@unclemark nonsense you're as transparent as it gets trying to weed out conservative posters. do better. taking up for someone who never posts actual substance is pathetic.

I'm not taking up for anyone. I said you BOTH suck
@unclemark that's the equivalent. i post content. hickory trolls and never posts content. you're letting your bias show with the hopes of an echo chamber. as i said. do better. if you can't recognize the difference well....
Open your own "learing" center. You could make millions!@jdb i dream of the day TMP and hick come to me and say that they want to learn. woke isn't working. they don't understand american politics and administration. we're ready to learn
After all of the crying and whining about Nick Shirley's exposé on the fraud, KSTP and other local stations are uncovering more shit every single day. It's wild what happens when journalists feel threatened and actually need to investigate scandals.

They might both cry themselves to sleep, but at least one gives us laughs.
@jdb It's wild that that goofy kid exposed it as opposed to the actual state employees who just kept cutting checks without any oversight at all
Been right the entire time.Ultimately, Trump and the Trump-led MAGA movement will be seen as a disaster for the GOP. It will be seen as an embarrassing and destructive time in US history as well.
You've been ringing that bell for 10 plus years now. Is your arm tired yet?
The question is, will Republicans turnout. Marion County is usually a 60-40 county for Ds, it was 80-20 in the primary. Was that more Ds turning out, or fewer Rs. Hamilton County was 54-46, it usually is closer to 18% Republican advantage normally. So that is minus 10 going to carry to fall? Michigan had a special election for the House in a district Harris won by 1 point, on Tuesday Ds won by 19 points.
None of that guarantees anything but at the moment it LOOKS like either Ds, are coming out, Rs aren't, or independents are breaking hard D. It probably is some combination. But if it stays 8 points or more, Republicans won't like their redistricting efforts because they will lose seats that were safe.
The problem with that philosophy is that this current apathy of Republican voters will be short lived. Unless '26 is an absolute bloodbath to the point where democrats are in a position to throw out the newly minted redrawn maps, they will revert to Republican control in '30 if not by '28. Trump just has a certain aura around him that has allowed him to ignore protocol / presidential norms in a way that I currently don't see a direct heir-apparent to. Maybe someone can take up the mantle, but I'm hoping for a regression back towards the normal (I'm an optimist after all). When that happens, those redrawn districts are going to swing back red....hard.
A MAGA Republican Party is not the answer. It will be irrelevant in 4 years.@squeakyclean aloha republicans are old and dead. There’s no appetite in today’s world for them. Anachronism. Nostalgia. Whatever. Done.
Will you ever understand that RINO doesn’t mean jack coming from you?
Correct. Senate too. NC and ME are gone. IA, OH, and AK are looking very bad. Texas and SC could truly flip if Cornyn and Graham are the nominees.
I'm with Snarl in that I think the Senate will be 50/50 at worst. Trumps approval can literally not really get much worse at this point, so it will likely go up a little by November. The Indiana primaries have proven that Trump still has significant pull with Republican turnout.
It's an interesting day when I think the Republicans have a better outlook in elections than DBM does.
The Indiana primaries didn't tell us a thing. Everyone wanted those RINOs defeated. The Massie primary in KY in a couple weeks will tell us everything.
@squeakyclean I think the more influential question is if Dems will stay woke. They hold all the cards. If they got new centrist blood they’d dominate. Harris. AOC. Newsom. Will keep things competitive otherwise
