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
Fair point
I agree with your sentiment though.
This country needs a major kick in the rear. That cannot happen with a fillibuster rule in the Senate. So what we are left with is who can get a fillibuster free trifecta first. The Dems are actively campaigning for this and if they get it, it will be very, very hard to undo what they pass.
Unfortunately for those of us that are against such things, the other side of the legislature is providing absolutely zero in response. They refuse to take the action necessary to repair the damage done to our country
So basically when you vote, it can feel like at times you are voting whether or not you just want to bleed out slowly
NEW: Undercover footage obtained by @realDailyWire's @JWheelertv shows the longtime pastor at @jamestalarico's woke Austin church saying his political makeover is a lie.
The current slate of Democrat candidates is so far out of whack that even the very Liberal Detroit press is refusing to endorse these Democrats and instead endorsing Republican for voters to choose:

Wow...you have to admit the Democrats have chosen very, very bad candidates when even their usual reliable shills in the mainstream media tell voters to vote for the Republicans instead of these Democrat Socialist crazies....

EVEN LEFT WING DEMOCRATS COME TO UNDERSTAND AT SOME POINT THAT THEY'RE IN DANGER!!!!
Quote:Even though Donald Trump professes confidence that the nation loves him and his policies, he isn’t putting his money where his mouth is – and that has Republicans running scared, especially if they are running for office.
With midterms just 57 days away, Trump is almost 17 points underwater in the RealClearPolitics Average; Republican Senate candidates are at risk of losing what should be safe seats in Texas, Iowa, and Ohio; and MAGA Inc. – the Trump-supporting super PAC – is sitting on over $400 million that could make all the difference.
In the meantime, Vice President JD Vance’s campaign stop in Michigan
AM, come on bro, Yrump is simply trolling lwith that renaming stuff, just because so many people react to it like that. He is laughing his ass off.to support Mike Rogers in his uphill battle against socialist Abdul El-Sayed was notable mainly because it was one of the few such events attended by either Vance or Trump.
It’s enough to make you ask a simple question: Does President Trump really want Republicans to win the midterms and keep control of the House and Senate?
Or, if you don’t wish to read more, the gist of this opinion piece is that Trump only knows how to operate in the context of defining and attacking villains. And it is his unstated preference to be able to blame others for problems than it is to do the hard work of addressing those problems himself.
Donald Trump knows how to run an effective campaign. He did it masterfully in the year preceding the 2024 election. He now has < two months before the midterms. Time to see if he really cares about what is best for our nation or best for him personally.
So far, this horse-**** renaming nonsense is not looking very promising.
Come on, man. Trump is just trolling, like he always does.

Yeah, I get it. It’s all just a bit of hilarious, orange-tinted yucks. No harm.
At least, that is ….
No harm until we lose the House (and possibly even the Senate) in the midterms.
Because Trump trolls people?
Im sure there are total idiots who think it is trolling and laud such trolling as being productive.
Cool cool.
Show me where I said it was productive, genius.
3A, I am the LAST poster on this board willing to make excuses for tanq. If we each were give a single black-ball banning option, he’d be my selection.
But let’s remember the context here. The topic is the upcoming midterms. The point being made is the impact of Trump’s decision to troll a vast number of voters that he ought to be courting just weeks before the election.
Tanq.'s dishonesty is a problem for this board. Trump's trolling is a problem for this nation. Losing the House in November will be aggravating. Losing the Senate also will be disastrous.

Which has absolutely zero to do with Tanq saying I thought the trolling was productive, when I never said any such thing.

I never said anything about what you specifically said or thought, WB.
Maybe try reading my words, dipstick, instead of kneejerk translating them. Again try some reading comprehension lessons, my friend.
I’m surprised at your umbrage. Even when you follow your post on Trump trolls with a laughter emoji. I guess that laughter emoji indicates your deep disapproval and criticism of that trolling. There are better ways to express that disapproval, good sit. Just a thought.

The only ones surprised here or thinking this means anything are people who don't know what they're talking about.
Exhibit 5,684,165 why you should not blindly use talking points.
So they are conservative, but didnt endorse Trump?
Correct. And it was the first time in their history that they did not. Now, brainiac, what should that have told you?
From 2016:
Quote:Overnight, the Detroit News, which has always endorsed the Republican nominee for President, didn't, and its history of doing so goes back 143 years.
The paper's editorial board, in this morning's edition, said it did it for one reason: donald j. trump.
"The 2016 nominee offered by the Republican Party rubs hard against the editorial board's values as conservatives and Americans," wrote Detroit News editors. "donald trump is unprincipled, unstable and quite possibly dangerous. He can not be president."
Instead, the board endorsed Libertarian candidate, Gary Johnson.
"We recognize the Libertarian candidate is the longest of long shots with an electorate that has been conditioned to believe only Republicans and Democrats can win major offices," Detroit News editors wrote. "But this is an endorsement of conscience, reflecting our confidence that Johnson would be a competent and capable president and an honorable one."
