Tulsi's JRE appearance just dropped. I know what I'll be listening to on the treadmill tonight. Not a huge Rogan guy, but I really enjoy it when he has interesting guests.

Vance is going to win Ohio
Warnock is going to win Georgia
Fetterdude is going to win Pennsylvania
Laxalt is going to win Nevada

50/50 tie will remain
Republicans will take the House with approximately 230 seats.

These are my election 2022 predictions.

I think the Republicans flip 1 seat (Nevada)
Democrats end up flipping 3 states - Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin
Meaning Warnock holds Georgia for the Ds and Budd keeps North Carolina in Republican hands

Also guessing the GOP flips the house, but only with a 10-seat majority

Another wildcard is the Utah senate seat - you've got a MAGA Republican running against independent Evan McMullin who would still caucus with Republicans but not nearly be as batshit crazy in the process. Also not an election denier like Lee or Ron Johnson.

[GoMuskies]

Vance is going to win Ohio by like 8 points. Johnson is more likely to lose than Vance, but he's polling ahead, which means he's likely to win. Apparently he was behind in 29 of 30 polls in his last Senate election (and still won, obviously).

[GoMuskies]

I suspect McMullin loses by 10 points in Utah. Pretty good for an independent, but people who claimed to support him in polls will either hold their nose and vote for Lee or stay away.

Team Vance now.

When did you get on team Vance? You supported his opponent in the primary. He called trump "America;s Hitler" before kissing his ass. Trump laughed at him at the Youngstown rally. Guess you think if you beat your wife she should stay with you. Are you an election denier or a rhino?

Yes, I supported Matt Dolan. The people spoke. Vance won the primary. Vance is solid and consistent in his positions. He didn’t like Trump personally but he did support his policies. Sooooo…
He beats Tim Ryan, who’s district has lost 50,000 jobs in Two Faced Tim’s 20 years in the House. He also lies (like most career pols)
Not hard to understand.

Biden now threatens the Saudis for recent cut in oil production. Says higher oil prices benefits Russian war effort.

How about this Joe, take the shackles off our domestic production and increase global supply!!!

No, F the ridiculous soaring energy prices for the American people and our allies. Go ahead and allow our enemies benefit from increased profits.

The "Greenies" have a really tight grip on his nut sack. What a dangerous buffoon.

John Fetterman in Pennsylvania is literally Shotgun Frankenstein.
Sorry for his stroke, but this guy cannot process simple conversation. He should drop out for his health but he won't.
Even without his stroke, he's s charlatan and a racist. His tenure as mayor of Braddock, PA was horrifically inept. How anybody with any sense could vote for this guy is ludicrous.
