wdmso, i stated very clearly what the point was. I’m sorry if you missed it, you’re the only person on the planet who missed it.

it was the GOPs turn to win more votes but lose elections. i’m not complaining. that’s the reality.

when your side wins a popular vote but loses an election, you cry about the unfairness of the electoral college. I’m not doing that at all, i’m saying we were due

Do you do this on purpose? i can’t believe anyone is wrong as often as you are, that anyone misses what was explicitly stated as often as you.

i can’t believe we don’t know who won the House yet.

Jim your trying to cast sunshine on the popular vote. When it just the opposite

You twisted a midterms popular vote count to some how but not surprised
As the same as a presidential election and the electoral college

This is what happens with extreme republicans gerrymandering districts.. all your votes are in one basket . It is no evidence of how popular republicans are.,

But feel free to think that’s what it is.
Even Newt can sees it


We had five or 6 million more votes and we don't pick up a whole bunch of seats



Gingrich said the 6 million reported popular vote margin – which he said is likely to shrink somewhat as California returns continue to come in – should be a key facet of that investigation.

"We had five or 6 million more votes and we don't pick up a whole bunch of seats. We need to analyze that. I mean, there's something going on out there that we don't understand," he said.


Several post back I said a wins a win but a gop controlled house is going to be an example disfunction
On an epic level.

You're hearing those voices.

I said its the GOPs turn to be on the receiving end of the occasional harshness of electoral math reality.

Let me see if I can use words so simple, even you can get it...I am not saying it's a cause for celebration that the GOP got more votes. I'm saying that now we know how the democrats feel when this happens to them.

I'm sorry, if you can't grasp that, I can't help you . It's not complicated. You're responding to something I didn't say.

"a gop controlled house is going to be an example disfunction
On an epic level."

We will see. There will be investigations you won't like, as there were investigations I didn't like.

Whats good for the goose...

If you are a pitcher on a baseball team, and the other pitcher is beaning your hitters, would you eventually throw at someone on their team, to send a message?

The democrats, the media, Biden's DOJ, nd big tech got together to bury discussion on POSSIBLE Biden wrongdoing before the 2020 election. This isn't debatable. Had those people done their jobs, we wouldn't be in this situation. But we are. Elections have consequences.

This is assuming the GOP takes the house. I have no clue how likely that is, as many of the un-called house elections are in California.

Why do you say "no governing"? From 2019-2020 when the democrat controlled house was holding hearings, did they not do any governing? Why can't the house investigate and govern at the same time? Or can only democrats pull that off?

How about making up another conspiracy that I cling to?

Seems the only on hearing voices are you

No Jim I am paying attention your just parroting GOP spin on the midterms it’s all over right wing news stations Fox’s lead

Gingrich calls for postmortem review of midterms, lauds GOP for reportedly winning popular vote

Which definition of lauds do you think fox is pushing Praise or prayers

The difference is Jim gop investigation are based on fantasy and revenge.

Democrats investigation are the rule of law and a coup attempt by a sitting president and his supporters ..
That you and others insist it was just a. Few bad apples

Funny what investigations you don’t like

No suddenly we have a new gop line

Ron Johnson Claims President Biden 'Almost Certainly Is Compromised' By Hunter's Dealings With China

But let’s wash over the Saudis government part of 9/11 (says the GOP) and their 2 billion to Jared but call it an investment but hunter money was influence peddling

Republicans are pathological in their lies

"The difference is Jim gop investigation are based on fantasy and revenge."

The Bidens couldn't have possibly done anything wrong, because he's a democrat. Right?

How do you know they didn't do anything unethical?

"But let’s wash over the Saudis government part of 9/11 (says the GOP) and their 2 billion to Jared"

Whatabout-ism! Sorry I must call you out on whatabout-ism, which sometimes you are opposed to, and clearly sometimes you think is totally valid!

I'm all for investigating Donald and Jared. Do it.

"Republicans are pathological in their lies "

You say so. Not as pathological as your flip flopping.

Conservative-bad. liberal=good.

