DeSantis channels his inner Limbaugh, blames GOP voters for staying home instead of blaming Trump for breaking his promises

 Here.

"... a lot of our voters who stayed home, they stayed home because they were frustrated with the lack of productivity from Republicans in the House and Senate. ..."

Gotta do better than that, Bud.

DeSantis is overreacting

DeSantis: Close To "Extinction-Level Event" For Republicans, So Why Did Florida Hold Up?

Did Democrats go extinct when the GOP took the House in 2010 by a net +63? Obviously not.

At this hour Democrats are ahead by a net +38. 

The Senate is currently D54-R44 with two races still not called.

This is the expected Blue Wave. 

Deal with it.

In the nutball era, you can have a president who put the Taliban in charge of the war on terror, and a leading opponent of his who thinks an antisemite has a legitimate role in the defense of liberal democracy

Abdul associates reportedly involved in pressure campaign against University of Michigan to sever financial ties to Israel


 

Haley Stevens' fiancee: Stop blaming the Joos for the price of bananas

Haley Stevens' house is divided before it even starts.
 

The fiancé of Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich. has come out and said he cannot vote for Democratic Michigan Sen.-nominee Abdul El-Sayed, believing he is an antisemite.

Stevens, though, remains undaunted, backing the candidate for Senate. Jason Turkish, a Jewish registered Democrat, told The Detroit News he will be voting for Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers, appearing at a Rogers event sponsored by the Republican Jewish Coalition on Wednesday night at the Townsend Hotel in Birmingham, Michigan.

"I waited, and I watched and and I listened for Abdul to moderate – but he didn't moderate, he escalated," Turkish, a Michigan lawyer himself, told reporters on the sidelines of that event in a video published by The Detroit News. 

"He's gotten worse, and worse and worse as this general election campaign has gone on. Rather than bringing people together he's just driven them further and further apart."

... Turkish says El-Sayed's anti-Israel rhetoric makes his community "less safe," fearing his party will bend to radicals claiming that there is a "genocide" in Gaza.

"When he says genocide over and over again, when he refuses to condemn an ad that says Jews are to blame for the price of bananas, he makes my community less safe," Turkish said. "He makes a lot of communities less safe."

... "Every time he talks about genocide, Jews get death threats," Turkish added. "We have never seen a candidate for U.S. Senate act so recklessly toward the safety of Jews in the community as we have seen from Abdul."

... "I watch him in recent weeks as he has become verbally combative with any reporter who has the gall, as he sees it, the gall to ask him about Hasan," Turkish said.

"Everything we hear from Abdul El-Sayed includes equivocation, and it includes equivocations to try to explain away hate, and there is no explaining away hate. And I predict to you that Michigan will reject this."

... Turkish is the second major figure from Stevens’ orbit to back Rogers in recent days. Her former campaign chair, attorney David Kramer, said Tuesday he also plans to vote for Rogers. Stevens endorsed El-Sayed after the primary but has not campaigned or appeared with him publicly since a unity breakfast shortly afterward.

Actually Abdul was named for Sir Edmund Hillary just like Hillary wasn't

In other words, if he's a lying sack of shit about something like this, he'll lie about anything.

 





Trump obviously has dual loyalties but Abdul doesn't?

Trump's loyalty to Putin has paved the way for people like Abdul on the other side.

Our politics is in shatters as a result. 

Abdul is a missile aimed straight at U.S. support for Israel on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Why is the hopeful first Muslim senator against U.S. support for Israel?

Because he knows that a defenseless Israel is a vulnerable Israel. It's anti-semitism dressed up as Trump's phony America First malarkey.  

As of October 11 the Jewish mayor of Lansing still hadn't endorsed Abdul. 

Lansing’s mayor still mulling whether to endorse El-Sayed for Senate 

Citing concerns about Israel, Lansing Mayor Andy Schor said he was still debating whether to back Abdul E-Sayed for U.S. Senate despite the two Democrats' private meeting on Friday.

... He pointed to two issues that he hopes to hear El-Sayed “expand upon" publicly.

One was El-Sayed's view on Israel’s right to exist, which El-Sayed has stopped short of embracing. The other was his position on U.S. military support to Israel to defend itself, which he emphatically opposes.

Schor said he didn’t know “yet” if he would endorse El-Sayed. ...

Real Clear Politics' predictions for the U.S. House and U.S. Senate three weeks out from Election 2026

Democrats should be doing much better than this given the outrageous transgressions of Trump and his party.

It's an index of the crazy candidates Democrats have offered as the alternative, who aren't exactly galvanizing support.

The two main political parties are mental.
