Most of the discussion so far about Tuesday’s primary elections has focused on the ongoing battles between factions within the two parties. But there’s a bigger story that pundits are missing: Strong turnout in Republican primaries portends an excellent year for the GOP.

True, but then they were solely focused on defeating Trump. In 2022, they will be instead focused on retaining control of Congress. I expect them to reallocate their resources appropriately.

Yes! I saw that and higher Republican turnout in NC also. That also had never happened as far back as I could discern. OH was almost double Republicans to Democrats.

I’m going to love shoving clam chowder in your face when the establishment does absolutely jack shit ala 2016-2018 when they hold the reigns again.

Please tell me the glories of mitch and paul assisting Trump in a MAGA Agenda.
I think you are the biggest establishment punk around these parts.

If most of these R’s winning are die hard MAGA then perhaps i’ll be wrong. I still remember 2010 and everyone here chirping about how glorious a Conservative Marco Rubio was, and Mike Lee in Utah.

Every precinct matters—but at the end of the day if state officials refuse to prosecute Democratic cheaters this problem cannot be solved.

Washington DC is a true swamp.

New Senators and Congresscritters are courted with carrots and threatened with sticks if they don’t play ball with the Deep State, the army of lobbyists and the bureaucracy.

It is an uphill fight for folks with character—it is an easy ride for the gutless and/or corrupt.

It’s “claim chowder” not “clam chowder” and in order for it to apply I have to make a claim.

I only made a claim about the GOP taking the House. You can take that one to the bank. Biden becomes a lame duck when that happens.

There’s a trailer park doomer contingent that wants the Democrats to have more power because they can continue to wallow in their despair and doom and cry and whine all while spouting the latest conspiracy trash from grifter blogs.

If not wanting to be a part of that me “establishment” so be it.
