Let?s not also forget the Koch brothers (plus Adelsons, etc) have spent billions trying to buy elections over the years. Steyer and Bloomberg have spent peanuts in comparison.
Do evangelicals (and Rs) really think getting to appoint a couple SC judges make it worth corrupting a Republic?
Btw it?s now looking likely all OC house Seats will turn blue. Even ca45. Tons of ballots left to count and the historical D lean on those has been holding so far. Sayonara Mimi.
Part of the Reagan Revolution was his big tent initiative. Reagan brought tons of Dems over to the GOP. Reagan, a former Dem, famously said I didn?t leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left me, meaning that Reagan?s political philosophy had always been the same while the Democratic Party turned hard socialist left. Thanks to Reagan the south flipped red and the hard core war mongers (neo-cons) left the Dems and joined the GOP (although some like Max Boot and David Frum) are apparently going back over to the Dems.
Trump can learn something from Reagan. Trump can easily bring the Blacks, Hispanics, Asians over to the GOP because they have much more in common culturally with the GOP that the crazed leftist ideology of the Dems.
It's not a crazy headline unless you only see things through the liberal vs. conservative paradigm. The Weekly Standard has always had a globalist perspective and has never supported the likes of King, a nationalist.
This isn?t about the liberal v. conservative, this is globalist v. nationalist.
There are conservative globalists (like the Weekly Standard) and liberal globalists (like Soros), and there are conservative nationalists (like Trump) and liberal nationalists (like labor unions).

The Caravans and MS-13 went to the same news dumping ground as did Roy Moore's accusers back in 2017. Sheesh You'd think a child rape victim would get a day in court, but post election it's all meh again.
As said in a movie long ago.. "Forget it Jake. It's Chinatown".

Ok but let?s not forget this troop deployment political stunt is going to add $200-300m to our debt.Soylent Green Is People said:

With so many races all over still being counted over the next week, predictit.org is one way to gauge what?s happening. You could?ve bet on a Katie win yesterday for 10c and the bet is worth 73c today.

Dems are on track to win 38 seats now . That?s a pretty big sweep and actually much better than 2006 when adjusted for the more difficult house map and the iraq war unpopularity tailwind contrast that to the strongest economy in a decade now .
I am actually very pleased that the centrist wing in the party won , Pelosi for all her flaws is a political genius ? ran the right people for their districts, allowed them to openly be opposed to her, and channeled money and resources properly. The hard progressive wing didnt make much headway and eventually all came around. This is a pretty big achievement given how diverse a tent Democratic Party is compared to the monolithic older white base of republicans
The more I read details on what actually happened, Republicans have a tough slog ahead if they cant win back the suburban whites (these TI posters don?t count
.
The results should actually boost people like joe Biden who can decimate trump in the Midwest and solidly turn it blue . Except Ohio which is a lost cause now with voter base turning even older and whiter with low diploma %s even within the Midwest .
Democrats are really lucky to have trump in the office ? he will be the final nail in the coffin for the extremism in the Republican Party . I still can?t believe how he threw the house away by not focusing on the economy , healthcare and jobs ?
He had the perfect fortune of all the good stuff from his policies being front loaded (tax cuts , stock market, wage gains) while the bad after effects (deficits and possible recession ) were all back ended
I mean the xenophobes and evangelical nuts are always going to vote for you anyways , why not expand the tent a little bit at least .

People are still living in a fantasy world wrt trump, hallmark of personality worship cult . Remember the TI posts here on how he was making inroads into African Americans because of Kanye west ?
And now we have this clown of an acting attorney general who was already under investigation for a snake oil company by the FBI that he is going to oversee ! Where do they find these people .
Hard to believe immigrants can make it any worse. We are already behaving like a third world country with what?s going on , all in the name of ?owning the libs?

To understand how meaningless labels are in the Trumpian era , you only have to look at this crazy headline here
