Decades-old GOP Winning Streaks Are Suddenly at Risk

... Decades-old GOP Winning Streaks Are Suddenly at Risk ...

At risk? Yup.

But still within the margin of error, i.e., too close to tell, for many polls? Also, yup.

Every GOPer who wins this November will call theirs 'an overwhelming, resounding victory for our party and President" whether they win by 3 votes or 30,000 and every race lost of a MAGA GOPer will be declared 'stolen, rigged, illegitimate and in need of an immediate recount' whether they lose by 3 votes or 30,000. My fervent hope is that so many GOPers are defeated by numbers so wide that automatic recounts are not invoked. Make them spend Trump's retirement millions on recounts that will move a handful of votes, if that many.

IN THE MEANTIME, I VOTE TO RELEASE THE TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES...
