I mean, how can you not hate these leftist frickers? From cheering Charlie Kirks murder, to Mandami and AOC laughing at the 9/11 memorial today?

Even with all the headwinds on the economy and the war, I think the Republicans will hold the Senate at a minimum. Not because of anything Trump or the gop does, but because the democrats cant help themselves and will piss off all the normal people by election day.

They are completely incapable of acting sane or normal anymore. Imagine all the goofy shite they will do between now and election day.

Look at Texas. How can Communist, 6 Gender, Talerico even be considered. Who he beat in Democratic primary was bad but are Dems so desperate they will vote for someone who thinks its ok to mutilate young children.

Look at the Clancy trial. Every one of those people voting for innocent by reason of insanity did not think once of the 3 children that she murdered.

I hope those 11 have small children. Do you think they would hire Clancy to babysit them.

Hell no they wouldn't

This is the Democratic Party of the Communist. Talerico's realized how crazy he sounded and they have groomed him to lie to come center and almost look like he believes what he is saying to get elected.

This may be one of the most important races in America. If he gets elected here in Texas we are done.

Cornyn was not good but Paxton has a lot of baggage . We need to pull this one out or the gate is open for Pandora's box.

The problem is that they're very good at lying and convincing a large number of people to believe in their insane and absurd narratives. Take the example of Trump recently asking people to raise their hand and pledge to vote this November as if he himself was on the ballot. He was clearly joking around and his point was that when he himself is on the ballot the voter turnout is record breaking, but that when he isn't on the ballot the GOP doesn't turn out numbers nearly as well. So he was jokingly asking everyone to promise to vote as if he was on the ballot himself.

This was obvious to anyone who actually watched his speech. But the problem is, not many people actually watch speeches and prefer to get their snippets from the media. The media who twists everything he says into something that sounds insane (literally Hitler, guys!) and idiots lap it up like brainwashed sheep. Enough so that some idiot made a thread on it right here and the idiocy of the thread received dozens of upvotes in support. On a site that is supposedly 3/4 conservative or more.

That's a lot of words to simply say, "don't discount how stupid the American public is at large and how effective the propaganda machine is." People need to get out and vote in November.

And this is the problem with conservatives. Having the right policies isn't good enough. We demand our politicians to also be pure of heart in a field that attracts scum.

Until these pure conservatives decide to run for office themselves, we're stuck with the choices we have. Don't throw out the good we can build on because the candidate has "baggage" unrelated to his voting habits.

Conservatives are more concerned with Paxton's affairs than the times he sued the federal government to protect us from overreach.

Conservatives have a nasty habit of instantly forgetting any good while dwelling on the negative, even when relatively unimportant.

You go with the best you have while striving for better. You don't abandon hope because what you have isn't perfect.

Conservatives really need to change their mindset. Too many see obstacles as a reason to become despondent and give up instead of gaining determination to push forward.

At the very least, we have a secure border with Trump. Borders are the foundation of a nation. Let's take that foundation and build on it instead of throwing it away because the path has been rocky.

Even conservatives will admit the country has steadily moved left for decades. What they won't admit is their mindset allowed it happen. Our forefathers had the fighting spirit, but modern conservatives seem to have lost it.

(Unless we're talking about Trump vs anti-Trump. We all love fighting that battle more than we will probably admit, even though all it does it harm our cause.)

There are currently seven toss ups, plus one outright loss. The Republicans must win 3 of the seven tossups to have 50. You tell me which of these you think the Republicans will win.

1. NC. This isn't even a toss up. Cooper is very popular former governor and is kicking Whatley's arse. No fricking way. The Dems pick this one up.
2. ME. Susan Collins? Maybe she can hang on, but she trails every poll, and many in Maine won't forgive her for (thankfully) voting to confirm Kavanaugh.
3. OH...They elected Sherrod Brown once before, and again, he leads in all polls. I think this one's over.
4. AK...Peltola leads, and remember, Lisa Murkowski was basically a Democrat masquerading as a Republican anyway.
5. NH...Sununu is popular and was a Senator before. I actually think he has a decent chance of winning.
6. MI...It's Michigan. You don't think the Muslim is going to win this one? I hope you're right.
7. TX...is there any more that needs to be said? It's Texas. Paxton shouldn't need a sudden infusion of cash from Trump in order to be ahead.
8. IA...This one the Republicans should hold.

