    This is going to be the ultimate takeaway from yesterday and, unfortunately, it's going to fuel the "steal", maybe forever.


    2020 Results

    Trump 74,224,000
    Biden 81,284,000


    2024 Results (with a lot of CA still to come in)

    Trump 71,585,000
    Harris 66,731,000


    By the time all the votes are counted, Trump will have come very close to repeating his support of 2020.

    Harris will be short of Biden's total by a LOT more than TEN MILLION VOTES.


    TEN ****ING MILLION VOTES. Yes, she is a terrible candidate. Yes, Trump took some of the black and a huge piece of the Latino vote. Yes, the Dems have few winning points to run on.

    But it's hard to explain that much apathy in any party. There's some, but you can't help to wonder how many of the 81 million 4 years ago were somehow manufactured. You just can't if your brain functions normally.


    The other big takeaway is the Latino vote. It continues to bleed into the GOP for a reason.

    The GOP now has a very large task. Codify the new party. They got the votes. They have the Senate and a good chance to have 54 seats and just maybe a fighting chance at keeping the Senate in '26 (it will be tough, but IF they start +4 they at least have a chance). I think it's going to be tough (and I actually do NOT think we keep the house when it's all said and done) to keep the House but if that does happen, the next 2 years must do 2 things.

    Close the border and fix immigration. That doesn't mean it's got to all be done, but you have to pass legislation that creates a path forward and it's got to be a successful path.

    And they have to bring people together. Not going to bring everyone together. But you've got to LEAD, positively.


    Trump is going to want to end zone dance with multiple celebration dances for winning the popular vote. He needs to restrain himself. That's a tall ask for him, as we all know. But the adults and common sense is now in control, and they MUST hit the ground running as adults.

    I hope the Vances and Viveks of the group are far more vocal and out front than the RFKs and Elons.


    It was a very good day for America. It was an EXCELLENT day for the Latino population and I hope to God that people pay attention to that. Now the work begins.


    DRAIN THE ****ING SWAMP. But do it intelligently.
    It's especially confusing that there are 15 million people who voted for Biden, but didn't feel the need to vote against Hitler.

      Excellent point. Dead men tell no tales, apparently.

                        He still hasn't gotten over the Shocks beating the chickens in the NCAA's.

                          And to a lesser degree, Trump's 2020 vote totals. There were clearly significant issues in 2020, a year when you'd have expected slightly lower turnout due to Covid.

                              With the vote scrutiny that is.
