It wasn’t just the victories. It was the margins of those victories.
We all knew Mamdani was going to win New York’s mayoral race. But 15 points in Virginia? 13 points in New Jersey? 60% margins for retention of Democratic Supreme Court Justices in PA, despite millions in crap ads funded by Republican dark money? Virginia amping its House of Delegates to Dems with 13 plus margins? Maine dumping an anti-Democratic voter bill? California’s Prop 50 isn’t called yet (oh wait, it is), but the hits keep coming. I have a good feeling about how that one will end up.
This is beyond a shellacking. It’s a total repudiation, in an extremely polarized environment. This kind of thing just doesn’t happen.
Voters are not happy with Trump, or the Republican Party. They have spoken tonight. If this vote were nationwide, the GOP would be groveling in the dustbin of history right now.
Just wait until this goosed up stock market begins to tank. And all the erstwhile Republicans voting for their increasingly fragile, AI-stoked pocketbooks suddenly realize Donnie has conned them all along and is planning on running away with his family into Neverland.
Think this is bad? There is going to be Hell to pay when that happens.
