We will. Trust me. People will get tired of the show impeachment trials put on by the Democrats.

I'm firmly against any efforts by democrats to impeach Trump or his cabinet... huge waste of time....

That is EXACTLY what is going to go down the next 2 years. Only a fool would think its not.

350 million spent to keep El-Sayad out of the Senate. He is an impressive politician.

He’s going to significantly underperform the national dem lean today, and he’ll be voted out in 6 years if his inability to mend fences with the moderates in his party is any indication. The dems could have nominated anybody with a pulse and won in Michigan today.

Way more than even the most radical leftist predicted. They will have 55 Senate seats and 30 governorships, the most since Republicans held that many after the 2012 election.

Well its only +21 at this point, which gets them to 235 with 112 (205-118) seats uncalled. I was curious where their gains were. Republicans haven't picked up any Democratic seats yet. But the Dems
Arizona
California (2) (Dems have 34 of 35 seats called with 59% of the vote in all of their wins and 59% or better in 10 of the 17 undecided seats)
Colorado
Iowa (3)
Indiana
Kentucky
North Carolina
Nebraska (probably not on the radar)
New Jersey
Ohio (2)
Pennsylvania (3)
Texas
Utah
Virginia (2)

As for governors, Dems have picked up TX, GA, IA and OH and lead 25-16 and will win Hawaii and likely Minnesota, but the Republicans appear to have won Vermont and likely New Hampshire and Tennesse, so that is 27-19 with no votes in for NV and Alaska and Kansas and Nebraska really close. So it will be between 27-23 and 31-19.

Mississippi is a literal dead heat now at 12:47 am central, democrats lead by 27 votes with 97% reporting. If they win there it will be an almost unthinkable 56 seats in the Senate for them. 260 in the house looks like a reasonable estimate, all that gerrymandering ended up hurting republicans and exacerbated this once in a generation blue tsunami.

Welp, this is the end.

Might as well not show up in 2028.

You won leftists.

Just tell me where the concentration camps are being built and when my report date is.

This wave is what happens when a congress is full scared ***** mode. Do your job, power of the purse at the very least.

But they didn't, they nominated a brilliant American Muslim, who didn't run from his faith. And he won.

Indefinitely. Once the number drop below six, they don't have a quorum and can't do anything.

I think that the Senate will refuse to fill any open SC seat as retribution for what McConnell did a few years ago, with an expectation that that they’ll have a different party in the WH in 2028.

Good. Now go away and stop boring us all to death with the exact same response and post in every single thread under the sun.

You have played your one single note to the point that most hope they never have to hear that note played again in their entire lives.

No.

It's coming.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Yeah, that falls in the set of “anybody with a pulse”.

FWIW, his issues aren’t his heritage or his faith, but rather his extreme socialist views and inability to find common ground with other democrats he deems to be not liberal enough. Republicans in Texas tried to paint Talarico with that brush but the insults didn’t stick bc he’s not actually that liberal. Abdul-Sayed, however, is Bernie Sanders-level liberal, without Sanders’ charisma and ability to pull others into his orbit. He’ll lose by 5 points in 2032, perhaps even 10 points.

At least we should see much higher quality Republican candidates in 2028 as primary voters place a premium on “electability” instead of “how slavishly devoted to Trump is he”. With Trump off the ballot in 2028, Democrats will think that their 2026 gains were due to their own greatness instead of Republican failures, and they’ll suffer the consequences just like Republicans did today.

FWIW, I’ll be quite pleased if I never see a politician question results he doesn’t like again. All that energy wasted relitugating 2020 did Republicans no favors this cycle, but they won’t have to dodge those questions in 2028. Instead, it will be moderate democrats getting hammered bc AOC or Bernie Sanders did some crazy socialist stunt.

You really think Republicans are going to change after tonight?

I don't think so.

That's why I re-registered as an Independent.

I still voted straight R down yesterday, thus certifying my death warrant.

A lot of Republicans who voted for Trump and Republicans the past three cycles broke for the Dems this time. Tom Cotton struggles against another farmer going against him. Dems almost got Tennessee. Sarah here is Arkansas almost went down as well. It seemed that not all Republicans were saved. The Iran war, the tariffs hurting the country, cut of the safety nets, Red states kicking disabled people off Medicaid and yes even if I doing the kidney cancer recovery I am being forced to do the work requirements like many others who are ill, urban hospitals closing, Snap being cut from hungry kids, ICE raids on farm and ranches to arrest legal workers, and many more. I have friends on Facebook who are farmers and ranchers are mad at Trump and the Republicans and voted for Dems. When you bleed your own voting block? Then you have to say should we redo these things over and not hurt their own people?

Pardon my early call, roast me if I am wrong.

I don't know what is sadder, the fact that you actually really think these are totally unique thoughts that no one has here has ever had or the fact that you think you need to say it over and over again.

There is something really, really off with you.

That's what autists do, schmuck.

I see what's coming.

You don't.

Perfect example of a terrible candidate, Republicans nominated Brandon Herrera to run in my district, Texas 23. The guy is obsessed with Nazis and mocked survivors of the Uvalde school shooting 4 years ago, and he’s the best you can give us?? Give us candidates who don’t suck in 2028 and you’ll win back a whole bunch of seats you lost today.
