It is already beyond belief that so many American voters still vote Dem when it means rampant violent crime, millions of welfare mooching criminal illegal aliens to support, daily lies from the government, no rights of privacy or freedoms and worse.

Will win GA with a halfway decent candidate (Hershel wasn’t) and will finally lose ME. Will probably lose NC and potentially OH with Sherrod Brown running again. I’m not seeing a lot of pickup opportunities but rather GOP will be lucky to hold Senate.

I don't think Collins will lose Maine. Maybe she'll get 50% but she'll win. Trump won 45% of the vote in 2024 so Collins is not going to need that many voters from the other team to secure her reelection. Maybe if it was in a state like Massachusetts, she'll be in trouble. But her brand of "Republicanism" suits Maine rather well.

I figure the whole Democrat party will be on trial for treason or a closely equivalent charge throughout the entire 2026 campaign season. Should be on the nightly news as shocking detail after shocking detail is unveiled for the public’s viewing pleasure. Perhaps that will have an impact on voting.

I know, and we will likely see a Democrat sweep of 2025 elections in November.

Stephen Miller/Charlie Kirk are better builders.

Trump/Vance are rock stars.

Minnesota

While Republicans will work to defy political history in next year's midterms, they point to the Democratic Party's current brand issues

Current brand issues in Minnesota include Tim Walz utterly ignoring upwards of a $billion (with a "B") in fraudulent theft of program money for the "poor" and "school kids."

We also have a Democrat State Senator Nicole Mitchell, who was just found guilty in a trial such that she burglarized her step-mother.

There is the omnipresent Ilhan Omar who married her brother to get him into the country.

Democrats are well known to be pretty corrupt in this state. Neverteless, the national Republican Party should use their cash elsewhere. Minnesota is a rigged state. No Republican will be winning a statewide election.

Scott, the conservative senator from South Carolina, told Fox News Digital soon after taking over late last year as chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) that he aimed to increase the GOP's control in the chamber to at least 55 seats.

Can he count? The goal should be 60 or he should be fired.

Nah. We should go for the nuclear option.

The Democrats almost did it but Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin stopped them from doing it. Now they're no longer in the Senate as a result.

Her brand of “Republicanism” doesn’t suit me very well.

I live in Maine and a lot of conservatives here are pissed off at her for a number of reasons, and so am I.

You're not going to get Ted Cruz in Maine.

At least she voted for Kavanaugh.

33 seats would normally be up in the 2026 election, but it will be 34 because of Ohio (election to fill the last two years of J. D. Vance’s term). A lot of those seats are either solidly Republican or solidly Democrat so there is only so much room for possible pickups.

Supreme Court here we come! I believe we will increase, and, our beloved Clarence Thomas will resign (maybe after writing the majority overturning Obergefell? Or do I hope too much) and Trump will solidly the Court. Please God.
