You will get what you voted for. "For the first time in four elections, independent voters went for the party in power, not out of power. For the first time in a very long time, a sizable portion of the GOP voted Democrat".

Eric, the main problem, as I view it, is that Republicans were poorly prepared for this election, as was the case in in Loeffler/Perdue races.
The Dems figured out that it takes more than paying costly consultants and running constant radio and TV ads.
#1 if you plan to win, you not only have to excite your anticipated voters, be they Republicans, independents, and Democrats. Attacking the Democrats is good, to a point, but drop attack ads two weeks prior to the election. Then start running ads explain what the candidate plans to do if elected.
#2 Perhaps this should be tied with #1: get a REAL ground game going early and do not stop until about three hours before the polls close. The GOP claimed they had a ground game. They didn't.
You must identify and contact them. If you need to spend $20-million to pay people to go door-to-door, do it. Cut the ad budget by $10 million on a House race and $45 million on a Senate race. It's more complex than that but I'm trying to hit on the basics.
Erick, during the last part of your 2nd hour on radio today, you took a call from an independent voter who voted for Kemp, but then voted for Warnock. She explained, I believe, that she wants to see the GOP divest itself of Trump. I understand her thinking but voting for Warnock is giving the Democrats a thumbs-up. How can we help get Walker across the line, Dec. 6th? The shenanigans the Democrats will do for two years if they can get rid of the fillibuster will be horrid. A 50-50 Senate with some sane help from a few sane Democrats is better than a 51-49, Dem-Repub Senate, I believe. What must Walker do in the few short weeks remaining? Chuck Schumer is already claiming that the Democrats have a 'mandate', which if facts ever intervened is a silly assertion.
Erick, all this speculation is fine and dandy. But you forgot to mention the big elephant in the room: MONEY! Maybe a couple of hundred million that was hidden through various entities and doled out around the country to Dem candidates. One big piece of evidence is Mark Kelly's 75 million $ spent in Arizona versus poor Blake Masters' 9 mil. Where did the money come from? Google FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, and the relationship with money flowing from US Taxpayers to Ukraine to FTX to SBF's many organizations to the Democrat Party. If this unholy alliance is true, and it looks increasingly so, then it boils down to the US taxpayer financing the Democratic Party in the 2022 Midterms to save their miserable asses.
What are your thoughts on Jon Burns in the Georgia House? Does school choice face a better path forward in Georgia with Ralston no longer in leadership?
I don't want Trump to be the nominee in 2024 either. However, if the conclusion is that in order to win, we have to elect "republicans" who go along with the democrats most of the time, stick with the establishment which promises that this time it will be different and they will actually kind of head back towards the constitution, then sit on their hands, and who will not take a stand against some of the most egregious ills of the country, then, no, let the democrats burn it down. They are close anyhow.
"Independent voters really are tired of the chaos and were afraid Republican candidates would introduce even more chaos."
With the inflation initiated with J Biden's EOs on 1-20-2021 there will be a big ravaging economic chaos yet to come. The economic destruction forthcoming, the Repubs can then be thankful, that the said tsunami of chaos will be placed upon the Dems front porch. Today Amazon said will be laying off about 10K people. That is the tip of the berg. Disney putting out APBs also.
Other companies will be following soon. Some Bank failure's will be coming soon also. Can you now connect the dots and prepare accordingly? The Fat lady still has not sung. Selah
Erick and the people on here please I implore you please wake up. Those that say we have and free and fair elections are you serious? As I said in a response to someone on here if you are saying there is no cheating then you are saying this country is finished. We have a President with dementia and Pennsylvania elected an invalid. Either Democrats are stupid morons or there was cheating? There is no other option. Which is it? I choose to believe my eyes and hears and choose to apply critical thinking.
Everyone is waking up Doug. They are realizing that Trump is to toxic to win. It is time to move on. The exit data shows that. I understand your passion protecting Trump. I still defend him too when people are talking nasty about him, but it is time to move on to someone new.
Did you read the column carefully, or just quickly skim it and decided that you disagreed? There were valid reasons for voters to vote as they did, and in most cares the margins by which Republicans lost seats that they expected to hold or flip were much too great to be a function of cheating and corruption. I agree with almost if Eric’s analysis, although in some cars would change the emphasis. If the R’s followed his suggestions , they would improve their chances for 2024 tremendously. Stop relitigating the past , use the next two years to present a positive agenda with specifics rather than generalities, and nominate someone who is a uniter rather than a divider like Trump( who I voted for because of his policies but who is a toxic narcissist) whose Jan 6th performance alone will cause me never to vote for him again for any office higher than chief resided of Mar a Lago.
