It was expected that Republicans would end up with a comfortable 20-40 seat pickup but fell well short of that .

The Senate was a toss up but Democrats retained control and may even pick up a seat after the GA runoff election .

Democrats made gains in state legislatures. That wasn’t expected to happen.

All that matters is Republicans wull now control The House and Pelosi and the Dems will not control The House anymore , irrespective of what the majority is.
The House is not the Senate. You don't need a super majority to do anything. Just a simple majority.

conservative christians need to get over themselves as " worldly or popular". The numbers seem large, but in percentage points, they are a not even close to a majority.

You have to choose..God or the World, you can't serve 2 masters. In the end, you will love one and hate the other. - Whats your choice? God or control of the government?.

Do you not know, it's God who puts people in power for his purposes?

We simply have to keep at it. We didn’t win as many seats as we would have liked. That said, we did manage to bag several RINOs and we got far more MAGA candidates in office in the House and even a few in the Senate. We also did a lot to pry control over precincts away the RINO Establishment’s hands.

Keep doing all the above.

Let’s see if we can’t bag Ronna Romney as chair of the RNC and replace her with someone much better.

This fight was never going to be decided in one election cycle. The Establishment won’t give up power that easily. It has to be ripped away from them piece by piece.

Republicans are always screwing the Evangelicals, always have, always will. They consider them “low hanging fruit.”

“And its Buh Bye to Pelosi.”

No matter how many times it's repeated,
Red Wave/No Red Wave
The fact to grasp is this:
The numbers materialized and we
succeeded to make Nan from San Fran disappear.

The GOPe like China Mitch has always hated pro-life Christians. They think it gets in the way of winning elections.

With a slim majority, a few defections can sink any effort. A few moderate Republicans could join Democrats in opposing legislation or a few members of the Freedom Caucus could complain legislation isn’t strong enough and refuse to vote for it .

I very highly doubt we’ll see an impeachment of Biden or any of his officials or a vote to refer criminal charges of if the same to the DOJ

Yup... uniparty

NH

Pa

I have less trust of the Republicant leadership and way more disdain for them.

The uniparty, gang of 8 crap had to go...

Well past time to repeal the 17th Amendment and restore our Republic. Might as well eliminate the Senior Executive Service too.

Our Founding Father’s were not stupid

Its an 8 seat majority right now, more than enough to clobber the Dems any time we want.

A few moderate Republicans could join Democrats in opposing legislation or a few members of the Freedom Caucus could complain legislation isn't strong enough and refuse to vote for it .

Freedom Caucus members would much rather take poison than vote with the evil Democrats.
Not going to happen.

The Hill has become nothing more than a “small pile”, leaving your imagination to complete the sentence.

Couldn’t agree more !
Well said, deserves repeating.

We simply have to keep at it. We didn’t win as many seats as we would have liked.

That said, we did manage to bag several RINOs

( and identified a boatload more that were in the closet )

and we got far more MAGA candidates in office in the House and even a few in the Senate.

We also did a lot to pry control over precincts away the RINO Establishment’s hands.

Keep doing all the above.

This fight must be continued every election cycle from now on.

Eternal vigilance.

<>Republicans got their @$$es kicked NATIONWIDE<>

FL, which cleaned out its corrupt supervisors of elections and added electoral integrity laws after the Gore v. Bush debacle of 2000 enjoyed a Republican near sweep of offices in the 2022 midterms.
