The main problem is that conservative turnout is low in off year elections while the Dem ballot manufacturing operation still functions.
Trump could have done more to campaign for Republicans, but this is a bad omen for the 2026 election. Also consider the fact that apart from VA, we're talking about Dem strongholds in NY, NJ, and CA. CA is now for all intents and purposes a one-party dictatorship.
I am glad Trump is President. Thank God for that!
BS! It was neocons who gave open borders uber alles and “religion of peace”.
What happened is that the progressive cities and states in general decline elected radicals that will insure the decline continues
A retired leader of the county sheriff’s department told me that Gwinnett County is a 20-20-20-20-20 mix. All races and religions are evenly split.
Back to globalism and one sided free trade ? F that.
Republicans were born to lose. They are allowing teachers to turn kids into reliable Democrats and have failed to reform the schools in the past 30 years, this is the outcome.
The problem is, to the Left, government is their God, they will overlook a candidate’s flaws if they advance the Revolution.
Our side tends to reject sucky candidates, even if they would act in our best interests. Or we just don’t bother to show up. And frankly good people don’t even want to run for office, so we got stuck with these turd sandwiches for candidates.
If anyone knows VA GOP folks, please get this message to them. I would have voted for the GOP candidate yesterday, but one thing I found really off-putting was that I don’t even live in Virginia but got a constant barrage of text messages for the last six weeks from “Winsome Earle-Sears” begging for money. Please stop this sh!t if you ever want me to take you seriously.
Covid and a couple years of high inflation under Biden did some damage. Inflation went up ~15% over a 2 year period and has has been bouncing around 3% for the last couple of years. I doubt very many workers have received +20% pay raises over that period of time.
Yep, very true.
Virginia is not a surprise. Youngkin’s election was a surprise.
The Fed Gov in NOVA (Northern Virginia) has become ginourmous and the whole area is communist. By numbers they now rule our commonwealth - our large cities have always been communist - Richmond, Roanoke, Charlottesville, etc.
We need to fasten our seatbelts as Spanberger with both houses will surely try to do her thing re: abortion, guns, etc.
And pray......
This is the kind of day where I would make sure I had the radio on at noon to hear what Rush had to say about the voting yesterday. I am glad he is where he is for his sake, but I miss him. We all miss him.
He was so engaged overseas while trying to win the Nobel Peace Prize that he was completely disengaged from the American electorate. He refused to help Winsome Sears in VA because she said some bad things about him. Well, boo hoo.
He is the de facto head of the GOP and the GOP got stomped last night. That means Trump got stomped. I won't hold my breath waiting for the MAGA faithful to admit this truth. If this is the level of engagement Trump will display over the next year, he will be impeached on January 2, 2027.
People trade, not nations... unless they’re, what’s the word? Socialist nations where the government controls the industry.
But by all means, keep pretending the magic pony is just around the corner.
Meanwhile, the folks now taking it hardest on the chin? US Agriculture in the vast flyover country, which have become the GOP bulwark.
Don’t come crying to me when we see some shockers next year in the midwest and great plains.
Too think that a black Jamaican woman, can win a Governor’s election VA. is preposterous. Also an old time politician in Jersey can go against an attractive former military chopper pilot in Jersey is a losing proposition. No surprises in either race. NYC is overloaded with libs and losers and is all geared for the commie takeover; get yourself some popcorn and enjoy the decay, its going to be fun.
If I might add, as a staunch Trump supporter, that facing the weakest possible Democrat candidate likely played a major role in his 2024 victory.
Conservatives should never, ever relax.
No doubt the democrats have been plotting to steal certain Senate and HOR seats since the day Trunp won his second term. And they are going to do it in the midterms. And what happened with all the bomb threats? By 5 pm or so yesterday the media wasn’t reporting that anywhere that I saw.
I get tons of those text messages too and they are very annoying, but I suspect many of them are scammers.
Oh boy! Coming to NYC soon the call to prayer, what a hoot. Vendors loading up on prayer rugs. Its called giving up our freedom without a fight. Don’t see any politician putting up legislation banning Sharia Law.
