I'm not saying everyone loved all of his immigration enforcement tactics. I'm saying it wasn't the issue voters swung to the other side for as highlighted by the poll from days before the election.

And with JD Vance's support of his vile comment, probably ended any chance of Vance running in 2028 as Trump Jr.

I remember seeing an early clip of her talking like this during the primary and I just couldn't imagine that she would be a good candidate. But I dunno, I'm not midwestern.

"Republicans woke up "in shock" this morning after they got hit with the biggest midterms wave in 50 years. Within hours, it turned into rage and despair.

Why it matters: House Republicans are savaging their leaders and each other, while Senate Republicans are questioning what they can get done before Democrats take power next year.

They'll have four days to grieve before going back to work in Washington.

In the House, every GOP leader lost reelection, stepped aside or faces a challenger in next week's leadership elections."

Ron DeSantis was interviewed on CNN this morning.

He gave a VERY SOBERING assessment of the Republican Party and how dim their prospects are from here on out through 2028.

Not just in the senate and house. but judges too.
Everything.

"This is close to an extinction level event for Republicans in the last 100 years"

Seeing reports the Dems won the national House by 13 so the poll undercooked Dems by about 6% of the poll.

Some interesting graphics here, particularly the one examining how many voted to express disapproval of Trump. Not a well liked president with strong negatives will do that. Corruption played BIG in the election, which is remarkable considering the dems have been taking a beating on healthcare corruption in Minnesota and Maine all year …but not unexpected given the obscene and gross monetization of the office by Trump and his cronies as outlined in other threads

Mitt Romney lists reasons for Republican failure in 2026 midterms https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/6199146-romney-lists-midterm-failures/


"Tonight's outcome isn't about placing faith in Democrats or socialist principles; it's about holding Republicans accountable for betraying their promises," Massie said on X.

"All Republicans had to do was: 1. put Americans First 2. not start another war 3. prosecute sex traffickers," he added."

"It's looking like the North Carolina Dems will have a *supermajority* in the State House

It currently has an R supermajority

I have never seen political whiplash like this at any time, ever, in my 45 years on God's Earth"

From what I've read, a top Republican super PAC pulled their funds from North Carolina back in October after months of poor polling and outraising from Cooper's campaign.

Never mind that the Republican Party picked a candidate that no one knew and who had never held public office. His opponent, Michael Whatley did nothing but push "attack" ads on tv.

Cooper on the other hand had been Governor and held statewide positions with an approval rating over 50% in the months after he had left the governor's mansion and had NEVER LOST A STATEWIDE RACE.

Cooper's campaign slogan was literally "Make Stuff Cost Less"

Didn't Tequila just move to North Carolina?
Maybe he can add some insight.
