It's true, with republicans it will be gross, clumsy, vulgar.
Never forgot who tried to do a coup




I think you got that backwards.... lad.










1. Dems paid for false documentation (Steele dossier), and bought the major media sources.
2. Dems used the false documentation to acquire FISA warrants... illegally.
3. Dems used those FISA warrants to illegally spy on the Republican nominee... et al.
4. Dems got just about every Dem judge in the land to allow idiotic suits against anything Trump tried to accomplish.
5. Dems used the information they got illegally, to harass, charge and convict any and all in the hope something would drop that they could use against Trump.
5. Dems also used this illegally gotten information to start the Russiagate investigation.
7. Dems then got Blasey_Ford to accuse Kavanaugh.
8. Dems paid protesters to disrupt the Kavanuagh hearings.
9. Dem Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal, went on Facebook and said: "I wish someone would assassinate Trump.
10. Dem Congress woman Waters in interviews called for other Dems to harass and assault Republicans, Republican politicians and white house staff, w/e they went out in public.
11. Dems, after Mueller came back with no conviction, started in on Ukrainegate.
12. Dems used falsified statements by whistle blower and then by State Dept. members, to go for an Impeachment.
13. Dems, after failing to get Trump ousted started blaming Trump for covid-19 response, even though it's been proven that the W.H.O withheld crucial information from not only the US, but from the World.
14. Dems, after failing to damage the President of the US enough, with that... are now adding fuel to the fire, to incite to riot.
15. Dems then, use the resulting chaos to try to trap Trump between a rock and a hard place... whether or not to use the military to put a stop to the rioting and damage.
16. Dems now, call out their hole card, Mattis, to add edges to the rock and the hard place they've set up.
17. Dem Nancy Pelosi: “I just don’t know why there aren’t uprisings all over the country, and maybe there will be.”
18. Dem Kamala Harris: “Protesters should not let up” and “They’re not gonna let up and they should not.”
19. Dem Ayanna Pressley: “There needs to be unrest in the streets.”
20. Dems waste tax payer's money a third time with Insurrectiongate.



But yeah, Trump is the bad guy for saying: "Let's go to Washington".

What is the House supposed to do against a Democratic WH and a Democratic majority in the Senate? Domestic overspending has happened and can't be reversed, neither can Biden's lack of clout with Saudi Arabia or other OPEC countries which is based on past actions and statements. And with the midterms not delivering a shot across the bow for Democrats, they have no incentive to yield when it comes to their climate agenda and anti-fossils policies.

A Republican Congress, with solid majorities in both chambers, could have put some pressure on the Biden admin to "drill more" or to do more to fix supply chain issues - but on its own, a GOP House (with just a bare-bones majority) can't do anything to tackle inflation.


So, a few things:

1. Republicans had no plans to address inflation, besides "stop spending".
2. Even if they did, it's irrelevant, because they couldn't override a Biden veto even with control of both chambers of Congress.
3. They could use their control of the House to do something that might be productive. Hearings on inflation and American energy might not be that helpful, but they are infinitely more beneficial than a hearing on Hunter Biden.

Funny how you only notice that when Republicans "consider" it.
Where was your concern in the last 6 years (and counting), when the DEMs did "nothing" but go after Trump?

The DEMs did do a few things though.

1. Made it cost $100 to fill your gas tank.
2. Decided that CRT and LBGT crap should be taught in schools.
3. Try to shred the Constitution... again and again.
4. Break just about every law on the books.
5. And let's not forget election fraud... that's "still" going on.
6. Almost forgot... selling out to just about every malicious foreign power there is.

On the other hand, Walker's numbers were getting stronger the closer we got to November. Walker went from a polling underdog to slightly ahead just before the race. Unfortunately, a large chunk of early vote is locked in at that point. It will be interesting to see how that plays out with less than a month to go.


Warnock outperformed the polls though, just like Democrats in most of the country (except for Florida, New York, Oregon and maybe California).

Perhaps the shift of the polls toward GOP candidates in the final weeks of the campaign were really just pollsters herding and covering their ass. They knew that their reputation would be in shatters once and for all if they underestimated Republicans yet again, and there were good reasons (fundamentals, midterm history) to assume that the GOP would perform better than the tight polls suggested.

Stop overspending, unleash the American energy sector, drop the moral posturing toward Gulf countries.
But yes, some factors which exacerbated (domestic and global) inflation were baked in, like the overspending or the choice to answer Russia's war in Ukraine with an economic war and energy sanctions.

Then the political blame would lie with Biden though.

We won't know for sure for some time, but I suspect the early vote played a role. Warnock was leading for long stretches of October, and that tightened into early November, where Walker polled ahead. But if the vote is already in, then Warnock locks in that October lead. There's not as much time to canvass and collect votes this time around, so I think the result is a bit up in the air.

Lol. What would you prefer? A one party ayatem?

How about a one party world system? That way, Arabs can't price gouge the price of oil, anymore.


Yeah, because there's literally only two possible options for a political system, right?

Democrats held a trifecta these past 2 years, didn't get anything big done either. The reality is that the United States are a deeply and evenly divided country in which neither side has been able to win the mandate for sweeping change from voters in decades.

The 2020 election was basically American voters saying "Trump has to go, but we don't really trust Democrat and won't give them a strong mandate" and 2022 was the voters saying "the alternative offered by Republicans isn't good enough either".


Pretty valid, but that whole issue still boils down to the fact that the two-party system breeds polarization. If politics had some degree of encouraging compromise, there would actually be a way forward.

In the gubernatorial race, Kemp only underperformed his rcp polling average by 0.7%, Walker underperformed his by 2.3%. Both surged in polls at the same time, starting in mid-October. If the early vote was the main factor explaining Walker's underperformance relative to his polls, it should be in the same ballpark as Kemp's, rather than three times as large.

Imho, it's hard to deny that a crucial sliver of the electorate rejected Walker because he's a really shitty candidate...
