2022 Midterm Elections: NO RED WAVE! - GOP Takes U.S. House; Dems Keep U.S. Senate
- Thread starter FAH1223
- Start date
Desantis is only 44 (though he looks more like 54). My guess is that he will chill and wait for 2028, when he will be either greeted as a savior after Trump losing, or run to carry on Trump's legacy with Trump's blessings.
A few ny dems lost seats they should have won, which will probably be the reason the gop hold the house.
Kemp did well with Latino men and women, he will probably run for senate when his term is over.
Every commercial with him walking around with that football made me wanna blow my brains out

Rethuglicans I work with…the mood is tepid bordering on simmering rage that they think I can’t see
Already going on about how they’ve been hearing about “some voting machines not working properly”
They still don’t understand. This was an indictment by the American voter on the cult they’ve willingly joined and refused to leave. And I have no sympathy for them anymore
What's the age range? And where you at breh?
Heads need to roll in NY. That state should never be the reason why Dems lose congress.

Ok... and gerrymandering will make it even harder next go around. I still don't see a reason to celebrate especially with how early it is.

It's a mid term election and we were supposed to get blown out of the fukking water by the "red wave". Even conservatives like Ben Shapiro are crying and calling it the Red Wedding instead.
Democrats extremely over-performed. Dems still have a chance at controlling the House and the Senate. The fact it's still up in the air and not firmly in control by the GOP already is fantastic news.
Yeah, maybe.
I think an interesting possibility is DeSantis running, but avoiding criticizing Trump (so as to not alienate his supporters), while someone who doesn't have anything to lose, like Chris Christie, attacking Trump and blaming him for the midterm results (and possibly damaging Trump enough to prevent him from getting the nomination).

Keepin' it 100
Nah, I think he's going to be feeling a lot of heat from big time GOP donors who want to nail the Trump coffin shut and he's their best chance to do it.
There's also the fact he's term-limited and will be out of office come 2027. So he can't pull more bullshyt with the state when he's a private citizen.

When you turn on Fox News or The Daily Wire and see them all coping and the mood crashing through the floor, you know they understand what's happening as well. Major victories today, and voters are making it clear that they're rejecting the MAGA cult bullshyt.Ok... and gerrymandering will make it even harder next go around. I still don't see a reason to celebrate especially with how early it is.

Desantis is not going to walk down Trump. Just stop. That inauthentic mannequin is going to melt on that national stage. Just watch.
