The worst possible result of the elections is that Nancy Pelosi will remain Speaker for at least another two years, which means incompetence at the lower chambers is guaranteed.
UGH. This is a problem with power in Congress. Even though you are scum bucket, through and through, you get elected because you bring home the bacon. Blech.
Texas will go red. About 90% of Bexar, Travis, Dallas, and Harris counties votes are in. Those are all deep blue large cities. The only large blue city left to add is El Paso. Most of the rest to be counted are rural red districts. Much of the panhandle and the energy production heavy area around Midland Odessa are yet to come in.
You know what would be funny? If Trump got the popular vote and Biden won the EC. Wonder how quick Dems tune on the EC would change....
Or because your ma and pa voted democrat and/or republican. It's pretty tiring because it means any empty suit can declare themselves to be one of the two parties and win as a result.
Somehow, I don't think the House will give her the gavel again. She's horrible, but she is the top DNC fundraiser so that may take priority to the Party.
It would almost be as funny as if a supreme court justice died on an election year for a GOP president. I wonder how quick the GOP would reverse themselves on that.
Their collective reaction would be along the lines of "B-B-But this is different. This time it is a reflection of the people!" That would be proclaimed with straight faces and nary a hint of any awareness of hypocrisy.
She allegedly made a deal to secure the speakership this term to not seek it again beyond 2022 but if Trump wins you can be assured they will oust her in the spring. https://www.rollcall.com/2018/12/12/pelosi-agrees-to-deal-limiting-her-speakership-to-4-years/
I'm a conservative libertarian living in Illinois. I vote libertarian on the presidential line. At a minimum, it gives some much needed validity to a third party.
May this be a reminder that polls mean absolutely nothing, diddly squat on Election Day. You're not even polling 5% of the State, let alone the country and people think it's credible?
There certainly is one winner in all these races, legalized pot in a number if states, one could say a landslide
