Republicans Likely to Take the House, Never Before Did So Little Feel So Good

Democrats Need a Miracle Now

Dem called/probable (213), incl. #AKAL, #CA09, #CA21, #CA47, #CA49, #CO08, #ME02, #OR06 GOP called/probable (220): incl. #AZ01, #AZ06, #CA03, #CA27, #CA41, #CA45, #CO03, #NY22, #OR05 Toss Ups (2): #CA13, #CA22

If it’s good enough for Wasserman, it’s good enough for me.

Importantly, that good enough to end Nancy Pelosi as House Speaker and kill any Democrat agenda for two full years.

However, Republicans have a lot of soul searching to do, starting with Trump.

The only red wave was in Florida.

Abandon Ship

Republicans desperately need to abandon Trump. His vindictive politics cost Republicans the Senate and nearly cost Republicans the House.

Biggest Loser of the Night Donald Trump, Biggest Winner Ron DeSantis

On election eve I commented Biggest Loser of the Night Donald Trump, Biggest Winner Ron DeSantis

Big Announcement

The Wall Street Journal reports Trump’s ‘Very Big Announcement’ Still on Track—For Now.

Mr. Trump on Wednesday was fundraising off what he has promised would be a “very big announcement,” hyping it as “perhaps … the most important speech given in the history of the United States of America.”

Listen to this clown [pick your own better word or phrase], regarding the “most important speech given in the history of the United States of America.”

The sad thing is he likely believes it. Anyone else who does is more than a bit deranged.

You have two choices for assigning blame within the Republican Party: 1) entrenched, elitist party leadership in the swamp that only backed RINOs and Neocons, or 2) genuine grassroots, Tea Party types who want smaller government and actual markets. I know which side I’m blaming.

It will be fun watching Ronny DeFascist flail while trying to fend off the rage of the soon to be indicted dotard and his mob of red hatted ignoramuses. The most likely case is they destroy each other and what remains of their cultish party for awhile. That will be a welcome development.
The RW Extremist agenda is same as it ever was, just more so than before. These fools are out of their minds. Instead of trying to solve problems or serve the citizens they are supposed to represent, their focus is:
Tax cuts and power consolidation for the wealthy
Screw the middle class and poor
Trash the environment, promote rapid climate change
Bigotry and discrimination for anyone not fitting into their hypocritical white christofascism authoritarianism worldview
Suppress votes, gerrymander, purge voter rolls, appoint extremist activist judges, and try to cheat and steal elections in every way possible to avoid their inevitable death spiral
Storm the capitol and try to stop democracy and kill politicians based on Big Lies by Republicans that they idiotically believed. Then call in threats regularly to honest election officials who are just trying to do their democratic duty.
Control education with phony and biased info for the little sheeple. Plus, ban books and words (so very antediluvian)
Own media stations to ensure propaganda and brainwashing for their avid cult through constant exaggeration and lies
Spread ridiculous conspiracy theories to keep the dopes preoccupied and their eyes off the ball
Scare voters with fear and hatred of THE OTHER
Coddle dictators in Russia, Hungary, Turkey, North Korea, etc and try to bring their anti-democracy to our shores
Corruption and grift to get government and his cult member marks’ funds flowing into their own pockets. Plus what the dumpster did with his hotels and foreign visitors who wanted to influence him by paying exhorbitant fees to stay there, forcing govt employees to stay there at high rates, and with his neverending fundraising scams which mostly end up in his own pocket.
Install loyalists at every level of government who will ignore the rule of law and take whatever they can
Steal away our hard earned rights and misuse the constitution to justify it
Appoint 18th century minded judges
and on and on.
Dems have been on to them all along. Some independents are catching up. MAGAs are a basket case (and dying off, as the young generation prepares to step up and start taking over in 2024).
The red puddle was not a surprise to those who were paying attention.

I am still waiting for …the Red Wave. Also, 2 seat majority can easily go way if members resign or die in office as happened during this current Congress. A two seat majority means nothing can get done which is fine because the Trump tax cuts are going partly away; the IRA funds are flowing and the others programs enacted last year and early this year will create a momentum of their own.

Why do you say that Trump’s speech is not “most important speech given in the history of the United States of America”? At a time that is critical for America to thrive, Trump could announce that he is running for President again, and, by doing so, lock in an even more progressive Democrat President and Congress for four more years, or longer. Republicans can win in 2024, but only if Trump vanishes, and if Republicans once again try to expand the party instead of shrinking it. Those who disagree should look at the big picture and big trends. When Trump came to power, Republicans had a sizeable majority in both houses of Congress, and for his entire time in power, the trend to a smaller party has remained intact. For Republicans to potentially lose another Senate seat, and barely make gains in the House has to be an embarrassment, given the state of the economy.

