The US House is the boringest place to be a politician. To rectify this I suggest that the Hon. Candidates for Speaker be required to just bludgeon their rivals to death with House furnishings. Last one standing gets the job

Despite the House GOP circus and Trump being generally evil, a bunch of GE polling just came out that was either tied or with Trump ahead. I simply cannot comprehend the absolute madness, depravity, stupidity, or all three, that it would take to choose that outcome in 2024. And it's a coin flip that we might get it. I might need to stop doomscrolling, it's taking the fun out of the Speaker antics.

What do Republicans hate Mike Johnson for? I was thinking he might be it because he is a Trumper but a nerd instead of an attention whore type.

I'd be more scared of polling like this if it was happening next year after all the primaries are done and the Biden vs. Trump race is in full swing. People aren't really paying close attention to 2024 right now. Most of these recent polls have tons of undecideds and voters who would prefer neither of them.

I simply cannot comprehend the absolute madness, depravity, stupidity, or all three, that it would take to choose that outcome in 2024. And it's a coin flip that we might get it. I think it's extremely unlikely that the presidential race will be as close as current polling is suggesting, and even more unlikely that Trump will win. Consider that these polls suggesting ties or Trump winning are actually suggesting that Trump will tie or win the popular vote. How likely do you think that this time, finally, Trump of all people will be the rare Republican that pulls this off? Democrats have been overperforming in special elections consistently by an average of 11 points. There is a strong correlation between winning special elections and winning the general election, and much less of a correlation between polling one year out and who wins the general election. https://abcnews.go.com/538/democrats-winning-big-special-elections/story?id=103315703 Republicans barely won a majority in 2022 when it was supposed to be a slam dunk for them while polling suggested huge Republican gains. small butter fucked around with this message at 04:22 on Oct 25, 2023 |

To look at the 2024 GE over a year in advance is a fool's errand. If you were asking what the biggest issue of the 2020 GE was to someone in 2019, nobody would say COVID-19 because nobody had heard of it yet.
