LOL.... Republicans are so angry with Wasserman for calling AZ for Kelly last night

[Claustrum]

that he was forced to post a disclaimer.

I've seen enough: Sen. Mark Kelly (D) wins reelection in #AZSEN, defeating Blake Masters (R).

1. It's getting to the point in this country

nobody can have an opinion unless you're a RWNJ. Next they'll want absolute loyalty to Der Fuhrer.

[in2herbs]

2. Myabe so but who is their next Der Fuhrer? It's hard to imagine someone worse than

tfg, desatan, and the others.

19. Josh Hawley comes to mind...n/t

[jaxexpat]

20. DeSantis has a shallow plot just off a road through a swamp near Apalachicola for Sen. Hawley.

The question is, will Hawley step into it while distractedly fist saluting an insurrection and NOT watching his step? Or will DeSantis have him pushed?

[jayschool2013]

21. Hawley

Just tell him there's danger in the area, and point out the ditch near Apalachicola as a safe space. He'll run right into it.

[Celerity]

28. Lake scares the fuck out of me.

[GreenWave]

3. If race results were reversed they would be screaming for the call!

Time to splash them with paint?

[Claustrum]

4. I think it's the split ticket or mixed result in many states that is preventing them to shout fraud.

They needed some votes to count to catch up while they want others not to count.

[DFW]

5. I tend to agree with that

They can’t say that Kemp won fairly, but Warnock didn’t if it was the same election.

[Dale in Laurel MD]

7. They did in 2020.

There were plenty of claims that Biden votes were faked but down-ballot votes for Repubs on the same ballot were legitimate.

[DFW]

18. I'm familiar with the argument

"Those things on my right hand are fingers, but those things on my left hand are toes."

(Direct translation from the original Republicanese)

[dchill]

8. In my experience, they've said whatever they needed to say...

...to bolster their alternative facts.

[Cosmocat]

10. This is what it is

they LONG ago gave up any pretense of consistency or avoidance of hypocrisy.

In the great holy and patriotic war against the evil liberal boogyman, ANYTHING goes.

[calimary]

17. Yep. THIS.

They live in their own reality. And they won’t be moving out of that reality voluntarily, anytime soon. Don’t forget about the power of DENIAL.

[Gordolfon]

6. he didn't have to do the disclaimer

he had simply seen enough.

[Polybius]

9. After saying "I've seen enough", has Wasserman ever gotten it wrong?

I've asked this two other times over the past two years, and have never gotten an answer.

[Claustrum]

11. I've seen a tweet saying he got it right about 92% of the time

and citing a race in NV that Ralston got right (assuming Wasserman didn't). I don't know enough to research the validity of that tweet. But point being, I think Wasserman is very much likely to be right.

[CaptainTruth]

12. I believe you're correct on that.

Wasserman's accuracy is in the high 90% but he did go against Ralston in one NV call that he got wrong, that's the one I've heard of.

Wasserman is damn good, nearly "money in the bank" good, but I don't think anyone knows NV better than Ralston.

[Demsrule86]

23. He has never been wrong...and if he says Kelly wins...then Kelly wins...and Cortez Masto will win

too. And a fair number of those ballots you refer to are Culinary worker ballots and will break for the Democrats.

[Claustrum]

24. Are you referring to other comments of mine? I didn't talk about NV in this one.

The NV race was a previous race in other years. Like I said, I don't know which one that tweet was talking about but comment #13 said the same thing.

As far as the current NV race, I definitely believe CCM will pull ahead and win. It's just that we have to wait for the votes to be counted before we know for sure. Saying to wait doesn't mean I am rooting for republicans to win or that I doubt CCM's ability to win this race. Stop reading non-existing things into what I said. I am not some republican troll. But at the same time, I am trying to put out the facts as it stands now without adding too much "what I hope it is" into it.

13. Tough.. DT was ballistic at fox for calling

AZ for Joe Biden Early in 2020.. lol

[BadgerMom]

14. It seems as though networks are fearful to make calls

after TFG’s agita following Fox’s call of AZ for Biden in 2020. Maybe not. Maybe there are just so many mail-in ballots now that counting takes longer than it has before. But since 2000 many election nights aren’t what they used to be, 2008 and 2012 being exceptions.

[Claustrum]

16. I think for AZ, they are waiting for the 290k mail-in votes that were dropped off on election day.

It is assumed that it would lean republican but Master would need something like 70/25 to take the lead. Wasserman think it's near impossible to get that ratio so he called AZ. The networks are likely waiting for some of that votes to release later today and call it for Kelly when it shows Masters only get 60/35.

[Deminpenn]

22. Networks are milking the post-election day period

for all it's worth to goose ratings.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

26. Elections are to M$M as Christmas is to shopping malls.

[peppertree]

15. Master Bates will have to go cry to Sieg Theil.

No resemblance, surely.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

25. It's an echo of Fox calling Arizona D on election night in 2020. RW went apoplectic then. . . nt
