True. Can anyone imagine McCarthy doing anything positive and proactive?
McCarthy is pure toady politician. You will know him by the company he keeps.
Oh, and don't forget roommate Frank Luntz.

oh, I am already assuming we got Nevada in the bag
The question is—which Republican Party will take control? The RINO Republicans Never Trumpers or the MAGA Republicans?
Parts of all three
‘My guess is about 53 or 54 seats for the Republicans.’
not likely; I see NV as going GOP, and AZ going dem...this gives d’s 48, with two indy caucases, and the r’s 50...this leaves two states, PA and GA, for control of the chamber...
52 at most, 51 more likely...
I think the Republicans run the table on the ones you mentioned plus Washington State and maybe Connecticut. The democrats are not used cheating in deep blue states.
‘Fetterman is roadkill in PA.’
just curious; what do you base that assessment on...?
A 12 point move in 24 hours. Wow. I just hope this move isn’t too early. Call me a worry wart but 20 days is a LOOONG time to go.
I know I was worrying about that as well. In all honesty inflation is hard to fight, being the culmination of bad policy of years or decades prior. Republicans would have to actually grow a pair to cut spending. Even military spending.
Yeah… it’s looking like that more so with each passing day. It’d be nice to pick off a couple more… there might be a couple surprises out there.
Don’t pay too much attention. Gamblers die broke.
Good point. Ryan and Cantor flamed out quickly. enough. McCarthy is pretty much a nonentity. His campaign platform, a vague imitation of Gingrich’s Contract with America, is so pallid it does not bode well if he becomes Speaker.
“DO not hold your breath expecting career politicians to curb spending. Only the FED which is non-partisan by definition, can control inflation.”
entropy,
Good post(s)
I don’t always back the financial sector in a knee jerk fashion, but in the case of getting rid of the cheap money era, they’re the only faction acting responsible at this time.
Cheap money leads to malinvestment, over trading, destruction of valuation, destruction of the currency, and eventually everybody chasing a ‘speculative rot’ to maintain their current wealth.
Also, a continuation of current policies will lead to the price destruction of two very important sectors:
Real estate & equities. Cheap money will continue to gravitate and bloat up these already over valued sectors.
