Why No Red Wave? Five-Letter Word: T-R-U-M-P

Voters by 61-35% said Biden was legitimately elected. The House vote among that majority was 74-24%, a 3-1 Democratic margin... While 93% of Democrats said Biden was legitimately elected, so did 64% of independents, while only 28% of Republicans felt this. And among independents who accepted Biden as legitimate, 68% voted Democratic for House -- another result that helped stanch the party’s potential losses.

Unfortunately, some states are so gerrymandered that a Democrat has to win well more than 50.1 percent of the vote to win.

@beckyromero Losing the House will be a disaster. It will allow the GOP to hobble everything the Dems try to do.

Mitch McConnell's already been doing that.

But, remember, there's a silver lining in every cloud. Harry Truman proved that running against the "Do Nothing" Congress in 1948.

@DunningKruger Actually in my State, the lines were redrawn for a 50/50 split. The Democrats sued and won. Now it's back to Democrat Majority in each district.

"If, as it looks like, the Republicans win a small majority in the House, you can chalk it up to either gerrymandering in red states or the shift of House seats from blue states to red states."

Tell that to Sean Patrick Maloney, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. 🤫

"Presidents don't appoint state court justices."

You're right... that means one or more Democrat governors were hoist with their own petard.
They should have chosen more carefully. 😂

The GOP has controlled the state senate at various times, so they have a say in who gets confirmed to the state high court.

It's sad and shocking that all of those percentages are not higher tbh. Reality has a liberal bias.
I would love to watch the T rump meltdown on days like these. Maggie Haberman said Dotard even blamed Melania for Dr. Oz's poor outcome. When did she come out of hiding?
The house is trending R'ed, we'll have to wait and see for sure. ⏳️


They write the bills, the senate just votes on them.

@beckyromero
How many of those candidates were in BLUE districts?

Don't know, but they were all republicans.
Sorry to take the wind out of your sails - not sorry

@Budwick

I'm serious.

In what BLUE district did Trump endorse someone?

I'll be back...

POTUS is speaking now.

I think you misspelled ELECTION FRAUD. Even some of the counties involved won't certify the election results.

Wrong. it's two words. Abortion Rights.

@dakotaviper

And who was it who appointed three Supreme Court justices who helped overturn Roe v. Wade?
dakotaviper · 56-60, M
@beckyromero the smart idiot.
Budwick · 70-79, M
@beckyromero A 5-4 decision Held: The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the states.
