Him going down and taking the Republican Party down with him is the best possible outcome here. |

My analysis - there actually was a red wave but it failed to account for population shifts.
In 2020 Dems won house popular vote 50.8-47.7. D+3 electorate. Final tallies aren't in yet but currently R's are winning popular House vote 52.3-45.7 per CNN. R+6 electorate- is the 10 pt swing many have been projecting. HOWEVER.. Post covid, R's have been flocking to the major "red" states like TX and FL, leading to over performance in those areas (ie DeSantis by 20 when he was expecting to win by 10) but left the previous state more "purple", allowing Dems to win in those areas. |
| Not a red wave, a ripple really. |
Interesting take! |
PP here- to add- Bottom line- that pesky electoral college saved Dems butts this year. I suspect we won't hear much from them about eliminating it in the upcoming years. |
Let’s not forget how redistributing played into this. https://www.propublica.org/article/ron-desantis-florida-redistricting-map-scheme https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/redistricting-2022-maps/ |
You apparently don’t know what the electoral college is. |
What on earth makes you think Republicans are fleeing to Texas and Florida? Is there some evidence that the population gains there have a political leaning? |
Look dude it’s early. |
+1 I’m embarrassed for PP!! Omg! |
NP. There were tons of articles about that during peak pandemic. |
| Not looking good for dummy Boebert!!!! |
| We need to get Florida black and play in the next two years or getting the boats we need for the presidency will be nonexistent |
In PP’s defense, their theory of the election results if true WOULD make electoral college results better for Dems in a presidential election year |
