Boebert? I don’t see that in the reporting yet, but saw that it was getting close for her. If she did lose, it would be hilarious.

It'll be a complete disaster for the the Democrats if they don't win every single seat.

I agree that it tells a very sad story about anywhere in America that they didn’t win.

I'm all for President Mayor Pete instead, but I think it's almost certain that Uncle Joe will run again, and if his opponents are as useless as the Republicans were in the mid-terms, he'll get elected again.
The best thing about Biden is that he does very little himself. He's appointed a lot of fairly competent people and let them go and do their jobs competently. It's very boring and technocratic, but it's not a bad way of doing things, particularly compared to the Putin or Trump or Elon Musk model of thinking you're good at everything and trying to control it all yourself.
Meanwhile, it now seems moderately likely that we'll have a 50D-49R Senate before the Georgia run-off. Which would be both fantastic and funny. Arizona has been called by a bunch of outlets for Kelly. And the remaining votes in Nevada look might be enough (although only just, so there's no celebration yet) to get CCM past Laxalt.

I see the Murdock empire has been shitting all over Trump since his candidates lost the GOP the midterms.
Though who the speaker will be, no knows, McCarthy looks dead in the water, the far right are refusing to back him, and given the expectation now is the GOP will, at best, eak out a 2 or 3 seat majority, if he wants the chair he's gonna need some demo to get it.
Meanwhile Rubio is saying McConnell should not assume he's gonna be Senate lead if the GOP does scrape in.
The reps are tearing themselves apart, and it's a sight to see.

As andy mentioned...
A good leader appoints a good cabinet (I don't know what the equivalent of a Cabinet is called in the USA)
filled with people who are knowledgeable in their particular field.
A psychopathic leader wants to run everything himself as he is absolutely certain only he knows best.

It's hilarious seeing the utter panic and humiliation from the far extreme left.

It would be a tough gig being leader of the house and trying to get the Republican caucus to agree on anything if they have a majority of maybe 10. Because the insane wing will think they can hold the caucus hostage as it can't pass anything without them. Yet the kinds of people who won in New York and New Jersey in marginal seats are not going to want to be tarred by the insane-wing's brush and will want to behave like grown ups, all standards and norms. And unlike with Pelosi and the Democrats this time around, there's not even the motivating force that they can pass any legislation, because anything that got through would get blocked by the Senate and anyway not signed by Biden. So they don't really have any driving force to remain coherent.
McCarthy is stupid enough that he might want the job, but he'd have a pretty miserable time of it over the next two years should he get the gig.

Nevada called for Democrats. They have the Senate for the next 2 years.

oh, i can't let this pass. now you like that approach? ronald reagan pretty much took the same approach and was filleted for it by the democrats, the media, and the left in general.
