TeamAudra Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) Soā¦as I was saying the other day, DeSantis doesnāt have to do a damn thing right now. Finish the book, and lay in the weeds, while Trump repeatedly shoots himself in the foot. When I said that, I had no idea that Florida would outperform the rest of the nation in such decisive fashion. He absolutely has to run now.Ā Edited November 9, 2022 by TeamAudra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamAudra Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) Very few of Trumpās āendorsementsā were consequential. In the vast majority of cases, he endorsed incumbents who were all but guaranteed victoryā¦like Rand Paul, and Marco Rubio. He endorsed Scott Jensen for MN Gov a couple weeks ago, but didnāt call him first. How do I know? Because Jensen said so himself in a radio interview the next day. This āendorsement recordā he keeps hyping is a joke. Ā Ā His handpicked candidates from the contested primaries didnāt fare as well. Ā Iām not going to spend 10 minutes listing them. You know who they are. But I will point this one out, since JD Vance is being touted as a success story:Ā Ā Mike DeWine was re-elected as OH Gov by a margin of 25.3%.Ā Meanwhile, JD Vanceās winning margin in the Senate race was 5.5%. Not to mention, the party (not Trump) had to spend a ridiculous amount of cash to drag Vance across the finish lineā¦cash that could have been used elsewhere.Ā Ā āToxic Trumpā is his new nickname. Keep him as far away from Georgia as possible for the next month.Ā Ā Ā Ā Edited November 10, 2022 by TeamAudra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneaky Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) The right only has itself to blame. They live in a bubble and think the rest of the country sees things as they do in their election denial. The fact of the matter is they are just a loud minority. When all was said and done Trump ended with a lower approval rating than Biden. You cant sell a stolen election with numbers like Trump had. Ā They also pushed too far on the abortion thing. Its really a strange choice considering how well they were doing up until the middle of this year that they rode that so hard. I think some conservatives really think its murder but the only justification is from religious backing. You cant mix politics and religion. Ā On the plus side they did prove they wont just vote any idiot, snake oil celebrity into office so progress...

Ā Technically the state was hit by a hurricane last night/ today so the Miami/Ft Lauderdale area specifically might have been distracted as well. Any lag in turnout, even in those counties, would have hurt DeSantis more that Crist, because he was getting more of the Election Day vote, even in the blue counties. Thatās why he won Palm Beach and a bunch of other blue counties. He was already leading in Miami-Dade by 8 points, with the early Ā vote, and grew that lead with Election Day vote. Turnout was a little lower in those two areas you referenced, compared to statewide, but only a few percent in each party. I donāt think the hurricane had much of an impact.Ā Ā Statewide, Republicans turned out 66%, Democrats only 52%, and many Democrats voted for DeSantis. Crist never had a chance of winning. The odds were literally zero from day one.Ā Ā EDIT: Palm Beach County was affected by the hurricane, and Democrats had higher turnout there than than they did statewide (55% vs 52%), yet it still went red.Ā Edited November 10, 2022 by TeamAudra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
