I pray every day for a gain for Republicans in the Senate, and re-taking the House.

Not mentioned but of equal importance is maintaining a veto proof majority. I think we will make some progress in the house. If we had a veto proof majority in both houses, it would be a good firewall should wooden head Biden get in.

It’s always an “upset” if democrats don’t win.

I guess because they get upset.

I just watched Biden mangle a very short speech. At times he did not seem to understand what he was reading.

I’m looking for John James (R) to win in Michigan Senate race.

I’d to see what Trump could do with both the Senate and the House....lot of Pubs would have to either go along or risk showing themselves for who they really are? While subtly promoting 2024 version of GHWB.

When was the last time either House of Congress had a veto-proof majority? I don’t think it’s ever happened in my lifetime.

Well he had the House for two years, but unfortunately it was led by globalist Paul Ryan.

Congress overwhelmingly rejected President Barack Obama’s bid to derail legislation allowing families of the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to sue the government of Saudi Arabia, handing him the first veto override of his presidency during his final year in office.

The Senate took the first step Wednesday, voting 97-1 to override Obama’s veto of the 9/11 bill. The House quickly followed with a 348-77 vote.

Just like Pennsylvania, the old Democrat Party in Minnesota is now officially dead. Political affiliations are almost like religion and it takes many years for people to change, often only as older generations disappear.

What used to be the party of farmers and union workers is now the party of Neo-marxist cultural revolutionaries and islamists.

You are probably correct in the formal sense of the word.

Unfortunately, the presence of RINOs makes it possible. I think Trump has already faced several of those situations.

That's a veto-proof VOTE, not a veto-proof majority for one political party.

Word to the Wise ... Any time you see a law passed by a 97-1 vote in the Senate you can be sure it is either an awful piece of legislation or is completely meaningless. That's the kind of vote you get for a bill that names a national park after some jackass you've never heard of before.

This would be a great get. With Collins, McSally and Gardner all but gone, we’re going to need a flip somewhere to go along with (hopefully) the flip in AL.

Outside of the Twin Cities, Minnesotans are mostly hardworking and down-to-earth. Natural Republicans. So come on over guys.

There is virtual radio silence on the Minnesota Senate Race, throw in the Michigan Senate Race and the almost guaranteed loss of the Democrat in Alabama...that would be 3 Democrats losing, meaning the Republicans would have 56 Senators, assuming no one loses, if Gardner, Collins, and two other Republicans lose, they still hold the Senate...

—hopefully—but with Keith Ellison as AG, the “late “ ballot boxes are crucial-—remember how Al Franken “won”-—

McSally has been polling well lately. If Trump takes the state, she takes the seat.
