    It’s being signed by the governor. +1 seat for D, -1 seat for R

    Surprised Louisiana R governor was cool with it.  He could’ve raised a stink and tried to fight it, but I think the Cajuns made the right move by avoiding the inevitable embarrassment of losing in court over and over and over again like Alabama did.

    It’s possible.  I’m still shocked Trump barely squeaked out 50%.

    Nikki is running for 2028.  Ron is running for…Casey.

    The good news for Biden is that Trump will go hard at Nikki and Ron’ and trash them and their supporters as RINOs. That’ll leave a mark that doesn’t scrub away easily. There’s already been Nikki and Ron supporters who were on CNN, etc. and then got trashed by MAGA on their social media accounts, and it’ll only get worse.

    Casey desantis’s nickname is Walmart Barbie right?

    Well the LA Senate didn't care about Mike Johnson being a bitch.  Passed the Senate 27-11 and heads to the LA House. 

    It is going to be the map. 

    Don’t get what Mike Johnson was thinking here.  We all saw what happened in Alabama. The LA Republican governor supports the new map. They would lose in court anyway.

    Johnson was probably better off staying quiet and cutting his losses because now he just looks like an idiot.

    I will say this, I hope she does well in New Hampshire because the longer they have multiple candidates in the race, the longer it splits the donor money.  I read that they collectively spent $124 million in Iowa, that's war chest money down the drain infighting.  With a good enough performance in New Hampshire, that keeps her in at least until Super Tuesday.  If her, Ron, and he who shall not be named wind up in a dead heat in New Hampshire, all the better.  

    Totally agree.  I’m starting to worry that this could end before Super Tuesday which would really suck. Need to at least keep Trump off Biden until March.

    On a scale of low numbers don’t matter because virtual incumbency to low numbers means no enthusiasm, I’ve talked myself into the latter.  These candidates poured record amounts into this and clearly told their supporters they expect them to come out.  Nothing on the ground was telling people to rest because it is foregone conclusion.  This people were inundated with ads pleading them to come out.  I think it matters. 

    I’m hoping NH turnout is significantly lower than 2016 as well.  Then we’re definitely onto something.

  6. This is what some repubs are saying now that it looks like Trump will get the nomination.

    Quote

    the oldest voters from 2020 have died especially from COVID

    now, you will have a vast cohort of first time voters who were 10 years old when Trump took office. anyone think those are going to vote Trump by a majority!?!

    add in Biden already has the largest war chest of money ever raised, and trump will not be getting mass amounts of big donor cash and money from DeSantis supporters.

    GOP will lose the House and likely not gain the Senate as well with Trump at the top of the ticket. but at least they have good parties at Mar A Lago!

    Georgia is still facing another legal challenge, but this won't matter in terms of 2024.  I still think there is a very good chance the court approved map is overturned on appeal, but in all likelihood won't impact this year.  It's still a screw job.  

    Good thing Georgia is trending Blue. I’m hoping repubs can’t win there anymore by 2028

    Interesting development in Louisiana

    And a reply

     

    Cajuns knew they were going to lose like Alabama did and are just biting the bullet. Fine with me. Of all the court cases, I was most optimistic about Alabama and Louisiana. Their maps were both extremely obvious racist screw jobs. 
     

    Florida ended up being a loss because democrats have done so poorly in the state since Obama left. Repubs controlled literally all levers of power. Georgia was able to simply tweak their map without giving up any seats. I don’t think we will see anything come out of the remaining South Carolina / Texas lawsuits.

    I’m amazed that our country as a whole still gives a shit about Iowa. And I’m not just talking about last night’s caucuses.

    It probably helped that it’s below freezing nearly all over the country and the caucus was on a Monday night. Lots of folks probably had nothing to do but try to  stay warm and watch the shit show.

    Weather or no weather, noncompetitive primaries/caucuses always have low turnout. Honestly, it can just as reasonably be framed as an accomplishment to get almost as many voters out as you did in 2016 in a negative 12 billion degree snowstorm to vote in a race that's already decided. I really would not spike the football over primary turnout.

    I hope bama is right. Hopefully a big chunk of his base died due to old age or covid. Would make elections easier to win.

  11. Totally random story, but I don’t care.  I was real curious about how Florida would vote in 2018. I really wanted to see the dems get a major governor seat in the south. Obviously it didn’t work out very good.

    i remember watching this news report where they had a mixture of Florida voters and the guy most loyal / Republican to Trump was this 60 year old white dude who said everyone needs to “ get out of the way” and “ let trump fix everything”.  Total delusional trumper.

    The weather may in the long term prove beneficial to us.  If there is a record low turn out, everyone will just chalk it up to the weather.  What they won't consider is that there was a record low turn out due to weather combined with a lack of enthusiasm.  

    Fingers crossed anyway for such a result.  

    Anytime Trump is disappointed by turnout,  I crack a big ass smile.  I hope I’m smiling later this evening.

    What I’ve never understood about the whole GQP strident opposition to accepting federal dollars for Medicare expansion is….why? It’s there for the taking. It will improve the health and productivity of your citizens. Is it just the steadfast unyielding position that anything that even remotely sniffs of “Obama” must be opposed?

    I mean…I know that’s the answer. It’s just so. Fucking. Stupid.

    Because the GOP will never turn down the opportunity to own “ or arrest” a black guy.  Even if said Black guy has been out of politics for nearly 10 years now.

    I realize everyone responds differently but I usually bite off half a 25mg gummy every night and I get a tiny buzz (equivalent of one beer) and sleepy.  

    I've also taken oxy-whatever after a herniated disk in 2017 and 2022 and the high is about the same.  

    How anyone would make both illegal (or in the latter case, available by prescription) is regarded.  

    Dan Patrick sucks.
