Very encouraging signs for the 2022 midterms ...

he’s wrong. Biden is well above Trumps approval. Bush only had a high approval for a brief period cause of 9/11.

Being above Trump in approval ratings is almost as impressive as being more popular than Martin Shkreli or Harvey Weinstein - it's not that hard.

On the other hand Biden's approval rating is lower than Obama's and Bush Jr. in their first year, which is quite an accomplishment in itself.
 
Consider the treaty without a plan for evacuation (remember the Trump administration would not cooperate with the Bidenites on transition until just a couple of weeks before the 20th of January), the surge because knuckleheads WON'T get vaccinated, and the economy of the second issue, and we find Biden is doing pretty well. Biden will be over all fifty by November.
 
The polls will change around before December.

But if the argument that Biden can't recover, just what can the GOP offer?

They are not the party of fiscal conservatism and small government.

They will want to SS and medicare, and give that to the rich.
 
he’s wrong. Biden is well above Trumps approval.
Check the chart. Biden is currently about where Trump was a year ago.

Bush only had a high approval for a brief period cause of 9/11.
Try reading the post next time. Biden is below where Bush was pre-9/11. The 9/11 bump lasted well over a year, so not a brief period.

It's worthwhile to check the facts before embarrassing yourself like you just did.

lmao, funny how you want to compare to Trump a year ago, and not where he was at this exact point in his presidency, which was below 40%.

And who cares about Bush? Bush left office With some of the worst approval ratings ever, Only reason Bush even had an above average approval rating was because of 9-11. Also, Bush didn't have about 40% of the country rooting for his failure because an orange loser got crushed in presidential election. Try again.

Obama and Bush Jr. didn't have to deal with 40% of the country thinking the election was stolen because an orange turd can't accept defeat. Not a valid comparison.
 
Fewer Democrats, of course.
Lazy answer. Try a more substantive response. How will having a GOP majority improve the life of the average American citizen?
 
... and while much can happen in a year, using history is a guide 2022 could become a historic defeat for Democrats. This is from a former Clinton/Bloomberg advisor ...

We’ve known this for some time. But know this also, the Republican don’t win by getting more votes. They’ll do it with gerrymandering, suppression and census-based seat allocation. They’ll never win on ideas.
 
I surely don't know your exact situation. But you said, "And I have never planned on having SS for retirement. I'm not poor, and I suspect means testing is coming. So in other words, you got yours. The rest can be read between the lines.
The rest you pulled out of Uranus.
 
You must find all that "voter suppression and gerrymandering" awfully frustrating.

And I have never planned on having SS for retirement. I'm not poor, and I suspect means testing is coming.
You don't have to plan for ss. Are you saying when you become of age to collect your social security you aren't going to collect it?
 
It won’t even improve the life of the average Republican. They’ll just feel better about owning the libs and hating on minorities.
While their leadership is living high on the hog and the base lives in right to work states with no benefits and lousy pay. I'll say it for the hundredth time, most of the poor states are in the south and under republican control. Owning the libs seems to be pretty costly in my opinion.
 
Agreed, but Trump isn't really back in the picture again until '23 (the lead-up into the '24 elections).
BS. He'll be out touting al of the candidates the GOP wants to support in 2022.

Donald Trump will meet with Republicans running against Rep. Liz Cheney next week, and endorse one in the next few months, the former president said in a statement Tuesday.

 
Curious what platform the GOP is going to run on for 2022?
 
lmao, funny how you want to compare to Trump a year ago, and not where he was at this exact point in his presidency, which was below 40%.
Valid point. Biden is not as bad as the lowest point of the whole Trump administration.

And who cares about Bush? Bush left office With some of the worst approval ratings ever, Only reason Bush even had an above average approval rating was because of 9-11. Also, Bush didn't have about 40% of the country rooting for his failure because an orange loser got crushed in presidential election. Try again.
Briden will not have a second term and he is now lower than any point of Bush's first term.

So, it could be worse. It can get worse.

While their leadership is living high on the hog and the base lives in right to work states with no benefits and lousy pay. I'll say it for the hundredth time, most of the poor states are in the south and under republican control. Owning the libs seems to be pretty costly in my opinion.
The Obama administration lived high on the hog and gave the workers nothing. Trump addressed what the wage earners in the country needed--jobs, pay, security.

Curious what platform the GOP is going to run on for 2022?
Same as before--jobs, the economy, law enforcement, border security. Basically, the things Trump was good at or that Democrats dismiss as unimportant.
 
