The next mid term. I hear the dems are going to get slaughtered because the republicans have a fabulous platform of new ideas.

Y’all are so funny. You’re terrified of a trans person ogling your daughter/wife when they have no interest in them...
You've got it all wrong... I'm not concerned about an actual trans-woman, it's the pervs and rapists pretending to be trans that I'm worried about.

.
 
Do you think it's true? Not the slaughter part, the new ideas part.

Is it possible every republican candidate will run on the same thing, the dems are destroying 'our' america? Socialism and gayness is running rampant, they keep killing babies, they want our guns and don't believe in our god?

Sound reasonable?
It’s not looking like a slaughter to me. It’s not new ideas either. It’s rising prices and empty store shelves that has independents getting angry at Biden and company for not doing anything about it. Independents think Biden and company have all the wrong priorities. That Biden and company haven’t paid any attention or ignored what these swing voters view as this nation’s number one problem, this country’s most important issue. Thinning wallets due to inflation. The rising price for a gallon of gas, food, housing, clothes, electronics and other stuff. As long as the GOP is the party of Trump, they have no new ideas. Heck, they don’t even have old ideas.

As for the slaughter. First, look at redistricting. 47 states have completed their redistricting, 3 more remaining. There are now 397 newly drawn districts; 38 districts remain to be redrawn. Out of the 397 newly drawn districts, there are 42 competitive, switchable, at risk districts. Currently held by 29 Democrats and 13 Republicans. Safe seats as of 9 Apr 2022, 177 Democratic, 178 Republican. It is unknown how many safe seats or competitive/at risk seats the remaining 3 states will add to each column. The 3 remaining states are New Hampshire, Florida and Missouri.

Taking a SWAG going by just the 47 states with their new maps, it’s likely the GOP gains 8-12 seats. Which will change once the remaining 3 states complete their redistricting. That’s not a shellacking, but it’s enough for the Republicans to gain control of the house. Keep in mind these figures are dynamic and can change daily. You also have the generic congressional ballot where the Republicans lead 45.9 to 43.0. Back in June 2021, the democrats once lead 48-41. Inflation has taken its toll. The change, driven by independents, the non-affiliated, those less to non-partisan swing voters. They want Biden and company to tackle inflation, rising prices. But all they have heard from Biden and company is Trump, more Trump, the 1-6 hearings, the BBB, the voting rights act, etc. Everything but what Biden and company are going to do with what independents think is this nation’s most important problem.


The senate, you have 5 states, 3 held by democrats, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia and 2 by Republicans, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin where the consensus of the pundit’s rate them as pure tossups. You also have 2 states rated as lean. Democratic New Hampshire which leans Democratic, Republican North Carolina, leans Republican.

The GOP may make impressive gains because maybe the Silent Majority (which is composed of ALL ethnicities) respectfully disagree with left-wing extremists that:

1. It is OK for first graders to be taught that they are free to choose their gender.

2. Those folks who rob, sucker punch, loot, rape, & murder are victims of an unfair society.

3. Transgender women should be able to be naked in a women's locker room even if they still have a penis.

4. That anyone who wants to come to this country should be welcome, even if they cut the line of people who are patiently waiting in other countries to get permission to come here.
Wow, has this post been "foxed"

God bless

Straw man alert! The above is not true, but you know that.
 
Democrats had all of Congress and the WH and they blew it with woke stupidity.

That's the primary reason why they'll be roundly defeated in November.
That's definitely a part of it, but not the whole story. The Democrats have pushed their far left agenda, and everyone has gotten a good look at it and how it works. That's the main reason they'll be roundly defeated in November.

The silent majority gave Biden 7 million more votes than his opponent.

I guess they really are silent, they should have postal voted, but Trump told them to stay home. The man disenfranchised his own vote, not the action of a genius.
 
The simple fact is, our policies work, the leftist ones don't.
Social Security, Medicare, minimum wage, unemployment insurance, the right to organize, workers' comp, the ACA... all failures. On the other hand, cut taxes on the rich and deficits and debt will disappear, build a wall and illegals won't come while Mexico will pay for it, all proven solutions.

You realize most Americans don't give a rats arse about woke. Fox got a few on the Right up in arms, they did the same with the fake war on Christmas.
 
LOL
To see the Republicans 'new' ideas simple look towards what Putin has done in Russia and Orban in Hungary.
The Republican wish for the US is a authoritarian regime.
 
You've got it all wrong... I'm not concerned about an actual trans-woman, it's the pervs and rapists pretending to be trans that I'm worried about.

.
Donald Trump is a pervert and as I understand it could also be a rapist .................he is definitely a liar.

Is it really a problem or just that you’ve been made to feel like it’s a real problem?
 
How about a little honesty? Is that really too much to ask?

