hjs157Nov-8-2022 Election Results
For those who are disappointed we didn't win the series with a walk-off grand slam, may I suggest that if the tables were turned the Dems/media would be calling the election results a
mandate.

False, and without evidence. Fraud happens, of course, and always has; at the same predictably insignificant 0.00025% rate or whatever.
This thinking is one of the reasons many R candidates are going back to day jobs rather than DC.
Glad this thread now has the Lincoln project perspective represented

Seems single women are pretty much leftist in today's society.
It is about feeling personally secure, financially and physically, and is nothing new. Rush Limbaugh had a term for it in the 1996 Bill Clinton reelection; the Arousal Gap.
Polls found that women felt Bill Clinton as President would take better care of them than their own husbands!
Leftist propaganda has convinced many Americans that RvW means nasty old men want to control women. Women will feel unsafe voting R when they believe that. Consider how the younger generation focuses on the patriarchy, rape culture, etc.
Today, single women feel a lot more vulnerable than married women who have a husband to help provide security.
This time around it was the Fear Gap. Single women fear mean old white men trying to control their bodies more than they fear the economy or open borders.

First, let me point out that the GOP will most likely take the House. No matter how any of you guys look at it, it's a win. That means the commie maggots can no longer ram shit down our throat like they did the last 2 years. Think about it. It's a fucking WIN.
Second, the Senate control is far from over. Three are still in play. Laxalt is leading in NV. They are still counting in AZ, despite asshole McConnell not pitching a dime in there to help Masters. And GA is heading for a runoff, despite what this jerk wrote (that Walker lost). And, he claimed that "numerous others" that Trump endorsed lost, without naming even one. Whatever. Wait and see. It's a guarantee that if the GOP wins the Senate, these assholes will come back and say, "Man, Trump did it again". Fuck them.
This seems to be the current situation from where I'm sitting. Buddy of mine acts like it's all over, and Trump is the problem, abortion blah blah blah. What a bunch of nonsense. This is how I know he still watches Fox news. They are liars. Tar and feather for them too.
And all this in spite of what I believe to be more massive fraud, of course going 1 direction as usual.

Good analysis. I think some of our individual candidates were a poor fit to try and cut into that fear gap. Also, no reason our messaging has to always be aimed at the base. Some places it will not matter, but Democrats did spend hundreds of millions on abortion ads and our side pretty much ignored the issue. I too thought that Democrat mishandling of the economy would be obvious to voters, but that is apparently not the case. Having a progressive media really hurts Republicans at the polls...it's like a third party working for the opposition.

chellim1Kari Lake Discusses Current Arizona Vote Counting With Tucker Carlson
Harmeet Dhillon and Kari Lake join Tucker Carlson to discuss the voting process in Maricopa County, Arizona, and the current state of the election counting. {Direct Rumble Link}
Arizona is one of the growing number of states that shifted the entire election process to focus on ballot collection as a model to replace voting. Ms. Lake discusses what she would do as governor to reform the Arizona voting process.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

This other conservative treehouse link covers the strategy of states like Michigan and PA that
ballots are more important than
votes, and yes, there is a difference. A vote is a sure component of the tally in an election and a ballot is the piece of paper that is not final until a human or machine deals with it.
quote:
A vote cannot be cast by a person who is no longer alive, or no longer lives in the area. However, a ballot can be sent, completed and returned regardless of the status of the initially attributed and/or registered individual.
While ballots and votes originate in two totally different processes, the end result of both “ballots” and “votes,” weighing on the presented election outcome, is identical.
While initially the ballot form of election control was tested in Deep Blue states, through the process of mail-in returns under the guise and justification of “expanding democracy,” a useful tool for those who are vested in the distinction, I think we are now starting to see what happens on a national level when the process is expanded.
The controversial 2020 election showed the result of making ‘ballots’ the strategy for electoral success. Under the justification of COVID-19 mitigation, mail-in ballots took center stage. Ballot harvesting by Democrat operations was one term for the outcome.
Democrat party officials and political activist groups knew how to exploit the opportunities within the new system of ballot distribution and collection, and when you combine that with a massive legal pressure campaign to accept any and all forms of ballots, well, you can see how they are dependent.
Now that ballot collection has been shown to be a much more effective way to maintain political power, Democrats in a general sense are less focused on winning votes and more focused on gathering ballots.
When ‘ballot organization’ becomes more important than ‘vote winning,’ you modify your electoral campaign approaches accordingly. It might sound simplistic, but inside the distinct difference between ballots and votes you will find why refusing debates is a successful strategy.
Essentially, the mail-in/absentee/drop off paper ballot is the big problem for honest elections.

KevboTo those blaming this on Roe/Dobbs, explain to me Georgia, New Hampshire and Ohio
In all of those races the republican governors won, and won huge, and the senatorial candidates greatly underperformed compared to their gubernatorial counterparts
In Ohio and New Hampshire it was by more than 10 points. In Georgia it was more than 5 points
Abortion is now a states rights issue. So your assertion is the governors were elected in a landslide because abortion didn’t matter for them? But mattered for the national candidates where abortion will no longer be decided?
Really? Does that make sense to you?
Sununu got almost 58% of the vote in New Hampshire. Bolduc got 44%.
Kemp got 55% of the vote. Walker 49%
DeWine won by damn near 20 points in Ohio. Vance only won by 7
There is a common denominator here. It ain’t abortion. The democrats certainly had a winning strategy, but it wasn’t the abortion issue

Yes, exactly...
Also, here in MO, Trudy Busch ran almost entirely on abortion and she got trounced by Eric Schmitt.
BUT there is ONE federal aspect to this with regard to elections: Lindsey Graham should STFU about it.
For 50 years, I've been saying the Supreme Court should not have taken this issue away from the States. Now that they have returned it to the States, people like Lindsey Graham should stop trying to federalize it again.

Both political parties are calcifying. If you are eligible to draw Social Security, then you shouldn’t be in active political office. <snip>
I think that's a little too early, but your point is taken, there are some ossified examples there well past there sell-by date, Nancy for instance, Mitch, not so bad but not so good either.
I'm good with a cognition exam though, if you are dead you shouldn't hold office even in Pennsylvania.

I think many, if not most, women who are passionate about the Dobbs decision probably don't realize or understand that the issue is no longer one that can be controlled by a federal entity (and Congress is Fed). They still believe that Congress could pass a law reinstating the (false) abortion right they'd had for the past 50 years. And they are irrational enough that it is unlikely that instruction of the true facts would take hold. They know what they believe and that's it.

KevboSo your contention is they’re so stupid they voted for a republican governor but then others or abstained down ballot? Doesn’t it seem more likely that the idiot emotional women voting solely on abortion would just vote straight democrat? But that’s not what happened.
