A dem wipeout is a sure bet at this point. The large number of democrats congress people retiring or not seeking reelection is a sure sign of it.
I never mentioned Trump, I was talking about Repubicans.
As sure as the sun rising tomorrow .
He is warning about a Dem wipeout in November. I sure hope Americans are disturbed enough about so many current U.S. situations, that they let it be known when they vote!
Michael Bloomberg warns Democrats 'headed for a wipeout' in midterms

Of course you do. Unless it is freedom to vote, freedom to make medical decisions, freedom to collective bargaining, freedom to marry whomever we want, freedom to teach true history.
So Trump is not the leader of the GOP? Who, pray tell, is the leader of the GOP?
Total LW nonsense spiel. Not worth my time to show you foolish this crap is.
That's what I was hoping you'd say. Because I was really worried that you would come back and show me how foolish this crap is. I really dodged a bullet, here.

Not really. An edge surely, but much of the damage to Democrats is self inflicted.
Biden is History's gift to Trump's legacy.
The Senate is hanging by a thread but the thread has not broken yet.
So it's only opposition gerrymandering that is harmful. Got it.
Everyone says that and everyone means it. It's the definition of stupid spending that gets you in trouble.Anytime the House prevents stupid spending, I’m happy!
I'm not worried about Trump. He's only saying the obvious--Putin is good at this sort of game.
Like stupid spending in RaleBulgarian's post, defining true patriots will get you in conflict.
The Senate is possible though probably not even 50% any longer.
Why do you think that? He is quite popular in PA and thus far the GOP nomination looks to be going OZ's way....spare me Lord if the choice is Oz or Fetterman and they go with Oz.
You think McConnell makes a difference?
One lesson I’ve wished for years the Dems would take from Republicans is “stand together in public, bicker amongst yourselves privately”.
Removing the names of traitorous Confederates from public schools, military bases, and other government buildings is long overdue, but certainly less important in the present than taking action to protect and educate children. No argument , the SF school board badly lost sight of what’s most important, and got what they deserved. A shame they all couldn’t be recalled.
I agree, and think it’s likely too late to save Congress from Trumplicans taking over next January.
Most major pundits rate it a tossup. Fetterman is only the Lt Governor, not Governor and that's a fairly big deal. He is imposing as hell, has great name and profile recognition, and seems to be the leader in fundraising, but he is not even sure of the Democrat's nomination.
Here is a UVa article on similar subjects. It concludes that there are going to be fewer contested races, but the ones that are close are more likely to flip.The latest with redistricting
FEB. 23, 2022
Thirty-eight states — most recently Pennsylvania and North Carolina — have now finished redrawing their congressional maps (not counting the six states with only one congressional district). And every other state has at least begun the redistricting process.
Although Republicans went into the redistricting cycle with control over drawing more districts, it is actually Democrats who have gained ground from the process at this point. So far, redistricting has created 12 more Democratic-leaning seats nationally, five fewer Republican-leaning seats and seven fewer highly competitive seats. This is due to aggressive map-drawing by Democrats in states such as New York as well as court decisions overturning Republican gerrymanders in Ohio and North Carolina.
After accounting for incumbency, however, Democrats’ gains should be smaller: Democrats will likely flip around three seats in 2022 due to redistricting. In addition, Republicans have helped their own cause by converting light-red districts into safer seats in states like Texas.
However, there are still a few unknowns that could change these topline takeaways. For instance, Republicans who control the redistricting process in Florida are divided over how far to press their advantage. A bipartisan map has already passed the state Senate, but Gov. Ron DeSantis has proposed an alternative that would give Republicans more seats. Another big wild card is how the Ohio Redistricting Commission redraws the Buckeye State’s map.

Yes Lamb but at this point not sure it is a serious challenge. If it's Fetterman against OZ my money says the Lt Govenor will beat the carpet bagger.
Inflicted because they weren’t the majorities when redistributing took place.
noRemember, “elections have consequences”?So it's only opposition gerrymandering that is harmful. Got it.
I’m well aware of VA’s redistricting practices. IMO, we have the fairest system for redistricting in the country.
You're a Democrat, so that's no shock.
No. The self-inflicted damage was when Democrats abandoned everything but urban centers. You can see it in several states with one or two major cities and large rural areas. For example Wisconsin. There are posters who claim that it's an example of gerrymandering, but it's not. Democrats focused all their attention on Madison, Green Bay, and Milwaukee and ignored the rest of the state. Look at the third sub-image. This was all between redistricting.
You laugh now, but Biden is the punchline of the joke.
You are the one complaining about Republicans having more control in redistricting. That is a consequence of elections.
Then quitcher bitchin'.
What that has to do with a professor writing book on national trends is unclear.
