By every account, this was a strange election. Having had some time to think about it, I have determined the best explanation for November 8 is that this midterm election was intended to turn out pretty much the way it did.
Who intended it? The Republican establishment. Why? To get rid of Trump.
How did they do this, and where’s the proof? It wasn't too hard, and the proof is all around us.
This was a midterm election, so there are no real consequences beyond the control of Congress. This means that if you can control one house, even by a slim margin, you can stall the agenda of the other side. How large a majority you have is secondary and, in the long view, not that meaningful.
The establishment Republicans were willing to settle for less than expected numbers in the House to eradicate what they see as by far their biggest problem. This was their chance to bury Trump and avoid a great deal of damaging unpleasantness at very low to no real cost.
It makes sense. The Democrats funded the Trump senatorial candidates in the primaries because they thought they could make them lose. The Republicans seemed to think that might be a good idea. If necessary, they could help those candidates lose, which could seriously weaken Trump but still leave them with sufficient winners.
The Dem-supported Trump candidates lost, as per their plan. I have heard some pundits say that this was a clever move on the part of the Democrats. Maybe so, but they had a lot of help. Those candidates lost because if they had won, Trump would be almost assured of the presidency in 2024. Look at the contortions Mitch McConnell went through to keep Murkowski and deny the Trump candidate in Alaska.

Yep, this is exactly why we have to have a COS (Convention of States) to cut off the money supply, this is the problem. Notice that the MSM, GOPe, dems, and uniparty types bury this topic every time, year after year, and now decade after decade.
The national debt may very well be pushing $35,000,000,000,000 when Jao Xiden is pushed out in a couple years. The interest alone on this money would crush any other country, the only way the USA is able buy off time is to...what else...print more fake money making the problem worse.
Manchin and Sinema are the equivalent of John McCain and Lisa Murkowski. They’re the ones who volunteer to publicly oppose any Senate bill that the party’s grassroots supporters want, but their big-money donors oppose. If the Democrats win one more seat in the Senate, they’ll simply find one more stooge to join the other two in blocking those difficult bills.
“ Mail in ballot harvesting explains it”
***************************************
That’s certainly one mechanism they employed. There are many fronts in their war on us.
The Democratic Party, like the Republican Party, is not a unified block the leadership can order around.
Sure, they have lots of pull. They don't have the control you think they do.
We will just disagree.
I agree with your second point … which is why so much of the political maneuvering in Washington — especially in the Senate — involves leadership figuring out ways to let individual representatives OPPOSE legislation behind closed doors while publicly casting ineffective votes in the chamber.
I’ve said for years that if the GOP (for example) ever won a filibuster-proof majority of 65-35 in the Senate, they’d immediately change the rules and raise the filibuster threshold from 60 to 70 just to cover their asses and let a lot of bills “lose” even with 65 votes.
What’s going to happen next stanne...??
“Mail in ballot harvesting explains it”...not really. Anybody got any hard evidence of this happening in this election yet..???
“How else can one explain Fetterman or Biden?“
Ballot manipulation.
There is NO POSSIBLE way that Plugs Biden got the most votes of ANYONE to ever run for President - when he didn’t even bother to campaign. Even if he DID campaign… prior to November 2020, even democrat voters didn’t want him.
Citizens didn’t vote these clowns in. Voting was rigged. Again. Not just sour grapes here either. We see how they do it with the counting “pauses”, the trucks delivering boxes of ballots in the dead of night; the absolute vertical spikes at peculiar times in the vote counts, etc…
And no one in positions to do anything about it WILL do anything about it.
“ What’s going to happen next stanne...??”
If they take the House they’ll be lame duck
It’s ugly.
There are a lot of fighters on our side I am reminded so we’ll just need to rally.
The American people don’t want Dems to run it
Maybe. Hard to know.
The Democrats had already demonstrated their willingness to nationalize the elections, and render election integrity meaningless.
They only lacked the votes of Senators Sinema and Manchin.
So, they had already shown solidarity on this issue. The others, packing the court and adding two new states, were already popular in the House. It seems likely they would have passed as well, if Sinema and Manchin had been on board.
The motive was easily understandable: Why give up power, once you had achieved it?
When you think of the USA as an evil state, and the Constitution as a sham, why not?
OK, this makes sense.
‘WHY did Graham HYPERACTIVELY run out raising it over and over?’
yes, very strange...
‘They just want to be the ones who get paid to do it.’
one might say you are overly cynical; and one might also say you are 100% correct...
If the GOP actually wins a majority in the House, with the right leadership, it can use the power of the purse to shut the government down, especially the USPS, until a “Republican form of government” is restored. The RINOs certainly did sabotage the midterms, and yes they want Trump gone, but Trump should never have endorsed McCarthy for Speaker. Never!
Don’t be naive
A couple of days before the election I heard Brit Hume say it would be very difficult for Rs to have a complete sweep. He was right.
Let's predict the stooge with a short list.
Probably somebody that just got "elected", so six years before the "voters" can touch him or her.
Why doesn’t Trump just come out and say it. If he doesn’t trust me enough then I don’t trust him either.
