    But Warnock isn't a republican. Again, isn't your real problem equity? You seem to not want Walker because he doesn't represent the minority well. That seems pretty racist if I'm being honest. Since you won't see your own racism, does it help for others to point it out to you? Or is that why you maintain the position that it is unknowable for you? Hard questions. I doubt there will be answers. I don't expect them at any rate. What I do expect is that once again, you're take the ad hom pen out.

    I don't want Walker (not being a Georgian) because he doesn't represent anybody well.... He's a rank embarrassment, to the state, his party, and his race...

    Still a true triple threat!!

    The whirl of racism you mash out... it's amazing. I don't think anyone I know has ever said someone represents their "race well".... and actually meant it. I suppose this is what you think about Clarence as well.. Democrats really don't like it when minorities oppose them in public... It's way too stark..

    That sounds an awful lot like defamation. Was he convicted?

    So, typical left the plantation mentality. At least you admit to it. As Biden said, imfamously, "you ain't black"... Who said the racist south died out, y'all living large these days.

    They don't seem to recognize everybody, from the leftist liberal to the MAGAist MAGA, should be able to identify bad political candidates, regardless of their race or other factors.

    What makes this entire argument hysterical is we are supporting the good candidate black man instead...

    Yet, we're still racists, proving for all time that MAGA doesn't understand the meaning of the word...

    Remember, Ron Johnson came in as a "Tea Party" favorite in his initial Senate debut and defeated several prominent Republicans. He has always portrayed himself as "fiscal conservative" and "socially conservative." And this appealed to Wiscounsites because they too, as a populace, believe in both fiscal and social conservatism, to some degree, but not to the degree Ron Johnson has made it. I never liked him and he is one of the worst when it came to misinformation about the ACA when it was being legislated. And in those days, the "Tea Party" was the MAGA of today and some of its supporters and local candidates had crazy ideas about everything from government to immigration.

    If the GOP loses PA, that’s a Democrat gain. AZ is a democratic hold. WI would be another Democratic gain. There are other states where the race is interesting, OH, Ryan leads Vance, GA Warnock leads Walker, NC, Beasley and Budd tied which could be another Democratic pickup. NV may not mean much depending on PA, WI and NC. What these states have in common is Vance, Walker, Budd were all Trump endorsed candidates which are poor general election candidates along with Oz in PA and Masters in AZ.


    It seems the Republican senatorial committee is short on funds. If one has a long memory, after 1-6 several mega-republican party donors said back then they wouldn’t donate to a Trump led party. There’s been an article about that every so often over the last year and a half where normal mega GOP donors haven’t donated. Perhaps some of those meant what they said about Trump after 1-6?


    I’d say the red wave so many Republicans and Trump supporters were talking about on this site isn’t going to happen. Going by today’s numbers, the Democrats look poised to pickup a senate seat or two, perhaps three instead of losing seats. The Democrats are also set to gain 3 or 4 governorships. Only in the house does it look like the Republicans will gain seats. Today 18-20 is most likely, enough for the GOP to regain control in the house. But all of this is a far cry from a red wave election where the Republicans would gain 40 plus house seats and 6 plus senate seats. I think one can thank Trump for no red wave happening. Trump has been an albatross around the Republicans neck for this midterm.

    Well one of them lied about graduating from college. One of them clearly believes he is above the law. Obviously this would be the stochastic terrorist calling himself a Democrat. Dumb as a rock, sleazy as sewage, as radical as BLM/AntiFa, as racist as the KKK and as charismatic as a pig eating garbage..... nobody epitomizes the progressive left more than this scumbag. By far the worst person I have seen run for a national office in Wisconsin.

    It is interesting and curious. One factor that might be in play: the National Republican Senatorial Committee has long not been held in high repute by much of the GOP base and especially conservative Republicans. I for one never read their ads and certainly would never send them a dime.

    Here's some interesting polling because it involves 2 races in the same state...

    Wi Gov
    Evers 45%
    Michaels 43%
    IND 7%

    Wi Sen
    Barnes 51%
    Conspiracy Ron 44%

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/marquette-poll-shows-mandela-barnes-180419903.html

    Not sure which of those 2 is more important (at this time), but NOBODY wants to see Conspiracy Ron with access to a microphone anymore...

    That’s interesting. But I’m not surprised. Johnson is an avid Trumper. I haven’t heard anything on Michaels whether he is or not. It’s kind of like here in Georgia where Kemp leads D Abrams by 4 points, not a Trumper whereas Trumper Walker trails Warnock by 4. An 8-point difference between Kemp and Walker. That’s were independents and their dislike of Trump comes in.

    I’d say as far as the senate is concerned; it does look like the Democrats will retain control. At least as of today.

    At least retain control... if they can get to 52, then they can ignore the 2 quasi-Republicans and maybe get some real stuff done....

    Not if the Republicans retake control of the house which seems highly likely. But retaining control of the senate ensure Biden’s nominations will be approved or confirmed. Here’s my take in on House.


