Dude… I had heard that Susan Crawford had a double digit lead when they had decided to call it… I did not realize that no, she is actually WINNING by double digits. Like more than half of all the votes left to count would have to go to Schimmel to drop it down below her winning by 10%. The vote ratio for the final two percent of the votes would have to flip the ratio of the rest of the state.
That is… a resounding loss. That’s the kind of loss that ends political careers forever.
For the record, Trump’s popular win that he crows about was by 1.5%. About a tenth the size of Susan Crawford’s lead.
More dirt to rub in the wound, Biden’s win over Trump was 4.4%.
And Trump’s equivalent over Clinton was a negative. -2.1%
In fact, the last Presidential race with that big a gap was Regan’s Re-election vs Mondale. Before that it was Nixon’s re-election.
Apparently, Republican victories in Florida, while quite robust, they knocked it out of the park with about ten times the size of Trump’s win. Unfortunately, their 15% victories yesterday, have to be compared to their 30% victories back in November. So big win AND down by half.
Last night was a VERY bad night for the Republican brand.
May it get worse.
