Republicans better not get complacent. Trump needs to be involved in a get out the vote effort.

Republicans LOVE being the minority party. They get to keep their cushy positions and not have to be responsible.

Despite the fact that I can’t stand them, I give the Dems credit. They fight. Republicans get in control and don’t do a damn thing.

Remove Trump from the Party and the Rs have absolutely nothing to offer most voters. Unfortunately - and probably intentionally - the GOPe rats in his administration have preoccupied him with the Ukraine. The quicker he walks away from that mess the faster he can focus on domestic issues.

Do what's right, and let the chips fall where they may.

Wow. Three months ago, they were talking about the “extinction” of the Democratic Party because of the takeover by the radical elements. Then, they win special elections in a blue state and the script was flipped. Are the Political consultants so good that they can cry extinction on either, or both parties at the same time? Does it mean that Political parties are dead? That works in a Communist, totalitarian regime.

Democrats wield power, Republicans hold office.

This is an example of Republicans demoralizing their base:

Just remember: “The president’s party often loses seats during midterm elections, a trend seen 93% of the time in the House and 70% in the Senate.”

Republicans.....or RINOS? I think its RINOS whose days are numbered. Once MAGA fully takes over the Republican party and finishes the revolution, then the repeated betrayals of the voters will stop. The Democrats don’t betray their voters over and over again. They do every lunatic thing they say they’re going to do on the campaign trail and they fight hard to do it.

I Blame Vance. He is the legislative guru. No recission packages. Nothing. What does he do?

I love trump, voted for him 3x.

But he needs to shut his mouth from saying things that are causing the ‘fence sitters’ to dislike him.

“Once MAGA fully takes over the Republican party and finishes the revolution, then the repeated betrayals of the voters will stop.”

There is a plan to do this?

Please give us the link.

Hint: This battle starts all over again in the 2028 presidential primaries. Victory is far from assured.

"...Do what's right, and let the chips fall where they may..."

That's what I say. There are too many pussies in this forum and the Republican Party.

The Media, Deep State, and Democrat Party strike a tuning fork, and on cue, they all being sweating and pissing themselves. It is embarrassing and ridiculous.

I don’t think so. AT is about as accurate as any other left-wing blog.

From LS:

“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 consistent in 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.”
