Fox News suffers ratings drop on bleak election night for Republicans

With an average viewer age of 69 (apt since they screw themselves), their older viewers probably ate their soup and went to bed.

TEAR DOWN THE BALLROOM!!!!!!!!

Make Piggy Squeal!!!!!!!!!!!

When Trump ended his presser in the uncompleted ballroom with "now, watch this beam go up," I was immediately reminded of when George W Bush was asked about the Iraq War and said, "now, watch this drive."

Trump will be a high ranking member with W in "The Losers Hall of Fame."

The S&P 500 has now erased -$2.2 trillion over the last 55 minutes. ...

Elon Musk is no longer a trillionaire. He's lost approx. $200 billion of net worth due to the tech crash.

The only people who'll be happy to see Musk are the legions of lawyers he's going to need as he tries to explain DOGE and paying $0 in income tax (despite taking untold billions from our Treasury every year) to investigative committees.

I look at Tesla's stock price a couple times a week and shake my head over how he gets away with promising shareholders the moon - promising everything is "coming soon" but never does. At a ridiculous 337-1 PE ratio, it's a sucker trade for investors.

Nice to see you :-)

Betcha you feel better today than you did before the election!

An apt metaphor of Trump's new reality

PS - Neither Jolly nor Nixon (D Sen candidate) had enough money to run TV ads.

They came *THAT* close to winning anyway. I'd bet the gov mansion flips to Dems in 2030.

I'm seeing the same excuses and minimization of the utter defeat of Republicans in posts among my Republican friends and acquaintances on social media. It's obvious they're getting it from the right wing media and blogosphere.

They just don't get it. This isn't a typical swing from one party to the next. It is a sweeping repudiation of Trump and Republicans who've done absolutely nothing to help and everything to hurt all but the wealthiest. Republicans have led America into a new Gilded Age. All by themselves.

Corruption was the #1 issue for voters. Americans are sick of the cruelty (ICE), inequality, corruption, and all the other bullschitt.

She's young and blonde.

Therefore qualified in Trump world.

Johnson has all the charisma of a mortician.

He should take a cue from The Godfather II and do a living version of what Tom Hagen suggested when he visited Frank Pentangeli (mob govt witness) in prison and suggests Pentangeli do the "honorable thing" and kill himself.

In Johnson's case, pack his bags, head back to LA, go to mortician school, and disappear from public life.

Florida remains the last bastion of Republicans, but if Dems put money into it in 2028, they could be the last to return to at least swing state status.

"Byron Donalds, the Republican governor-elect, edged out David Jolly, the Democratic nominee, by about one percentage point " or about 108,000 votes out of more than 8.2 million cast. Mr. Donalds outspent Mr. Jolly by about $150 million.

In contrast, in 2022, Mr. DeSantis, who is term limited, won re-election by nearly 20 points and Senator Marco Rubio by 16 percentage points. Two years ago, President Trump won his adopted home state by 13 percentage points."

Florida's gerrymander scheme didn't work out either. Dems won 3 of the 4 newly drawn districts and beat Trump's 2024 margin of victory in them by 15-30 points.

Former California Republican Governor Pete Wilson heavily championed California's 1994 Proposition 187, a ballot initiative designed to deny public services including non-emergency healthcare, public education, and social services"to undocumented immigrants.

That turned California forever blue.

TX may very well follow suit. Hell, the only remaining Republican in TX is Ted Cruz. And probably not for long ...

California flipped forever blue over immigration.

Some are saying the same thing is happening in Texas.

Republicans blew it. All they've accomplished (except for their donor class) is leave the middle class in a heap.

ICE raids won't stop and Trump'll still be president during the 2028 elections.

In 2028, America will again vote like Trump's on the ballot. It won't be pretty for the GOP.

PS - they lost by getting their ever lovin' azzes kicked!

BTW, not a single Dem running for reelection lost their race.

Trump said, "vote like I'm on the ballot." America did. Resoundingly!

I was surprised to see "corruption" was the #1 issue according to voters.

Johnson should at the very least do the honorable thing and resign his seat

And the day after crushing losses?

A tour of the WH ballroom site.

He's still paying for it, personally as promised in the beginning, right?

Forgot *face palm*.

Then, it was private individuals who're going to pay for it.

Now he wants us taxpayers to pay for it.

"Trump calls Abbott a Rino After Texas Flips"

HA ... HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Another Boaz vote wasted, though. Such a shame.

BOZO has a Dem representative as of the January 3rd swearing in ...

Before last night, NC had 10 Rs and 4 D U.S. reps.

NOW, Ds have 10, Rs have 4, a Dem US Senate seat, and Dem controlled state house.

All thanks to right wing idiots like BOAZ. America doesn't want what he and his ilk are selling.

Abbott falls down stairs. Film at 11.

Let's send him a sympathy gift; a CD of "You'll Never Walk Alone." And a silicon pile of dog ------.

-Remove ALL private funding of elections.

We had campaign reform - McCain-Feingold - Republicans overturned it to open the gates for Super PACs, and spent untold millions to push Citizen's United down America's throat.

If like last night the majority of us say "Hell no!" we can return to sanity.

Paxton was only the most recent candidate whose campaign was primarily financed by one wealthy man.

J D Vance's Ohio senate campaign was bought and paid for by Peter Thiel, another tech bro.

When America returns to ethical campaign financing, things can start moving forward again.

Trump did build a wall in TX. A BIG BLUE WALL in the Rio Grande Valley.

Talarico flipped one district Trump won in 2024 by 72 points!

About Trump's arch:

Lauren Boebert lost in CO.

She can always give hand jobs for $10 a pop ...

Oh, and the NC state house flipped too!

Looks like BOZO has a Dem rep now in NC.

NC Republicans won only FOUR of NC's 14 U.S. house seats!

Now we need to brace ourselves... for the clowns' incessant whining about how long it's taking some Dem to repair what they broke.

Of course he'll whine. It's what he does.

Trump's a laughingstock now.

I'll be curious to see how low his approval rating will go. Methinks it isn't near the bottom yet.
