As for the 2026 midterms, only two things matter:

1. What does Alan Lichtman, prognosticator to the stars, who so brilliantly predicted the big kamala victory in 2024, have to say?

2. What does our resident, 70-year old, washed up, prune-faced, ex-hooker, with the worst political instincts since his contemporary, Alf Landon, have to say?

I will follow the leads of those two pathetic losers......

The Republican candidates running for office this year in south Florida are touting a campaign promise of making things more affordable, yet they also promote their support for donOLD and MAGA. They either refuse to answer or they offer a bigly word salad when asked how the tariffs they support are lowering the cost of living for their (potential) constituents.

South Florida like the rest of Florida is solid red with specks of blue.
In November they will be electing a black Republican as Governor and a female as US Senator. Their House delegation will continue to be overwhelmingly Republican and their state House and Senate will also be overwhelming Republican.

The residents of Florida enjoy low taxes and low crime. They fled states like Massachusetts, NY and NJ to escape all of that!

You might be right. Byron Donalds has certainly been promoted as being the first black governor of Florida if he's elected. Just don't call him a DEI hire. I'm surprised his ads don't promote his moral character. After all, when he got his mistress pregnant, he did the responsible thing; he divorced his wife and married his mistress. And Ashley Moody, the MAGA candidate for senate, has smartly remained silent on her approval of a $10 million theft from Medicaid when she was Florida's AG, and then another $10 million of taxpayer funds paid to stop the investigation and cover up her crimes. As you point out, both Donalds and Moody will probably win. Florida consistently ranks in the bottom 5 states in education, and we all know which party loves to grift the poorly educated.

Just like with Trump, the dishonest left throws as much crap, lies, and innuendo against the candidates, but just like with Trump, it will have no effect. Despite all of the phony indictments, fake news and lies (how's that Russia collusion hoax? LOL), the voters didn't care! They elected Donald Trump in 2024. And in 6 weeks they will elect Byron Donalds as Florida's first Black Governor and re-elect Ashley Moody. Couldn't the America bashing, Jew-hating cult known as the democrat party find someone better qualified than Angie Nixon in Florida? LOL. Is she the best you got? And after the multi-billion dollar medicaid frauds uncovered in both Minnesota and California, no democrat can ever talk about medicaid fraud with a straight face.

Interesting how some people are able to ignore massive gerrymandering where GOP politicians in Florida pick their voters, instead of voters picking politicians. The upside down reality of the current MAGA elite's sheeple.

An interesting statistic to consider now that primary season is over. Democratic turnout was up 35% from 2022 primaries, and GOP turnout was down 4%. If history can be trusted, this bodes well for democracy and the economy. Since 1992 job creation happens under Democratic presidents, job losses happen under Republicans. Biden had a huge mess to clean up from The Incompetent's first term.

I'm repeating myself from another thread, and speaking of Florida. The Great Incompetent's candidate for Governor, Byron Donalds, has just scrubbed any references to TGI from his campaign website. You'd never know he was arm and arm with the White House regime during campaign season. Facing American voters as a whole he's fled the MAGA elite's ship.

I know it's 8 years ago, but DeSantos only beat Andrew Gillum by 33,000 votes, 0.4% of the votes in the 2018 Governor's race. The significant thing is white or black they want/need to distance themselves from this incompetent and corrupt regime in the White House.

Must be difficult for Byron Donalds to pander to Florida voters' worst tendencies, like Repubs do, while being a black candidate, and while redacting T7ump from his campaign playbook. How is the dear fellow doing?

Alas, Ron Desantis and his shoe lifts may never be the Republican's guy.

No, I didn't mean that. I remember when Michelle Obama spoke about living in a house that was built by slaves though. It was a powerful realization of American history's arc.