Trump pissed on the Capitol police, and all of LEO in America remembers it.

Trump mismanaged the economy and lost a record number of jobs, and all American workers remember it.

That's not how law enforcement remembers it, just the Trump haters. BLM did more than just piss on police and the Democratic party cheered them on. They were the ones chanting defund the police.

Law enforcement is a Republican issue in 2022.

Trump mismanaged the economy and lost a record number of jobs, and all American workers remember it.
This cannot be more wrong. Get the facts before you embarrass yourself like this.

Trump achieved record lows in unemployment. When COVID hit, the Trump administration moderated the damage and set us up for the growth we are enjoying now. So, Trump achieved success in normal times and success in a crisis. You cannot reasonably ask for more.
 
I think the GOP may has much as a ten seat majority in the House and the Dems increase their lead to 53 in the Senate.

That will allow the Dem candidate in 2024 to paint the GOP once as the 'do nothing' party blocking progress.

The breaker events will be, of course, Covid and the economy, and if the first becomes much less a threat and the latter does well, that will help the Dems in 2022.
I'd say early indications would put you right on. A 1-3 seat pickup in the senate for the Democrats, retirements play a big role there. Then a 10-15 GOP pickup in the house. But until redistricting occurs, the house is pure, 100% speculation. The senate predictions are on much more firmer ground.

Trump was good at jobs? One needs to look at 2020 to say differently. If Rs win, what jobs plan will they propose that will win bipartisan support to be signed by Biden? What have they proposed in the last 3 years?
Economy? It chugged along without much from him. His tax cuts for corporations and rich didn't do shit for middle and lower class. Again, if Rs win, what jobs plan will they propose that will win bipartisan support to be signed by Biden? What have they proposed in the last 3 years?
Law enforcement? You mean the ones Trump selects to endorse? Not the ones that he shits on. What will Rs run on besides claiming they won't "defund the police"?
Border security - Hasn't changed much really. What kind of measures will Rs propose that will work? Build a wall? Trump had 4 years to do that, and failed.

Sounds like the Rs have no plan. And if they follow their "plan" of 2018, which was scary brown people at the southern border are going to kill you, they are toast.

Maybe they can run on banning wearing masks and getting vaccines. They can run on rigged elections.
 
Nothing? Are you quite certain about that?
Not so that you would notice, no.

Trump was good at jobs? One needs to look at 2020 to say differently.
Are you another person that claims COVID had no impact on employment? Think about what you are saying here.

If Rs win, what jobs plan will they propose that will win bipartisan support to be signed by Biden? What have they proposed in the last 3 years?
Why do there need to be any job plans? A healthy economy lifts all industries.

Economy? It chugged along without much from him.
It improved during a period of rising interest rates. That is the economic equivalent of accelerating uphill and the opposite of just chugging along.

His tax cuts for corporations and rich didn't do shit for middle and lower class.
This is one of the Democrat's outright lies. The tax cut was predominantly for the middle class. The tax reform gave US industry level ground with other countries.

Again, if Rs win, what jobs plan will they propose that will win bipartisan support to be signed by Biden? What have they proposed in the last 3 years?
Why is anything needed?

Law enforcement? You mean the ones Trump selects to endorse? Not the ones that he shits on. What will Rs run on besides claiming they won't "defund the police"?
As if that was not enough.

Border security - Hasn't changed much really.
Another lie. It was under control after four years of work and they even got Mexico to pay for a big part of it. Literally the first day the Biden administration threw the work away.

What kind of measures will Rs propose that will work? Build a wall? Trump had 4 years to do that, and failed.
They already have measures that work. The Trump administration managed to get control with the wall half-finished. Are you supporting the completion of the wall, since it is a useful force multiplier?

Sounds like the Rs have no plan. And if they follow their "plan" of 2018, which was scary brown people at the southern border are going to kill you, they are toast.
Sounds like you can only misrepresent the facts.

Maybe they can run on banning wearing masks and getting vaccines. They can run on rigged elections.
Is that what you propose Democrats run on, more masks and rigged elections?
 
We're going to slap the GQP so hard in the midterms that they'll see and hear tweety birds for a week.

They will have brought it all upon themselves. This won't be your Grandfather's midterm election.
 
While their leadership is living high on the hog and the base lives in right to work states with no benefits and lousy pay. I'll say it for the hundredth time, most of the poor states are in the south and under republican control. Owning the libs seems to be pretty costly in my opinion.
Their revenge is to control the legislature and Supreme Court and force everyone else to live like them.
