Mitch has got to be pissed this morning.

[yellowcanine]

Trump singlehandedly destroyed his Senate majority.

[llashram]

1. yep

[Cha]

2. mitch had a big hand in that.

Autocratic Abuser.

[yellowcanine]

5. Yeah but he won't admit it.

[Cha]

9. No, of course not.. but he enabled

the fascist trump.. now that's taken away from him. he earned every metaphorical hit that's coming his way.

he's not called Moscow Mitch for nothing.

[wnylib]

13. Being what he is, though, he is

no doubt plotting a comeback and revenge in 2022.

We can't let that happen.

[Cha]

18. Oh yeah.. he's evil like trump..

bet he didn't expect Georgia BLUE, though!



We need a new Blue Wave Graphic that says 2021 & 2022!

[wnylib]

23. Trump and Mitch are fighting

for control of the party. I think Trump will end up controlling a splinter fascist party and someone like Romney will end up leading the rest, leaving Mitch in the dust...unless the Romney faction thinks Mitch and his tactics are useful.

[Blues Heron]

3. Mitch owes a lot of his loss to his own vile hypocrisy

He showed us who he is with Merrick Garland.

[BlueNProud]

4. Trust me he and the Koch Brothers have already been working Manchin to flip

well see where this goes

[madaboutharry]

6. Manchin won't flip.

He likes having the attention and power of being right where he is. If he changed parties he becomes another nobody.

[CincyDem]

11. Don't bet on it. Ask yourself, what would Mitch give to me Majority Leader again...

...and he'll give all that and more to Manchin to entice him to flip.

Although the best personal strategy for Manchin is probably to go Independent. If he flips, it's a one time event and a one time "payment". If he goes Independent, it's a power annuity...he can cash chips with either side on a vote by vote basis.

We'll see. Maybe he's got more ethics than have been obvious over the years. I don't think so but I would love to be proven wrong.

[BlueNProud]

17. Don't get me wrong whatever happens yesterday was a great day

but the Dems really need to thread the needle here and frankly Schumer is not a wartime consigliere. Give me Harry Reid or George Mitchell any day.

[yellowcanine]

10. I think more likely that Lisa Murkowski flips. She has run as an independent

before.

[uponit7771]

7. K&R, Trump has 90% approval among kGOP for him to keep power he needed to get rid of Moscow

... Mitch now Trump can completely split up the kGOP by threatening 20 senators with primaries in 2022 without sharing power or the limelight with Moscow Mitch.

The breakup of the kGOP should be its own feature movie.

[wnylib]

20. Yep. I've said this before.

Trump has pitted himself against Moscow Mitch in a power play for leadership of the party. With Mitch out of the way, Trump believes that he controls the future of the Republican party.

Instead, the party will fracture, with Trumpists going one way and the rest another way. Trump will be leader of the American Fascist party, which will probably call itself something like the America First party. The rest will regroup and try to re-establish a conservative party, maybe with a new name since Trump has sullied the word Republican (with their willing help). Romney might become leader of the new conservative party.

The split looks good for us on the surface, but the two RW parties might temporarily coopetate in some elections to resist Democratic candidates.

That's how it looks to me, anyway. Could be wrong. Just make sure that we stay together as a party and learn a lesson from their mistakes.

[uponit7771]

25. This is exactly what I'm thinking !!! Down to the dot, the kGOP made a deal with the devil and he's

... going to tear them apart.

If we can at least keep them from abusing the filibuster we can watch them tear themselves apart from the sidelines eating popcorn

[wnylib]

27. .

[dubyadiprecession]

8. Trump gave him enough rope and Moscow Mitch hung himself with it!

[jonstl08]

12. The stimulis comment killed him

His comment last week saying the $2000 dollars was not needed by people because it was helping the rich probably had something to do with the turnout.

[Marrah_Goodman]

19. Agreed! nt

[Kahuna]

22. Yep. nt

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

14. No, I think he's satisfied with his legacy: ...

... a Judicial Branch that is firmly in the hands of conservative judges, with a conservative pro-life Catholic Supreme Court.

Mission accomplished.

[StarfishSaver]

15. Trump and the nuts in his Senate Republican caucus

He's probably not going to be too patient with them today.

[JT45242]

16. And after all that work on 'voting machines' legislation for

Kentucky, Iowa, SC, and everywhere else that republican senators with approval ratings below 45% won majorities of the vote.... how he, Ernst (doesn't know the price of corn in Iowa), Graham, Collins, etc won still seems shady to me. But -- our side lost gracefully, if not by honest means,.

[jonstl08]

21. agree

I was wondering the same thing. How could the Presidential Polls be correct in some states but the Senate polls be so wrong. Something seems fishy.

[BlueJac]

24. Makes my day!

Loving every minute of it!

[backtoblue]

26. Stand back!