Note: It’s obviously hyperbole to claim it is the “most important”, but in these times, it still is important, and for him, particularly important. I have no doubt he will run, though, as it provides him a path to money, power, personal glory, and staying out of jail, all things that are very important to him.

Trump was a response to the establishment and globalism. And also to democratic candidates (Obama) running for office from the center and making a hard left after entering office. What, Congress doesn’t want to go along? We will do that be administrative order instead.
Trump got the major things rights – domestic issues first, secure the border, better trade deals, get North Korea, ISIS and other terror organizations in line, judges, technology transfer to our enemies (China), lower corporate tax rates to near the global average, massive deregulation, reduce sentence for drug offenses, empowering drug companies and others to respond to COVID in a really short time, . He missed on personal taxes. lockdowns and too much stimulus.
All that the republicans have to do is adopt the same policies, vow never to lockdown for virus without knowing the real death rate, and help parents remove the CRT from schools by electing the right school boards. That gets most parents, Hispanics and all rural areas on the train. Doesn’t really matter who leads the ticket so long as it is not Trump or anyone else over the aged of 65.

“… kill any Democrat agenda for two full years.”

They didn’t (and don’t) have any agenda for the next 2 years – other than to keep talking about “democracy in danger”, codifying Roe v Wade (they need just need 11 more Senators for that!), “protecting” SS and Medicare (even as they themselves keep gutting both of them) etc. etc.

That happens to have been anti-democratic. That Goldman Sachs should choose the nominees we get to vote for. In 2016, Goldman said JEB and Hillary were acceptable to them. No reason to hold primaries or a convention. Just vote for one of the Goldman choices.
In 2000, some business group chose Bush Jr. to run for president. He had name recognition, they said. He eventually became the nominee. I’m no fan of Bernie Sanders, but it goes to show that the system is effectively rigged. Trump just managed to be big enough to upset the establishments cushy apple cart. Imagine what they would have done to Ross Perot.

I don’t disagree with Mish on his assessment of Trump but there are other issues to tackle also. Election laws should certainly be considered. Many liberal publications are now headlining their success with mail in ballots, really? Is it success? I think not. The election process is tattered. I would like to see an analysis of the vote comparing the prior private polls with the strictness of state laws side by side. In Texas, with few exceptions, our election was in line with the prior polls. We still require a reason for a mail in ballot.
Then you have the entrenched federal leadership composed of ideologues and handmaids to their corporate donors. All of the octogenarians need to leave the capital.

Exit the octogenerarians, but keeping AOC is a-okay? What the recent outcome says about the electorate is probably more important than the election process.
As for Trump; he is a lightning rod, highly conductive and easy to ridicule. If only he stopped to think, talked less about himself, ceased the petty insults, promoted principles and real solutions… like De Santis.

I’d throw PA in with TX, then. Revamped election laws by republicans for republicans a few years ago works pretty well. I prefer mail-in (though I hand deliver it to the elections office). I can’t get a mail-in unless I’ve already been vetted, each has a unique bar code (so you can’t just go make copies), and when it’s received, and then tallied, the system sends you an email verification.
The fact that the republicans got slaughtered in PA under the system they created should say a lot.

great article explaining why ballots are move important than votes. Nothing personal, I call BS on your statement about mail ins. that is where the fraud is, and i am pretty sure you are smart enough to understand that, you either just dont believe it because you are a biased democrat or your honest guy that thinks Democrats play honest and fair.
The problem is the voting rolls need to be cleaned up and remove dead people, people that have moved and maybe voted twice(that might be not as true) and I honestly believe not voting, and being registered to vote, that vote gets harvested as well, by Democrats

Agree with what you say in general, but the election reform in PA done by the republicans did provide for election role cleanup – every 60 days.
(apologies for the large copy/paste)
Pennsylvania became a member of the Electronic Registration Information Center. ERIC, which was created by seven founding states and the Pew Charitable Trusts, is now independent and is funded and overseen by its 31 member states and the District of Columbia. Every 60 days, the commonwealth transmits voter registration and
Division of Motor Vehicles data — which includes driver’s license
numbers, Social Security numbers, and dates of birth — to ERIC using a
secure portal, said Ellen Lyon, a spokesperson for the Department of
State.

