Do the ballots in MN have to be postmarked by Nov 3rd?
RIGHT!!!!
The Dems had a filibuster proof 60 seat super-majority in the Senate after the 2008 election, until Ted Kennedy died and Scott Brown was elected to take his seat in early 2010, but not a 2/3 veto-proof super-majority. Of course, they did not need a veto-proof majority in either house of Congress when Obama was President.
Yup...........If Trump wins Mich, James wins.....
I don’t watch the news, so it might just be me but the talk of a Democrat take-over of the Senate seems to stopped. Same with talk of Biden winning Florida. Has the MSM seen the handwriting on the wall?
“LOL!!! I am in NC, but I have sent James money three times!”
Money well spent. Myself I have made 3 donations to Martha McSally. I am trying to keep the Arizona Senate seat. I live in California.
Bless you! :-)
Oh...and you’ll be defending your President by voting Republican for the Senate. You should know what the Democrats are planning on doing, if he’s reelected. They’re going to impeach and convict him with a Democrat House and Senate. Don’t let that happen!
So...fix bayonets! Er, go to your polling place tomorrow, and fill out that ballot.
WOW! This would be a really really nice pickup. I think John James is going to win in Michigan too.
I think a GOP wave will give us 2 more Senate seats and the House.
Yeah, he and they think he’s gonna win.
Will do.
Well, Duh! Having 23 Senate seats to defend is the natural consequence of winning 23 Senate seats in 2014. It should always have been a priority to win more seats in ’16 and ’18 against the arrival of this day. But obviously the Republican Party wasn’t up to it sufficiently in either year.Instead of being, say, 1/3 of the R senate incumbents, 23/53 comes to 43% of them.
LBJ had a bare 2/3s in both Houses after the 64 election.
I’m sorry, what exactly do you mean? No party has been close to 2/3s in decades.
Obviously one party having a veto-proof majority while the other party is in the White House is never gonna happen. Can only happen after a terrible midterm loss. The last time was 1894 when GOP took a super-majority in the House (but not the Senate) but they didn’t even have a real majority in the Senate so Grover Cleveland’s veto could not be overridden party line.
I think Taft-Hartley was the last MAJOR piece of legislation passed over a veto, with Southern dems joining almost every Republican in overriding Truman.
The specific examples I was thinking about it were several times that Presidents (like Trump) were overridden. But then I realized that that was only because useless Rinos had gone to the other side and voted with the democraps.
And the last time that one party had a veto-proof majority in both houses while the president was of the other party was from 1865-1869, when Democrat Andrew Johnson served as president because of President Lincoln’s brilliant “National Union ticket” idea and an assassin’s bullet.
