This election was 100% a revolt against Trump/Maga. NOT an embrace of Dems

Dems - go ahead and take your victory lap. Enjoy the fruits of your labor.

But you did not have a compelling policy argument in this election and you didn't need to. It was just Trump Bad Vote Dem, That's not sustainable

I agree -- You can already see DeSantis is inserting himself as the solution -- especially with the Latino vote (which saw a 22-point swing from 2024 to 2026).

And I think he or Rubio will get it.

It is if you keep putting forth Trump like candidates.

2028 is shaping up well for DeSantis.

I love Rubio, but I think the next two years he along with anyone else in the Trump cabinet will be laid to bare and attempted to be discredited publicly by the left. So, unfortunately, Rubio will have the Trump "stink' on him as earlier mentioned.

DeSantis/Gabbard in 2028 would be amazing

Yup.

Obama lead to Trump.

Trump lead to DSA.

the democrat playbook was always to wear the sheep out and make trump bad guy at every turn every minute and never help him accomplish a damn thing ever. congrats. they won cause you're weak and the republicans are a bunch of pussies.

expecting trump to be perfect and pounce on his every bad move is a rididculous standard for president especially after we've witnessed the most corrupt and treasonous politicians of our lifetimes in obama, clintons, and bidens. Its a fricking joke and you people are a piece of shite.

Rubio has impressed me as a statesman.

The Dems are much more fearful of Rubio than DeSantis.

This will be comforting when they start their salt-the-earth campaign.

The problem with DeSantis is that he is not a very charismatic candidate. And I think that’s what it will take to win the nomination. Rubio and Vance have that more so than DeSantis.

That's what happens when you do the opposite of everything you said you would do.
Voters don't like being lied to, go figure.

The Democratic party is being taken over by socialists who hate America...

and they won everywhere..

That's how deep the Orange hate runs.

You’re not wrong, but if people vote for admitted marxists simply to “send a message” to the party in power, that’s a bit alarming.

Except it is sustainable. The Dems can't lose the Senate in 2028. At the very least, last night screwed our country for the next 4 years.

That's the most optimistic view. It will likely be longer.

If they try to overplay their hand here they are setting themselves up for failure. Their favorability in the polls is still historically low. You are absolutely right that this was a revolt and not an embrace.

Now the scary part is if the Dems actually play the next 2 years competently, and run someone like Ossoff in 2028. They could have total control for a long, long time. Luckily if anyone can mess up total control worse than the GOP, it's the DNC.

How insane do you have to be to make Trump the victim here?

I wish people could understand that this election was as much about pushing away the establishment as it was about anything else. This has been building since 2016, with the only outlier being the dubious 2020 election. People want to turn the page, and the Dems seemed to have figured that out before the GOP did.
