Work from home...no one is leaving anymore and if they are...they are not going to Chicago.  Wisconsin natives hate the city of big huge giant dongs (or broad shoulders)

 

And, do you know NEW trump voters?  not Joe haters...NEW Trump voters.  There is a difference. 

What? This isn't a short term trend. Young worker migration to cities isn't a recent trend or an American phenomenon.

 

It's a multidecade event of more and more people moving to cities, and it's happening worldwide. The difference now is just that those voters tend to be educated and as such vote for Democrats. It's why Texas is turning blue and why Ohio is turning red. 

 

Meanwhile, the GOP is finding many new voters. Non educated minorities are moving towards the GOP in droves, the gap between education levels is leaning to even more older non educated white voters to vote for Republicans. This phenomenon is accelerating.

Until ranked choice happens (it won't...), holding our noses and voting for the better of two unideal choices is probably our new normal.

 

God sure did bless this place...

This is going to be the case for the rest of our lives.

 

Lastly, to the crowd who want Democrats to run a Biden alternative, polling suggests Biden would beat every other candidate in a head to head primary. This despite only 37% of Democrats wanting Biden to run again. Democrats are a weird coalition of voting groups that are too different from each other, which hurts their candidates approval ratings and which candidates can emerge from a primary victorious.

This sure sounds like Hogan is planning a 3rd party run under the No Labels banner.  Perhaps him and Manchin.

What is

[TGHusker]

Well, IF Gov Youngkin of Va had any presidential aspirations,  they were  shot down last night.  Some frustrated big donors were looking for him to be a white knight.  His metal got tarnished last night.

 

With Va, Ohio and other previous elections, perhaps voters are voicing their displeasure of the GOP/MAGA overreach. They are tired of MAGA stupidity and neanderthal like policies by the GOP as a whole.   It is a long way to Nov 2024 but the GOP must right its ship if it hopes to avoid a blue wave in the House and Senate races - the blue wave that failed to materialize in 2022.

Quote

 

At his Hialeah rally, Trump made passing reference to the debate across town, saying no one was watching it.

Later, he compared his rally to the debate: “I’m standing in front of tens of thousands of people right now and it’s on television. That’s a lot harder to do than a debate.”

The stadium where he was speaking has a capacity of 5,200 people and was not full Wednesday.

Again, GOP voters have the excuse of multiple pending lawsuits and Trump fatigue as they seek a non-MAGA future for the party. But given the chance to choose a sane alternate in what should be a wide-open Presidential primary, there are a handful of candidates in the single digits, most of them catering blatantly to the MAGA faction. Even with a two year lead time, GOP voters barely even flirted with a Trump alternative and more often threatened any candidate who dared challenge him. 

 

The takeaway from Tuesday night's defeats was unsurprising: GOP mouthpieces declared that the Republican candidates had not been MAGA enough.

Bingo.

 

America has to accept that huge swaths of the voting public actively want moronic GOP leadership that reflects their own desires as voters.

In case you wanted to check in on the rally for the guy who's the preferred candidate of Republicans.

Remember when conservatives hated Rosanne for butchering the national anthem and following with an "up your a$$" hand gesture?
