If Collins loses we have 50 senators plus VP Harris

[jg10003]

Otherwise we have 49 and the soulless lizard remains majority leader, unless Cunningham manages a miracle in NC (what sort of grown man sextexts? Why can't politicians, in both parties, keep their pants on?)

[rownesheck]

1. She already won.

[Demsrule86]

2. Collins won. But we will have a run off .

[hlthe2b]

3. If you mean Susan Collins, she won. Time to recalibrate.

[SoCalNative]

4. Gideon has already conceded

so Collins has been declared the winner.

[MissB]

5. Collins won. Her opponent gave it up

[Miguelito Loveless]

6. Collins just won

her opponent conceded.

Another reason we lose is we refuse to fight tooth and claw for counting votes to completion.

NEVER concede.

NEVER!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

11. Sick of these Dems who come to a gun fight

with a butter knife.

[Miguelito Loveless]

13. Exactly my feeling

We are never going to win as long as we keep playing this way.

At this point, fuck civility.

[AleksS]

14. Worse:

We come to a gunfight with a concession speech!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

22. Exactly!

I despise the bravado & bullying of the Rs, and I'd hate for us to become them. But, ffs, don't surrender so damn easily!

[Raine]

7. She won. nt

[cry baby]

8. Gideon conceded.

[leftieNanner]

9. How do you get to 50?

We lost Alabama, and gained AZ and CO. Lost Maine too.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

17. And MI is uncertain at this point. nt

[FBaggins]

10. Where are you finding the extra senators?

Peters still has a good chance, but that would bring it up to 48. We'll have to win a tough runoff in GA to make 49.

[jg10003]

16. Warnock in GA is about 270,000 ahead

[FBaggins]

18. Why would that matter?

He's going to have a pull a few percent from people who voted for a republican the first time around if he's going to win.

[Hortensis]

26. Yes, but the spoilers are now out, Warnock will not be

at the bottom of a long alphabetic list, we'll have another 2 months of Trump acting out his narcissistic rage, a problem for his acolyte Loeffler, another 200,000+++ people will be dead by January 5 -- and many will leave behind grieving GA voters, and we'll have a spotlight on her corruption and deadly depraved indifference to the lives of Georgians.

Oh, and conservatives, and way too many on the left, have a long history of preferring black men to women of any color. Just ask Stacy Abrams. Misogyny rules racism.

These are not normal times.
It's not over until it's over.

[ybbor]

19. He only has like 40%

There will be a runoff and it will be difficult to win with a unified GOP candidate. He was running against two repubs, they split the vote.

[LeftInTX]

23. ugh!! A special election

Forget that....

Runoffs have the lowest turnout imaginable known to man

OK I'm exaggerating, but I volunteer on campaigns, special election runoffs are always bad news for Democrats.


You're looking at a statewide runoff, 6 weeks or so after a general election. The only reason Warnock is making it to the runoff is because the special election was combined with the general election.

[donco]

12. soulless lizard!!!

That's an insult to...turtles.

[jg10003]

15. we started with 47, lost AL. Added CO, AZ, GA(2nd) 49

[Tom Rinaldo]

21. Except we did not add GA (2nd). It now goes to a January runoff with the Repub who came in 2nd n/t

[LeftInTX]

25. We will have 48

With Kamala, we will have 49.

Mitch will still be able to do his magic.

[Cicada]

20. Likely: Lisa Murkowski becomes the second most powerful politician

Alaska May get a tremendous surge of federal spending. I will support bridges to nowhere in return for a rebuilt more inclusive health care system.

[Cartaphelius]

24. Any body see Roger Stoney Habbit?
