Yes, but they were going to lose anyway. No party does well in midterm elections when they hold Congress and the White House.

I’m sure gasoline prices being temporarily higher will made the simpletons angry too. They’d rather have a nuclear Iran with continued free rein over the Middle East than temporarily pay $20-$40 more at the gas pump each time they fill up.

I'm not saying I like anything about Dems or what they stand for, I'm just saying Repubs don't do anything when they hold all the cards. If Trump didn't use executive orders, nothing would have been accomplished by Congress. They don't know how to fight for themselves.

Don’t worry. They just have a reflexive need to attack anyone that is not seen as being loyal.

I’m not sure.

Do people believe without the war, the House or Senate Republicans had otherwise done enough to have earned their continued majorities?

Regular voters don't know how bad Mamdami and Spamberger are fricking up, I finally left the dems about 21-22, after years of frustration, but at least the democrats have goals and wanna get shite done even if is destructive. 85% of Republicans DGAF about working for us, look what the Republicans had before Trump, he has carried the party by himself for a decade, they haven't done anything in years, if Trump doesn't make it happen it dont get done.

Too early to tell; a lot of time left before November. Things will change and voters have notoriously short memories.

It's easier than that.

They will lose both because the majority of Republicans are spineless and haven't done shite

It's not quite this simple, but it kind of is.

This is mostly the correct answer.

No.

What will cost them the House and Senate is the feckless inaction on multiple Trump policies:

SAVE America Act
Codifying DOGE
Moving Trump's Nominees
Impeaching or defending judges
Referring contempt

Uh yeah or we could have cheap gas which affects the price of everything else and Iran could go back to building the nukes we've been told they're developing since the 90s so nobody believes it anymore


Iran started talks in February with “We have enough highly enriched Uranium for 12 nuclear bombs.”

It’s idiotic to think they aren’t close. North Korea was close for a long time too and they got over the hump and now are untouchable. You think it’d be OK to have a radical Islamic totalitarian government with nuclear weapons and terrorist proxies all over the Middle East?

Take a step back and look at the big picture.

Anyone who sits out this election or votes Dem as a protest against Repubs should just light themselves on fire (figuratively). Such a vote guarantees bad results for our families and freedom. The world is counting on us to be the last hedge against tyranny. Sure, it's not perfect, but letting the socialists take over fixes nothing.

does it really matter?


What have the republicants done to support what the electorate voted for?
They have done as much as possible to impede trump every chance they get, dont matter if you like trump or not, millions of voters voted down ticket republicant thinking this would help trump as well but it has not. They are trash, not all but the majority.

if the republicants win both houses, will anything change? Will they do anything at all that the voters put them there to do?? the answers are no and no, so again, it really dont matter. trump will just have to eo his way through to the end and hope for the best...the likely scenario is the republicants keep both houses which will change nothing in the grand scheme of things..

If the Right loses the house in the midterms, it's not because of the war or gas prices. It's lack of deportations, not fixing the h1b/refugee fraud, moslim issue, etc etc. instead of taking care of why they were voted in they go as far as pushing the anti-American "dignidad" act.

Don't forget losing midterms isnt abnormal. Actually winning them are.