So of those seven, factoring in that NC is a lost cause, I think the three best chances for the Republicans are IA, NH, and TX. I think TX and MI are coin flips. Having more dirt come out about Talarico and El-Sayed would be helpful.

Yeah, well, guess what. Trump being on the ballot causes Democrats to turn out in record numbers also.

Trump is too fricking egotistical and too narcissistic...and perhaps just too stupid...to grasp that putting him on the ballot puts his fricking war and all time record high diesel prices on the ballot. Do you want record turnout coming to vote with that on the ballot? I sure as hell don't.

None of them have explained what they stand for other than hating Trump.

It’s their only platform.

Unless you count Transhysteria, Fake Outrage, Open Borders, everyone is Gay.

This highlights also how bad so many candidates are in this Country too.

The loonies are organized and winning because of this.

Forget Trump.. the list of GOP candidates is impressively bad

Honestly why would any Conservative voter give a shite who wins? They already handed the Republicans complete control of the government and they did what they always do -- nothing. Wait, I take that back, they still held their hand out and asked you for campaign money to "stop the liberal agenda".

The most reliable group of Republican voters is dying off, and the people you need to replace them are becoming so disenfranchised with our political system that its hard to imagine the GOP winning anything.

Trump was the anti-candidate. He is the President you get when enough Americans are tired of the way the government operates. He will have had 8 years, and when he leaves, the state of the government will be no different. If anything, his presidency just confirmed what many younger voters already thought -- voting is useless because we'll still dump money into foreign wars, still tax you to death (and even after it), and still enrich the people that are are doing it to us.

That's a rediculous take. Trump stopped or reversed a lot of fricking up that was going on. The feckless congress did frick all to codify any of it. He did a lot of good, albiet temporarily.

The democrat and marxist politicians are able to do exactly what you described because the MSM (Lying Media) will not call them out. The Lying Media (MSM) is in bed with the democrat and marxist politicians.

Even now, because the democrat and marxist politicians have no money, the MSM (Lying Media) provides "free ads" through their shows such as The View, Jimmy Kimmel Live, even ESPN, just to name a few.

Thanks 10 wheel, my gripe with the "conservatives" who think someone has to be pure as the driven snow. I think its more akin to the following.

In the movie Moneyball Brad Pitt wants to trade for a kid "because he gets on base". One of the scouts says, that aint a great idea the guy smokes a lot of weed and hangs out at strip clubs. Brad Pitt responds "Im not trading for him so we can go party, Im trading for him......because he gets on base.

Or a real life example, Ulysses S Grant had a commanding officer who would send complaint letters to Lincoln regarding Grant. The truth was he was intimidated by his skills. After a victory at Ft Donelson, by Grant, his commanding officer sent another letter to Lincoln saying "he feared Grant had taken to the bottle again".

Fed up Lincoln sent him back a letter and said "I suggest you ask Grant his brand and buy one for the rest of your reports......since he seems to be the only one winning under your command".

Perhaps these individuals who want "a good candidate" would be overjoyed with Newsom, he dresses right, talks right, has the wife and kids, loves everyone, and good looking, in their mind he must be the ideal candidate.

He was just typing out what he was listening to on cnn.

Reminds me 40 years ago standing in line to vote, this jackass in front of me was voting for Clinton because "he was popular" and he wanted to vote for a winner.

I just looked at the guy, discussing voting while in a line to vote is something only a jackass would do. He said, you are voting for Bush, you know he will lose. I said maybe so, but Im voting anyway so people like you will know people like me are still around.
