We all know what’s going on in Florida.
Take care of those titties for me.

It also doesn't help that, crazy as she is, Sinema is a lot more bangable, which, having seen nothing else from the race aside from those tapes, made me think she had a good chance to win despite how crazy she sounded. Still a lot to come in. It's going to come down to the wire. Everything depends on what parts of Maricopa are still out.
Anyway, some good news and bad news coming out of all of this. It seems Republicans have made inroads with blacks and Hispanics everywhere, but they're also losing white voters. For example, in Florida, DeSantis got 14% of the black vote and 44% of the Hispanic vote but lost 4% of Trump's share of the white vote from 2016, down 9 points(!) among white women. If DeSantis and Scott had kept Trump's white vote share, they'd have run away with this thing and no amount of fraud from Broward would be keeping us in suspense like this. And in Arizona, Sinema wouldn't even be a thing.
These pearl clutching suburban whites are a big, big problem. The women in particular (shocking).
There's no doubt that the decline in marriage and the retardation of family formation among Millennials is a massive problem, along with the decline of masculinity and, obviously, the continued indoctrination in the universities. All of these things need to be dealt with.
Short term, Trump is probably going to need to lower the temperature and has to get the ball moving on healthcare.

WB Sinema definitely, with full video evidence. Does that matter much though Libertas? Democrat women are usually trolls, so they don't have much problem getting elected if ugly.
It matters enough. It's well-known that more attractive people do better in elections (as in everything else in life). It was partially for this reason that I pegged Josh Hawley as winning in Missouri and earlier in the year wasn't surprised when Conor Lamb won in Pennsylvania.
It's obviously not the only reason, but it does matter.

I don't trust ANY of these midterms with the schenanigans in Florida, Arizona etc. This midterm can NEVER happen again (voter ID NOW.) If it was possible the results should be thrown out and a fair election should be run (I'm aware this is completely untenable politically.)
There's nothing unusual going on in Arizona. They're just painfully slow to report. The ballot count was already tabulated and known.
Florida is a different story because new ballots just magically "appeared" after the actual vote when they were required to be reported 30 minutes after the polls closed and Broward is still refusing to say how many are left outstanding, in violation of state law.
Voter ID wouldn't solve this. In fact, I think Florida (and Arizona too) already has voter ID. Correct me if I'm wrong.

In my opinion, Trump doesn't have to change a thing in terms of his behavior. His asinine pivot to trying to tackle health care first was what did the R's in across the rust belt.
When medicaid expansion was put on the ballot in R states last week, it won.
The losses aren't on Trump. They are on Ryan and McConnel and trump letting them control legislative priorities.

I don't think trump will have many victories in the next 2 years, he will try and pivot during election time to the issues that got him elected, unfortunately he hasn't moved the needle much and will have hard time getting that 2016 turnout with an increasingly unfavorable "American" demographic.

I predict this forum in 2020 will be divided in 2 teams:
Team 1. Lets go Trump
Team 2. Lets fast-track the apocalypse.
Some positives for 1:
The repatriation of all that money abroad is ongoing and America's companies will continue to invest in the US with a very competitive 21% tax rate. There will not be a slow down or a recession in the next 2 years. There has been some defunding from Devos in the department of education and national defense has cut some women programs. EPA has been reduced which does work in concert with other leftist institutions. Also some billions of dollars that go to "civil rights" groups has been cut. The major victory could be blocking state department from funneling money abroad to Ngo's, i haven't seen any progress on this but there are still 2 years left. 2 SCJ picked with likely at least 2-3 more in post 2020, many more federal judges.
Rants and dark prediction for 2:
There is no point in delaying the inevitable. America is destined for conflict or at least a soft civil war. An outright leftist victory across all branches of government would seal its fate. All they have to do is legalize 4-5 million illegals and each one can sponsor 8-10 people, not including the other legal migration waves. Of course in the Dems win, they will likely legalize at least 11 milion straight away. America will suffer temporarily while we clever Rfvers will be abroad at an airbnb in "insert country that doesn't teach it's next generation to hate themselves." Conflict will start with the republican party divided in 2 then further. After which the Dem party will be divided into a "liberal party" and a Socialist party. You will have multi party system with separatists, anarchists, ethnocentric parties all partially funded by China, Russia, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Western countries, even mexico might have a say. They will each take opposite sides or try and control both sides of the conflict. American corporations will betray the government by allying with foreign countries in exchange for greater access to their market, starting with Google-Facebook in China. Remember, the main enemy of a multinational CEO is government.
I think the Dem candidate will be favored to win. North Carolina and Florida will have millions of inmates voting. Trump might do some sort of a daca deal, if not he won't get the wall, either way its a lose lose situation. There is going to be a wave of congressional investigations in the next 2 years. Also tech companies and media conglomerates have been cracking down hard on conservatives and are working nicely together.
I don't think trump will have many victories in the next 2 years, he will try and pivot during election time to the issues that got him elected, unfortunately he hasn't moved the needle much and will have hard time getting that 2016 turnout with an increasingly unfavorable "American" demographic.

The situation down here in Florida is looking very strange and the media is doing everything in its power to avoid the issue. They will cover literally anything besides this ie. first the California shooting, now it's the wildfires.
What are the chances of the election results being turned around? and if so what would be the repercussions of this?

So has Trump let the Arizona Senate race go to the democrats without an investigation of the vote count ?
Is it officially over ?

Don't stop there. Stand down orders from commy mayors in cities like Portland and Baltimore have gone unpunished. Trump is just buying us all time. The left plays offense and banks on the nearly predictable "high ground" response of the right.
