Dear Baby Boomers,
Meet your new overlords

Kenneth Mejia’s campaign manager @theglowingstars has a message:

Trump will go scorched earth and bury any and all challengers. He will be the nominee if he's alive and not in prison. Even in prison he has a shot.

---

He will get torched if he wins the R primary!

We've seen this story and nothing has changed. Ask movielover who he'll vote for - it's Trump now more than ever. Movielover is where the GOP is right now. Election denialism, deep in conspiracy theories and skeptical of the "establishment" but somehow not of Trump.

Look at Fox News coverage, they just really don't understand what's really going on in this country because they still think Trump is some sort of sage.

The dems will clean Trump and the GOP's clock again in 2024 unless the GOP is able to make real progress in their fascist agenda to take over elections. The upcoming SCOTUS decision in Moore v Harper ("independent state legislature") may have a huge impact on that. It's the GOP's only hope because their message doesn't resonate with enough people.

I have to say that between this Fox News clip and the one before this, the bewilderment and the unwillingness to believe the Republican message could be turning people off was delicious. Go ahead, keep telling yourself that woman are crazy and young people are brainwashed. I'm sure that will turn the tide for the GOP.

Trump must be pissed that lots of the candidates he endorsed flopped, but DeSantis won easily.

Because Trump has zero loyalty to the GOP (beyond what it can do for him), maybe he will try and sink DeSantis now.

---

tRump believes in the J. Edgar Hoover school of blackmail….but now that most Republicans want to saddle another horse, some may be willing to secretly "drop a dime" on tRump to get rid of him.

Unit2 - why don't election machines malfunction in Contra Costa, or San Jose, or Montana?

Why do they just - coincidentally - malfunction in Maricopa County, THE conservative leaning county needed to win a key swing state? And why did machines malfunction in Lee Zeldin's stronghold in New York? See a pattern?

Apparently, being from New Jersey was worse than suffering a stroke when it comes to PA.

Fetterman overwhelmingly wins the under age 45 vote.

I doubt it was the NJ aspect.
I think it's
1. He Muslim.
2. He's Trump-backed.

But that's just my impulse and not data
driven.

Likely a voting vs ballot harvesting issue.

A recent poll found President Trump was the most popular politician in America.

The same random recent poll found Trump was also the most unpopular politician in America. There's not much middle ground with Trump.

Thankfully I will only have to live with the idiocy of people like this guy for a couple of decades before I'm pushing up daisies. Too bad I may not be around to see the pendulum swing the other way when their stupid ideas fail.

---

I don't know anything about Kenneth Mejia, but at some point us boomers need to step aside and let the younger generations take over. Some will prove to be mistakes but some will likely have some good ideas. Certainly us old fogies haven't been spectacularly good and we're all getting older and older.

So in 2020 it was just coincidental - yet mathematically impossible - that the election computers went down in all swing states ... not Montana, not New York, not Wyoming.

Better yet, they all went down at night. Not one at 2 PM, one at 4 PM, 2 at 6 PM... no, computers all went down, in swing states, with the POTUS ahead by huge margins... and then numbers magically changed.

BTW, when have computers ever gone down before?

---

Bless your heart if you believe Trump when he tells you reality is mathematically impossible.

How many Trump steaks have you
purchased?

This election is over but for some counting and Georgia's run-off.

The underlying fundamentals were so skewed toward Rs that I am suspicious there's something more fundamental at play rather than anti-trump, abortion, etc. It has to be something like Ds on the ground get out the vote game developed during the Covid shutdown were leveraged to great effect. It's the most logical explanation to me, but we will learn in time.

In the meantime, Ds get some time to rightly gloat and Rs still have a solid path to quietly capturing the House and Senate. TBD.

How, in your opinion, were "the underlying fundamentals... so skewed toward Rs"?

For me, the one thing that comes to mind is the way that the midterms have tended to go against the President that has just taken office two years prior, which, in this case, happens to be away from the Dems, toward the Republicans.

Biden massively underwater. 75-80% of people saying country is going in the wrong direction. Very high number of people saying inflation was their major issue. Historical trend of party in power losing seats. This will be 1st ever party in power with underwater president has over 195 seats.

If that's true that "75-80% of people saying country is going in the wrong direction", how, specifically, did they pin that on ol' Joe?

It's like inflation, how, specifically, is that Biden's fault? Sure, the Republicans tried to pin it on him, but I didn't sense that they had their own plan to counter it, did they? Do they?

Everybody hates inflation and it's an aspect of the economy that everybody sees, firsthand, all the time. But I feel like, in general, the economy's in decent shape.

Americans (and, heck, people everywhere) like to gripe and blame things on the politicians in office, but when push came to shove and people looked at alternatives, they were like, "Biden? He's doing okay."
