"the key to Trump winning Congress again, which he will, I think this year" is that "the Democratic Party is becoming unelectable."

Democrats have faced significant electoral setbacks, record-low popularity, and a loss of millions of registered voters to Republicans between 2020 and 2024, leading to questions about their political viability......... the party is struggling with internal divisions, a weak message, and a perception that it has lost touch with working-class voters.
Key Factors Impacting Democratic Electability
Public Approval and Voter Loss: The Democratic Party reached a 35-year low in popularity during 2025, with a reported loss of 4.5 million voters to the Republican party between 2020 and 2024.
Internal Divisions: The party is facing a “cage match” with its base, with, according to a Washington Post article, risks of moving too far left, which could impact their competitiveness in key 2026 battleground races.
Weak Message and Leadership: Critics, including Representative Ro Khanna, suggest the “old guard” is too comfortable with “performative gestures,” calling for new leadership that fights harder. Many supporters view the party as “spineless” and unable to effectively oppose Republican, specifically Trump-aligned, initiatives.
Loss of Working-Class Support: The party is increasingly perceived as catering to educated elites rather than the working class, leading to a need to rebuild trust through economic populism and stronger, more distinct, cultural messaging.
Ideological Conflicts: Democrats are struggling to unify on key, contentious issues like immigration, social justice, and international conflicts.
None of them ever were “electable.” That’s why they have to steal elections. Nobody in their right mind would have ever voted for the Virgina Spamburger Queen 2024. Geez. She’s a dunce.
The Republicans are going to get hammered. The young and the females are conditioned by the media to be “good people.” being “good” means socialist/communist trans baby-killers
Except in heavily Democrat areas, or in the off-year elections where Republican don’t vote.
Aggggh. This isn’t a comforting statement from somebody who is wrong so often.
This means Republicans are about to lose it all.
the DNC could run Hitler, Stalin, and Castro ..(they basically do anyway)
and “win” by a landslide
so long as the DNC has the elections rigged so well
this is what the “pollsters” and “pundits” overlook, it is like they’re living in some alternate universe with honest elections?
I put as much trust in him as I do James Carvel even though I hope the toe licker is right.
“ The RNC needs to be keying on what is happening in VA and NM.”
Not if they want to lose. Which they do.
Well, since math is racist.
1+1= 6.02214076×10
Unelectable by sane standards applied by reasonable people. Unfortunately that description does not apply to Democratic voters.
The cliche is the party in power loses seats in the midterms.
That is not a law, it’s a cliche.
Here’s another cliche: No candidate could win the Presidency without having the strong support of a major party and having no track record at winning past elections. Trump hadn’t even tried for school board or drain commissioner in a small town but went straight the White House without the DC insiders backing him.
Democrats have violated Kirk Lazarus’ rule…
They have gone “Full Retard”.
Without cheating the Dems have a problem but they WILL cheat.
Remember NYC, NJ, PA and VA just had Dem victories, plus supreme court of PA and the gerrymandering proposal in CA that boosted Gavin Newsom. Spanberger is still unable to stop smiling and her AG Jones won after musing he want to shoot bullets into the heads of Republicans.
To paraphrase about poor people: God must have loved stupid voters because he made so many of them.
Democrats have always been unelectable, this is why they use illegal votes to steal public office.
Bingo.
Unless Florida redistricts AND gets it done in time for this year then Republicans have lost the Gerrymandering War at least for now.
Texas and California cancel. Utah and North Carolina cancel at best. Ohio changed nothing of relevance.
Missouri is on hold right now.
That means Virginia, New York and maybe Maryland for the W.
Come on Florida, save us.

Does the president’s party usually gain or lose seats at the midterm ...
“About 70% of the time, the president’s party loses seats in a midterm election. And this is often seen, and more in more recent history, it’s really seen as a kinda thumbs up or thumbs down vote on how...”
Only about 23 House races were determined by < 5% in 2024.
We hear nothing about GOP party officials focusing on them. It’s all national stuff this and national stuff that.
I think the Democrat wing of the uniparty is unelectable on a national presidential ticket.
Down ballot is another story.
The congressional caucus of the Republican wing has little to hang its hat on.
And most down ballot candidates are timid to go the full Trump and attack Democrats like Trump attacks them.
Democrats win down ballot races because Republicans never go on the attack or even fight back when attacked.
Some of it is fraud. Some of it is bad strategy and tactics on our part. Example: In
MN Immigrant murderers, rapists, DUI drivers....
Welfare Fraud ... Political Corruption were winning issues for us.
Renee Good did what she was trained to do. She changed the headline to MOM OF 3 SHOT BY ICE.
That is a losing headline for the RED team. We got sucked into a game of TAR BABY where we see something ugly and kick it...and get stuck to it.
Fighting the 2020 election rather than the Nov 2026 election is another tactical error. We need to learn from the past. The lesson of 2020 (in GA) was that from 2013-2020 we had plenty of warning and did nothing. Now we need to find the best tactics for Nov 2026, not obsess with the past that can’t be changed.