Florida Republican Senator Rick Scott - LARGEST HEALTH CARE FRAUD CASE IN U.S. HISTORY SETTLED
HCA INVESTIGATION NETS RECORD TOTAL OF $1.7 BILLION

https://docs.house.gov/meetings/GO/GO00/20260304/119003/HHRG-119-GO00-20260304-SD039.pdf

States ranked by Medicaid fraud dollars in 2022 Nationwide, Medicaid fraud units recovered $1.1 billion in civil and criminal suits in 2022, according to a report from the HHS’ Office of Inspector General. 
Texas had the most Medicaid fraud dollars in 2022, with $219.9 million recovered from criminal and civil judgements. 

Since you're replying to my post, it might be beneficial for you to know that not everyone who isn't a MAGAt is a Democrat. If you're suggesting that public officials shouldn't be held accountable for the crimes they commit because of crimes others commit, that's just stupid. Is it fair to say that when your Orange Daddy said he loved "the poorly educated" he was saying he loved people who could be easily manipulated?

There is another big difference. In the case of Rick Scott it was an (eventual) elected Republican representative who did the fraud for the private gain of his company and himself. With the other instances of fraud it is the various State governments (both Republican and Democrat run) that are the victims of fraud. The issue there is regulation. The other other difference you point out is: where's the investigation of Texas? Just another instance of selective prosecution by this weaponized federal regime.

I agree with you it's annoying if people assume your Democrat just because a person is contributing facts from Earth 1.

It is looking really bad for Republicans.

They are probably one offs. But there are polls showing Democrats tied in Florida and leading in ......................... Kansas?

Charlie Cook had one of the best lines about 2018. It was a "color intensifier" year, he said. Democrats had a 7.3 % lead in the final 2018 generic ballot polling average, and actually won by 8.4 %, picking up 41 House seats. But we lost a net two Senate seats after Democrats were trounced in "red" Missouri, North Dakota, Indiana, and Florida.

As of now Democrats have an 8.4 % lead in the generic ballot.

If Democrats win Senate and Guv seats in Iowa and any statewide race in Texas, that's not color intensification. That's a color change.

For some people "color change" could be triggering. There's that conspiracy theory promoted by the MAGA elite that the MAGA sheeple eat up about "replacement" of the "white race" in the USA.

Or there's the current White House crime family plan. Get rich through illegal payments to lie about having had sex with any of them. Yuck.

Perhaps if the color change is Michael Jackson, it could be triggering, but if color change implies eradicating and ridding ourselves of Trump, I believe MOST of the World is ONBOARD now !

Thank you. It was a blast. Could not possibly have been more love and kindness day after day, since there was LOTS of family involved.

The running joke as I explained is my nephew's wife's mother. Who is older than me. And a widow. We hit it off when we first met years ago. And my nephew and her daughter - aka the mother and father of the bride - are both really warm and loving people. So the stock line on my end is, "If I weren't Gay I would marry her." And the stock line on her end is, "Too bad he's Gay."

It gets more fun. Her one son, aka's my nephew's wife's brother, is a very hot guy. His wife told me when they first met she got a Gay "vibe" from him. He's warm and funny, but far from Gay. And very Republican. When I said some nice things about Georgia GOP Guv Brian Kemp it became pretty clear pretty quick {"that piece of shit?") that guys like Kemp are too moderate for him.

Anyhoo, when I first saw him he was talking to his Mom. So I got off the "If I weren't Gay ..." line. Which is getting old. But then I turned to him and said, "Do you realize if I weren't Gay I could be your father in law?" He laughed. Better than fighting about politics.

So, no, I did not catch the bouquet. But I caught the love. Which is even better.

It's a shame.

I have a Straight hypothetical girlfriend who is loving and kind. But I am Gay. And I have a possible Gay lover. But he is cruel. What to do?

He really does have a beautiful complexion!

And he cums every time a Palestinian child dies. He must be quite virile. Still, I don't share his genocide fetish.

So I guess that just leaves you and me, Sis. 🫢

That might depend on how much money has changed hands not to have sex. But you're a millionaire what do you care about money.
