A republic, if you can keep it.
Republicans better get their act together — and quickly. That said, I’m also urging pigs to fly.
I say this because the last, best hope for the Last, Best Hope will have expired on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026 if they do not. And I, for one, I'm not holding my breath.
At this point, I fully expect Republicans to lose the House and possibly the Senate, effectively ending Trump's presidency and the MAGA Revolution. I know this opinion won't sit well with many of you, but, sadly, I believe it to be the truth.
One might logically ask how this could be possible given that many of the views and policies Democrats promote are unpopular with the majority of Americans, and the fact that Republicans currently hold the House, Senate, and presidency?
There is at least a three-part answer to that query: rampant cheating on the part of Democrats, idiocy on the part of a misinformed electorate, and extreme cravenness on the part of Republicans.
If Republicans do blow it, they will have squandered their last chance to fundamentally transform the nation back to its founding ideals. The only hope for the country was for Trump and his administration to somehow defeat the endlessly vast Deep State and all the major institutions that are arrayed against them.
Unfortunately, at this point, the only possibility to achieve even a partial victory would be to nuke the filibuster and pass a full slate of election laws to prevent industrial scale fraud and cheating by the Democrats. (After which, they could theoretically reestablish the filibuster.)

No.
Republicans in congress have to earn it.
I am not wasting another vote on weak, do nothing republicans.

Please don’t punish America — by voting Democrat — just because progress is slow. The Democrats are always in the game for the long haul, and we must do likewise.
Our Republic died with:
A The creation of The Federal Reserve
B The passage of the 17th Amendment for direct election of Senators’
C The election of FDR in November of 1932
Everything else is icing on the cake like the passage of National Security Act of 1947.
The senate may hold, but the House is gone already and was the moment Trump was elected. Remember the so called Red Wave in 2018?
The house usually goes to the opposition party in off year elections.
The first order of business in the new house will be Articles of impeachment against Trump and this time he may lose in the Senate.
There are just too many brain-dead/lethargic in Europe/America, making them ripe for take-over.
Destroy from within...as relevant today as it was then...only now we are actually realizing it.
Lesson never learned with empires..."never let the parasites in".
I will never vote for a democrat.
Republicans have to get in the game or they lose.
Simple as that.
Filibuster prevents codification of the EOs.
You still think politics is local, it is not, it is all National now, and the Democrats treat every election, whether its school board, local or state elections as having national ramifications, and all that matters is the candidate be loyal to the party.
Or syrup of ipecac . . .
I’m not into the doom and gloom.
If they lose the House it will be because of Rinos bailing like 2018.
MTG gone next month. Greene left yet we won in the special election.
Not votes...ballots
I agree
Trump is Trump. Greene also won +22. But that was a Presidential year. This was a special election in December. I voted early in November.
10 points is big. The part of Nashville in the 7th has only been there for 3 years. That is where she got her votes. It’s 14 counties and covers a lot of rural areas.
Turnout was about half from 2024. Special elections are always like that.
Turnout will need to be better in 26.
2/3s is to override vetoes.
I think a winning issue is dumping the Real ID. It’s confusing and arbitrary state by state.
The Red Wave was supposed to happen in 2022.
Back to fear and loathing you little prick. Your name is MoleHillClimber.
First Red Wave Prediction was 2018 by Trump. Democrats gained over 28 seats in that off year election.
So many Rinos bailed
I am more optimistic than most posters on this thread.
It takes 67 votes in the Senate to convict. Those votes aren’t there.
I never heard of jailing a sitting president. There would be a revolution or a guerilla type civil war.
As for the mid-terms, most of the Trump tax cuts kick in next year. Also, 23 trillion dollars is coming into the economy, most of it from overseas. We will also have a new Fed chair in May. There should be a roaring economy by election day.
As I previously posted, Rush used to say, “The events that will determine the outcome of the election have not happened yet.”
However, the GOP needs a much better ground game. Also, decades ago Jesse Unruh, the comptroller of California, was quoted as saying, “Money is the mother’s milk of politics.” President Trump and his inner circle need to raise billions of dollars to fund the House and Senate races. The scumbag demon rats give the GOP plenty of political ammunition...the GOP just needs the will to use it.
