    So you are pro-abortion? You voted for Crist, and Val Demmings in Florida this week? If you are who we assume you are as self-described Florida resident who recently was a German resident?

    I don't assume anything. I just take people at the word. If you voted for DeSantis, and Rubio as a Florida resident, you voted for abortion to be essentially murder, and a crime.

    So correct me on what I am wrong about given what you have already told us about yourself. This isn't me assuming that you have bing watched every season of Lost of anything. It's a pretty safe assumption based on what you have already told us.

    Actually there was no Republican running. It was against a Green Party candidate

    How accurate are these betting markets?

    And don't they want you to bet on the opposite of what actually happens?

    So i guess with these odds they would want you to bet Republican thinking the Dems would actually win?

    They are not accurate. They had trump at 20% after he had lost.

    I think Roe vs. Wade balanced the rights well and should not have been overturned. I am not a US citizen and don't have a vote.

    I think the betting market shift on the NBA draft with Banchero is a good example of what to look for when some experts are seeing some uncertainty, and hedge their bets because of the initial wagers. So there was more money to be made by pouncing on the Banchero wild card.

    I think even if there was a 50/50 chance for Democrats to take back the House, you'd see Vegas having a "Banchero Type" of shift right now.

    Look at the stability of the blue line here.

    Doesn't bode well for what Vegas thinks about a Dem House.

    I would vote for the Saint in a heartbeat. But that's really too easy of a case. If DEM actually pushes for a candidate like Walker, I simply would be anti-DEM.

    If Trump was the DEM candidate going against Cruz, I would vote for Cruz.

    I would never vote for a candidate as sh*tty as Walker…doubt he would have ever gotten this far if he was running as a Democrat to begin with

    he fits right in as a republican…it doesn’t matter how sh*tty u are if you’re running as a republican because they have fake morals and values and stand for nothing

    If NY did not come into play, the Dems could have both chambers. How crazy is that?

    I have been thinking about that and with talk of her retirement I have to wonder did she promise them anything, especially with AOC going radio silent for a while now.

    Uh Mullets are actually a thing now as well as the black mullet The Shag.

    Things I never thought could happen.

    wasserman says there’s still a path for democrats to hold the house. It’s a super long shot but until we see trends in the California districts it can’t be ruled out

    Yes one is more likely to overlook failings in a candidate that you ideologically agree with but there should be limits. Democrats did get rid of James Trafficant and Rod Blagojevich. Except in these days Rod Blagojevich is now a Trumper.

    The other problem with this view is how can you actually trust someone who is such a hypocrite and with poor character? For example while yes Trump delivered on tax cuts and conservative judges he did little else for a lot of Conservative interests. On criminal justice reform he went against Conservative interests. For the protectionist he essentially renewed NAFTA but made it even more friendly to Mexican business. And of course Mexico never paid a cent for the wall. Whether because of incompetance corruption or a mixture of both he did about the bare minimum a Republican President with a Republican majority in the Congress could be expected to do.

    And of course if Kari Lake wins corruption and incompetence will have nothing to do with that.

    This is a guy to keep an eye on along Larry Hogan.

    If Democrats overreach or get the wrong candidate, they could step i and get some moderate democrats and take back the suburbs.

    I really don't see Desantis as a huge threat, all the stuff he did in FLA to own the libs will not play nationally and once Trump clowns him for 2 years he is going to be diminished with Republicans as well.

    And basically I don't see him as great campaigner he is pretty boring on the stump and does not look that comfortable.

    Maybe it's the double suits.:eek:

    A moderate northeastern GOP governor doesn't have a chance in the primary. The problem is that the primary system rewards crazy.

    That should terrify you, it just means a lot of Republicans voted for Democrats.

    I think we have reached the tipping point with Republicans, I think a sane candidate could have a way because of to many crazies are on the ballot.

    I am starting to think the majority of Republicans are tired of crazy and tired of losing and definitely tired of trump, going to be interesting to see what happens in the next 2 years.
