If only winning both would actually give the rino “leadership” the kick in the pants that’s needed to get stuff done, but they’ll take it as the electorate is ok with the status quo.

Thune needs to be voted out day one, and Johnson needs to be voted on again to see if it’ll wake his weak arse up.

Kalshi now projects the House races for 2026 prohibitively favor a Democratic majority, and now project the Senate will flip Democratic by a 56%-45% likelihood.

The notion that "it looks difficult for Democrats to win the House or Senate" this year is just a tiny fringe element, certainly not mainstream among CNN or consensus forecasts.

i'll never understand that. winning a little is better than losing everything


My sentiments exactly. It may not be who we want in there, but it is still infinitely better than a party that is openly and loudly promoting Socialism.

I think most people understand that though. What you are getting a lot of on this board is actual progressives, playing like they are just conservative never Trumpers. To me, the ones that are legit conservative, but constantly bash Trump and will stay at home.....these are the actual dumbest ones out there. That's why I say they are really progressives just playing a part...or they are THAT dumb

Would you like to wager on the D’s flipping both?

You aren't trying to be logical with that freak Tarzana are you? She thinks the Marxist in Texas will win by 30 points.

“I don’t think it’s even remotely debatable that America is a worse place now than it has been literally any other time this century”

2-6 years ago comes to mind.

I hope and pray republicans keep both the House and Senate and even somehow gain a bigger majority but I expect democrats to win. Trump is just doing too many retarded things right now and prices are not coming down for me to be confident in a GOP victory.

They are the worst. I held my nose and voted a lot GOPe dirt bags. Look what the Dems do when they have power. I little higher fuel costs is better than an all out invasion or living under the Quran.

That's certainly what the polling data suggests-- 88% - 12% likelihood the House becomes Democratic, and a 57% - 43% Democratic flip in the Senate, according to Kalshi markets

I used to care, back when I thought my actions mattered. Back when I co-founded a chapter of College Republicans in 1983. We do not matter. Even our sacred vote no longer matters. It will be subverted/discounted. It’s a club and you’re not in it.

Odd given that Kalshi is currently over 50% for a Dem sweep (which honestly shocked me)


Kalshi traders are often influenced by political polls that may themselves be biased or designed to affect voting behavior which is by Kalshi as an indicator is often wrong on because those Fox News polls and others out there which are notoriously terrible cause traders to bet on bad news thinking its the right outcome.

What? The market is at all time highs and inflation is below the 50 year average. In what way is America worse? So much so that it isn’t debatable…

You do realize that Kalshi is not a real metric … it’s solely based on emotions.
