Harris broke out the “Loser Purple” just like Hillary.

This has been one of those days where Facebook is an absolute juicy treasure to scroll through. A total meltodown on the left, revealing that most of them are exactly what they fault the right for being.

Absolutely any shred of credibility and dignity that one would think that they deserved credit for has been blown away like a Russian cruiser.

It's really quite therapeutic in addition to being hysterical.

[THE_WIZARD_]

Correct. It's been hilarious watching MSDNC and CNN as well...

The program media has lost most of whatever cred they had after the election. Telling America for the last 8 years that DJT is a threat...and a Nazi...and Hitler...a tyrant...dangerous...only to get bitch slapped by the voters...it's fucking hysterical.

The party of tolerance, understanding, caring, open mindedness and maturity is certainly proving to be just the opposite.

But we already knew that, of course.

[THE_WIZARD_]

Correct.

Something I bet no one remembers but the 2004 race wasn't called until 5:30 AM (almost same time as 2024) when Fox called Ohio for Bush. That year exit polls showed Kerry winning by a decent margin in Ohio so people held off on calling it for quite a while.

The 1980 election ridiculously was called at 8:15 eastern time based SOLEY on exit poll info that ABC had. They declared Reagan the winner with like 20 states still voting. Would never happen that early today.

Ah I miss the days when Ohio mattered.

I do remember that one. Ohio went really late. But IIRC it was at 99% by then. We weren’t waiting for two weeks or even two days.

Hoping for 53 Rs in the Senate so that the Rs can get to 51 in the event that the cat ladies from Alaska and Maine cross the aisle, the Rs can still push stuff through.

They’d still have Vance as a tie-breaker if it ends up 52-48.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Dunno if he’s interested but Sherrod Brown should probably run for Vance’s empty seat in 2026. The Ohio Dems don’t have anyone better and he could win in a midterm year especially if Trump’s unpopular again by then.

[Mike]

Man, going back and reading through this thread is some fuuuuunnn shit.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Domestic steel industry expects Trump to raise the steel tariffs he imposed back in 2018 that Biden never reversed.

From September 30:

trumps poll numbers before 2016 showed him down 5-10 in the battleground states--he won 6/7

they showed him down in 2020 to biden 4-8 percent he lost by 50000 votes combined

they show him virtually tied this year --He always underpolls. if trends continue like 2016/2020 with his polling he wins in a rout in the battle ground states

especially if he would just STFU

Tom Cotton reportedly told Trump he's not interested in an admin job. I know he'd been rumored to possibly take a defense/foreign policy/intelligence position.
