I am holding my breathe on whether Republicans will have the fortitude to abandon the 3 times loser Trump. I remember those cowards who blame Trump for the attacked on the Capitol and then subsequently folded into the embrace of Trump. Cowards like Kevin McCarthy, Lindsey Graham and few others who condemned harshly and later say that the attack were legitimate political discourse. So far, the push back by Republicans have been luke warm and DeSantis has not even rebut directly to Trump's ugly accusation on him. They are still scared of Trump and his fanatical base. Will have to see how the GOP will ostracize Trump in involving in the party politics. Tough but only sensible pathway if they have any hope for 2024.

Correspondingly the Baht appreciate expecting a return to positive current account.

IMHO youth portion of the electorate turned up with concerns for climate change and abortion rights. Millennium was concerned with guns control issues and political integrity while the older voters concerns were for the depolarization of society and the erosion of democracy. I am simply proud of American voters who understand the importance of this midterm election and prevented the county falling into an abyss.

Other developed countries have centralize election law and popular vote.

Can’t get the business finished promptly due to the fact that election in US is decentralized and each states has their own election law.

There are election laws in every states that have to be followed and that process delayed the results. Never mind, you will never understand and casting convenient blame is easier. https://www.npr.org/2022/11/08/1134235552/midterm-election-results-pre-canvassing-ballot-processing https://www.npr.org/2022/11/11/1136085626/arizona-counting-ballots-vote-tallying-maricopa-county

AZ Secretary of State election Mark Finchem project to lose. Another extreme far right election denier bite the dust.

Latest. CNN projected winner for AZ senate race will be Kelly. Should be done and dusted. Another Trump endorsed candidate hit the dust by a wide margin.

You are in the 2nd stage of grief - anger. Lashing out aimlessly and can't think rationally. You will get over it. Trump has been dumped even by his own party.

What a lowlife. Melania not spared in his blame all but not himself tirade. https://www.salon.com/2022/11/09/wounded-is-furious-and-blaming-melania-for-his-decision-to-endorse-oz-report_partner/

He believe that climate change is man made. That will not sit well with the maga base.

Unfortunately this ain't politics as usual. Trump will never see himself as useless in his egostistical fantasy. He will go scorched earth on the GOP and it doesn;t matter to him that he is giving the advantage to the Democrats. The GOP better prayed that jail time for Trump will come sooner.

Trump not a happy camper infuriated with the results and blaming everyone except himself. Even Sean Hannity was not spared in his blame game. Looks like he is sticking around for the duration and dashing GOP chances in 2024. Maybe Trump is Dem’s Trojan horse.

Exactly. If the RP cant unite their base, Republican voters may be disillusioned and not turn up for the 2024 election giving the advantage to the DP.

Will Trump’s loyal base love him or blame him for the preventing his comeback. After all the bile spewed by Trump at DeSantis, the well has been poisoned and may be difficult for Desantis to inherit Trump’s base unless Trump concede and call for his base to switch support for DeSantis. Am I dreaming? Looking forward to a bitter and ugly primary.

Trump has whipped his supporters into a cult and will be difficult for them to move away as long as he is still breathing. Not wishing for his demise but that's the reality. The Congressional Maga faction will have to take the cue from these cult supporters and will unlikely to change to typical conservative Republicans. Trump has created a monster that has tens of millions of followers who worship his greed, criminalty and cruelty. It will be hard to dismantle such a fanatical group. It's a Republican Party dilemma that will take a long time to morph back to the party of Reagan.

I think most Republicans in the leadership echelon know what went wrong. The dilemma for them is how to manage Trump and his fire brand far right lawmakers MAGA squad like Greene, Matt Gaetz and others hard-core pro Trump congressional faction. Kevin McCarthy seem scared of Greene and Steve Scalise as Republican whip is giving the Maga squad a wide berth. I think Republican will unlikely to be united going into 2024 which will give the Dems an advantage. The Dems bench is full of very talented potentials.

Yes only Fetterman can turn those red counties blue.

Biden surprised many pundits even with so much headwinds and yet emerged in much better shape than either of his Democratic predecessors, Barrack Obama and Bill Clinton, both took a hammering at the midterm. This midterm election will be remembered more about the Republican Party not able to seize the moment for a landslide victory and the Trump's gamble that didn't pay off. Trump now has the dishonour of presiding over 2 disastrous midterm elections. He should take the cue and stay out of politics.

There is only one that is way beyond that qualification.

Trump will not like this editorial from Fox. The biggest loser? Donald Trump, whose hand-picked loyalist candidates in a number of races struggled to beat vulnerable Democrats. Once again, the former president may have cost Republicans control of the senate, in a year when it was theirs to lose.

McConnell was right to say that candidate quality could blow party's chances for senate control. Trump takes the full blame for the loss.

DeSantis and probably Greg Abott are the rising superstars in the Republican Party after their impressive mid-term victory. The momentum is with these 2 men while Trump will become a fading dying star with most of his endorsements ending up in smoke. Those a..kisser allies and mega donors may now take a pause to evaluate their investments. The narcissism in him tell me that he will run and will be a wrecking ball scorched earth attempt that will do him and the party no good. Being convicted and behind bars will be his saving grace.

Moderna and Pfizer have their up-to-date bivalent vaccines called Moderna/Spikevax and Pfizer's Comirnaty respectively which will provide better protection against newer Covid-19 variants including Omicron. Singapore MOH has approved both vaccines and made available to the population. I called up a private hospital in Bangkok to enquire of their availability and was told that they were non available at the present moment. Perhaps pending approval. Hope both new vaccines will be available soon.

He will do what he want to do. Who really care. His primaries wouldn't be a cake walk and will be even more bitter than 2016 and will split the party even more.
