“Its called a paradigm shift.”
Bingo!
Those caught in a paradigm shift and who don’t recognize the shift nor get aboard. They often become big losers in life.
Then, they will spend the rest of their lives in misery blaming what that the winds of change brought in stead of catching and riding the waves of change.
Gee, I'd almost forgotten they had a Senate majority. And what have they done with it again...?
““The assumption has been that there’s no way he can be the nominee. But I don’t know if that’s beginning to fray,” said University of Florida Political Science Professor Stephen Craig.
“If he manages to win the nomination, all of our traditional assumptions will be upset and we will be on such new turf that anyone that says they can predict the future should be put out to pasture.”
Sure, they had the majority. The Stupid Wing of the Uniparty.
Idiot GOP cowards. Just start proclaiming the things Trump is proclaiming and win in a landslide.
Some senators should be worried especially in the primaries— like McCain and Rand Paul...
Yeah, this is the most fun part of Trump’s setting the national agenda, namely all of those GOPe candidates are going to be forced to deal with issues that they had figured they could ignore if Senor Yeb was the Pub nominee.
Now they’re all going to be flip-flopping about faster than a handful of Mexican jumping beans thrown onto the griddle. Masks will be coming off and we’re gonna see who has spine and who are just a bunch of wussified jello pudding pop RINOs.
I can’t figure out why the Republicans would want the Senate. What the hell would they do with it. Oh sorry. They already have the Senate and haven’t done a damn thing with it.
ding ding ding
We have a winner
I don’t believe AZ would ever retire McPain. They like insulting the whole USA too much to do that.
Just grab onto his coattail and don’t let go.
RINO Senators worrying that Trump as candidate will lessen their chances of reelection? I’d say Congressional Republicans are ruining their chances by their own ineffectiveness and Trump as candidate would carry some to reelection just because he would be at the top of the ballot.
I’m in Nevada. Remember, this is a casino town. Culinary is picketing the Trump hotel here. But in the end, Nevadans will always pick a casino boss. Trump would have coat tails against Hillary, Biden, or Sanders so Senate won’t be hurt..
The failure of the Senate Republicans to leverage their majority is what endangers their majority - they sucked the life out of their supporters.
It’s hard to say whether a Trump nomination will hurt or help the GOP senate candidates. It’s likely that it would drive up turnout, but that could help the GOP as well as the Democrats.
Well GOP, what we giveth we can taketh away.
But that will have nothing to do with Trump.
Plain and simple fact. You do not deserve the Senate, a gift given to you by the very voters who you have betrayed.
My senator, rob portman, lost my vote before trump showed up. His only chance of getting my vote will be if he pledges to work with trump on immigration if trump is nominee. Otherwise bye bye portman
You are absolutely right.
