Looks like sanity is starting to return to America.

Well the results do not show the RED Wave that many pundits had predicted.

But I am amazed that a guy who is for full term abortions, legalising hard drug use, opposes fracking, was a failure in his previous political positions, has never held a full time job, supported by his parents and had his sister purchase him a house can get elected.

Not only is it an insult to the USA Senate but a clear indication of just how fast the USA has come to the point of no return and its own demise.

If the house goes the same way Biden will be able to land the final fatal blows to all that was great in America and western civilization.

Shocking but what can we really expect from  scumbags.

Yep, the streets of Philedelphia.

Where zombies on animal tranquilizers fill the streets.

Blame Mrs Pankhurst. The Republicans continue to blow it with women. This may also sink Trump’s re-election campaign.

Personally I think it’s a good thing. A big Republican wave would have led to excesses and the big prize is 2024. It’s also elevated de Santis as the likely Republican leader and his message of freedom will resonate well if it’s cleverly packaged.

The Republicans need a clear out of the MAGA politicians.

The under-30 age group voted unanimously for Democrats, which means that Republicans need to adapt their agenda to appeal to a broader group of people. Every year, this segment will become a larger percentage of the majority. In 10 years' time, they will make up the majority of voters. 

Right-wing politicians campaign on low taxes, but only the richest minority benefit from this policy. Reduce income tax if they want to reduce tax instead of nonsense like capital gains- and charge everyone a fixed % of tax, and it will appeal to a much larger base 

Trump will probably be indicted in a few weeks' time. His endorsements are turning into the death kiss, so he has decreasing leverage over the right-wing politicians.

Republican politicians will start to turn on Trump as he has no connection with generation Z and minimal connection with the middle class- especially women. 

Trump's best hope was for a house and senate win as that might have been able to slow legal proceedings against him down.

Now, he will probably be thrown to the wolves. It is just the crazies that are still part of the cult of Trump.

Trump in terms of results had an excellent presidency. If he was re-elected the US and the world would be much better off now…and I don’t believe Ukraine would have happened. 

But in my view he is already too old even if he is much more together than Biden. But 45% of the country, and a much higher % of women won’t vote for him. That’s too many votes to give away.

Fair enough, it’s an opinion. But beyond the touchy/feely stuff it’s hard to find anything that’s better than 2 years ago.

"....it’s hard to find anything that’s better than 2 years ago."

Exactly...I can't understand why people can't see this.