    Currently the House of Representative consists of 221 Democrats, 214 Republicans. The GOP needs a net gain of 4 seats to take control of the House. There are 56 competitive, switchable, at risk districts. Currently held by 42 Democrats and 14 Republicans. Safe seats as of 17 Aug 2022, 179 Democratic, 200 Republican. Probable net gain for the Republicans is 18-20 seats. Which would give the GOP control of the house with the majority over the Democrats somewhere between 232-203 to 234-201.


    Which I average out 7 different forecasters along with my own input using the site below.

    All of this is very dynamic, next week, next month, this could look completely different or not.

    Fake News. Ryan has never lead in any of the RCP polls.

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2022/senate/oh/ohio_senate_vance_vs_ryan-7624.html
    McConnell has an iron grip on these funds and he used it previously to destroy the Tea party.

    McConnell would rather lead the minority than lose the leadership position with the GOPin the majority, therefore, more important to McConnell than winning the majority is this equation GOP/2+1, that's what's required for McConnell to remain GOP leader and he preserves this by ensuring that GOP senators that will not vote for McConnel are minimized where they cannot be eliminated.

    If a GOP senate candidate does not bend the knee to McConnell, they not only have to beat the Democrats they also have to beat McConnell.

    McConnell is not committed to the election of Oz, Vance, Laxalt or Walker. Vance he likely can't stop, but, 4 more GOP winners who are not committed to McConnell is not helpful for McConnell.

    John Fetterman’s musing on murderers may be a gift to Dr. Oz 'Even as Philadelphia, Pennsylvania’s largest city, struggles with increased crime, Fetterman has a radical dream for the state’s prison population.'

    Fetterman, remember, heard a firecracker, then chased down an unarmed innocent black jogger and held him a gun point. He's a dangerous nut.

    Fetterman's plans for the 'prison population, especially those in prison for murder' shows that 'he’s completely out of his mind, not because of his stroke, which has slowed his speech; this is' radically extreme 'leftism, pure and simple.'

    He dreams of ending “Life without parole in Pennsylvania” for convicted murderers. He wants them released and back out on the streets. 'Fetterman expands on his dream: We could expunge many permanent records of people who have been living their best lives and have been paying well beyond when they should have for a charge they caught ten, fifteen years ago.'

    'A charge they caught'. He makes being convicted for first degree murder by a jury of your peers, beyond a reasonable doubt, sound like they innocently caught the flu.

    [​IMG]
    Wants convicted murderers released and their records cleansed so that they can vote, buy firearms, serve in office and on juries.

    'John Fetterman wants to RELEASE one-third of criminals from prison.'

    'America is suffering from a massive crime wave, Philadelphia included. One of the major tools in protecting a community’s citizens is to separate criminals from their probable future victims. Fetterman has the opposite dream. He wants to get criminals back on the streets.'

    These folks never change their thinking. This is a religion to them, and they are impervious to the harm and slaughter that results from their actions. And it's not the privileged Gentry with all their fine ideas living in gated communities that are stabbed robbed raped and murdered by released violent criminals, hell no, it's the working and middle class that can't afford private armed security.

    'Oz has struggled as a candidate, making some unforced errors and receiving no help from a GOP that views him as' potentially anti-McConnell 'and, therefore, more dangerous even than the Democrat party. Nevertheless, Oz is far better than a candidate whose biggest, most fervent dream is to flood America’s streets with “safe” criminals, including murderers. It’s time for Pennsylvania’s voters to wise up a bit and send Fetterman back to his parents’ basement.'

    It appears those cuts are a result of Sen. Rick Scott's mismanagement of the funds. The ational Republican Senatorial Committee had about $150 million dollars or so in the bank and now appears, just months before the November midterms that they have some $28 million or so. So, the Republicans are asking "where's the money Rick?" Rick responded by taking a vacation in Italy to be on his superyacht to italy to be with family. From the link below, it says, "Matters came to a head last week when The New York Times reported that the National Republican Senatorial Committee has scaled back its investments in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Arizona — three of the nation’s most important battleground states — which the newspaper characterized as “a likely sign of financial troubles headed into the peak of the 2022 midterm election season.”

    "The decision was soon followed by questions about why the NRSC suddenly lacked money after months of robust fundraising."
    .
    Why is this not surprising? Rick Scott, and his company, agreed to pay the largest Medicare Fraud settlement in history. Is it possible that he used the funds to develop, promote, and authoritze "his economic plan?" Or was that money siphoned to DJT and his PAC? Or did Sen. Rick Scott make unauthorized investments that have not panned so well?

    Why doesn't the false prophet donate some money to the candidates he backed that are losing donation? Trump is sitting on a $100 million war chest and has spent little to none of it. I guess he's saving it for the big election fraud lawsuit.

    If he's sitting on something, it's probable that it's been ground down to dust by now....

    T**** supporters don't want Donnie to spend their money on these loser candidates.... they'd prefer he spend it on their loser candidate.....