Control your paranoia. I neither called you a nut or said that there was no cheating. I said that after a carful reading I agreed with Eric’s analysis. And whether you believe it or not, I did vote for Trump and his choices for the Supremes made that vote worthwhile. And Biden and his woke puppet masters have been even worse and more incompetent than I expected. But as my friend Newt said in response to the unexpected and disappointing results , the first thing to do should be to examine what we did wrong iand learn from it since it should have been a Red Wave and in retrospect many of the losses were the result of the specific candidates and their messaging being rejected by the voters. If there is a conspiracy that concerns me, it is not corrupt election officials but the bankrupt MSM whose members constantly are putting their thumbs on the scale as advocates for the Dems rather than retaining any objectivity. Hopefully you agree wit( that opinion. That is why Elon Musk freeing Twitter is their worst nightmare if he can get it right.
Feels like the Empire is firmly in control. Fascinating voter behavior. I think we fail to recognize the horrendous persuasion influence of a biased mainstream corporate media. It seems that maybe democracy is dead as we no longer have a news media, but a propaganda arm of the Democrat political apparatus.
I debate Manhattan moderates and they are generally quite uninformed about many things that would paint the Biden Democrats and Democrats in general as the reckless hazards they are. For example, the deny there is a crisis at the southern border. They deny that inflation is bad and that it is caused by corporations over-charging customers and not Biden Democrat over-spending and forcing energy costs to skyrocket. They deny that there is an increase in crime.
They read the NYT and watch NPR. Their social media feeds are tuned by the algorithms to feed them ideologically-confirming memes.
They are so far gone that their heads explode with criticism of what they claim to know.
So just a few months ago 8 out of 10 anti-Trump incumbent Republicans lost their election. But then after more evidence of Biden Democrat destruction and incompetence, they changed their minds?
Im shocked at everyone on here ignoring the reality. The Dems do in fact have a much better machine than the republicans, however their machine is blatantly corrupt. Does anyone truly believe it should require States more than 2 days and in some cases more than a week to count votes? Should a State be allowed to accept 100,000's of ballots before candidates have their first and only debate? (Fetterman/Oz). Are we all going to sit back and accept the media lies when they claim heavily leaning republican districts are voting Democrat because they dont want to change the status quo? Yet, for the past 6 months every single poll in America showed 74% of the population agreed the country was headed in the wrong direction. Why then would you vote again for the party in control of sending us in the wrong direction? Please stop accepting the establishment word speak and start questioning the blatant corruption. And finally Trump does need to walk away!! And by the way what ever happened to the J6 committee?
With ballot harvesting, massive mail-in voting, elections that drag on for weeks, no universal voter ID and the lawsuits filed during voting to persuade judges to help them cheat legally, I don't know how I will ever have confidence in our election system again. It is an unacceptable situation for vote counting to take so long in Arizona and Nevada. Their combined population is less than Florida's total pop. In PA, a judge ruled that they had to accept ballots until Nov. 14th. The Fetterman camp filed suit asking a judge to allow ballots that were not dated or dated incorrectly be counted. This was after the PA Supreme Court had already ruled against counting these ballots. Moves like this are what I call cheating legally...done out in the open for God and everybody to see. Just think of what's being done that we can't see.
You should be banned and not allowed to state your opinion since you imply there is voting corruption. Obviously there is nothing wrong with our voting system...or as I keep hearing, not *enough* wrong with it alter the outcome.
I can’t believe that it’s basically up to Herschel to maintain the status quo in the Senate. Maybe that will be enough to get some people to vote for him. I have to imagine another senate candidate would have been able to use Kemp’s coattails to take them across the line. If my numbers are correct, it looks like all major statewide races were won by Republicans by approximately the same margins, 53% to 45,46%. Except for Herschel.
And please, Trump, stay away from GA and maybe you can delay your candidacy announcement until after the run off.
You will get what you voted for. "For the first time in four elections, independent voters went for the party in power, not out of power. For the first time in a very long time, a sizable portion of the GOP voted Democrat".

In Arizona the people are demanding a recount. If you can’t see the cheating you are blind.
Amen to all of this!

And they al just get richer and richer. McConnell and Schumer are laughing at all of us.

Im sorry. Ill never question the authorities again. Does anyone have an extra mask? And do you know when the 8th booster will be available?
What are your thoughts on Jon Burns in the Georgia House? Does school choice face a better path forward in Georgia with Ralston no longer in leadership?

So I’m a nut for believing there’s cheating but you bring up January 6th. Spare me. Your the nut my friend and I highly doubt you voted for Trump.
Control your paranoia. I neither called you a nut or said that there was no cheating. I said that after a carful reading I agreed with Eric’s analysis.

Money, money is the other option. See my post elsewhere. When you have enough money available you don't have to cheat, you simply buy the election.
