The fact that this race is close serves to confirm my opinion that many Americans are just plain idiots.

I agree with you. I cringe every time I hear someone say "The American people are smart" or some other phony platitude.

If the American people were smart, this country would not be in the mess we're in.

Carlin was right!

“Now, there’s one thing you might have noticed I don’t complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don’t fall out of the sky. They don’t pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It’s what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you’re going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain’t going to do any good; you’re just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it’s not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here... like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There’s a nice campaign slogan for somebody: ‘The Public Sucks. F*ck Hope.”

Sorry, can’t answer that. I don’t live in District 7.
Tim Burchett is my Rep.

He tried to do that by deporting Venezuelans - especially the trained operatives that were called “Tren de Aragua” - under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 but these treasonous judges shot that down.

The showdown between Judge Boasberg and Trump is the visible face of this war.

When the DOJ is able to indict the treasonous bastards in this country, this subject will explode. I think Trump is trying to slow-walk it as much as possible so that the public has time to process bits and pieces before it all explodes, because the country is dry tinder ready to go up in flames if we can’t insert reason, evidence-based discussion, and truth. He really and truly needs each one of us to be salt - a point of reason and stability that can affect our spheres of influence toward that end.

Things will be a lot easier once the treasonous/bought judges are in Gitmo, their conspiracies and treasonous alliances fully exposed. Maybe the media folks need to be thrown in Gitmo first, just so those who are still reporting realize what is at stake for them when they consider how and what to report in the coming days.

"What is the makeup of District 7? Urban? Rural? it is supposedly a Republican district."

The district is the Tennessee River Valley between Kentucky and Alabama, touching on the western and southwestern suburbs of Nashville. Nominally a red district but yellow dog democrat area in history.

The issue is Trump fatigue. Democrats are motivated to fight Trump and honestly many 2024 Trump voters are turned off by his bombast. The election will be decided by turnout or lack of it by Trump voters.

If this election turns out with a democrat winner then it is just the latest example of how utterly stupid American have become.

Donald Trump has been in office since February. How do you have “Trump Fatigue”? You want a nice guy who doesn’t get anything done (like W?) So people prefer a Karen/AWFUL/Cat Lady?

The trouble with country music these days is that it’s been hijacked by the maggots form the Far-Left. Calling Beyonce the new Queen of Country Music because her cousin Chester rode a horse once is more than retarded. Saying that Buck Owens, Hank Snow, Marty Robbins, Waylon Jennings and Dolly Parton were a bunch of country johnny come latelys shows stupidity has set into country music.

Remember Trump is in year 10 since the Golden Escalator and most voters are not as ideologically pure or as intelligent as you are. Just consider though what will become of MAGA if the GOP loses the House come November. Trumps last two years will be spent fighting impeachments rather than his agenda.

That is not fact. Don’t believe left wing polls. It’s not close.

Early voting pushed 30%. Turn out today is brisk.

Super rural. A small part of the 5th was put into the 7th when we redrew the 5th. That part is somewhat urban with pockets of old Nashville.

It covers all or part of 14 counties.

I agree with you about the majority of Americans being idiots. Our new motto isn now, “Freedom Isn’t Free, But Socialism Is.”

You've seen them, but how many voters haven't?

“Republicans...get to the polls...”

Don’t worry, the Repubs will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory once again. And the Repubs in Washington will cower a little more, and point fingers at the Speaker and Trump for the loss.
