I might go look for it tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure I was making posts in 2019 where I said that Trump's strategy of pouring gas on a red hot economy was going to eventually lead to inflation and a worse than necessary recession and that the next elected president would get blamed for it. Looks like that's exactly what happened tonight. I'm happy Trump got voted out, but he escaped responsibility for his actions, including intimidating the Fed chair to not increase interest rates during his administration, and either he or DeSantis will likely be our next President. The recession will be ending at that time, because that's how this cyclic process works (it has almost nothing to do with who the sitting President of the U.S. is) so a bunch of simple idiots will believe that Republicans are good for the economy much the same way simple idiots thought that Bill Clinton was some sort of economic genius who fixed things when his actual personal motto was "It's all 'bout dat *****, stupid" (slang for cat).

Re bolded: I believe that is what many people saw and expected.

First term midterm president usually has a lot of house seats lost. Doesn't look like that is happening tonight. 64 uncalled house races according to Yahoo right now, Rs have gone +6. Previous first term midterm elections had Trump Rs lose 40, Obama's Ds lose 63, George Bush Rs gain 8 (unique circumstances that election), Clinton Ds lose 52, Bush Rs lose 8, Reagan Rs lose 26, Carter Ds lose 15. List goes on.

House may flip, though. I'm seeing 218-217 maybe? 6 would be enough to flip house, but I doubt 218-217 is what Rs wanted.

My hot take is that R’s would have really cleaned up but that Trump actually held them back with his endorsement of lesser candidates and those that aren’t fit for public office coming out of the woodwork.

If I’m someone like McCarthy or McConnell, I see a ton of strings being pulled to make Desantis the guy in 2024. They’re calculating enough to know that you can only be so polarizing a second time around.
 
I thought it was a great night. It looks like and I hope congress is split. If the Republicans take the house by a small margin, then hopefully they would realize it would be political suicide to have revenge hearings towards people on the left. It would also create the right to have a small voice and can have a little push back.

If they start on the pointless hearings then they deserve to loose in the next election.

I’m happy Oz and Boebert lost. It shows that people will vote out the fringe. I’m pumped that DeSantis is still my Governor. Just a good overall night.

Then right after making that insanely douchey statement he quickly made sure to play the victim by saying that if repuclicans win he wont get credit he deserves and if they lose he will get the blame he doesnt deserve.
Poor little trump.

Textbook psychopath and narcissist. Amazing to see such a blatant and clear example of these kinds of mental issues in such a public figure. He couldn't exhibit more signs of these things if he had all of the signs written on cue cards and acted them out one by one. Amazing.

Boebert is still predicted to win. Barf.

Boebert's race is too close to call I believe. I know she's behind, but still some outstanding vote so she could still pull it out. Much closer race than anyone thought though.

Oz was a classic example of Trump backing the wrong guy in the primary. Similar to Walker, Trump is too drawn to celebrities in thinking that because they're known, people will vote for them on that alone when the reality is that they also come with baggage. Walker could very well still win the runoff in December, but both seats are ones that might be looked back on as missed opportunities.

I think it's a mistake if the House takes up endless debate the next two years on Biden investigations - much like how D's went after Trump kids, most Americans don't give a **** about Hunter Biden. People care about the price of groceries, gas and an economic recession that greatly affects >90% of Americans. Whichever party can control and deliver the economic narrative will come out on top.
