You aren't wrong on most of this. I'll be glad to see this idiot out of office. Hopefully the GOP can get their **** together.

Sounds more like Dallas Cowboys fans saying THIS TIME Jerry will hire the right coach and do it right.

Governors matter.
They all matter and not at the same time. Trump has good viewpoints on economics like the JFK Democrat that he is. Unfortunately, he tries to shoehorn “his guys” in and hurts the GOP in these elections. Vivek running in OH was an unmitigated disaster on the level of Dr Oz push by Trump to run for PA senator in 2020.

Republicans were going to lose big tonight with or without the war.
The war likely made it even worse, but they were going to lose soundly tonight regardless.

The only thing that rivals it is Yellowstone.
It’s all a game and is intended to keep us divided on purpose. Don’t pay attention to the man behind the curtain…
Smart call to just live your life. Nothing really changes for you except the names of the people in charge. Reality is the politicians have very little room to deviate from each other. Social security, Medicare, Defense spending and national debt obligations has seen to that.

There are some people that say he is a great businessman. But never head of a publicly traded successful company, never looking out for shareholders. Just efforts to put his name on things.

Some truth to that. But then we collectively turn around to give a bunch of worthless SH!tbags who never worked in private sector election wins. So we all still lose. Yay us

The war wasn't popular, but nobody changed their vote because of it. It's the economy stupid! Everybody saw high food and gas prices every day. That did change some votes and dampen Republican turnout.
