Biggest winners and losers

The man with NO political instincts who promoted Allan Lichtman and his magical keys on this site for months?

I still think the Keys are fantastic.

Let's see.  Trump won in 2016, lost in 2018, lost in 2020, lost in 2022, and won in 2024.  That's 40 %

Lichtman was right in 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020.  We'll count 2000 against him, even though he would debate that.  So he was wrong in 2000 and 2024.  That is 9 out of 11 right, or 82 % right.   Twice as much as Trump's ability to win or carry his party to victory.

Who is the village idiot?  Lichtman, or Trump?   Who is the loser?  Lichtman, or Trump?   Enjoy your majority 49.9 % and cruelty while it lasts.

A clever MAGA true believer not consumed by cruelty and lies might think it through.  Let's see, we won by 49.9 % of the vote.  And that was in a year when either Biden or Harris had a wall of lava coming at them, thanks to inflation, like every other incumbent in the world that was tossed out.

So I might want to think about how I maintain the majority I don't actually have.

But, no.  I'm @EmmetKruelty.   So I'll just gloat and spew cruelty and lies.

No one ever accused you of being stupid, did they?  Because you obviously just have lots of stupid ideas.

But we do agree Lichtman is talking stupidly, now.  His schtick that Trump voters fell prey to "disinformation" is stupid.  They fell prey to their pocketbooks, and immigrants Greg Abbot bused to New York pissing in their front yards.

Where Lichtman went badly wrong in 2024 was the short-term economy key.  All he really has to do is listen to himself on C-SPAN in 1992, arguing that the Keys tell him that Bush 41 will lose because the majority of Americans feel like we are in a recession.  

I think it was an understandable mistake.  Which cruel MAGA blowhards who are fine with Trump Rape and Trump Crime and Trump Felony and Trump's Jubilant Patriotic Cop Beating have absolutely no tolerance for.  Send Lichtman to Gaza!  He's also in that fringe of anti-Semitic Jew haters who thinks Bibi The Baby Killer needs to be fired.  Jew hater!

Older White Guys who own homes or retirement accounts saw their net worth skyrocket under Biden.  For that matter, so did the average Millennial and Zoomer.  But a big increase on next to nothing is next to nothing.  I had two tenants tell me during the COVID years they had to spend out some of their small savings just to get by, thanks to inflation.  And I'm their landlord.  I did not raise their rent, which in both cases was way below market.  So that tells me that young people especially were feeling the pain.  Lichtman missed that.

Of course, no cruel and dishonest blowhard we know brings their bias and hate with them in every post, do they?

I think we can add the Treasurer of the Cackles/TamponTim campaign. After raising a record-breaking 1 billion dollars, the campaign still ended up in debt.
How much did they pay Oprah? 
How much did they donate to Sharpton's group for an interview?

As of right now, the Democrats have won exactly the same number of House seats as 2022:  213 seats.  Republicans have won 220, two short of their 2022 win.

Some red wave!

Democrat Derek Tram (CA-45) is over 500 votes ahead, with about 4500 votes left to count.  With every vote update, his margin grows.

Democrat Adam Grey (CA-13) is about 200 votes behind, with about 2200 votes left to count.  Sounds like he will lose.  But this past week he went from 3000 votes behind to 2000 votes behind to 350 votes behind to now 200 votes behind.  So this one could go either way.   It's a good symbol of the fact that neither side really has a sustainable majority.  Unless Trump fixes that, Republicans will lose in 2028.

I'm glad I spent every penny I did.  The money and organizing clearly helped contain a red wave in both 2022 and 2024.  That said, Democrats lost the House, barely, in 2022.  And we lost the White House and Senate, also barely, in 2024.  I don't think spending $1  billion somehow made things worse.  I think it made them less bad.

But, speaking of $1 billion, when do we get those tax cuts for billionaires?

If we are talking about things that repel voters from Republicans, that is somewhere between inflation and immigration on the toxic scale.   That helped get lots of Republicans fired in 2018 and 2020.

We can add heterosexual white men to the list of winners.
With the end of DEI, identity politics, quotas, affirmative action, etc. everyone will be judged by their merits. No more favoritism to selected groups.
