* Just get the stonewall Save Act passed first

* If not start Executive leverage. US Martial Service at the polls.

* Executive Emergency Order, ⛽ gas tax vacation, through 2026 (not just October)

* 2000$ 40 Trillion debt relief check now, not after November, for verified ID US citizens.

It’s called : Leverage.

That's my take as well. This should have been an opportunity for historic gains by the R party despite it being a midterm with their leader in office. Instead I expect things to be very, very ugly.

The good news is many of the structural advantages that have been gained (census improvements, redistricting, the modest government downsizing and scam "spending" cuts, etc.) will bear fruit down the line. And after a couple years of socialist circus antics in Congress, a more sober Republican party may be in a good position to reap gains in 2030. But expect gridlock and worse in the immediate two years. Actually gridlock is the best I have been able to hope for, for most of the last couple decades, so I'm sorta sanguine about it.

Have faith.

That’s my advice. God is in control.

Don’t forget to vote.

With the role they’ve played in helping to run up $40 trillion in debt, the Republican Party knows damn well it has no credibility to run on constitutional integrity.

If only the GOP in the House and Senate had given us *any* reason to bother voting for them again this time....they have done nothing but sit on their hands for the last 2 years while Trump did all the heavy lifting with EO’s (almost all of which will be undone by a future Democrat president’s flick of the pen)...Johnson and Thune will own the midterm disaster.

Its not enough to motivate your base by simply saying ‘we suck less than the other guy’....which may be true, but is hardly a message you want to campaign on.

The GOP sucks at messaging. With a war chest as large as they have there should be some unbelievable patriotic ads on TV and social media.

Should be a discussion about reasons and reasoning with respect to voting, our country’s good fortunes, and future pitfalls with examples all over the world.
The republicscam party as a whole is woefully amiss. They primaried and tried to block President Trump, sat still for J -6, could not unite for the Save Act.
Appears orchestrated, the tree of liberty needs a chopping.

I think every election should be a discussion about the constitution.

Its a beautiful document.
