The extent of the Republican disaster is mind boggling.
This is the final Cook Political Report rating pre election. Dems won every "Likely D "seat. They won every toss up seat. They won or are ahead in 7 of the 18 "Lean R"'s, they won 7 of the 17 ""Likely R". Dems won all their likely or safe seats, Dems also picked up 2 "solid" R seats.

He blows up six data centers in Russia and suddenly every Republican loses their election. 🤔

It’s not over yet. Democrats are leading in Mississippi (MISSISSIPPI!) and Alaska although those races haven’t been called.

I didn’t even follow the results because like @captainkudzu , I knew what was coming. Let Democrats remember one thing: the massive rejection is of Trump, not all the policies. It’s him, not the things he promised. It’s him, all him. Republicans did exactly what Trump asked: they pretended he was on the ballot, and delivered a needed message to American politicians. Tying yourself to a criminally minded nascent tyrant with a mean streak, and a tendency to say and do dumb things, will result in your removal. Even if you’re related in the smallest way, you’re gone. Now send in someone who will do what they say. I hope Democrats don’t think they have a mandate for every nutty progressive idea they can cook up. This is about one man, and the message was delivered. @NewsRacket open.substack.com/pub/therac…

Too late.
If the President wants to begin again anew with the voters, he’ll fire Howard Lutnick and Peter Navarro today, end all tariffs except on China, and embrace Canada’s proposal for trade.

One delicious thing about last night was that Republicans far outspent Democrats. This proves that politics isn’t just about money. Sometimes even piles of money can’t overcome intensely unpopular policies and candidates.

Prepare for the Trump response. It’s going to allege massive cheating and promote violence. We need to preserve the republic when some will seek to destroy it to preserve their own power.

I am glad to see that, so far, nearly every candidate in a major race who came up short has done the right and honorable thing and conceded their race. That is how it is supposed to be. Come back and fight harder in 2, 4, 6 years. No one likes losing…and no one especially like sore losers.

Wondering if @TheRickWilson has time for this.
STFU you washed up political loser. You’re angry because you’ll actually have to now work for a living.  You’re one of the most mentally unhinged POS to ever be in Congress. We lost last night for many reasons, including because of useless, self-promoting, do-nothings like you.  Good riddance, crackpot.

Observations: 12 Republican senators can remove Trump. Will they? Would JD Vance join them in a (legal, intraparty) coup to save himself in 2028? Will Trump have any power in the GOP ever again?

I remember when Susan Collins was considered a RINO rather than a hero by Republicans. Her middle-of-the-road triangulation survived a lot, but it couldn’t survive Donald Trump.

Today’s election results are not going to be an embrace of socialism, communism, progressivism or Sharia law. They are going to be a rejection of corruption, authoritarianism, incompetence, and racism.

I think a lot of Republican voters still think the party believes what it did as recently as 2012.
Honest answer? Huge percentages of Democrat voters are legacy supporters of the party and still think their party believes the things they believed in the 1990’s.

Conservative pro-lifers want to prevent abortions, but many don’t want to adopt the policies that could help to reduce the abortion rate. They just want to enact bans. theracketnews.com/p/the-abor…

I remember stating on my podcast six or eight months ago about how as Ukrainian fixed wing aircraft are able to operate more freely near the front lines, we would start to see an increased effect. Drones have obviously played their part, but there is just nothing that compares to 500 pd bombs. 👊❤️🙏
Ukrainian Air Force aviation struck Russian command posts, shelters and personnel in the operational zone of the South Group of Forces. #Ukraine