Then every May, ERIC sends the Department of State reports of
Pennsylvania voters who seem to have moved, because they filed a
change-of-address form with the U.S. Postal Service or because they have
popped up in another member state’s DMV records or voter roll.When counties receive these lists of voters, they begin a process to
remove the voter by sending a non-forwardable notice to the voter’s most
recent address. If the voter doesn’t respond to the notice within 30
days, another notice is sent. If that notice isn’t responded to, and the
voter doesn’t come to their polling place to vote in the next federal
election, the county removes the voter from the rolls, according to state statute.

the Department of State can use to verify that a voter is deceased are
records from the Department of Health, newspaper obituaries, and letters
from a county’s Register of Wills. A bill to allow the state to use ERIC’s death records was introduced by Rep. Seth Grove, a Republican, in April. HB 2507 passed unanimously through the state House and awaits action in the state Senate.

The mail in ballot process is what bothers me. I am concerned that it is the means for voter fraud via ballot harvesting. I know the recounts of the 20 election proved they were tabulated accurately but it doesn’t prove the ballots weren’t fraudulently cast. I don’t believe, at least I haven’t seen it, that this (mail in) has been accurately addressed and proven to be “fraud proof”. If they can still rig elecions in Chicago which is the usual status quo, and Detroit where I have seen obvious voter fraud with election of Quama the gangster as mayor,(just released from prison) I feel it can happend nationwide. I despise Trump so I am not one of those. Everyone should be concerned about this.

In some states, urban districts are given disproportionately few polling locations per population.

“Republicans desperately need to abandon Trump. His vindictive politics cost Republicans the Senate and nearly cost Republicans the House.”
I’d suggest simplifying this to – “vindictive politics cost Republicans the Senate and nearly cost Republicans the House.”
Jan 6th happened and Republicans need to distance themselves from that brand of politics, claims of stolen elections are what fueled Jan 6th…. Ron Johnson came a hairs width from losing, he needs to shut up about “stop the steal” already.
Also, don’t blame everything on Trump.
5 states ran ballots on abortion this week, all five voted pro-choice – including Kentucky, that’s right, Kentucky.
Trump’s about to announce he’s in, so is DeSantis – These two will to get into a nasty “Who’s the angriest, most right wing” contest, while that type politics might bode well in Florida, the rest of the country wants to get as far away from the “January 6th” element as possible.
Saying “I’m not with Trump” while promoting the same angry/insultive ideology isn’t going to pass muster.

Knowing what the problem is, and knowing what to do about it are two entirely different things. The Republicans have been consistently outplayed because they don’t know what to do to level the playing field–aka fix the problem. Again and again, they respond with the same tired idiocy.
What was January 6th actually about? IMO: the raw expression of pent-up frustration present in about half of the country. Your response, “promoting the same angry/insultive ideology” is, in fact more of the same, and equally destructive.
Regarding that frustration, an interesting exercise is to break down the political power centers.

Trump’s about to announce, and it’s looking like Desantis is in too, the venom between these two alone won’t bode well with the middle.
It’ll be a man-boy contest of who’s the most right wing, anti-immigrant, anti-woke, anti-abortion, pro-gun, no background despite school shootings …etc…etc.
In just one example, 5 states ran ballots on abortion this week, all five voted pro-choice – including Kentucky, that’s right, Kentucky.
For those who chastised me for saying the abortion issue would matter, feel free to berate me when I say that angry vitriol will matter for 2024.
.Jan 6th happened, and it has “R” all over it – the “angry republican” routine’s done, but feel free to lash out in anger at me for saying this.
You can say “I’m not with Trump” till the cows come home, but if you’re pushing the same angry insultive message he did, 2024’s going to be a very bad year for republicans.

Lies, damned lies and statistics. Your post piqued my interest.
Are you talking about registered voters? Because only 31 states even allow identification by registration. And in the states that allow it, here are the results from the 2020 presidential election:
The percentage of voters registered with the Democratic Party increased from 45.1% to 46.3%. The percentage of voters registered with the Republican Party decreased from 27.1% to 24.0%. And 24% registered as independents.
Looking at 2022, the number of registered Repubs is actually less than the number of Independents and way less than the number of Dems.

The numbers you are quoting are for just one state – California. Overall, nationwide, I believe the numbers are close to 30% for both R and D, and about 40% are independent, give or take 1 or 2 percent in each case.
As for the OP, I think he was referring to these nationwide generic House vote numbers:

D 47,501,201 (46.7%)
R 52,176,447 (51.3%)
i.e. a lead of 4.6% for R.
