So aside from never nominating another woman, the Dems apparently need to find a way to effect a culture shift in the coalition.

I don't know if black and Hispanic men made up 20M of the 2020 vote, but the pre-election polling was that there is where at least a chunk of the weakness was. Makes you think the 1st woman president is going to have to be a Republican.

If you assume from the drop in D votes for Harris that at least some % of Biden voters moved to Trump and Trump still got fewer votes than in 20, that means the fall off in maga land evidenced in the half empty rallies and the number of GOPer that came out for Harris was real. So the election was there for the taking but the Dems lost 20M Biden voters. Hard to fathom. The fear on the blue side was always that the Dems could duplicate 2020 but somehow Trump could win by energizing more white guys to come out, but that does not appear to be what happened at all. Most straight up conclusion is that Obama's democratic coalition had a lot more people who won't vote for a woman than won't vote for a POC. More misogynists than racists. I guess there is a certain logic to that on the blue side but it's still disappointing

if he starts to lose it are we more likely to get President Musk, President Vance, or President Jr, or even Ivanka/Kushner? They say they are out, but blood has always been thicker than water among Trumps.

this. The US has a much better chance of surviving Trump than Ukraine does.

Seems to be the case for parts of the Hispanic community

Gavin Newsome, if there is a '28

Looking pretty bleak. I guess you can't underestimate the US electorate.

Georgia has closed a little but running out of votes.

So much for Iowa

long spell with not much coming in.

if the votes in are from the wrong place that can happen....

Doesn't Atl always come in last? I thought I remember Warnock coming from behind for his win in 22

Could have used a Wings game to stay distracted till about 10p. I blame Denise.

last cycle I liked the web tracker at the NYT. Had every race down to the state legislatures - assuming they run it the same way again....

they can try, but the 'in line' rule has been upheld by the courts many times.

This stuff has already been traced back to Putin. I hope Biden has the energy to generate a worthwhile response to this. Giving the Ukrainians a free hand with their arsenal would be a good start.

'Melania' apparently won't take her big sunglasses off while inside as she appears with Trump today. You can't make it up....

I think/hope that is something everyone underestimates. Americans get bored with everything pretty quickly.

I suppose it wasn't that big a deal, but it can't have helped Cleveland's bargaining position that Smith was already all go to make the move. 🏃‍♂️💭

well played.

I've lost track. Are PA and MI enough?

and let's be real, most of that was probably laundered from russian oil proceeds.

Still, helping a GOP or Libertarian get on the board who only wants to be there to create disruption is pretty much cutting off your nose to spite your face if you support the University. Most of the non-Dems who have run for Regents seats in recent years have been wack jobs.

What leads you to believe Denise has any input to what Chris does with the Wings or Tigers? Not being facetious - serious question.
