2026 Midterms - Discussion

[Never1AShow]

JD Vance seems to me to be the only one that is looking why it happened and correctly getting the mood of the vast majority of Rs, including MAGA, on it as it relates to the war.  Neocons and RINOs are not where Rs are. 

There were two main causes for the slaughter on Tuesday, the Iran War and the alienation of Hispanics in massive numbers.  That second issue also needs to be dealt with, but it's maybe even harder than the first.  Amnesty or greatly reduced enforcement are non-starters, but cowboy tactics and stupid street enforcement strategies are also unwanted.

I agree. I think he needs to make himself look more strong, assertive, and independent if he's going to pick things up in 28.

  There are lots of jagoffs like this who get paid by billionaires through dark money to spread propaganda to scare people into voting against their interests. There's a reason the front row of Trump's inauguration was all billionaires. They are telling you who they are working for. Every GOP president gave huge tax breaks to the wealthy and push that stupid ass "trickle down economics" and the grammatically challenged idiots still fall for it. Well, the country is tired of the schtick. It didn't work. They a different strategy moving forward because fear tactics and lying isn't cutting it. I mean, how about, I dunno, POLICIES THAT HELP AMERICANS MAYBE? But we know they won't because they are bribed by the super wealthy so keep on pushing the lies and hate and see where that gets you in 2028. This country doesn't belong to only straight white conservative fake Christians.

This dude sounds like Boss Hogg from the Dukes of Hazzard. He's filling in for Lindsey Graham. At least he doesn't sound like a flaming homo. I don't believe Kennedy any more than I believed Graham. And even if Iran was "about to shoot missiles at Europe and the rest of the middle east" that's their damn problem. If Iran did it then all those people would have to deal with Iran, not us.

I don't get why dumb American politicians and presidents never understand such simple things. Ukraine = European war, let them solve it. Iranian long range missiles? Let EU countries deal with those.
Why always risk American lives and waste even more American taxpayer money? US already is 40 trillion in debt...

So basically creating a distracted driving road hazard while falsely assuming something about me.  Sounds like what a retard would do.

This Demented Geriatric didn't learn a thing.       Elevating Stephen Miller instead of bringing in fresh blood.

HAHAHAHA.  Right again.  So PREDICTABLE.

Trump could’ve learned lessons from the midterms. Instead, he promoted Stephen Miller.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/trump-could-ve-learned-lessons-203006939.html

A few weeks ago, during a brief Q&A, a reporter asked Donald Trump if he was considering replacing Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff. "Zero chance," the president replied. "Zero."

Acting as if he were annoyed at the idea of replacing Wiles, he added, "She's smart. She's tough. She just went through a lot with the cancer surgery and the whole thing, and she recovered, fully recovered. She's phenomenal. … Susie is here and she's going to be here for a long time."

A lot can change, apparently, in three weeks.

Examples abound of sitting presidents shaking up their teams after a midterm election cycle, especially one in which their party suffered significant losses. But as a rule, such overhauls are designed to be constructive or corrective, responsive to the circumstances and conducive to future governance.

Trump's announcement is the opposite of that. In fact, it's powerful evidence that, if anything, he learned all of the wrong lessons from the voters' unambiguous verdict on his failing presidency.

How would you feel about drastically cutting H1B visas and the like and also kicking foreign students out of American Universities?  Both of these are massively hurting our younger folks and profiting billionaires.  If you don't like those, what specific things would you want enacted to help people that the billionaires are stopping?

I get what you're saying. Republicans didn’t deliver on what they promised, took money from special interests and lobbyists (Democrats do this too), and did not show tangible results for the people who voted for them.

That said, I’m not optimistic the Democrats will do much better for the country, though time will tell. What policies are you hoping they’ll actually push that you think would help?

Personally, I’d like to see them get us out of Iran. I’d also like them to peel back some of the nondisclosure agreements politicians signed around the data centers, in case there’s corruption there. And maybe expand healthcare coverage without turning it into a fully government run, socialist style system.

I hope for those things. In general I’m pessimistic about Democrats because the pattern tends to be higher taxes and a further expansion of the entitlement philosophy. But again, time will tell.

Having spent significant time discussing this topic with funk I feel qualified to answer in his place.

#1 He's hoping they "get Trump" (whatever that means)
#2 He's looking forward to lower heating fuel prices.
#3 He's super concerned about the cost of eye drops as well.

  I couldn't have said it any better, just policies in general that benefit the average american citizen, enough of BLOB the builder and his fancy reflecting pools, arch of triumphs and fancy ballrooms.

They don't ever answer the question, it's been asked twice in this thread.  The answer to "affordability" is not free shit.

Look at the state of CA for what democrats think is a success.

   How is any of that asking for free shit. Last year I paid 3 bucks a gallon for heating oil this year first bill was 5.75 a gallon, my eye drops under obama were 50 bucks a month now under trump 225 a month[ that's a nice monthly payment on a car], gas was 2.43 under obama now 4.59 the other day. How is that free shit, I'm just using these as examples, I guess you think we are doing good under trumpism. so trump promising doge checks tariff checks election checks and never delivering anything but higher prices and hate is a good thing.

Improving the white house with renovations and fixing the pool are normal courses of business.  They're nothing.  They don't matter, and they don't prevent inner cities schools or social programs from getting money.

But when folks like you focus on them 24/7 for weeks, in order to give the impression that they're problems, the dummies believe they are.

I know you're just following orders here reposting all of it, but just wanted to point it out.

You're avoiding the question, which policies did democrats propose that will lower those prices?

Also WTF kind of car is $225/month? Not a nice one. LOL

What about ripping down the east wing and putting up a  ballroom did we need that. I guess we need an arch.

[WrongAdvices]

Under Obama? You mean under Biden?

I agree the Iran war should end that’s obvious and will bring fuel prices back down. But what were the eye drops under Biden.

[Gym Rat]

Again, youre a fake, hypocrite, weak, phony crybaby... All the libturd corruption you never said a peep.
Somali's in Minnesota, The Biden crime family, etc...

You whine about one-side only, when GOVT is corrupt all over, from the smallest town, to the biggest state.

Your fucking worthless brain is diseased...

   96 bucks a month. But according to coach biden was never president and in a way he was right. it's hard to get anything accomplished when  the senate and the house blocks everything.... careful now.

   https://www.instagram.com/p/DdKi5BGiYM_/     tons of nice cars apparently, but I actually meant as part of a payment. I was surprised how many good cars you can actually get for 225 a month. I guess you'll give credit to trump for that. I may or may not be back later going to watch the eagles of philadelphia play the giants of new york and then the 76 ers of philadelphia play the bulls of chicago. till then.
