By “election” cycles you mean “voting”?

Yes, extremely “ bad off”.

Like they did this when they were in the majority. They just have better coverage and excuses now for doing nothing and collecting their checks from their cooperate donors.

meh, the House pubs will fare better than the Senate pubes if they can get McCarthy to stop acting like a little bitch and fall in line more with resistors like Gaetz and rising stars like Boebert.

Yes, the establishment swamp donkeys are in their favorite spot. They can saber rattled, but not do anything else.

The Senate races next cycle are currently 2/3 republican seats, so a lot less room for a pick up and a lot more room for error.

The state legislature are stacked for the Reps. We should have some good talent coming off the bench that is more aligned with Trump's policies than Uniparty policies.

We've been talking about this for awhile on this site.
The Rep bench is deep. This should start paying dividends.

Yup, its not just republicans it will be anything that stands in their way. They will continue until their enemies are completely wiped out.

- President
- Senate
- House
- Control the key areas for election counting
<<<<<<< You are here
- Defund Red/Swing States/Areas with regulation/pulling funds... oil/gas states will be first, they are easy
- Stack Supreme Court
- Crush Red/Swing States into Submission until the required number of States are obtained
- Constitution Convention to redraft the Constitution as they see fit.... complete destruction of State and personal Rights

They are only beginning, all the people that supported Trump or voted for Trump are public enemy #1 and yes they do have their names.

The war is over, imo. The red/swing areas/states still don't understand there is a war, and its basically over. Let alone understand the new weapons of war.

I told you guys back in the Fall that Trump better not fail or you'll feel like you have been fricked by a train in very short order.

They have no idea.

They could be close to 40 seats in the Senate. They’ll definitely lose seats in the Senate.

I think Republicans took it as a calculated loss to get rid of Trump. They aren't stupid.

with 75% of republicans still supporting Trump it's a horrible calculation. They are betting the house on a long shot to win in the 5th, and that horse isn't even going to show.

Elections are irrelevant when you have machines switching votes.

Unfortunately, most conservatives/Republicans have notoriously short attentions spans.

There's also the fact of the uniparty. It's a heads we win, tails you lose scenario. Assuming conservatives bow out for ten years and don't vote, what does this country look like?

They manufactured a stolen election without even a serious candidate. They did it right in front of us. They were all paid up on the right people. They knew exactly how Trump would respond. And got away with it.

They knew what they were doing. And no, they're not stupid. They're just on the other side and playing us.

It's not attention span. It's that the GOPe leadership purposely forces a choice between a hard-core Dem and a GOPe candidate. They use RNC funding to prop up their guy and he pretends to be a reasonable Conservative. So, conservative-minded people reluctantly vote for the GOPe candidate as the lesser of two evils. The GA runoff shows the limits of this GOPe strategy.

I think many people now realize both parties are selling us out so this cycle will be interesting -- especially the primaries. Will we push for change? Or, forget these lessons and accept the well-funded GOPe candidate.

Its what they want. They don't want to be leading the country just following and fundraising by telling everyone how bad the dems are.

I love this quote from comrade Romney:

quote:

"For any who remain insistent on an audit in order to satisfy the many people who believe that the election was stolen, I'd offer this perspective: No congressional audit is ever going to convince these voters, particularly when the president will continue to say the election was stolen," Romney said. "The best way we can show respect for the voters who were upset is by telling them the truth."


So basically the truth is, the people that think the election was rigged will never believe it wasn't legit so we aren't going to look into it.

I may vote for Kennedy. That's it.

This is what I'm talking about. Also the Trump factor and who he backs and do his supports still follow his lead or do they stay home and give the Dems the win. No matter how you look at it the GOPe has made a bad gamble by joining in with the fringe left in the name of "unity".
