Those people are tired.

Also, we're in re-count-ville for this one anyway.

Hopefully the gap widens to 69 before the long and annoying recount.

I'm getting the distinct impression Arizona and Colorado could be flash points. Right wingers on Twitter are non-stop with narratives about why Florida reported so quickly but these places aren't. I don't know what's happening on the ground in those states but if Boebert and Masters don't win **** could get ugly.

So based on the red eddy that actually materialized - will this change whether or not Trump decides to run?

I can't see him backing down now and letting Desantis take his party from him. He's too big a baby.

Keep an eye on Georgia. I think Kelly hangs on in Arizona and Laxalt in Nevada so that would be a push.

So that will mean the circus will be back in town for the Georgia runoff.

Yeah but I wonder how that works out for Walker. Of all the bad GOP candidates, he was the worst. And without Kemp to carry, people need to go back to the polls to vote for a guy who's clearly unhinged.

Also, that race is going to get 100% of the attention now, so Walker's lunacy can't hide among other races. And the GOP blew a lot of money battleground states. That, and I think the wind was taken from the GOP sails. The DeSantis/Trump fight with distract people.

Yes but him getting elected would be the dumber possibility so it may happen anyway.

The Repubs are begging Trump to stay out of it this time, but I'm betting his ego won't allow it. Trump and Walker's own stupidity are a bad combination for the GOP.
