LIVE Today: Primaries in Idaho, Kentucky, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Oregon (results ccming in!)

Absolutely agreed.

Dems don’t waste any opportunity, whether gaining one seat or the whole house, or jumping on a China virus. They don’t hem and haw and act cautious. So no time is wasted bringing us more through fascism and to communism.

In post 211, you insisted that 99% of the vote was in.

That was wrong.

In post 253, you insisted that there were only 50K votes left at that point.

That was wrong.

Politico was wrong. You were wrong.

You were whining about the midterm turnout. It turns out that the GOP turned out more than the Democrats, and that hasn’t happened in the past (as far back as I checked.)

2006: GOP 583K Democrat 654K
2010: GOP 820k Democrat 1.05 million
2014: GOP 374k Democrat 854k
2018: GOP 737k Democrat 767k
2022: GOP 1.3 million (and rising) Democrat 1.18 million

I was right. You were wrong. Politico was wrong.

Oh, and this morning we learned that DCCC internal polling has the GOP ahead by 8% in the generic ballot.

LOL!

The Only member to support KBJ was Romney and he would not have had his vote been decisive.

[TexasGurl24]

The mere fact that Roe is on the cusp of being overturned is thanks to McConnell not giving Garland a hearing in 2016 when Scalia died.

Too many people here forget that.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Wait a minute. First you stated if it’s not the Trump-backed candidate.

Then you state if it’s an “anti-Trump” candidate.

They are not the same thing.

[centurion316]

I don’t see much difference between the two.

Most people who do this have the same response. There is a profound difference, but the difference is in the aggregate, not in the difference between two individuals.

The Democrat Party is much more disciplined than is the Republican Party. A Democrat politician will pay a price for going against the party line and therefore seldom do so, unless the party gives them permission to vote against them. This does not happen in the Republican Party. They can defy the Party at will and do so often. Look at Senator Murkowski and Senator Collins. Senator Manchin may vote against the Democrats, but usually in an issue that is not critical, or when they don't need his vote. Democrats vote as a block and the Republicans don't. Its as simple as that.

The fight for the country is between the parties and not what you learned in 9th grade, that the fight is between individual candidates based on policies and promises.

For this reason, I will always vote for the most conservative candidate in the race, except that I never vote for a Democrat. Democrats are never the most conservative in a race even if they claim to be. Conservatives never vote for a Democrat, period.

Doesn’t have to be Trump backed but anti Trump or anti MAGA. If Trump goes out of his way to be very much against someone that’s enough for me as that person will be very much against Trump in the long run. Barette, for example . Not Trump backed but clearly not anti Trump. Would have been fine with her.

LOL. Citing Politico's estimates doesn't make me wrong.

You were whining about the midterm turnout. It turns out that the GOP turned out more than the Democrats, and that hasn’t happened in the past (as far back as I checked.)

Given the high visibility of the race, huge amount of money spent in the GOP primary, and unhappiness with the Biden regime, I expected a significantly higher turnout in the race, especially compared to the Dem race. Trump received 3,379,055 votes in 2020. Using past midterms omits the far different conditions today.

Republican registrations surge in Pennsylvania in warning sign for Democrats

Republicans are registering formerly Democratic voters at four times the rate that Democrats are making the reverse conversion in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, a warning sign for Democrats as they try to keep control of the U.S. Congress.

While registered Democrats still outnumber registered Republicans by more than half a million in Pennsylvania - 4 million Democrats to 3.4 million Republicans as of March 28 - the long-held Democratic advantage continues to narrow and is on pace to be the smallest in a general election since 2005.

[TexasGurl24]

You didn’t just cite Politico’s estimates. You INSISTED that they were right, even though it was pointed out that they couldn’t be.

You dug your heels in, over and over again, and still won’t admit that you were mistaken.

Further, this all started because you wanted to claim that the Democrats had a much higher turnout than the GOP.

1. They didn’t.
2. It is unheard of for the GOP to BEAT the Democrat midterm turnout in Pennsylvania. The GOP did it last night. This is an OMINOUS warning sign for the Democrats in November.

You wanted to play “sky is falling.” When they rug got ripped out from you, you started playing coy and passing the buck.

Here’s the bottom line.

The GOP is going to take the House by a wide margin in November. There is nothing that the Democrats can do to stop the slow motion train wreck that is coming their way.

No amount of stomping feet, crying, playing doomer or wishcasting will change that.

For us? We are done. I’ve proven my point and I’ll now accept my accolades.

I think McCormick’s apoearance on Laura Ingraham’s show the night before the election made an impact with the conservative base. He made a convincing case against Oz who has flipflopped on all the major issues. All three candidates sought Trump’s endorsement.

Unless we change what was done in 2020 to steal elections up and down the ticket, I wouldn't take a victory lap quite yet. We still have drop boxes and use Dominion machines. When you reward something, you get more of it.

The Democrats will try to win at all costs. And they have allies in Deep State, Big Tech, and the MSM. I anticipate that the DOJ working with the J6 committee will indict President Trump before the midterms. And jury nullification in DC will prevent Durham from getting any convictions.

DHS has already signaled that this summer will see riots and civil unrest over the SCOTUS decision to overturn Roe vs Wade. Fauci says we can expect a new wave of Covid in the Fall. Sound familiar?

For us? We are done. I’ve proven my point and I’ll now accept my accolades.

Proven it to whom?

[ifinnegan]

Biden is not a legitimate president.

Agree or disagree?

-

I’ve already answered that question for you back in September.

---

What was you’re answer?

Is your answer the same today as it was in September?

[ifinnegan]

Thanks for your post.

One thing they try to do is make you, us, feel alone or out of step.

Your observations are 100% on the mark.

So many anti-Trump operatives.

On this thread for example

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4064326/posts

There’s even a poster called joesbucks using the term “alternative facts” to put Trump down.

That term was all the rage with the Democrat social media influencers a few years ago.

No one but democrat propagandists used it in the way joesbucks uses it today.

[tbewin]

Correct on all accounts...unfortunately!!!

“It’s NEVER worth losing the senate, not even for a cycle. The Dems do so much damage in such a short amount of time!!!”

And if you believe in election fraud you’d know that if e lose the Senate, we will never get it back. We are literally fighting for our lives at this point. If we allow demons to take control of the Senate and the house they WILL put us in extermination camps.
