What we learned is that higher turnout doesn't mean automatic democratic wins, that rural areas are getting redder even as cities get bluer, and the dynamics of the Senate and Electoral College means that the GOP isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

A CBS commentator (can't remember who) last night made a very interesting observation.

They said the Trump campaign banked on two principles:

1) Strength > Empathy
2) Economy > Covid-19

That was their strategy. And even if they lose, I'll argue it worked.

This country was built on might. Unlike the Canadians, we forcefully threw out the British. We forcefully took the land from the Natives. We forced an entire race to serve us. We hailed the Monroe Doctrine as a God given right. We forcefully tamed the wild west. We forcefully "saved" the world in WWI and WWII, solidifying ourselves as the world power. And when we did, we forcefully tried to nation build throughout the world.

It's in our culture. It's part of our nation's personality.

The last four years (in fact our entire nation's history) and this election should not be a surprise. And Trump knew that.
 
Is Peters coming back from that 40k deficit* against James? Looks like 60k fewer Democrats voted for him vs. Biden.
 
I heard that bit last night too, and it seems to be exactly their strategy. Trump is a bully so why would he embrace empathy in any way?

Crap, Haley Stevens lost her re-election bid in MI-11 and Slotkin might lose hers in MI-8 (down about 12,500 with 87% reporting).

I see Slotkin up by 15k with 95% in. Junge would have to take about 2/3 of the remaining vote. Which might be possible in outer Oakland county, but if these are absentees it should help Slotkin.

Stevens down 11k with 66% in. That’s doable with absentee.
 
I think this election means we can all stop blaming “red states” for the problem. There are reds among all of us in all of our states.

Good. I would like some joy today and Slotkin winning would be a small dose.
 
Florida isn't a Latino problem. Its a Cuban ex-pat problem, which has its own unique approach to political issues, and leans heavily Republican as a result.

Unfortunately the "weak" and anti-economy side won the Civil War.

That’s what AP is showing.

But they also seem a little slow to update everything. The senate race is continually showing a percent or less vote percentage than the presidential race, so it continually looks like 60k people didn’t vote for a senator (which I suppose is possible).
