The Senate isn't flipping it will likely be +1 GOP minus a few RINOs. The House is a complete tossup at the moment and whomever takes it will be a narrow margain either way ,and after redistricting I would say it is leaning GOP. He will replace 2 more Justices and possibly 3 (Wise Latina ain't looking in the greatest health these days). Look I know this is hard for alot of you to accept ,but Trump nor his movement is going anywhere despite the black pilling, grifters, bad actors, etc. Reasonable people see and understand the alternative is a road to communism. The Dems needs to crush out the left and come back to reason and until they do I don't see them having a wave election for a long time no matter how much they wish for it. Is Trump and the GOP perfect? Absolutely not ,but it beats the alternative by alot.

I see a few have already commented on your emotional tirade. POTUS Trump is keeping it simple while exposing significant greed and corruption amongst those who had no interest in helping this country.

Republicans for the last 20 years - Im speaking before Trump - Referring to Mccain, Bush, etc - have basically let the country swing so far left we can't recognize our own assholes at this point. The dems were playing for keeps while the republicans played nice and tried to be there friend. This is exactly how we ended up with Trump. People were sick and tired of pussy arse republicans that had no balls and rolled over. Watching Republicans apologize when they were called racist - watching them bend over backwards to please the MSM. People were absolutly sick of it. Trump despite all his flaws and he has plenty - was the first republican that had any balls - the first to really tell the media to go frick themselves - the first to push for fixes we all want - more border security - voter ID - etc. He's not a perfect fix - no one would ever be a perfect fix - but hes changed the GOP for the better. The GOP better learn to fricking fight or we will vote more of these pussies out.

Good God, yes.

This plus -

It was Trump, a celebrity TV star, real-estate guy, celebrity, vs the establishment bushes, Rubio, and other R's.

The politicians thought this would be easy. And Trump just shot from the hip and didn't politic.

That was refreshing. The voters thought they would give him a chance.

Hilldawg was coasting at the time, with no "real" opponent.
The establishment then drug in Bernie as a sparring partner.

Turned out Bernie was more popular than Hilldawg.
But, the D's race was already fixed for Hilldawg.

That fixing the race is what showed the American people just how corrupt the system had gotten.
And why to let the outsider have a chance.

For your reading pleasure I give you...

The Flight 93 election.

Trump is for almost all of these things


No, he isn't.

He is for a strong military and American hegemony and he's for securing the border.

His tariffs represent the largest tax increase since Bill Clinton's first term and they are obviously the opposite of free trade. He's repeatedly made statements that indicate that he doesn't care about the 2nd Amendment and we all know about the bump stocks. He spends like a drunken sailor (just like any Democrat), he's all about collectivism (Us vs Them), and you'll claim he's for smaller government because he fired some federal employees, but doing things like having the federal government buy into a private company is not small government...it's by definition socialism.

And half of MAGA actively opposes American hegemony, one of the few historical Republican values that Trump does align with.

I understand that the non-populist Republicans failed to live up to historical values, but Trump is pretty much doing the same thing. Going by public policy, he's (much) closer to a Carter-era Democrat than he is a Reagan-era Republican.

So why are MAGA Republicans the "real" Republicans? I don't get it.

No. That's the point. You answered the question without regard to the issues at all.

Massie didn't lose because of what he stood for. He lost because he voted against GOP initiatives, and voted with the Democrats. He also lost because of his selfish directed entirely at Trump and the Republican Party. People got sick of his addiction to losing and typical do-nothing libertarianism.

What POTUS Trump is doing for the GOP is historical. The benefits it will provide America is multi-generationa


Did you happen to look at the age demographic breakdown of the Massie/Gallrein primary?

It doesn’t foreshadow multi-generational change. Gallrein lost every age demographic below age 55 by double digits.

Removing RINO's


Can you define that acronym for me?

I know what it stands for, but I don't understand how it applies here.

MAGA is less Republican than anybody that MAGAs calls RINOs.

Republicans are historically for:

Strong military, American hegemony (at least since WWII)
Smaller government
Lower taxes
More fiscal responsibility
Free trade
Traditional values
(More recently) Strong immigration control
Protecting 2nd Amendment rights
Opposing collectivism and promoting individualism

Now, I get that Republicans in modernity don't follow through on those principles like they campaign on them...I get that. I get that that's where the acronym originated.

But what confuses me is that both Trump and the MAGA base only promote one, maybe two items on that list. Some of the items the MAGA base promotes but Trump doesn't, some Trump does but at least some significant portion of the base doesn't.

So why are MAGA Republicans the real Republicans? What makes that the case?



That was a delicious melt, sir. Thank you! I enjoyed it.

He’s shrinking the party by doing away with anyone who dissents for any reason at all or tries to hold him to his campaign promises. Boebert, MTG, Tucker, Massie, etc. The GOP is headed for a bloodbath in November and they fully deserve it. Sad to see, because time is running short for this country.


Yesssss... Melllllllllt. The melts today might be even better than they were last night when Massie lost. You nerds have had time to sit and stew on things and get angrier. Keem em' coming!

Did you do the other 36 who POTUS Trump endorsed that won as well? After all, you might be on to something.

The working class used to be represented by the Dems.

The Dems abandoned the working class for the progressive college kids.

So, now the working class is taking over the Repubs.
So, yes, the 50-70s Dems are now Repubs...

Political Realignment.

I'd counter with, the RINOs got the war they've been wanting for decades, yet another ME conflict. We have overplayed the sanctions & military might card on this one--US sanctions dont mean much at this point. Thats the fault of multiple past admins, and this one. Not soley on Trump. I dont see China slowing down their global expansion, including in our hemisphere.

I agree w/ your last sentence though. Those who stand up against Trump do not fare well.

I will always give a military adventure more time, especially when the opponent has no air force, navy, and will soon not be able to communicate or feed its own army.

We wil win, no doubt there. Iran was never a peer level threat. The faster it ends, the better off our economy will be.

I do agree and believe me, I know how you feel. But I do believe they are working on providing as easy a path for the Iranian people to hold their country once we completely negate the IRGC.

So it sounds like you understand the issue as kind of a single issue.

The culture war.

It sounds like to you the actual public policies (on abortion, spending, taxes, shrinking government, etc.) are irrelevant. Whoever doesn't care if the media calls them racist is the more conservative politician. Right?


So you are able to identify that we're in a culture war but then you immediately start assigning your opponent policy positions for you to argue with. Why bother coming to a message board to argue? You're doing it with yourself either way.

You know you can just ask simple questions, wait for an answer, and debate based on that reality instead of fantasizing positions of the caracatures in your head that you are the hero out here fighting the good fight against.
