Dems won't abolish the fillibuster under Trump because it would be pointless and he would veto everything anyways

GOP won't abolish the fillibuster so basically you are looking at judges - which with a slim GOP majority leaves it in the hands of the Bobsy Twins

Whomever wins not much will change

Two years of Congress doing nothing.

All the while both parties start looking for their candidate for POTUS.

EXACTLY!!

Nothing major is going to be done no matter who wins in November

The biggest reason to vote GOP is potential Supreme Court vacancies.

An open Supreme Court seat on the line in 2028 would make the entire process even more unbearable than it is now

20+ Republican leaders just endorsed James Talarico over Ken Paxton.

Does anyone know what they all have in common?

One of them was the chief of law enforcement in the Texas AG office, literally the 'top cop' in the AG office.

Another was chief justice of the Texas Supreme Court, the third longest tenured Chief Justice in Texas history.

That's pretty good, "was" being the key word.

If anyone needs a betting tip, Cooper is going to destroy Whatley in NC

No one knew who Whatley was coming into this and this dude thought running a ghost campaign for 6 months was the way to beat the Undertaker at WrestleMania of NC elections

Now he is running attack ads focusing on Cooper pardons, which has never been an issue before, and is already getting debunked

Beating Cooper was always going to be tough but NC Republicans dropped the ball big-time with this joker

Republicans don't want to win the midterms.

Why? I don't know.

You would have thought NC Republicans would have learned after the disastrous 2020 NC Governor election where the GOP candidate did nothing to get his name and ideas out there. This is like a redux of that

If someone could show proof they were actively trying to lose it wouldn't surprise me in the least

I think the the '3rd longest tenured Chief Justice in Texas history' is the key point, my friend.

As well as 'literally the top cop in the AG office.'

But you being MAGA apologist to the bone, Im sure the key word is 'was'. Cool cool.

Maxwell is a pretty tall figure in law enforcement here in Texas, old pal. Knows pretty much anyone who is anyone in legal and law enforcement circles. But please keep up that kneejerk dismissal that has your rapt attention. Lolz.

Far from a rage, sir. Just pointing your steadfast apologist stance for all things MAGA.

If one wishes to point out fixating on *a* word, it is *your* fixation on w
‘Was’ as your piss thin apologist stance, good sir.

What is going to be your next knee jerk MAGA excuse? Oh, knee jerk MAGA excuse for a list you don’t have fing clue who they might be and what they might have done. Does that about cover it, my friend?

"MAGA apologist to the bone"

Can you point out where on this Board Where I have been a MAGA apologist? Please be specific.

I’ll never understand the point in arguing with idiots. They just drag you down to their level.

I don't know why everyone frets so about the mid-terms. No matter who wins nothing will change.

Facts. The biggest potential negative would be a Supreme Court justice replacement not being able to be passed before the 2028 election if the Dems take the Senate

If the Dems take the House Congress will just obstruct harder. But they are doing a pretty good job of that now
