It is fun to watch jammin. For many years it is apparent that he believes what the right wing is selling him and he goes to great pains to come up with internal theories as to why it is not true right now but most certainly will be in the near future. Think about the copious amounts of money that he could have made if he never bought into all of his bearish economic claims.

Never, never never count Biden out. He has always been the comeback kid. Truthfully, the guy is AMAZING. I can't imagine performing under the stresses that he has endured personally and as leader of this country at his age. Yes he is damn old but very very few could do what he did at his age. He brought us through Covid, (yes covid was very real and horrible and he saw bodies dying so fast in certain areas that they were stacked up outside of hospitals) in a much better economic position than other countries, he took over after a president who refused to peacefully relinquish power and convinced millions of people that he had the presidency stolen, he withstood vicious attacks and lies from the right that even distorted the media coverage of him, he lead the democratic party away from some crazy progressive ideas (defund the police), lowered drug prices, gave us a growing economy, high employment, and some great bills and restored the United States back to a position of world leadership. Yeah he is real old, and often it shows, but the guy is amazing.
So that Biden lead the democrats to historic midterm election results is not surprising. He's the comeback kid.
Go get 'em Joe, keep it up!

In AZ, Kari Lake will be taking the lead tonight and will cruise to victory. Blake Masters continues to close the gap as these upcoming drops start including election day only votes.
In NV, Lombardo will win the Gov race and Laxalt is ahead by approx 16,000 votes with about 50K ballots remaining to be counted in Clark County. Masto will need at least 66% of that 50K ballots in order to defeat Laxalt- that might be a bridge too far. This does not count the remaining rural counties which skew heavily for Laxalt.
I suspect the fix is in.
Don't want to let this fall to the Georgia run off
Don't worry, it will be over before then.

no joke, Biden will be remembered as a master politician. He beat the most gifted politician of our time for the presidency despite everyone saying he had no chance. He got tons of important legislation passed with only 50 senators. He had the best first midterm of any president in recent history and actually gained seats in the Senate (probably).
Amazing stuff. Master of politics.

And all done as a guy in his twilight years. He's still a formidable man.

Biden has what is called The Soft Sell. He doesn't pressure, rant or act bombastic he just quietly avoids confrontation and seems to make it work. I've noticed with this election he just let the GOP make itself look bad while he supported his choices and didn't try scare tactics...other than the loss of Democracy angle.

Ugly American Biden does not know the difference between Colombia and Cambodia.

After the complete drubbing the Biden lead Democrats gave to the m'aga Republicans I don't deny you this very small modicum of solace at linking a gaff by Biden. At this dreary time for Republicans, at least it something to talk about other than the election.

maybe the Repubs will learn from this to leave transgender issues and election denial out of it. Apparently all that m'aga crazy drove the independents to the Dems. In search of sanity.
THe thing is...Repubs live in such geographic and media bubbles that they have no idea most of the nation thinks they are idiots to believe a word trump says. Repubs just don't understand how awful they look, and how that awfulness drives independent to vote for Dems.
But they'll stick with Trump because they love him (literally) and think trump makes the libs cry. And the Rs are used to losing now, so no biggie if they lose a few more.

to underline the point of indies running fast away from m'aga:
WSJ:
independents favored Democrats by 4 points nationally, the survey found, and by a far more substantial 18 points in Pennsylvania, 28 points in Georgia and more than 30 points in Arizona.

The total national vote count is currently 5 percent in favor of Republicans.
A lot of independents must have run to the Republican party and registered for your data to be true.
By the way 5 percent is a red wave. It is very curious how that did not translate into wins as it has in the past. Apparently the Dems only got "high turnout" in the places where it was needed.

At least democrats can admit Biden blows. God forbid a Republican criticized Trump.

There are about 5 million votes in California alone that haven't been counted yet. The final margin won't be anywhere near 5%.
