Will they finally drop this baseless strategy? The amount of people willing to go along with all this election denial BS shrinks by the day.
For the tone I think your being facetious but to respond seriously. Technically for the House winner does take all but that doesn’t mean they can govern. McCarthy is very likely going to suffer the same fate as John Boehnor and Paul Ryan.
You think the analogy is the same, but it really isn’t. The way sports work and the way politics work are different
Politic is a funny thing. With power, comes some accountability. A super slim majority with some crazies is going to wreak havoc, be very entertaining, and attract media attention in a not-so-good way. Once it's all and done, heading into 2024, they might wish they didn't win the House. Dems certainly want to retain power (still possible) but losing in this way isn't so bad. Excuse card available.
saw that if Masto and Warnock win, it would be the 1st time in American history that every incumbent Senator won re-election and that going back to 1934, the sitting President's party has averaged 4 lost Senate seats in the midterms
Call it a win or call it a loss. I'm pretty pleased with how the election turned out aside from the Texas leadership keeping their seats - but that's probably too greedy of me anyway.
Personally as a Harris County resident I saw the silver lining with Harris County turning out in the favor I preferred. Small victories I suppose.
People keep trying to compare this to sports, but keep doing this inaccurately. If you are going to compare it to a sport, compare it to the NHL. The Dems may lose the House, but they took it to Overtime. Therefore they still get a point in the standings. The GOP thought they were going to win the game in regulation and get all 3 points, not just the 2 they may end up with. Also it looks like the Dems may have outright won Game 2 (The Senate) with a Power Play goal in the last minute of the 3rd period.
Yet the GOP kept crowing about how they would have Senate control of at least 53-47 or 54-46. Keep on making excuses.
I guess you didn't watch any news, read any websites, listen to any GOP politicians prior to the mid-terms.
Umm, how was it a bad map? The GOP had opportunities for pickups in several purple states: AZ, GA, NV, NH. The NRSC and other core GOP groups were confident enough to shift spending money to try to get blue states in CO and WA. And they really only had to defend PA and WI on their own side - everything else was solid red.
