The wheels are coming off of the GOP. It will be the Trumpy candidates that prevent them from taking either chamber. Most of them are going to lose.

Nothing to do with Trump.  A failure to clearly articulate a roadmap and a legislative agenda along with some overall vision in contrast with the Biden agenda and record to date will undo Republican efforts to retake Congress. Just saying the other guys are doing poorly so don't vote for them isn't enough. 

What's the benefit to replace one group of representatives doing nothing with another group of representatives that will do nothing?  But maybe that's what our system has devolved into?

He says at the end of that piece that the POTUS created what ever percentage of jobs WHAT NO when he took office all those people were off work because of the pandemic & now they are going back to work so that is his great economic ideas at work ?? 

 

I THINK NOT !!  It's just plain common sense but once again this guy is trying to take people going back to work as his accomplishment the same as he does with getting the vaccine out to people that want it . A leopard never changes it's spots !!

While absolutely true, I think these people absolutely want to ban every single gun.

 

Have to get them on record to say as much.

Even if they had a new platform they don’t have good enough candidates to articulate that message since Trump chose the craziest people he could find that seem loyal.

Where are the stories or headlines "Can the GOP win back the House" with clear overtones they will and should - just like you saw the reports and stories about Ds potentially winning the House in 2018?

 

Weird.  

 

 

"Are you better off then you were 2...4 years ago when Ds slowly stole back DC?"

By chance, have you been following the Democratic primary race in the Texas 28th congressional district?? Jessica Cisneros versus Henry Cuellar? If so, any quick thoughts?? Mine:

 

1. It’s shameful (but predictable) for Pelosi and Clyburn to be backing a scandal-ridden, pro-NRA, anti-Roe DINO like Cuellar in this particular election season.

2. Cisneros is probably going to lose by an incredibly small margin (<100 votes??), but it was still a very impressive showing since she almost beat an incumbent who had the entire financial backing of the Dem establishment.

3. I’m not at all confident like Pelosi is that Cuellar will win in November against Cassy Garcia, and I don’t think it even matters in the big picture because of the whole DINO thing.

4. This is a bellwether Dem primary and among the most important ones in the country. I think it shows that moderate Dems are slamming into a popularity ceiling with non-Cuban Latinos, and that suppression of progressive electoral energy is going to hurt in November. Meanwhile, we’re managing to see plenty of Latino enthusiasm for a candidate in conservative South Texas “despite” her full endorsement from a supposedly wacky NYC socialist.

5. The generational divide between moderate old Democrats and progressive young Democrats is once again rearing its ugly head. Democrats will have to somehow keep this caustic coalition glued for another five months in the face of a looming economic recession and a failed agenda for the working class (namely: Build Back Better).

Only 41% of American adults approve of Biden's performance as president as of his 487th day in office, according to Gallup. Trump's job approval among all adults was at 42% at the same point in his presidency.

"He's now lower than Trump, and he's really twisted about it," a source close to the White House told NBC News.

Biden is growing progressively more frustrated that his team has failed to find a strong, consistent message heading into the 2022 midterm elections, sources told NBC News.

Their message couldn't be any stronger:

 

1.  Inflation is Putin's fault (nothing is Brandon's fault)

2. Covid forever - mask and vax up

3. Buy an electric car

4. America is more racist then ever

5. We want to take ALL your guns 

6. Abort kids up thru birth 

 

 

The Democrats 2022.

CNN, Politico agree: Lawlessness may lead to "a political earthquake" in CA primaries

 

If California experiences “a political earthquake” in its primaries today, where precisely will the fault(line) be? Voters may well put it right underneath the increasingly radical Democratic Party and the progressives’ refusal to enforce the law.

Much of this is completely made up garbage.

 

1. I'll give you this one. While we can debate how much inflation was created by whom, but Biden is clearly trying to push the blame to Putin, who is responsible for some, but definitely not all, of the inflation.
2. I've seen Republicans claim over and over that the Dems want people to wear masks all of the time forever. This is a garbage straw man claim and when you push them on it, they move the goal posts around by trying to equate their claim to things like masking when there is a spike, or promoting regular vaccines. The whole thing is clearly a disingenuous gambit by hacks.
3. You can have this one too. Moving to electric cars will be a net positive for everyone and we should encourage growth, competition, and development in that market.
4. We literally had slaves. Like for hundreds of years. I'm sure there are some Very Online lefties who make this claim, but is there actually polling or evidence that Democrats as a whole believe we are more racist now than when we literally enslaved people? Or is this just another straw man anecdote pushed by bad faith actors?
5. Absolutely ridiculous claim that can only be believed by people who have so much isolated themselves from reality that they'll believe literally anything that makes them feel good or makes their perceived enemies look bad. Please point to the legislation drafted by the Dems and supported by the party that confiscates all guns.
6. Another garbage take that completely misconstrues the facts. Late term abortions are a hot topic because it sounds really bad until you actually think about it. The claim being made is that someone will carry a baby for 8 months and then suddenly decide they don't want it and get an abortion. This is completely unbelievable to anyone who knows anyone who has been pregnant. When an abortion occurs in the third trimester, it's usually because the baby is wanted but there has been some development that endangers the life of the mother or the baby is no longer viable. In these cases, they probably have a name picked out and a nursery decorated with a crib waiting. Banning abortions in this scenario is to say the government knows better how to handle this than the woman and her doctor. It would seem to me that keeping the government out of this situation would be the small "c" conservative approach, but once again, none of this is about actual policy. It's about putting out bad faith arguments to rile people up.

I would critique the GOP platform but... they don't have one. They decided that the GOP line is whatever their God King wants it to be. When the head of the RNSC actually came up with a platform, it was so unpopular that the GOP vocally distanced themselves from it. They have replaced it with... nothing.

 

In reality, the plan is to use bad faith and straw man arguments to rile people up so that they can enact their real goals of transferring wealth from working Americans to their corporate and donor overlords. Which, by the way, is why basically everything they do propose fails a basic root cause analysis (i.e. supply side tax cuts or preventing shootings by having fewer doors).

They already told you to mask up for monkeypox 

 

It doesn't matter if it isn't codified law.  The use of the "variants!" to frighten and divide this country is pathetically disgusting and Un American 

 

Masks should be BANNED

 

Their purpose is to promote fear and thus increase control and power.

Cool.  You agree their solution is buy electric.  Or, a giant middle finger to America and a sop to Big Green.

They are calling for gun bans

 

They will get challenged in lib courts with the "correct" judges....and put the 2nd Amendment at risk.

 

The Left is not hiding the fact they will ban them all

The opposite of all that.  

 

That's the platform.
