Trumps Honeymoon is over.
Before we count the ways, a couple of simple observations:
1) Why are we surprised?
For every action, there is an equal (or greater) reaction. It just took a bit more to get over Shock and Awe.
and
2) Why listen to the Democrats when they speak about Republicans?
They certainly, when the shoe is on the other foot, don't.
And, ditto, that goes for their minions in the press.
There, a couple moments of clarity you won't find on 24 hour news.
-> It took a while for the Good Old Boy network of the GOP to find its voice in Indiana. They said, "No" to redistricting.
Funny, they did not propose a solution on How to Win the Mid Terms. And therein, they signaled their surrender to the Democrats.
Why am I anything but underwhelmed that they coalesced in Mike Pence's state. Mike, Trump's former VP, seems to be with the Democrats on anything but Trump.
As for their support of Federal Unions, along with the Democrats, got in the first shot against one of Trump's Executive Orders.
Certainly, Federal Unions can do Strikes at the Federal Reserve. Biden's Fed chairman keeps doing the least he can to unblock the Housing Market, one drip drab at a time.
It's just that the Old Network, can't seem to find anything but ineffective.
Oh, and did you finally do anything about Voter Fraud and the Mail in (Fiasco) Ballots since this was on your watch?
Funny, but Trump clearly has that in his EO sights too.
-> As for the Libertarian wing of the GOP, Rand Paul, found his voice against the blowing up of a struck Venezuelan drug boat. Nevermind, that the boats are armed and were headed our way. Nevermind, that nation is designated a Terrorist State.
And, oh, please, how pleased are the Democrats and their mind numbing weasels, that you joined them once again.
I hope it was worth it.
-> As for the Kum-By-Yah wing of the GOP, they like their the aging Liberals in the Democratic Party, are getting Primaried out at a regular clip. If not as effective as Biden these days.
Speaking of which, the Dems have a similar problem as we do, that of being eclipled by a more powerful force - The Wokies (Woke- Marxist Socialists like AOC).
-> That leaves the Newest and most powerful wing of the GOP. MAGA and it's leader You-Know-Who and his heir apparent JD Vance.
This is a force beyond anything as the GOP or the DEMs has seen in since the last century.
Politicians actually doing what they say.
Ones that are effective against the Dems and their weasels in the Press.
Ones that deliver for the American People, by God, for once.
And, not, like a slew of Dems, drowning us in Regulations, but do the opposite (to get rid of the crap).
The real question about them is whether they will stay or go. If, they go, you can kiss your hiney goodbye.
My guess is like the Liberals by the Wokies, the GOPe is by MAGA.
-> As to Trump, my guess is that the fun has just begun.
As predicted in Nov 2024, it is 2017-2020 all over again...
Trump strabbed in the back again...
The GOP never fails to hold on to its back-bencher status...
Wake up dude. There is a massive difference between Republicans and Demi rats!
Sheesh.
Look at all President Trump and the Republicans have accomplished in the first year!
This despite the democrats being lock-step opposed to every single action. They have been fighting us in the judicial system every step of the way.
Dubious.
1) You cannot now rely on ANY pollsters, including Ras and Baris, because they took extreme anti-Iran bombing stances and are becoming more antisemitic by the day. Their polling is now suspect.
2) We observe 39 states on a weekly basis for voter registration trends. IN NOT ONE STATE are DemoKKKrats gaining in more than a tiny fraction (i.e., 100 gain), and then only intermittently. Meanwhile, in almost all states, GOP is consistentin gaining, and gaining huge. See my “Today’s News” for regular updates, but: FL now is R+1.4m; NC now is R+3,000 (was D+175,000 five years ago); AZ is now R+338,000; NM, KS, ID, PA, CA, NV, LA, CO, KY, and NH have all seen SIGNIFICANT R gains. NV now is red, by 3,000. Was D+18,000 in November. PA is down from D+1.1 MILLION to barely 170,000 and may be red by 2028. Even blue CO and CA are showing net GOP registration gains. We can’t measure TX cuz it doesn’t report by party, but recent elections show that estimates of D strength are WAY too high.
3) All this will only get BETTER for Trump and GOP as more illegals are deported and as more voter rolls are purged.
4) NONE of this includes the likely “racial redistricting” by the Supes.
I predict the Rs hold the House by 2-5, and that those seats right now are pretty much locked after everyone redistricts. There will be 5-10 actual “tossups.” But even if Ds win every single one, they still would be in the minority. Flipside is that even if the Rs win every one, they will only have a 10-12 vote majority.
Sheesh is right.
I live in Indiana, where the Republicans are in control. They couldn’t even get a majority vote from the Senate to redo the state’s congressional districts. The vote was 19-31 and it lost. 10 Republicans joined the Democrats to defeat the measure.
There is no difference between the Republicans and Democrats.
I hope your Opus is shorter.