First, "gayness" isn't running rampant and there's not a republican that thinks being gay is something that should be fought against. Just as those on the left don't want teachers to push a religious agenda in the classroom, the right doesn't want them pushing an alternative lifestyle agenda either. Those issues don't belong in the classroom, they are issues that are up to parents to decide upon and choose whether or not to discuss with their children.

In spite of the rhetoric coming from bozos on the left, not wanting men (human beings born with a penis and balls) to compete in women's sports, and not wanting men (human beings with a penis and balls) to be allowed in women's locker rooms, is simple common sense based on biology and human nature. It has nothing to do with hatred and has everything to do with respecting women and protecting them for potential danger.

Is all this too difficult for you to understand, or is lying just a part of being a woke leftist in today's America?

p.s. if you are going to stick to the lies, please spare me your pathetic attempts to justify them.

.
Are penises and balls and competing in women's sports really the top issues for the gop? The gop protecting women from potential danger? You're kidding right?
 
Probably true. The great new idea is to eradicate ever clusterfubar Biden and his gang of idiots foisted on the American people and get back to REAL democracy no that faux crap Dems lie about.
We noticed what 'real democracy' looks like to the folks on the right on 1/6.
 
Where did you hear that?

I heard that the Republicans were going to win because the Democrats have made such a mess of things.


Nah. They can point out that the first three years of Trump were obviously better.


Use the truth when it works.


I suppose you cherry-pick examples of most of this. It's hardly the message.


Does what sound reasonable?

The Biden administration has made a mess of foreign policy, economic policy, energy policy, etc. I cannot think of anything they have done well. Running against that sounds very reasonable, especially since they have Trump's much better example to point toward.


It's as old as politics to call the incumbent a screw-up, especially when you can prove it, like here.
Ok so post the proof of trump's performance being better in his first year since that's all we have to compare and remember, trump's first year there was no covid. So, let's see the results you are boasting about.
 
Actually, the "new ideas" part isn't about new ideas. That's Democratic thinking. "It's a new election. We need some "new ideas" to get the voters to vote for us." That's because their "old ideas" end up screwing things up.

The Republicans don't need new ideas. They have the ideas that got Trump elected to his first term. Those ideas are encapsulated in the slogan "America First". Everyone knows what those ideas are...or they should. Trump has told you so many times, after all.

But the Republicans and America First won't get all the credit for the upcoming Democratic shellacking. The Democrats deserve a LOT of credit, too. They've made a total mess of things and the people know it. (And THEY don't have any "new ideas".)
America first my arse, trump first is much more accurate but the con man has folks like you convinced he puts america first. For someone who supposedly puts america first, he has a lot of horrible things to say about it. Anyway the con man should be a bit more specific and say it like it is, white america first.
 
I heard Dems are going to increase their margins in both chambers to veto proof margins because conservative ideas aren't popular anymore.

Trump hasn't said any horrible things about America, though he certainly has said some horrible things about certain horrible people in America.

Everything Trump did while President was America First. He didn't do anything that was Globalist First like the Biden pukes are doing.

Try reading what was actually posted before making ridiculous comments.

Biden has had a full year without COVID, though the administration has been reluctant to admit it.

America first my arse, trump first is much more accurate but the con man has folks like you convinced he puts america first.
That would not be at all accurate.

America First was a well-received foreign policy stance. Other countries considered it refreshingly frank.

For someone who supposedly puts america first, he has a lot of horrible things to say about it.
that would be Joe Biden, not to mention the Democrats as a party.

Anyway the con man should be a bit more specific and say it like it is, white america first.
Why? It isn't even true.

I heard Dems are going to increase their margins in both chambers to veto proof margins because conservative ideas aren't popular anymore.
I cannot tell if this is attempted humor or just delusional.

I was responding to the bullshit you posted, not offering a top 10 list.

"Safe seats as of 9 Apr 2022, 177 Democratic, 178 Republican."
This accurate observation proves that in the Partisan Politics of today, we don't actually need human legislators. Since we now simply elect one of two dominating parties, lets save a bundle and do away with the human component (I use the term loosely), and just flip all the senate and house vote switches by party; party A, all Yea, party B, all nay, or the opposite. We could get down to about 6 people in the legislature total, and eliminate all the time and effort holding primaries and such.

Save all these posts, and in 2 or 4 years, reverse the D's and R's, Lefts and Rights, and repost; the cyclic flip flop is now the way the American government works. Or doesn't.

True? Absolutely not!!! The Rs will have to same old ideas as always………..but the Dems……oh the Dems are leading the country down the toilet. The progressives want to take the country to the far left and the majority don’t want to go there.
the defund movement. blm. Wokeism. 60, 65 or 70 different sexes. Lbgtqxyz teaching in elementary schools added on top of Xoe and the Dems spendingmlike drunken whores. And the inflation will all be added up to make the Dems suffer such a defeat that it will be monumental.

Not a bad idea, I like it. Everything is pretty much a straight party line vote anyway.
