    Are you willing to do so on the reverse of that?

    Of course.

    Right here, right now I say the loser has to be gone for a full month.

    I say the Dems will keep control of one of the two, you say they will lose both.

    Bearing false witness is a most grievous sin.

    Make sure you add the caveat of them being seated — or he will just pull the “trump won” card and deny it

    I agree, I think Republicans will regain the House but fail to pick up the Senate.
    Oh I hope there are a few SCOTUS vacancies... (retirements of course)

    The only SCOTUS that may be leaving soon is a Democrat and only because of old age.

    Last person to make that bet said he/she would permanently leave if Trump won. Said person is still here. Goes by the name of Andrew Jackson.

    It's impossible to enforce such a bet online.

    No. I’ll leave for a month if the GOP gets back neither of the two federal houses and you leave if the Dems fail to hold onto both. That’s the only deal I’ll make. A split of control means we both stay.

    The audits will eventually once completed show otherwise. Too late to change anything for 2020 of course.

    You're right there, both major parties get very low favorable's and high unfavorable's. Today, it's the republican party that has slightly the lower favorable and high unfavorable's. But these numbers are dynamic and change constantly. Tomorrow it could be reversed.

    But the bottom line is neither major party is liked much. It seems more and more Americans are getting tired of both parties putting their party above the country. More and more Americans are becoming independents as both major parties shrink. In 2006, independents made up 30% of the electorate, today, independents have risen to 41%. The sad part of all of this, all the power still lies with the two major parties.

    Your claim was the GOP would take them both back. Now you are walking that back.

    My work here is done

    I believe that we will. However I am not a betting person. I realize we have to defend many more senate seats in 2022 than the Dems do so taking back the senate is a longer shot unless it’s a 1994 or 2014 election rather than a 2010 type. I’m not staying away from here if we do like we did in 2010.

    Mayor, wow.
    Anchorage is 1/3 the size of Boston.
    Hardly a bellwether.

    The GOP as we know it today is "DEAD" - like the Passage in James 2 - "Faith without works" / "Faith Alone" is Dead / Useless.
    The GOP of today hates Republicanism .. what's not to dislike ?

    On the other side - like a tribe of zombies - the party that hates Classical Liberalism.

    It is a clownshow on both sides - and it is the Citizens who will suffer.

    It also has never been the stronghold of any party, it always goes back and forth

    Ex-President Donald Trump on Tuesday night ranted about Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance reportedly convening a special grand jury to consider potential criminal charges in his investigation into the Trump Organization.

    Prosecutor in Trump criminal probe convenes grand jury to hear evidence, weigh potential charges
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...47911c-bcca-11eb-83e3-0ca705a96ba4_story.html

    NEW YORK — Manhattan's district attorney has convened the grand jury that is expected to decide whether to indict former president Donald Trump, other executives at his company or the business itself, should prosecutors present the panel with criminal charges, according to two people familiar with the development.

    The panel was convened recently and will sit three days a week for six months. It is likely to hear several matters — not just the Trump case — during its term, which is longer than a traditional New York state grand-jury assignment, these people said. Like others, they spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation. Generally, special grand juries such as this are convened to participate in long-term matters rather than to hear evidence of crimes charged routinely.


    Vance is one step closer to filing an indictment.
    More winning for Republicans, Party stays strong. ???????????????

    The Presidents party losing in the midterms is the rule rather than the exception.

    Advantage: GOP.
