I said last week watch where Trump does rallies in the last week but something didn't make sense

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

His stops in the last week have been heavily concentrated on the Senate. Even though everyone believes that the Republicans will hold the Senate. It's the House that's the tossup.

Then I remembered something: The Senators that are elected this time won't be up for re-election till 2024. The same year Trumps' 2nd term ends.

So Trump is campaigning for the Senators he will be working with for the rest of his time.

Mitch McConnell will be hammering through federal judges in warp speed for the remainder of Trump's term.

PLUS....the thinking is that by 2024, Trump will appoint a SC judge to replace Sleepy RBG, and Breyer as well.

That would give the SC 6 solid originalist judges, a moderate, and 2 liberals. So the Supreme Court will follow the Constitution and the rule of law for at least the next 30-40 years.

We'll see what happens tonight. Either Trump knows Republicans will hold the House, or he's ok with losing it. Just like in 2016, he had better information than the media does.

 

[IrishPokerDog]

He’s probably thinking a rising tide floats all ships.... but you may be right about him feeling the senate battles serve his future endeavors more.

Regarding the House, certainly there will be at worst a Blue trickle ..... as long as the seat count differential isn’t much more than 9, I think the conservative Blue Dog Dems will help keep us from the complete skull-dense stupidity of the progressive socialists

Twould be better for the ‘Pubs to hold the House outright

 

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

Looks like Trump's strategy worked like a charm. Senate solidly in his back pocket.

McConnell can coast through judges now at an even faster clip.

Next up: Bye bye Ruth-Bader Ginsburg. Helllooooooo Amy Coney Barrett.

Biggest shift in the history of the SCOTUS.

 

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

Republicans add 3-4 seats. But really more than that.

They dump Never Trumper Jeff Flake, replace with Martha McSally. Solidly Pro-Trump.

They dump Never Trumper Bob Corker, replace with Marsha Blackburn. Solidly Pro-Trump.

Republicans never had a majority in the Senate. In fact, counting Never Trumpers McCain, Corker and Flake, Republicans were actually the MINORITY.

Now they are solidly in the majority.

Senate Judiciary Commitee oversees BOTH the DOJ AND FBI.

Notice the SJC didn't really call for any investigations in last 2 years? Because Republicans had no true majority.

They do now. Sessions Unleashed.

 

[sadgator]

Yes. It was definitely Trump’s plan to lose the house...

What a genius...

Good Lord...

It was his plan to grow his majority in the Senate.

He got what he wanted. You got what you wanted.

Why are you so pissed? LOL

 

[sadgator]

Please.

He didn’t have any grand plan. He is lucky as shit to have those senate races fall as they did.

Just admit it. It sucks to lose a house of Congress. It is comical that you can’t just do that...

You are like Florida fans claiming a moral victory when Georgia beat the Gators by almost 20...

Oh, wait a minute...

That Marsha Blackburn was a big time pickup replacing Corker. Even Bredesen ran pro Trump because that was key to get in the senate.

 

[Sunburnt Indian]

We may not know McSally till Dec. 3. Update today at 6 PM Central. Too close to call. AZ Sec of State is scheduled to confirm winner by Dec. 3. Looks favorable for McSally at this time. McSally is strong for Trump. Flake was a never Trumper like Corker. Best Senate strengthening for sitting prez since JFK.

Very unlikely House can return us to economic stagnation we had under Obama. Trump is not a plantation cracker. Relax, brothers. We'll be okay.

This is about as equal as boosting in front of a Bama or UGA fan because we beat them in basketball...or worse baseball. Something that feels good, better than losing...but in the grand scheme of things, it's not a football victory. It's about as equal as resorting to an SEC All Sports Trophy Insta uses. Something we would never know we won unless Insta, Paco, or Ocala posted so.

Sad thing is Republicans never had a majority in the Senate. Trump is running off the RINOs and replacing them with Trump Republicans.

Wait till 2020 and 2022. Prune a few each time, we grow stronger each time.

Heard something on the news about them suddenly 'finding' 500,000 more votes in AZ. Incredible how that ALWAYS happens when dems need to catch up in a close race.

 

[Sunburnt Indian]

Just got update from AZ Sec of State. McSally leads by 15,930. Just before today's report McSally led by a little more than 16,000.

Remember when Al Franken beat Coleman by 350 votes when they found votes I. The back of a trunk?

 

[Sunburnt Indian]

The liberal Minnesota Supreme Court told the Dimms to count til they got the number they needed. When the court ordered the recount the world knew Franken would be seated.

 

[Sunburnt Indian]

10 PM Central update from AZ. McSally has upped her lead to 17,073.

2020 the GOP will add another Trump Republican to the Senate in Alabama when they throw Doug Jones out.

Yep. It will be interesting to see if Sessions goes back and takes that seat. If he does, it suggests that his resignation yestiddy was all a part of the plan.

 

[Sunburnt Indian]

Nothing new yet for today from AZ sec of State.

 

[Sunburnt Indian]

The Navajo Reservation and landlocked Hopi are counted and went for Sinema big. With their 65 percent unemployment rate, the Indians will never catch on. I know the Arizona and New Mexico Navajo.

Still last update from AZ was yesterday at 11:31 PM Central. With McSally's 17,073 vote lead she's a full 1 percent ahead of the Dimm, 49.4-48.4.

 

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

Nothing new yet for today from AZ sec of State.

Dems are still 'looking' for more votes.

 

[Sunburnt Indian]

AZ GOP sued to stop some mail ins. I don't know details.

 

[Sunburnt Indian]

AZ Sec of State update at 7:30 PM Central. Sinema now leads by 9610 votes. Over 99 percent counted.

Now that they have the number they want, they will magically 'find' the remaining votes.

Taliban Sinema comes up 28k votes just like that to take the lead

 

[Sunburnt Indian]

Arizona is lost. 400,000 left to be counted in heavy Dimm precincts. I don't see the gross in your face hanky panky we're seeing in Florida. I wish I was wrong.
