J.R., it's getting harder and harder to determine which posts of yours don't sound as if you drink heavily about an hour before writing them.

don't drink old man. maybe you should. So blood bath is hard for you MAGA turd? Keep on Maga and Rednecking.

I don't drink. And if you don't drink, you may need a different kind of professional help to address your slime-filled style of conversation.

At this point, it is pretty clear that the midterms are going to be an extinction level event for the GOP.

This war is not going to be over anytime soon.

If we go with the land invasion, casualties will be higher than Iraq.

Energy price driven inflation will be rampant.

The question is where do we go from here?

A democrat house and senate will impeach Trump and possibly remove him from office. The social and domestic policies of the Biden years will be back.

Twice the voters have given the Republicans full control of the executive and legislative branches (2016 and 2024) and twice the Republicans have failed to carry out the will of the voters.

At the moment, GOP is closing the gap. In this not particularly GOP-friendly polling unit the gap is within margin of error

didn't vote for him this time, Holmes. He will die or get shot by then. It is so apparent that he is senile. He and MAGA both need to move along. MAGA is on it's last leg, thankfully.

CPAC Shocker: Dallas Crowd Cheers For Trump Impeachment Hearings

In a moment that captured the growing unease within conservative circles, Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union, found himself in an awkward spot at this year's CPAC in the Dallas area on Friday. While attempting to rally the crowd, Schlapp asked, "How many of you would like to see impeachment hearings?" The audience erupted in cheers. Visibly caught off guard, he quickly backpedaled: "No… that was the wrong answer." He tried again - "Let's try that again, how many of you would like to see impeachment hearings?" - only for the crowd to cheer again. Flustered, Schlapp joked about needing coffee for the attendees

The incident unfolded against the backdrop of heated discussions at the conference about the U.S.-Israeli military actions in Iran. It was not the unified show of support Trump allies had hoped for - and it signaled deeper fractures in the MAGA base over foreign policy.

Those cracks are widening on Capitol Hill. Republican lawmakers, once solidly behind Trump, are now openly breaking ranks over the escalating conflict in Iran, warning that any deployment of U.S. troops could trigger a political backlash severe enough to cost the party in the midterms. Leading the charge is South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace, who has repeatedly drawn a hard line against "boots on the ground."

You do tend to be overly pessimistic, ya know.....

John Zogby is a Democrat and his polling skews blue. He had Dems +5 in February.

rule of thumb is that Dems need a +4D to recapture the house. This poll is right about there. RCP avg is +6 D, for perspective.

At what point does an election become dishonest?
Where in the process?
Do you know the process and how ballots are issued, tracked and cross checked through the chain of custody and if they are required to be monitored by members of both parties? If voting machines are or are not subject to being hacked or not?

I hear a lot about voter fraud but very little on actual documentation including a variety of actual research .

I am just busting on the MAGAs.

I don't expect there to be any more than the usual amount of fraud, just like it was in 2020, 2016, etc...

If there was real fraud, it would have turned up and been provable. IN 2020 the Dems used the rules to expand the voting pool, the GOP got caught flat footed. Dems didn't break the laws, they changed them. This is similar. Unless a court says it is illegal, it stands.

Yes, it is surprising when measuring national sentiment.
That really gets a bit confusing when one finds that the Democrats keep winning most of the elections since Trump started his stuff. It doesn't bode well for us conservatives and it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense, but the information below speaks for itself:

Trump appears to have become a problem, at least in some areas of policy and public opinion.

Still very early to be predicting mid-terms. History says GOP loses them. But the data itself, the issues....are sending conflicting signals. Some seem to point to an expected historical outcome. But not all.

If one wants to make bets this early, hafta forecast where the issues will be. And on that score the GOP looks better than the data indicates. The BBB stimulus has barely kicked in. The trade deal investments are just now starting to flow. The Iran war will conclude well before the mid-terms. There's a ton of stuff to exploit on voter/election fraud, on welfare/medicare fraud, etc.... And the likely good outcome in Iran will be a tremendous boon. So I'm somewhat more optimistic than the data would otherwise suggest. Plenty of time. Plenty of things that could cause the cycle to trend more red than it is right now. Just gotta wait & see....let things play out and revisit in June/July.

Perhaps the biggest thing to watch that no one is talking about: SCOTUS allows birthright citizenship to stand. That will have an impact not unlike what Dobbs did for the Dems in the 2022 mid-terms. Could all by itself save the day for the GOP. Ironically, a victory on that ruling could hurt turnout for team Red. Watch & wait.....

I just wish Trump would shut up and give traditional conservatives and moderate conservatives a fighting chance at getting re-elected so we can at least begin repairing some of the damage that is still repairable.

I would like to get back to the Republican Party that is actually tolerates moderates. Or, we need a third Party as the Democratic Party is now Progressive. The Republican is now Authoritarian/MAGA.

There are a lot of moderate Democrats and Republicans that would fit into the same Party. They are now Independents with no Party or really any say.

LOL. I would humbly suggest you have it backwards. It is the moderates who are intolerant of conservatives. If they would work half as hard to get along with people to their right as they do with people to the left of you, we would not be having this discussion.

Been said many times. John Anderson. Ross Perot. Etc...... but all it seems to do is get leftists elected. Not one time has a third party ever helped the right. Always always helps Democrats.

I am seeing more and more data like this. Amid all that's happening (and your increasingly shrill wailing and gnashing of teeth), there is increasing evidence the GOP is slowly gaining on the Dems. Why is that? Could it be that you are out of touch? Don't argue that point. Sit calmly and think it thru. Force yourself to come up with an answer that is NOT a neverTrump reflex. That will be your first step back to sanity.

Why is that? There are no choices. The largest growing group is Independents? Why is that? Maybe you are out of touch and/or have tunnel vision as a true believer.

You and I ARE NOT the average American. Even I am skewed to the right to the extreme versus the whole.

Speaking of independents, I definitely became one of, at least temporarily, after January 6th.
Additionally here's some recent information to help support your claim:
