That's the metaphor you want. A plane crashing and burning, not a missile impacting a target.

Awesome.
 
Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen on Tuesday gave an analysis of Republicans’ performance in the election that sounded more like a death knell. (Watch the video below.)

Thiessen, a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, now a Washington Post columnist, decried the absence of the predicted “red wave” and called the night an “absolute disaster” for the GOP.

I so remember the night Karl Rove was at the chaulk board tallying up votes from Florida, when someone told him that Florida had went for Obama......Fox Noise now is doing its best as USUAL TO BACK TRACK the Red Wave by hyping up those that won on the GOP ticket......its like watching a wounded puppy...so sad to watch and I go their for laughs only!!
 
Partially true, although the House will be by a thread and the Senate is still undecided

However, they didn’t get their landslide victory even though the the sitting President has a low forty percent approval rating, and the issues of crime plus inflation were front and center, which could mean their message isn’t appealing to independents, which should make them apprehensive going into the meet two years and 2024

Yep, this was the midterm where Republicans should have cleaned our clocks. Instead, under Biden and Pelosi, the Dems had the best first midterm performance under any president in 20 years.
 
Hello Nordberg,

The party of the wealthy and corporations won the house and senate. That is a disaster.

Neither is actually decided yet.

As for wealth, it almost always wins because corruption is legal.

We need to fix that.

We begin by making corruption a local issue.

Put local non-partisan candidates on the spot. Ask them to make city and county laws against corruption. After we get enough local ordinances then it can be taken to the State level, and finally federal. That's how women got the right to vote. And that is how we will fix American politics.

The Republicans will still control the House and the odds favor them controlling the Senate, but after all the hype of a Red Wave, I can see why they think it's a disaster.

Part of the problem is that all of Trump's wacky candidates had subpar quality as candidates. Even Mitch McConnell recognized the problem last August:

McConnell says Republicans may not win Senate control, citing 'candidate quality'
"I think there’s probably a greater likelihood the House flips than the Senate. Senate races are just different," the GOP leader said. "Candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome."

Even though history strongly favors the party out of power — in this case the GOP — to make gains in midterm races, McConnell has long worried that subpar candidates could play into Democrats' hands.

While he didn't mention any names, there are examples across the country.
 
Hello archives,

Now with the election over are they still pounding the fear angle with their 24/7 echoing of crime, runaway inflation, and the border?

Their focus on crime would be more effective if they had any concrete proposals on what they would do differently.

Logically, the best way to address crime is to really go after fulfilling the preamble. Focus on education. A healthy wealthy nation with equitable prosperity for all will minimize crime. Conversely, an ineffective education system and stringent mandatory sentencing results in a prison mentality, a prison culture, higher taxes to pay for huge prison expenses, and more crime.

You're quibbling like a loser. Fine.

Your picture depicts 7 Americans dying in the National Airlines crash outside Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan. You're using it as a punch line. Guno's GIF didn't use the deaths of Americans for a political punchline.

Why not use this one? Only 4 Americans died here:

GOP Rep. Mayra Flores Of Texas Loses And Gripes That 'Red Wave Did Not Happen'

Rep. Mayra Flores (R-Texas) lost Tuesday and reacted with a big “RED” rant.

She won a special election to gain the seat in June but surrendered it in a defeat to Democrat Vicente Gonzalez in the midterms.

“The RED WAVE did not happen,” she tweeted after she was projected to lose. “Republicans and Independents stayed home. DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT THE RESULTS IF YOU DID NOT DO YOUR PART!”

Mitch McConnell cited "candidate quality" in August. It appears he was correct.
