From Life, Liberty, and Levin, Mark takes a few minutes for post-election analysis to discuss the math behind the 2022 Midterms and the unlikelihood of a sweeping red wave. He also touches on who was predicting it, who they protected, who they threw under the bus, and why 2024 is the year to watch.
2022 midterms
A Few Thoughts on Republican’s Electile Dysfunction
Typically, after an election and the bigger it is, the more likely, things will slow down a bit. I hinted at this here. The days after, win or lose, are for the election hangover, a few days in detox, or a week of me-time.
A Quick Response to Committeman Ager’s Thoughts
There is a post up with NHGOP Committeeman Chris Ager’s thoughts about the 2022 election. A quick response. First, stop sugarcoating it.
Josh Hawley Gets It … NH-Republicans Still Don’t
Josh Hawley spoke with Real Clear Politics and laid the blame for the disastrous 2022 midterms … with respect to the Senate … exactly where it belongs: WITH MITCH MCCONNELL.
Emperor Sununu’s “Coattails” Were Just Long Enough to Cover Himself.
A few days before Election Week, Papa Sununu was on Newsmax. Grinning from ear to ear, he announced that “the governor” (I guess saying saying “my son” might sound less than objective) was going to win by 12-15 points and “pull all three state-wide candidates across the finish line.”
Friday Meme Overflow-Overflow
To all those who are sending in memes, thank you! Keep them coming please, as it helps me gather weaponry to fight the Left. Please do share this post, and if you share an individual meme, consider mentioning you saw it on the Grok!
The Mighty Sun-King Sununu Is … In Reality … An Obedient Little Puppy-Dog
So the GOP Establishment has gone into overdrive, blaming Trump for the debacle they made out of the 2022 elections. Yeah, right … it was Trump’s fault that the RNC and other GOP infrastructure just sat on their hands while Democrats built insurmountable leads during “early voting,”
The Real Reason There Was No Red Wave … COVID
I have already posted my analysis of the debacle that the 2022 midterms were for Republicans in New Hampshire. What follows applies not to New Hampshire, but to other States:
NH House: Republicans 203 Democrats 197 – But Will It Hold Up?
As of this morning, Republicans retain their majority in the State House. Sununu won his fourth term, the Executive Council is 4-1 Republican, and the State Senate looks like it will be Republicans 14-10. The State House, with 400 seats, is still technically a toss-up.
The Definitive 2022-Election Postmortem … New Hampshire Is BLUE Hampshire
I know many of you are still clinging … desperately … to the belief that New Hampshire is a Purple State, and that there are even still some diehards who would say a Red State. But it is time for you bitter-clingers to admit what is plain to see.
Trying to Make Sense of a Confused Electorate
It’s the day after. This election cycle was one of the most divisive, negative spectacles I have ever witnessed. The results show how polarized we are but also how confused. Both parties were anticipating or braced for a sea change in Washington. They got a change, but not what was expected.
A Few Quick After-Action Election Thoughts
In a nutshell, TINVOWOOT. We’re seeing the first pebbles trickle down in the leading herald of the coming avalanche resulting in the American center falling apart:
No Time to Rest, On To 2024
The Midterms are behind us, and you would like a break from divisive politics. You want a hiatus from the barrage of negative political ads interrupting your favorite prime-time show, but I hate to tell you, you may not have your wish granted.
Republicans to Waiter – “Um, Excuse Me, This Doesn’t Look Right. I Ordered the Red Wave.”
Americans are waking up with a Midterm election hangover to discover that things are different than what many of them (at least on the Right) imagined.
Meme Overflow
As promised in the last Monday Memes, I have an overflow. My meme cup runneth over. Almost certain about a Friday Overflow-Overflow. We’ll see.
Now, let the mayhem, mockery, and ridicule resume:
Joe: “This is Deadly Earnest, Man”
Joe Biden went to Florida, where Democrats have no chance of winning the Governor or Senator seats on the ballot, and told a group of senior citizens that “this ain’t your daddy’s Republican Party. This is deadly earnest, man.”
MONDAY MEMES
They’re flying so thick and fast it is amazing. And take heart – there will be a Meme Overflow – also with election memes last-minute – and I will back-edit to include the link. And almost certainly be a Friday Meme Overflow-Overflow. Last week’s Meme Overflow-Overflow here.
The Latest Jobs Report Is a Potemkin Village Erected to Help Democrats Avoid Catastrophic Losses on Tuesday.
Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge has an analysis of the latest jobs report from DoL. A report that could under no circumstances look bad on top of every other terrible thing Democrats have done to the economy. So, it didn’t look bad, it almost glowed, but according to Durden, it looks like a lie.
NH Democrats Already Pushing Massive Gun Control Ahead of Midterms
Legislative Service Requests (LSRs) are “filings made by a legislator for a proposed bill and submitted to the Office of Legislative Services to have a bill drafted.” These LSRs began being filed in early September and there are many that can now be viewed on the general court website.
