The Conservative Cave

I see predictions that Jack and Bozo will win, and Krusty will lose.

Well, Krusty won too; I didn't expect this joke to get transmogrified into a prediction.

As for the disappointing outcome, BTDTGTTS, one more in the drawer.

Depending on how much time the Dems burn with shampeachments, Trump's veto pen with need ink refills, and the Dems will (or have) begin looking into shampeaching Trump for his vetoes. How well the flurry of shampeachments will play in 2028 could be interesting, and hatred tends to blind people to potential consequences of their hate-driven actions..

Brown in Ohio was a hard one to beat. If they ran just about anyone else, they would have lost.

Far as Texas, yes migration from Cal did play into it. But Dems saw big gains in the Hispanic vote in Texas.

I think some of thee problem in Texas is from all the liberals from California who moved there, just like here in Florida we have all the dems who moved here from the north east to escape t he hell holes they created in their states.

Trump won Texas by double-digits in 2024. I have to think the impact of Californians moving in was minimal at most.

Looking over the info.

Might hold Alaska, but right now it's by the finger nail. (Singular) The Dan J trick is minimal, 3,447 votes, but the difference right now is less than 800 votes.

Texas is concerning. Hate to say it but Paxton clearly wasn't the better choice. John Cornyn was the safer bet. Also, every single district in Texas shifted Blue, not one red.

But looking over vote shift maps. States that showed some shift red in any district were almost entirely Liberal states while all Red states showed little if any. The red shift from 2024 undone. Maine showed the most promise with Red shift.

Good read on my point above

Edit

Looking at Texas more, Talarico has currently 5,445,121 votes, Harris in 2024 got 4,835,250. Right now the numbers are lining up almost flipped.

Paxton was a flawed candidate, but the overall political climate was a bigger factor, the one that cost Republicans Ohio, and nearly cost them Florida.

What's interesting in this graph, Feb. 28th was the start of the Iran conflict. You can see the impact it had on the elections.
