Maple Leaf Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I just spent a couple of days with two of my Republican relatives in Michigan. We normally avoid talking about politics but I eased into the subject this morning over breakfast. They didn't say much, other than they thought both Biden and Trump were very poor candidates. They said that they were hoping Nikki Haley would win the Republican nomination. They seemed reluctant to talk about it so the conversation moved on to other stuff. My guess is that they'll vote for the Republican candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like almost everyone has increased their spending to meet that target. Except Turkey, but then they've always played their own game. And the USA, who seem to have reduced their spending. And the UK, who are skint. So it seems that everyone else are "paying their bills" as the orange idiot would put it.

JFK-1 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Today is the deadline for Trump to file an appeal to the SC against the recent court of appeal decision that presidential immunity from prosecution is not a real thing, it doesn't exist. Will he or wont he? One guy thinks that Trump might be too embarrassed to appeal to HIS supreme court and have it booted out. Wouldn't be too sure of that but he's definitely thin skinned and weak minded enough to consider that.

JFK-1 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Note how Trump in his fairy tales of big burly truck drivers with tears streaming down their face and so on is always addressed as sir, judging from the latest ramble about NATO which is shown here even world leaders, "of a big country" also habitually call him sir. Which is odd because I remember a hot mic at the G20 or something when they were all caught marveling about how stupid he is. And no one was calling him sir, idiot was the title they were throwing around. I wish he were smart enough to comprehend how stupid he really comes across as. But that would likely require an intelligence boost from toddler level to juvenile at least. But of course that isn't going to be happening.

Watt-Zeefuik Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Big special election tonight. Replacing expelled Congressman and serial fantasist George Santos in suburban Long Island, New York. The outcome has some minor consequences (a Democratic pickup would narrow the GOP's already very narrow majority) but in aggregate special elections tend to be predictors of general election results. This one is also important because it's a largely white, suburban district in the urban north of the sort that went for Trump in 2016 but switched to Biden in 2020, which didn't matter in New York but swung states like Pennsylvania and Michigan. The GOP is trying to run on immigration and border issues. If they get a win tonight, it's another sign that Democrats have a lot to worry about on that front. If the Democrat wins, particularly handily, it's a sign that issue may not be as potent as the GOP wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watt-Zeefuik Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Democratic pessimism has become a ****ing cottage industry in Washington in the last decade or so. "Dems in disarray" became such a common headline that it became a joke meme and now the political rags have to use "increasingly concerned" instead. Some of this is worthwhile, as excessive optimism is in some ways more dangerous. But sometimes it's just in denial of empirical results. I'm again quoting Josh Marshall on this: Quote With the clear light of morning I wanted to do another after-action report on the results out of the special election in New York’s 3rd congressional district. According to the close-to-final results former Rep. Tom Suozzi beat Mazi Pilip by eight percentage points, 54% to 46%. That is a decisive if not a huge margin. Notably that’s the identical margin from the 2022 result when the now-expelled George Santos defeated Robert Zimmerman (D). (Suozzi gave up the seat in 2022 to make a truly quixotic run for governor.) So from GOP +8 to Dem +8. Suozzi’s 54% of the vote was also what Biden got in the district in 2020, though it’s important to note that the district lines were redrawn after 2022. So it’s not a perfect apples to apples comparison. But it shows that there is one way to look at this race as a completely baseline result, with George Santos’s win in 2022 as a big outlier, and part of a surprisingly strong showing for Republicans across the southern portion of New York State. We’re hearing a lot of people say this morning that special elections aren’t predictive. In other words, Suozzi winning this seat doesn’t tell us one way or another about whether Joe Biden is going to beat Donald Trump. And that’s true as far as it goes. The dynamics of special elections are different. This is a swingish part of a very Democratic metropolitan area. You have one candidate who is very well known in the district, with a proven electoral track record versus another who was an almost total unknown. But the polling data is notable. There were four polls in this race. Suozzi led in all four, with the margins, in chronological order: D+3, D+4 , D+4, D+1. The actual result appears to be D+8. In the world of vibes, this was too close to call and the Democrats were moving heaven and earth to stave off a humiliating defeat. That’s fun for post-vote cackling. But we need to sweep it to the side when looking at the polls, which never really showed that. As noted, the big Dem pessimist argument is that recent special elections don’t tell us much because low turnout special elections are tailor-made for the Democrats increasingly educated/affluent constituency which is made up of very consistent voters. That educated/affluent part of the Democratic coalition is the one that has remained most enamored of Joe Biden. But the delta between the poll prediction and the actual result is a bit different. Special elections can be difficult to survey. But, at least in theory, a standard likely voter screen should be make sense of an election in which only very consistent voters show up. But the polls missed the outcome by a significant margin. One poll missing by 4 percentage points is basically the margin of error. But when they all do it’s more than that. They seem to have misjudged each candidate’s support by a small but significant degree. In one race that’s not a huge deal. But this has been a relatively consistent pattern now for going on two years: public polls understating Democratic strength by relatively small but fairly consistent measures.

Footballfirst Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 The US Congress has just voted 214-213 to impeach Mayorkas, the Homeland Security Secretary, over his alleged failure to control the borders. I have no idea what the Republicans want to achieve by this other than to give Trump a platform to say he would do something different. In other US government news: Apparently Turner is due to be briefed of this "threat" tomorrow, so perhaps it's surprising that he should issue such a scaremongering statement today. Maybe it's to deflect from the Democrats winning a House seat from the Republicans last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've passed almost nothing except for basic government funding bills, and those have fomented revolt. Republicans have such a narrow majority that the far right wing of the party can basically derail things, which their base is fully encouraging them to do. In the wake of having done literally anything of importance other than fight with each other constantly, they're doing this impeachment to try to show their base that they've done something worthwhile. (They haven't of course, this couldn't be more DOA in the Senate if they tried.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope that it's a sign of things to come. It's very hard to read anything into a special election in one district, especially where the turnout seems to have been very low. It's also difficult to make comparisons over time as well, particularly where boundaries have been redrawn. But I'd still sound a cautionary note from a Democrat perspective. Suozzi won with 53.8% of the vote. In 2016, when Trump was getting close enough in the popular vote nationally to tip the Electoral College in his favour, Suozzi won the seat with 52.9% of the vote. So while he regained the seat with a hefty swing, his vote share was less than 1 percentage point higher than in 2016. If that kind of scoring were repeated nationally in November, you'd probably just about see a Trump defeat, but it would be a tighter race than 2020. Bear in mind as well that the Republican candidate seems to have run a strange race, and that Santos' antics may have depressed the Republican vote in the district to Pilip's disadvantage. I'm not saying that happened, because I've no way of knowing, but there's enough reason for caution, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
