

Derper (thanks for exposing yourself as a Krugman fanboy, haha).

Edit: Hey genius. In your world Trump lost tonight in an election in which he wasn’t even running. That’s how warped your thinking is.

Also, interesting that you capitalized Biden but not Trump. You’re cellophane.

What mind numbing rambling from you. Do you really have that much trouble connecting the dots? To not think trump was on the ballot tonight is being literally clueless about politics. However, coming from you that’s no surprise.

It’s a shame that someone who believes he knows something about how this country and politics works, knows so very little. Tonight is an indictment on trump and his cronies, while also being a huge win for desantis and normal non election denier politicians . If you can’t see that I feel sorry for your low iq.

Oh, you were so close to a coherent thought. Trump wasn’t on my ballot but apparently he was somewhere on yours.

He lives rent free in your head.

Meanwhile, the rest of us living in today world are happy the House looks like it can curb the nonsense of the current admin.

Serious question. Who is the current President and what party has had total control of gov’t the past two years?

You insolent little person. It was only about Trump to you and other mentally unbalanced people.

You got one thing right. It was a huge win for DeSantis. You know the guy I’ve been hoping wins the R nomination in ‘24.

I’m glad the republicans probably got the house. As I posted days ago, I am excited for gridlock. I’m sorry you can’t connect the dots regarding that what happened is in an indictment on trump. Of course I’m sure during his big stupid announcement, he will blame McConnell and McCarthy.

Maybe think really hard how this result was an indictment on trump and his buddies , and it will come to you one day.

Rich calling me mentally unbalanced when it’s you who believes in Election Day conspiracy theories.

Ted Budd and JD Vance (btw, congrats to California on their first Republican Senator since the 1980s) were a couple beneficiaries of Trump's endorsements, but it doesn't appear that anyone else has benefited beyond that. Walker and the Arizona cabal could still pull ahead, and Laxalt was slightly ahead as of this morning.

Also getting a feeling that Bobbie will be giddy as hell if Lauren Boebert ends up losing her congressional seat.

But overall, we're just getting a red puddle and not this red tsunami that the Right was promising would happen.
