(54,518 posts)I maxed out to Bullock, and it was just not in the cards. Daines is as close to as stupid a Senator (along with Blackburn, Ernst, Hyde-Smith, and Ron Johnson) as there was in the Senate. He is a complete duncy fool.
I had no idea (obviously) that Cunningham would blow it late with a sex scandal, but for well over a year I said Cunningham was as the worst candidate we could have had of the big 4 (Jackson, Foxx, Stein, and of course Cal). I absolutely thought he would still win, as Tillis was just a sitting duck, the biggest in the nation in terms of Rethug elected incumbents, but of course he blew it late (probably not the best choice of words, lol).
I also, at the end of the day (although I was deadly accurate on the POTUS, same as 2016 I only missed 2 states, FL and MN in 2016, GA and NC this time) was way off on Rump's coattails and Biden large lack of them. I had us (and this is without GA) winning back the Senate 52-48 (so that would have put us at 54-46 with the 2 GA wins) and picking up 4 or 5 net House seats (so would be at 245ish compared to what we had post 2018, 241), but instead, we ended up losing a net 19.
