Not on the list, but Romney’s set is up for election because he was too much of a coward to actually run again.
Finally we get rid of this milquetoast loser jackass.
If only McConnell, Cornyn, Graham and Murkowski would follow him.
Ted Cruz is facing a big challenge in Texas.
A close race does not present a challenge. A five point lead by Allred would be a challenge.
Every year it’s, “Ted Cruz is facing a big challenge in Texas!” Every year, it isn’t even close. It’s like Lucy and Charlie Brown.
*Every 6 years, I should say.
Yeah its stupid. He’s won by 10+ points again.
Why no Arizona senate?
Certainly worth a look see, as is NM 2nd CD.
Jim Justice wins West Virginia.
Finally we don’t have to put up with that snake Manchin any more.
It looks like Sherrod Brown is toast in Ohio, a great pickup and a giant loser jackass Democrat gone.
That idiot Hogan has officially lost in Maryland.
It was stupid to think he had the slightest chance there to begin with, but McConnell decided to pour money into it rather than other actual close races because Hogan was going to be a reliable RINO for him.
Retiring his worthless RINO ass isn’t a bad 2nd choice.
Cinema won his seat in Congress
That worm, traitor
If Trump
Wins, something has to be done about him
No that was Vindman
I swear
House is going to be even tighter than it was. GOP needs a good amount of luck, ATM.
CNN has just reported that the fix is in in Pennsylvania, With 87% of the vote counted Trump is up by 2.5%.
However, Philadelphia is just starting to count “hundreds of thousands” of mail-in” ballots, says CNN.
This explains why nobody has called the state yet. They’ve just figured out how much they need to cheat to win.
Hm. Republicans control the Senate. I wonder if the Dems will remember when they declared that even if the Republicans brought impeachment charges against Biden, the Dem-run Senate did not have to take them up.
The question is, will the R’s rememeber that?
If Trump wins and the Reps control the Senate, then it’s time to fill all the empty judicial appointments. The Federalist Society can supply a list of nominees who have already been vetted.
Maybe Sotomayor will retire? That would make some Dems’ heads explode, since they tried to get her to retire while Biden was in charge.
The Dems will resume their antics from 8 years ago, demanding 30 hours’ debate per nominee, even if they have nothing to say about them.
Then the majority leader should require them to sit there in the Senate chamber for that 30 hours.
Man, I hope GOP keeps control of the House. Imagine what great things President Trump could accomplish, with control of Congress. Trump unleashed.
If the Dems get control of the House, they’ll waste all their time trying to impeach Trump and any other Republicans. That will help to keep them busy. The Senate just won’t bother with any impeachments they send over.
At this point there are still 4 more Senate races that have not been called and all of them have the R in the lead.
Sorry, that was 5, not 4. Arizona looks to be lost though, but MT, MI, WI and PA look pretty solid, over a point lead each. NV is a bit closer and communist has been gaining.
I hope Repubs win it all.
