I'm really interested in how the House popular vote compares to the presidential popular vote, and, if they're significantly different, how that compares to generic ballot polls.

Given how this is the same party that basically let "Never Trump" Republicans soak up a bunch of money, resources and attention on their behalf, I think this is a product of incompetence and lack of self-awareness stemming from ideology. The Democratic leadership has been so consumed by a sincere belief in its own ideology (with all of its insider politics and pandering to corporate and conservative interests), that they are incapable of recognizing how obviously bad all of those actions were.

The MAGA meltdown, especially Trump's own, is absolutely glorious. I even get the Democrat meltdown (from the party's own incompetence as a side dish. Hopefully gridlock will screw up the military industrial complex.

There are literally Trump and Biden people in the counting rooms checking ballots and on camera doing it.

I see the party has asked them to deny the evidence of their eyes and ears, the final, most essential command.

In the courts Trump's legal team is mostly being laughed straight back out..

There two main claims are:
1. We don't have observers - yes you do the courts reply
2. The ballots are counted improperly - show me any evidence the courts reply

So they're being thrown out left right and centre.

Yeah, it won't. Party disagreement is just a show.

Still, drama! Anyone want popcorn?

They went too far to the social justice side of things. They alienated their moderate voters quite a bit.

Besides why did so many donate to Never Trump republicans anyway? Lincoln Project is far better

They need to fire the second person.


And should have paid for a non-disclosure agreement with the market research firm. Or if they couldn't afford it, have their own people do it.

I was disappointed with the Biden campaign going 'small target' on Healthcare. Particularly since Biden was in office when the ACA passed, and that's really quite popular now.
