The tell-tale will be the House races. If the Democheats win Senate seats AND keep the House then the smell-meter should be pegged. They are not gonna alter/submit/cheat votes for only one of the chambers of Congress.
In 2020 the down-ballot vote didn’t favor the Democheats like the eventual results showed. A metric shit-ton of “votes” were received marked for only ONE race…the POTUS one.
And yes, never underestimate the stupidity of the electorate at large.
Yep, the problem is that they nominated too many Senate candidates with baggage…and unfortunately, Trump was largely to blame for that. Dr. Oz and Herschel Walker were both very bad choices, as was J.D. Vance, but they all got the nomination after Trump backed them. Not that nominating RINOs would have been the key to winning the Senate, but these are some seriously weak candidates.
Luckily, if things keep trending as they do and the GOP takes the House, at least the Dems won’t be able to pack the court and there will be no point in getting rid of the filibuster.
In GA we got saddled with an extremely weak Senate Candidate (Herschel Walker). We are in a situation where it is very likely Kemp will beat Stacey Abrams while Walker loses to the awful Raphael Warnock. The Republicans have GOT to stop nominating these weird celebrity candidates. The only thing that might possibly save Walker is the general mid-term political momentum against the Democrats.
As loathsome as Warnock is, I would actually be somewhat molified if he won as long as Abrams loses. Georgia is going down the drain a lot faster than I had imagined. I’m strongly feeling the urge to abondon ship with the current trend.
Biden is going to be primary from the left and he is going to have to do something to placate that way in the party. Trying to stuff the Supreme Court would be one thing. If we have the republican control of the Senate it will go nowhere, but if the Dems control it they could definitely attempt to do it. They could only be successful if they have the dem majority.
The Constitution does not fix the number of justices, but it would still require a new law passed by both the House and Senate to expand the court. If the GOP takes the House, they’ll at least stonewall any attempt to expand the court.
I think for this fractured fairytale to come true many, many more Democrats would have had to have stood up against Bidens policies.
Separating Bidens policies from Bidens rhetoric means nothing. He hasn’t a clue as he mumbles and stumbles his way through any and all talking points.
I saw some numbers today that said Biden has less th an 19% of the Hispanic vote, some folks were saying 11%. I don’t care who you are that’s devastating. I would guess that to be the litmus test for how this election will go.
They can say what they like, they can dream big, but the Hispanic vote is now the new middle class.
California confirms your assertion as correct. Republicans seem quite content to be the minority party of chronic whiners; when they controlled the WH and both chambers of Congress, which Democrat abuses of power were rolled back? Which infringements on the Constitution or the rights of the people were reversed? Which federal departments were abolished? I could go on and on (and on) …
I encourage polls like this. Hand the marxists another shovel so they can dig their own graves faster by being encouraged to support worse and worse policies. It will just encourage Republican voter turnout. While they are at it, the Fems, I mean Dems, need to keep pointing at the Satan that is Donald Trump. Keep beating the drum that any candidate will make a better president while you throw your own puppet under the bus as a dottering old fool.
Never forget - the polls had Klinton winning by a landslide.
