I think he's already got some but will have to take the DT initials off of them.

My question about the speaker earlier was basically, does the speaker have to come from the party that controls the House? If the majority party can't come to a consensus on the vote and the minority part does, then does the minority candidate become speaker?

Question on how you determine ththe speaker of the house. Is it a simple majority or is it determined by the party in charge? Like could we see, even if extremely unlikely, that a 220 GOP majority has 5 nutjobs who hold out and Pelosi is elected?

I would almost prefer that to a D house.

Tudor ain’t conceding. Republicans now think you should count every vote instead of stopping at midnight.

There was a very interesting thread tonight about trump vs Desantis.

Normal off season program sounds like a trumped up version of “eating donuts and watching Netflix ”. I know. They work hard in the off season now.

Help me out with tweets later by giving context. Like if someone is doing better or worse than expected. I can’t keep track of all the districts. I won’t know if “CA-03” is a red or blue district.

I have a lot of friends, close friends, who are into that. It is what it is. I think there’s a difference too in liking something on twitter vs blasting it.

I voted all D but not on purpose. Just ended up that way. Wasn’t planning on voting for Rashida but did it anyway. Her opponent was all over Dearborn because of the school book thing trying to convince Muslims to vote for him. I try telling them that 5 years ago the republicans wanted to ban them.

Let’s just say he’s a fan of someone who, hat tip to @Edman85looks like Lee Corso.

Scott won in 2018 by 10K votes. Desantis won by 33K. i expect margins 10 times that tonight.

My comment was directed towards the national elections not MIchigan. I think all 3 proposals pass and our 3 gals win easily.

I think that too. Some are going to need to be talked down from the ledge. I don’t see any positive with a house with 220 R’svs a 250 R’s.

Yes I agree that term limits in MI hasn’t been good. It takes good people out of jobs under the guise of the preventing the generational incumbent. But those those people know the system. Right now there’s no accountability because even if they do a fine job they are done. It’s about lining up their next gig. By opening it up you invite more kooks to sneak in. we have the mechanism to vote people out and of voters won’t do that then they deserve what they get. But don’t prevent quality people that people want from serving because of populism.

I would put gehringer over Greenberg. And Miggy.

I have not. Can you use the Roku channel if you do not have a Roku? He produced it so I would expect it to be pretty accurate.

Dusty Baker smoked a joint with Jimi Hendrix on a street in San Fran and was on deck when Henry Aaron hit 715. Now he’s a world champ.

That’s how I see it. The polls aren’t telling me anything other than probably a red house and very close senate. I think PA flips and the others stand Pat. Is there a current D other than GA and AZ that’s in the conversation of flipping? I just don’t see any punditry value in adding disclaimers to everything. Elections are held once. It’s not like baseball where we use data to show how a person will likely perform over a period of time. That’s useful. But in the context of a single at bat it isn’t. That’s what election night is. Someone just give me an opinion on what they think will happen.

So is it the consensus here that it’s not going to be red? I am assuming a red house for sure.

He wants to turn it into what truth social and Parler wanted to be. Drive out all the normal people and the nuts can talk among themselves. The house is already built.

I was wondering if that was a culprit. I bet there could be some merit.
