Help in my thinking.

Since the house is majority Republican, if they hold firm against any Radical agenda items then nothing can get passed correct?


That's optimistic.

Just look at the latest gun control that passed.

Maybe Mitch will convince Manchin to flip.


He tried at least one time before and failed. He’d probably have better luck with Sinema.

The Alaska winner will be one of the two Republicans in the race, so it is already in the GOP column.

If Walker wins (unlikely), the Senator count is 50:50, and the tie-break goes to the VP. Dems win.

Simply because we have 2-3 cucks in Senate that will consistently cave.
They represent Purple states that lean Blue. With them, the GOP gets the votes they need about 95% of the time.

Lose them, and they are likely replaced by Dems, and the GOP gets the votes 0% of the time.

You tolerate the 5% of the time that you wish they would vote differently.

Not always.

For example, John Cornyn.
