However Trump's presidency will be little more than cheap theater in the last 2 years of his term.

This will be true regardless of the election outcomes.


Not if by some miracle the Republicans hold onto their slim majorities in the house and senate.

Committee chairmanships are vital commodities.


Republican President. Majority in both Houses these last two years. And what have the Republicans done? Should they retain their seats, we will see more of the same, - which is absolutely nothing.

Even if that were true, it would still be significantly better for Americans than a Democrat-controlled Congress.

My hope is Trump and all of the other congressmen that play golf play a whole bunch of golf after the midterms. This will hopefully reduce fraud and cut down on those jacklegs spending money that we don't have.

If you do not want fraud, you have no choice but to vote for Republicans.

gawd that is one of the dumbest things you have said and that's sayin sumpin. Fraud equals, Piggy, Jared, Ivanka, witkoff, Donnie jr, the other little brother fella, musk...That is fraud for the ages!

With Wedgewood - the fake Democratic polling org behind an intentional de-moralization campaign - it is really hard to rely on the left-wing polling ... but who knows. I would be shocked if a bunch of extremists actually win, but who knows.

Republican lawmakers are eyeing a little-known congressional maneuver that could block Democratic Socialists of America members from being sworn into the House even if they win their elections next week.

The move hinges on the oath of office. Lawmaker-elects must swear to uphold the Constitution before taking their seat. But under this procedure, any member-elect can challenge another's right to be sworn in by presenting evidence that person would not honor that oath. The DSA's own platform, which calls for scrapping the current Constitution and drafting a new one, could serve as that evidence.

Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital he's considering invoking the challenge. Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., has already said he plans to use it against incoming Rep. Darializa Avila Chevalier. The move would face serious legal headwinds the Supreme Court ruled in 1969 that the House cannot exclude an elected member who meets constitutional age, residency, and citizenship requirements.

Because unless you are a psychic (spoiler alert no one here is a psychic), this thread is just people basically revealing what they hope will happen.

The adults will vote and wait for the results.

The time for Republicans to defeat the DSA was in the primary. Instead of voting for good candiates, a plurality of Republican voters, influenced by large war chests and Fox News appearances installed a slate of historically weak candidates.

Playing games like not certifying races if a (D) wins or refusing to swear in a duly elected candidate is not a good look.

I don't really follow the polls, but my gut feeling is that the Democrats win both houses. The main question is whether Trump allows them to be seated or decides to release the monsters. He'll be under great pressure to do the latter, but the narcissist in him will want to save his ammo for a third run in 2028.

In the end it will come down to which way the military and his praetorian guards in ICE cast their lot.

The legit winners will be seated. And the pardon office will get busy.

Let's hope so. If we're lucky and it's a blowout of historic proportions, Trump may decide it's TACO time. Otherwise it'll be ugly.

Good one, Hamas Harry aka Sam Losery

Another absurd prognostication that isn't even close to reality, but most liberal whack jobs live in a fairytale so it makes sense for you

When the most important qualification for a nominee is "who stroked TRUMP's ego the best," this is what happens.

There are three Republicans I really want to see lose in this cycle: Ed Gallrein, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy. Still hoping Paxton wins just because Talarico is such a freak and to stick it to the Cornyn wing of the GOP.

When the next Congress swears in, there will be:

House 226D and 209R
Senate 51D and 49R, flipping NC, OH. ME, and TX (listed in order of confidence).
Governor's Mansions 25D/25R (Hot Wheels survives)

I know there are a few independents; the numbers indicate which party the independents will caucus with. Would not be surprised to see Fetterman start to caucus with the GOP by 2028.

Call your shot.


I think the Ds will do a bit better than this. 230D, 205R. Senate 53D, 47R. I think they'll flip Kansas as well and get one more (maybe Iowa).

Don't know about the governor's races, I've been tracking Florida and haven't paid much attention to the others.

Fetterman is an AIPAC guy so switching to the current GOP makes sense for him.

They all got a front seat the the worlds biggest political grift, kick ass retrobution campaign.

Actually, that was the Joe Biden administration.

And it's "retribution," imbecile.

Dems capture house with 8-10 seat margin.

GOP holds Senate 52-48. (Flip MI, but lose NC and either KS or ME).
