I’m seeing a lot of self inflicted voter suppression. Dems don’t have to steal elections if the “we wuz robbed” caucus just stay butt hurt and don’t vote.
Yes.
Republicans are gaining House seats. Republicans received 7 million more House votes than Democrats. These are increases.
... and the current numbers in PA, GA, and AZ. And, most importantly, the growing Republican numbers in FL.
AZ? AZ is better for Republicans than it was in 2020. Katie Hobbs held back vote counting delaying the good news. AZ will be a huge success.
GA may gain a Senate seat. Corrupt, corrupt PA has lost a Senate seat.
So this is the data that tells us that Trump is less popular than the 77 million votes he received in 2020?
Do you have reading comprehension issues and mistakenly think I said that I won’t vote at all?
I voted for Bush, Romney, and McCain. I am done throwing my support behind some of the most destructive human beings on earth just because they have an “R” after their name.
I’m voting for Trump if he runs. If there is a non-Trump Republican nominee who credibly argues against all of the things I previously listed, then I will vote for them. If the Republican nominee is not talking about globalism, central banks, never ending regime change wars, bad trade deals, WEF, the intelligence agencies, big pharma, the defense industry, etc... then I am voting for Dave Smith of the Libertarian party.
I have learned to HATE the "republican party" as much, if not more than the "democrat party", I see through the deception so I don'thave to hate my "liberal" neighbor they are merely being decieved and manipulated just like my "conservative" neighbors flying the idiotic Ukraine Flag and watching Fox news for the latest reason to hate the "other side".
In reality , Trump won't change much, but at least I will feel better about the way I am being screwed so well by "My Guy"
The leadership at the RNC needs a house cleaning to folks who understand that the Democrats are the enemy of humanity &Western civilization and are willing to act accordingly.
Will never happen. I’ve given up on the Republican Party being the engine of change we’re looking for.
Good luck finding someone who spent the amount of $$$ I did and the hours I worked on the campaign - easy to sit behind a keyboard and do nothing but send out emails.
You can bye to a lot more fed up ex-campaign workers.
Agreed the GOPe are zipless fucks who think nor being Democrats is enough.
“There is no way Ron DeSantis is going to run as VP on a ticket with Trump at the top.”
What is the source of your information on that specific comment?
You write as if you have some inside information — are you a DeSantis or Trump confidant?
It’s amazing how easy people are so easily tossing Trump to the curb. Actually, it’s disgusting. Who has done more to fight the corruption of the swamp? Who has fought for us? Who restored international respect for the USA? Who made us energy independent? TRUMP.
A few more things not mentioned:
*R’s flipped 10 seats in the New York state house. All Long Island districts are now R representatives for the first time in decades.
*Hochul’s victory was much more narrow than usual in deep blue New York.
*R candidates got 6,000,000 more votes than D candidates.
*The D’s have lost 31 seats in the House so far since 2018, and will almost certainly lose more as the results roll in.

Why do I say that someone like DeSantis won't run as VP? Have you not seen what happened to Mike Pence? Trump may think it would be an all time privilege for someone to run with him but truth is it is a suicide mission. Anyone with a future in politics will be waved off. If elected I don't see how he staffs the White House again either.
I don't even think it will matter though because I don't see how Trump gets the nomination if DeSantis runs.
Who are you to tell people to shut up?
You will be voting for Trump in Nov. ‘24.
Get used to the idea.
Where else are you going to go?

Yeah, let's talk about Burns for a minute. It's fascinating that "Brandon" at Fixisin News, eviscerated his own sophomoric Narrative by pointing out mid-story (and it's obvious I'm the only one who read that far):
"Also in New Hampshire, incumbent Democratic Rep. Annie Kuster defeated Republican Bob Burns in the state's 2nd Congressional District. Burns reportedly benefited from $94,000 in spending by a new Democratic PAC called Democrats Serve in his primary race against a more moderate George Hansel."
Hansel is the pro-choice mayor of Keene, who said he did not disagree with the Keene's City Council passage endorsing Keene as a "Sanctuary City".
So straight up, Hansel was a Democrat-running-as-a-RINO, but "Brandon" at Faux News wants you to believe pro-abort Hansel was simply "more moderate" than Burns.
Again, lofl on so many levels: "Brandon" at Faux News slanting a piece hoping one of the Murdoch heirs will notice his nifty new kneepads; the mere idea that you thought this Faux News article supposedly supported your Fetterman-style anti-Trump screech; the FRacebookers in this thread who read the headline and immediately started typing with their elbows -- ya'll are good for giving some mid-Thursday Schadenfreude, I'll give you that!
So it isn't at all that Bolduc or Burns were bad candidates, or President Trump said something nice about them, but that a majority New Hampshire voters are genuinely stupid, daydrinking morons who can be jerked around by political ads -- there's a reason the nets and cable gave up broadcasting live from Dicksville Notch!
Here is something the GOP should remember and use in the future, 2/3 of voters who waited for the debate to make up their mind, voted for Oz.
2) Would love to do same for states without full GOP control, but help may be on the way via a SCOTUS bank shot. This term they are taking a case that claims controls of elections are under Federal constitution a state legislative, rather than executive or judicial matter. If so ruled, states with GOP legislatures (eg. WI) may still be able to effectively changes some of these rules in spite of state executive or judicial interference!
3) Above can't fix the solid blue states, but might enable enough EVs to make changes at federal level. If we temporarily gain that power we need to try the following. Although SCOTUS might rule elections are primarily a state legislative function it has previously ruled that Feds have interests that can allow narrow pre-emptions. Eg. Feds may set a uniform election day for Federal races. States tend to take advantage and throw much of their own elections onto the same date as a way to save themselves money. However having federal elections is a requirement on them for joining the union and they can do as they please (within republican form of governmental limits, etc.) for how and when to run their own elections. Feds could, and should claim that all these elongated, slow to decide state election measures interferes with timely, orderly transfer of federal executive and legislative power, thus with proper running of the federal government as well as potentially disenfranchising citizens whose legislative representation is delayed. And thus declare that regular Federal elections not only all have to be run on the day but under specified limitations to ensure timely initial vote counting and allow sufficient time for procedural safeguards such as reconciliation, timely recounts and election challenges. How states run their federal elections affect the entire country, not just that state. Although rare races conceivably can take longer the expectation should be that most races are resolved promptly, as has been proven to be possible in many US states and in most countries worldwide. If they want to append some state elections to the federal ones within those limits states may do so. State may chose to do something more complicated for their own races, but must separate out the slow stuff and be willing to pay for that added complexity they desire. Both potentially as a greater price to their state budget and as a more complicated system for their electorate to navigate. Federally run a 'KISS' election (keep it simple, stupid) with enough slack built in to keep military voting possible and accommodate the problem's Alaska's vastness provides, but not any political fads. If Oregon wants to take 6 months to run their state elections they can, but they can't for OUR federal ones.
Do you have any idea how many illegal and dead people would be disenfranchised by that???
“Democracy” as we know it today could not survive.... /s
