2026 Midterm Thread

[GroverCleveland]

At a retreat of House Republicans, Trump said the consequences could be personal for him. "You got to win the midterms because if we don't win the midterms, it's just going to be − I mean, they'll find a reason to impeach me. I'll get impeached," he lamented.

We see what he actually cares about. Not advancing his agenda just that he’ll get impeached again. And the answer is yes he absolutely will get impeached. The only question is will he do something that actually warrants his removal and he gets convicted or will it just be more wasted political theater

Wasted time on political theater. The progressive impeachments will begin spring of 2027. To be fair, it will be hard to advance any agenda after the mid-terms.

So make it federal law that they have to follow

Then that isn’t “mandated to the states”. And as pj said congrats on wanting more big government

Yep. Any progression of his agenda likely ends the day the next Congress is sworn in.

And he seems to be singularly unaware his mouth is his biggest enemy.

And he seems to be singularly unaware his mouth is his biggest enemy.

And the mouths of some of the morons around him. Stephen Miller immediately comes to mind. In a very minor defense of Trump I’m not sure he could think all of this stupid up on his own.

Not following you here with blaming Gingrich. And seems a major contributor to the party has been left off the list.

I wasn't blaming Gingrich, I was saying that congress hasn't functioned properly since he was SoH.

What a load of crap

 

[MOOOOONEY]

It’s going to be a blood bath.

Trumpy, the house, and senate have set republicans back 10 years.

If you’re a republican never fear the Dems will screw up just as bad when they take power.

 

[NorthDallas40]

What a load of crap

Oh it’s a factual statement. It’s more federal assertion over a constitutionally mandated state process. If you want it done then get an amendment thru that’s the historically correct process to take authority from the states and cede it to the Feds. Well… it’s the method that would hold up to legal challenges anyway.

Yes, Miller needs to learn to shut up as well.

That is the bad part. The morons controlling the Democratic party are going to think the crap they're pushing is what America wants. This pendulum swing is going to be bad.

 

[Rickyvol77]

Then provide everyone a free, government issued ID with ample time before the election. Problem solved.

Any state can do that now

It wont be a blood bath. Rs will keep Senate. Ds will get House but not nearly as much as they should...

Even Fox is considering the possibility of losing the Senate now. I think it’s probably more competitive than expecting to keep the majority out right I think they will have to put some work in. And get Trump to keep his mouth shut on attacking vulnerable candidates. The GOP has a huge monetary war chest advantage and should have adequate resources to defend as long as they prioritize keeping the Senate.

I think any republican that has affixed themselves to Trump has a very strong chance of losing.

Unfortunately most have.

Trump is a stench that’s hard to get rid of.

Not so sure about that. I would tend to agree the Rs will hang on to the Senate

The Ds will win the House. They will net closer to 20 than 40-50 seats, which is what job approval polls would point towards...

Ds have done a horrible job messaging and still are getting pulled towards the fringe....

If Paxton wins the nomination for Senate and Dems find enough common sense to put up Talarico over Crockett then that senate seat is in play. There is zero chance I’d ever vote for Paxton for anything and many Texans are tired of his This is another idiot self inflicted GOP tactical error trying to primary Cornyn

Dems need +4 to take Senate. Even with Maine (which they are doing their best to screw up an almost sure thing), they have to

Keep Georgia

AND

Keep Michigan

AND

Win 3/5 in Iowa, Alaska, Ohio, Texas, and North Carolina

Oh I think you’re probably right like I said they will just have to put some work in. But again don’t underestimate Donald Trump’s ability to run his mouth and totally screw things up.

Agree. Might only be outweighed by Dems going to the fringe...

A rational sane party from 20 years ago, either of them, could run the table. But that isn’t the idiocracy we live in

Prove us wrong then. Get on board with voter ID and let's see if it changes anything. What do you have to lose?

I'm fine with voter ID. I'm just not obsessed with it nor do I think not having it contributes to any sizeable amount of fraud like Trump wants you to believe.
