It looks like Republicans have only picked up 2-3 seats sinc
This is most depressing. Watching blatant criminal control of elections go unchallenged is deeply demoralizing.
This is what a Blue Wave looks like. It happens after the election when Republicans are completely unprepared.
That about sums it up. So much for our noble experiment in self governance.
Every single leader in the Democrat party is known to be engaged or has been engaged in criminal activity. If we were actually a nation of laws these people would not be in power.
So how many House and Senate seats did Republicans take from Democrats who were winning on Election Day??
Perhaps Congress, rather than imitating a high school debating society, should actually accomplish something useful - like reforming the voting process in the U.S. and make (and establish some guidelines to enforce) some uniformity in the voting process for all of the states.
Hm. Like Voter ID?
Our country is gone
***************
Not quite yet but certainly declining at a very rapid rate, that’s for sure. Dems are getting ever closer to reaching a critical mass to attain a permanent majority. We are on the verge of having a one party system. Almost there.
“Watching blatant criminal control of elections go unchallenged is deeply demoralizing.”
Key words: GO UNCHALLENGED.
We no longer have REPRESENTATION.
The Republicans, once again, lay down and surrender...
I am sick of voting for people to represent ME - who go to DC and look out for themselves and their fellow corrupt politicians.
I like your suggestion but its not going to happen I’m afraid. Congress is useless.
That’s an understatement. What has changed since the last election is the question. Or perhaps what has changed happened under Obama. How many of these close pickups decided or could be decided by Obama appointed judges?
The good news is that with two or three exceptions, those are RINOs.
I would say We need a FBI investigation, but, the FBI is corrupt!
In all fairness, Rush and Hannity were saying that on Wednesday, November 7th, and it was basically true on that day, when compared to the Midterm losses of Obama and Bill Clinton.
Obviously, Trump and the Republican Party have catastrophically failed on the issue of voter fraud.
“all votes must be counted”
The Democrats most want the illegally late votes to be counted, since many Democrats tend to have problems obeying the laws of the land.
We could have done better in the elections if Ryan had produced any results as Speaker and helped candidates to win. But he did absolutely nothing but resist Trump. Another case of GOP squandering a golden opportunity. They are, if nothing else, the party of lost opportunities.
And now we have the hapless and lethargic McCarthy as minority leader. Its gone from bad to worse.
It could have been morning in America again. But now its darkness approaching on the horizon.
Democrats tend to have problems obeying the laws of the land.
***************
The laws don’t apply to Democrats. That is the new reality.
They’re still saying it. Hannity, anyways. I don’t know anyone that listens to Rush anymore.
It was the Rust Belt, the states that put Trump in office, that elected the Democrat House and Democrat governors. Why did they flip? They’re the people Trump’s tariffs are hurting.