Keep bleating that Wayne, like a good sheep.

Jim your version of how to justify an investigation is and I quote

If the Biden's didn’t do anything wrong then they have nothing to worry about. You should just add don’t you think Comrade !

We’re not investigating Hunter Biden for political reasons,” Comer says. “We’re investigating Hunter Biden because we believe he’s a national security threat, who we fear has compromised Joe Biden.”

Comer also wants to hold hearings focused on the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic

If we don’t engage in impeachment inquiries to get the documents and the testimony and the information that we need, then I believe that our voters will feel betrayed,” Rep. Matt Gaetz, Republican of Florida

H.Res.57 - Impeaching Joseph R. Biden, President of the United States, for abuse of power by enabling bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors.

Sponsor: Rep. Greene, Marjorie Taylor [R-GA-14] (Introduced 01/21/2021)

It’s a here to read Jim. Keep convincing yourself Republicans have integrity and ethical behaviors
History paints a different picture


And comparing the GOP version of Jared 2 billion as an investment and hunters 1million as influence peddling is not whataboutism but clear and dishonest word choices by republicans .

it was all i expected as there were so many more gop
senate seats up. the senate was always a steep
uphill climb, but a lot of pollsters got many of those races very wrong.

in 2024 the democrats have 24 senators up for re election, the gop 10. That’s ripe for a meaningful shift, but Trump could easily dash those hopes.

Assuming trump runs, does desantis challenge him in the primary? Or does he concede and wait until 2028? fascinating stuff, but none of it helpful to the gop.

there’s 85 i vestiges ruins into trump. Can’t one of them
lead to a conviction of something? Just one?

Trump will announce today he is running for president, the question in the back of his mind is how much can I make in this next money grab. I think a Trump/Lake ticket will be fun for Americans.

Sorry Jim you were pushing the Red wave like no other here .on how democrats were going to be Crushed

You conceded it was a failure

I on the other looked at historical and it usually Flips and really normal

But this midterms are historical for different reason..

Yes the Republicans will have a slim majority.

But all the red wave riders are trying to spin the taking of the house . By a hair

Like Trump who said I always said we only needed to win by a few seats. took credit because someone he endorsed won. And something about the Chinese some how involved in the midterms elections

Even Kevin is dumbing it down as a win. . Which is correct
A wins a win But !!!

The republicans won’t attempt to governor. their base only wants to own the libs

Rick Scott said as much on fox. While attacking Mitch on Fox complaining about the previous bipartisan bills passed as folding to radical democrats

The house is a clown car now we wait to see how many clowns pop out

oh you’re 100% correct that everyone who called for a tsunami looks silly and they’re scrambling to make excuses. But 99% of the polling called for a wave so you can’t blame people for not ignoring all the polling. Everybody got it wrong.

They are right a win is a win. And you are right that it should have been a bigger win. No one knows for sure why it wasn’t a bigger win. Abortion, Trump fatigue, weak candidates, lack of a strong GOP message, take your pick…. Also the senate seats that happened to be up, we’re extremely favorable for democrats. that won’t be the case in 2024 when it’s a dream rotation for the GOP. But they’ll screw it up, or Trump will, or all of them perhaps.

When the democrats took the house in 2018 it was one hearing after another. That sure didn’t bother you. Now it’s someone else’s turn. And that really bothers you. You have absolutely zero ability to just say “we did it when we were in power, now it’s their turn.”. You’ve never once said that. You can’t.

Democrats really, really don’t like it when the gop takes control and then does what the democrats had been doing. They HATE that. It’s exactly what you’re doing here.

The DOJ, the Biden administration, and big tech buried the Biden corruption story. Fine. Assuming the GOP indeed takes the house, now that story comes out.

What’s good for the goose! Or Elections have consequences. Take your pick. In 2020, America wanted a biden as POTUS. In 2022, America wanted the GOP to take the house. Obviously Biden won in a landslide and the GOP at best will have a tiny majority, but the size of the majority doesn’t matter much in a practical sense.
