The Biggest Losers

The biggest losers last night:

3. Trafalgar Polling. Their “secret sauce” seems to have hit its shelf date with velocity. Utterly useless.

2. Minnesota taxpayers – as in, the ones that actually pay taxes.

And the #1 loser last night: Donald Trump’s endorsement and coattails. From Keri Lake to Don Bolduc to Scott Jensen, they fared terribly. There were exceptions – but JD Vance likely needed the “R” rather than the “T” behind his name in Ohio.

So congrats, Democrats.

You have a senile president, a thin lead in the Senate, a looming recession, inflation that your policies stand every chance of turning into hyperinflation, and an election built largely on dissatisfied young people who your policies aren’t going to help beyond a few transient payoffs.

Good luck with that.

  1. Meanwhile, another 5 million 75 IQ Guatamexidorians will cross the border and apply for welfare and Medicaid.

    Quality of candidate matters and Pollster quality matters. Can you admit you shouldn’t have included some partisan polls with questionable methodologies? Or at least discounted them more?

    Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug.

    He did. Are you still going to night school to learn reading comprehension?

  4. Avoiding a bad election result while the economy struggles badly is a clear win. Biden is King today.

    Wait, the economy’s struggling?

    Oh, got it. Election’s over, no need to bullshit the voters anymore.

  5. Lessee…our resident bigot asks me what I think of Zelensky with that Oscar. I must confess that I was surprised Penn had one to give, as the only thing I can remember about him is how he clocked the photographer when he was with Madonna back in the 1980s. You could say I’m a bit ambivalent about the guy and most modern movies in general.

    Regarding the election, I think the big thing is that there was a large group of Democratic voters out there who were by and large not found by pollsters, and it is my hunch that a great portion of them are young people, male and female, who were motivated by Dobbs, and they were not reassured by Republicans like Jensen and Birk as they said they’d end abortion even for those who were raped. Then you’ve got Jensen’s COVID gadfly positions and the like.

    Not what you want if you want to reach out to people in the middle, really, and overall, my thought is that the GOP needs to remember Woody Hayes and “3 yards and a cloud of dust.” Moderate proposals to incrementally move the state to the right, shared in print (I received very few mailers this year) as well as on radio and TV (I don’t watch much TV) by people without too many huge skeletons in their closets. Not “ban abortion altogether now!”, but “it’s unfair to tax pro-life people to fund abortion clinics”. That kind of thing can get traction.

    Put gently, Democrats can get away with putting stroke victims, anti-Semites, and terrorist endorsers on the ballot. Republicans cannot. We may as well learn our lessons and see where we can go.

  6. I’m sorry Bikebubble. I forget about your special needs.

    We need pictures, don’t we?

    Teh Russhians are raping all the women, killing all the children, bombing all the hospitals, murdering all the kitties and puppies!

    And here’s your hero, Zelensky; the defender of buttsex, child trafficking and money laundering, holding Sean Penn’s fucking Oscar. Sean’s there too, in a rumbled tee shirt, holding the special hero’s medal one gets for sharing an Oscar with Zelensky…see him there, Mr. Bubble?

    This is the clown show we are supporting with billions of dollars, in one picture, Mr. Bubble. Look at the guy in the back ground; he gets it. Can you imagine the discussion they had after Sean Penn was escorted back to his hotel suite?

    I didn’t expect you to have an epiphany, and suddenly see what a sucker you are. But I’m not gonna lie, your inane response sets the bar for witless knobs to a level you own all to yourself.

  7. Word for Swiftee of the day is “projection”. Just saying.

    And I’m sure all those pictures of devastation in Kyiv, Mariupol, Kharkiv, and the like are faked. Just like the moon landing, I guess. If you want truth in reporting, gotta go to rt.com and pravda.ru, right, Swiftee?

    For my part, I’m more bothered by an illegal war waged significantly on civilians than I am by the apparent fact that Ukraine may be more lenient on homosexuals than is Russia. Call me weird that way. I’m also bothered that tens of thousands of soldiers on each side are dying for Vatnika Putina’s ego trip.

  8. The only thing I project is my intellect, Mr. Bubble.

    And I always wear my anti-bullshit shades…they’re in Wayfarer frames so I look good at night, too.

  9. Also, the faggots and trannies appreciate your support, Mr. Bubble….but your grandkids? Probably not.

  10. More importantly, the Ukrainian kids and grandkids who do not need to suffer repression under Soviet/Russian rule will be thankful, Swiftee. Congratulations once again on your echoing of useful idiots like Jimmy Carter in your views of the Soviet resurgence.

    And a quick reminder; the Russian newscaster who was shamed after endorsing nuking Ukrainian cities is himself homosexual. I wonder if Alina Kabaeva knows something about Vatnika Putina that contradicts his public image.
