Meanwhile, GOP Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger —
who famously resisted Trump’s entreaties to “find”
enough votes to flip the outcome of the 2020 contest —
cruised to victory with 53% of the vote!
Raffensperger attributed his victory to his refusal to buckle to Trump and accept his bogus claims about the election.
@Europa
What is your take on DeSantis winning MIAMI-DADE County by 11% ?? First time in over 20 years for GOP.
DeSantis is going to STEAM ROLL whatever candidate put up against him. Florida will only get stronger over these next two years. Trump now needs to disappear out of the lime light as his "brand" is only poison to whatever political candidate he aligns with.
MAF 2024
I like Biden to run again, only the aging issue would hold me back a little. I suppose he will be the nominee from Democrats if he chooses to go for the 2nd term. One stalwart dark horse could come from the current Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg.
so no more MAGA lunacy ??
excellent choice 
One stalwart dark horse could come from the current Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg.
"Mayor Pete"
Buttigieg is a graduate of Harvard College and the University of Oxford, attending the latter on a Rhodes Scholarship.
From 2009 to 2017, he was an intelligence officer in the United States Navy Reserve.
He was mobilized and deployed to the War in Afghanistan for seven months in 2014 and was part of a unit assigned to identify and disrupt terrorist finance networks.
The Democrat was elected to serve two terms as mayor of South Bend from 2012-2020, a republican state.
mayor pete !

Trump Reportedly 'Livid' And 'Screaming At Everyone' Over Election Results
HUFFPOST -
Though Trump wasn’t on the ballot, more than one-morning headline dubbed him the election’s BIGGEST LOSER.
Democrats outperformed Republican nominees he endorsed, and voters largely rejected candidates who parroted his election-denying rhetoric.
To add fuel to the fire, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ? Trump’s likely rival for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024 ? won reelection convincingly, despite attacks and threats from Trump.
He's done some good and some bad. He handled Covid well, then got backlash from the MAGAts. Some dumb things like only needing 1 license plate on vehicle and gun stuff are just plain stupid, but typical R stuff.
Well, if you're counting on Trump to do that you are not aware of who he is He'll burn the entire party down before backing down
Trump Mocks Ron DeSantis
During Lie-Filled Pennsylvania Rally
The former president indicated on Saturday that the gloves
will come off if the Florida governor decides to challenge him
for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination
Donald Trump has a new nickname for potential 2024 rival
Ron DeSantis. The former president christened the Florida
governor “Ron DeSanctimonious”
Well, if you're counting on Trump to do that you are not aware of who he is
He'll burn the entire party down before backing down
Yup! I agree. His ego is bigger than the proverbial elephant in the room. And he likely owns the record for being most vindictive person in America. He'll hold rallies to mock or condemn, and tell LIES about challengers including DeSantis. Then he'll get nasty! LOL!
The GOP vs. GOP mudslinging could be EPIC! 
Did you truly say stalwart?
Very well said on Pete, he could be the Democrat's front runner if Pres. Biden doesn't run for his 2nd term. Two years is still a long way from now in politics, we shall see.
Trump vs DeSantis, seems familiar back in the 2016 GOP presidential primaries when Trump humiliated Ted Cruz, mocked Marco Rubio and Carly Fiorina.
The US monthly budget deficit
dropped to $88 billion in October,
- down 47% for the year!!

The Biden government recorded a monthly budget deficit of just $88 billion in October. That’s 47% lower than the October 2021 deficit!!
During October, which is the first month for the government’s 2023 fiscal year, unadjusted Gov't spending dropped 9% to $406 billion
and revenues increased 12% to $319 billion.
....DESPITE all the funding sent to Ukraine that republicans are whining about!
Stocks soar in best day since 2020
after new data shows inflation eased
CNN BUSINESS -
Investors cheered the development as an indication that the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes may finally be cooling inflation.
- the Dow rose 1,203 points, or 3.7%,
- the S&P 500 was up 5.5%,
- while Nasdaq was 7.3% higher!
That marked the biggest point gain for the Dow and also the biggest percentage jumps for the S&P and Nasdaq since spring 2020.
* cue the chronic partisan whiners with their typical negativity
"wE'rE nOt In A rEcEsSiOn"
