    So you’re saying that Lindsey Graham is wrong that Herschel Walker is going to bring in a lot of black people into the Republican party

    Leave it to the Guardian to provide some actual perspective on why Fetterman won comfortably. Its all anecdotal but it explains why Fetterman was basically getting Obama 2012 numbers in rural Pennsylvania.

    He's acting like Walker is the first and only black Republican ever lol...

    But the GOP are the main ones that stop black people from being republicans. Their rhetoric on issues that affect black communities are always very suspicious and sometimes downright insulting.

    It seems he forgot about his own junior Senator from South Carolina.

    If this does come down to the GA runoff, it will be fascinating because in order to win, I would assume Walker going to get asked to disavow Trump as Trump will lean HARD on Walker to double down on his support of MAGA.

    I’m here all day for the front row seat watching Trump and the GOP destroy each other.

    Hopefully though this race ends up not mattering if Nevada goes well with the next few batches of votes.

    Wow. The concentration of Karens at the 3 minute mark. It’s like the Gathering of Juggalos but for Karens. The Conclave of Karens

    Republicans have a shockingly flippant attitude toward the whole "let's nominate a bunch of people who literally do not believe in democracy" problem.

    Do you think your lives are going to be improved by the end of free and fair elections or peaceful transfers of power in this country?

    Further, that strategy just completely fell on its face electorally.

    So, maybe pay a bit closer attention and don't stroll so carelessly into "**** around and find out territory" when it comes to the foundation of our civilization.

    Too soon, there are still over 500k votes out there, more than half were dropped off on Election Day, unless he knows something that we don’t.

    This is Lindsey Graham’s MO. He gets all worked up and makes big emotional shows. Im pretty sure he doesn’t believe what he says.

    he’s the absolute best in the business and has never gotten a “I’ve seen enough” wrong.

    there is a science to election projections. Republicans constantly deny this for some reason, but analysts continue to be right

    From what I saw last night there are about 200k votes outstanding. Kelly has about a 113k lead. It’s possible that Masters can win but it will take more than 56% to break for Masters to do so. The outstanding vote also appears to be from Maricopa which favors Democrats.

    Won't it be more like 80%? Of the 200,000, he'd need about 157,000 to overcome a 113,000 vote lead. Or, am i missing something?

    The math isn't that complicated. Its probably basic algebra and statistics. Stuff you learn in High School.

    There are probably some rural drops that will help Masters pad his total. But either way, the math is still too difficult for him. Bigger question is whether Lake holds on. She was running behind Trump's vote share on all the mail drops yesterday. So Maricopa will ultimately decide that election but Kelly is pretty safe at this point.

    also very insulting that they think some low IQ buffoon who has multiple kids with multiple women and took care of none of them, has multiple personalities, a history of violence, and who is obviously being used as a prop as he tap dances and shucks and jives for whoever is giving him orders would be the inspiration for many young black people to want to be Republican

    I see what you mean. Adding the remaining votes to Kelly would require 157K votes for masters to overcome.

    The info I was referencing also appears wrong as I just saw CNN saying there is 500K outstanding vote. The oustanding vote though does appear from Democratic leaning areas.

    It would be nice to take the power away from Manchin.
