Good analysis by Kos of Daily Kos about why 2022 may not see the usual mid-term Red Wave.
After Tuesday's stunning Democratic upset victory, the promised 'red wave' has ebbed
Conventional wisdom says the party that holds the White House is fated to suffer midterm losses. It’s tough to come out ahead when the election is framed as a referendum on the sitting president, in a political system that guarantees no president can...

One of the biggest reasons why a red wave may not occur is the red victories that happened in June. As others have said, the dog has finally caught the car and now has no idea what to do with it. While the Mar-A-Lago scandal gives them some ammunition, the Republicans will likely need a major Biden administration failure to recoup the deficit they may have incurred.Good analysis by Kos of Daily Kos about why 2022 may not see the usual mid-term Red Wave.

Texas Republicans are scared that candidates close to them on the political spectrum but aren't bat**** crazy might be more desirable.

On Aug. 8, a group of Republican candidates asked the Supreme Court to remove 23 Libertarian opponents from the ballot, saying they did not meet eligibility requirements. The Republicans included Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and others in congressional and state legislative races.

The old cliché was that Republicans would pander for centrist votes in primaries and then immediately turn into Goldwater once they were elected.
The Republican party of today makes Barry Goldwater look like Jimmy Carter. It is beyond absurd.

They’re going to have to go through all this again in a few months, but still, this is a BIG upset.

I've said it before but it's worth repeating that the GOP has done increasingly worse in national elections with Trump at the head of the party than before. The Trump base is like a neutron star of **** - just getting denser and hotter and smaller until, hopefully, it just collapses into a singularity of **** - one old white guy wearing a red cap screaming unintelligible nonsense into oblivion while everyone else has moved on.

Also the base is sure to love it.
Maybe Herschel will surprise us all and this is just a ploy to make Warnock overconfident. What do you call the rope-a-dope when the combatant fails to come back in the eighth round? Dope-a-dope, maybe.
It's not like winning factual arguments means anything to the R's these days, anyway.

Herschel Walker Says His Grandma Was 'Full-Blood Cherokee.' His Mom Says Otherwise.
The Georgia GOP Senate nominee’s great-grandma was somehow “kin to Cherokee,” she said, "but I don’t know too much about how she was connected."
