    Not sure the election in NY was that much of a “bellweather”. The R was a completely unknown black Ethiopian woman with a heavy accent running against a well known Dem with at least a reputation for being a moderate. The snowstorm depressed the ED vote and George Santos called the R a “Dem lite” and said he wouldn’t vote for her.

    Despite all that she got 47% of the vote.

    General Flynn asks if they will admit they did a coup to take down Trump and Flynn?

    Don’t forget that John Durhom found that the FBI had no right to open an investigation into Trump in his findings.

    The FBI used the CIA’s spying for it’s rational to investigate Trump.

    and who arranged for the spying?

    it was Obama and Biden in the Oval Office, January 5th, 2017 when the plan into effect.

    Why did they raid Maro A Lago: to get back to documents that Trump declassified on this entire coup.

    Then they blamed Trump for it all and tried to put him in jail.

    Biden recently railed at his own DOJ as ton why they failed to prosecute Trump early and get him into jail before the 2024 election

    Nah, I am sure there are quite a few people in the district that think he shouldn’t have been expelled and followed his lead. Probably enough to keep the R from winning. I think his endorsement would have been worth another 4%.

    The stupidity of this expulsion vote is just mind boggling to me. The Dems were gifted this seat and all they had to do is bully the Rs to expel him. You know when Dems would have expelled their own member without a conviction or even with one? Never.

  23. I actually agree with Bitter and Jason, for a change. Expelling Santos was deserved but not a timely move, considering the slim R House margins and the fact he would not be running for re-election. Also the R candidate was a former democrat, a virtual unknown person, and refused to deal with DJT in an area where he is popular with the base. For example, there was a mutual endorsement between Santos and Trump, who then won by 8 points. A more post mortem analysis of yesterday’s NY race is that the dem ran as a center right candidate, was well known, there was an intense ballot harvesting effort via the unions, and the snowfall actually had little to do with the low turnout and dismal Republican performance.

  24. ”That the isolationist Putin lovers will be upset?”

    That taunt is getting overused and old. Most people against further aid to Ukraine do so because of debt reasons, and how the money is urgently needed for issues in this country. If Vic’s call for unity is heeded, then constantly needling with misinformation is not a good path forward.

  30. Jason’s post mortem on the race in NY-3 is correct. The R candidate was unknown, a true former D, who did not connect with anyone in the district. If Zeldin had run he would have won the district by 6% easily (he carried it during the gubernatorial race by 11%.

    Suozzi had won this district 3 times before, by almost the same exact margin btw 54%-46%, so actually this candidate did no worse than anyone before her. The fraudster Campos (who should NEVER have been expelled since hes not been convicted of anything) won this seat because of Zeldin, as voters who went for Zeldin 282K – 210K…which was an exact flip of the 2018 election where the Dem carried the district 282K – 202K for the R).
