Off-Topic What Happens To Ds If Rs Take Back House?

Or perhaps people liked the job he did through the pandemic and Florida attracted people who were attracted to a laissez faire open approach to things and were fleeing taxes and red tape on business.

Other states with any Rs with a pulse will look to "Florida model" to turn their states red...

I seem to remember an interesting story about that little known mayor. Happened shortly after that election.

You referencing when he reached across racial, socioeconomic lines to create what amounted to an ambitious yet short lived coalition of the willing in the comfort of a hotel room ??
 
Trump name calls Desantis and he wins decisively.

Trump endorses Dr. Oz and…?

Lesson learned?

Perhaps the only bright spot for Rs this cycle:

Texas and Florida have shrunk Ds national map. Ds had a very large majority of their "mainstream*" incumbents and challengers run this cycle and they won nearly every race against "toss up" bat shït crazy Rs. NC, thankfully, tilted back to rationality and went mostly R, but it is something to watch. Expect Ds to try to turn NC via Raleigh and Charlotte (areas now hated by rest of NC) much like Philly dominates Pennsylvania.

If Rs had run reasonable people, they probably take 20 more seats, maybe 30 away from Ds last night.

So Rs have to ask themselves this:

Do they want to focus on yet unproven election tampering (FOCUS ON BALLOT HARVESTING damnit!) or do they actually want to win races? Hard to set agendas when you are in the minority.

Also, Arizona is far more damaged for Rs than they thought. It will take an immediate and long term "Florida way" plan to turn the tide in the desert say 8-12 years from now. Rs in Phoenix have utterly failed in putting into place reasonable voter ID measures and it gas cost them amd will continue to do so. The "Florida Hispanics to Red" technique might also prove fruitful in Nevada (an emerging bellweather state).

Lastly, I believe last night's results shoved the nation much closer to either a bitterly negotiated or violent breaking up of the US.

Swept judicial races in NC again this go around. I’m guessing the map will look a little different in 24.

R’s or D’s?

Is OH up for redraw in 24 as well?

It’s a ton of stuff here in NC that could change. I’m talking redraw and a host of other election things like voter ID, accepting late ballots, etc. that have only been held back by activist judges.

Correct. Rs get reasonable voter integrity measures put into place and its going to be tough for Ds.

Also, don't run douche bags like Crawford and his clone from last night who flame out.

Find young Desantis clones and they win NC-13 by 20 pts.

Rs failure last night is probably worse than Carroll not giving Marshawn Lynch the ball at goaline.

I just hate seeing people say stupid things like gerrymandering is responsible for statewide races or that it's not fair that Montana's Senator has an equal say to California's because of population. I mean, it's basic civics. Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

My favorite are the "national popular vote" muppets.

Not a single clue as to why the system is setup to specifically prevent that. Those people have an IQ, at best, >70.
