Stop peddling this bullshit. The reason the country rejected Republicans is in part due to their exhaustion with people like you. The economy was the main driver but the drama and grift and chaos of performative MAGA was also rejected in whole.
No way in hell. Iowa did not vote for communism because of gas prices (that were the same or less than under previous admin) or a war to end a nuclear threat (w/ no boots on the ground). I know Iowa. Iowa raised me. Iowa educated me. The math isn’t mathing here. Let’s audit this election to make sure the results are honest before we hand over the Hawkeye state and America to Communists. Do not certify until you VERIFY the vote.

Given Tuesday’s results, it’s time to repost this from last year. On principle, redistricting should be done only once every ten years. In practice, it backfired big time on Rs this cycle as they watered down solid R districts. It shouldn’t have been done in the first place.
I want to win 5 more seats in the House. But mid-census change in Texas is not the way to do it. Even politics must have rules. Gerrymandering should be done once every ten years - by all states. Otherwise, there are no rules and it’s the equivalent of all- out, political wars all the time - simply to gain power. No state should gerrymander until 2032, including Texas. It’s fair to everyone this way. Even politics should be conducted in a fair manner.

Nonsense, dude. In 2024 Trump won 55% of Hispanics in Texas and 34% of Black men. Was it conveniently demographics then? We had every opportunity to deliver and didn’t. Instead, those voters got a costly war that raised gas prices and diesel. Prolonged tariffs that increased the costs of goods, and a poorly executed immigration policy that turned people off—and that’s putting it mildly. The “it’s the demographics” excuses should fall on deaf ears because if that were true, there’s no way in hell we would’ve gotten the numbers we received in 2024. There was a generational opportunity to realign crucial voting blocs and Republicans screwed up. Instead of making excuses, the party needs to have a serious reality check about what is obviously not working and move forward so that the focus can be on 2028 and 2032.
In 1970, the White population in Texas was 89%. In 2000, it was 50%. Now it’s less than 39%. Demographics is destiny.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
In 1970 the White population included Hispanic people because surveys in Texas didn't ask about Hispanic ethnicity as a separate question from race. In 2000 the White population for just race was 71%. Today White is 74% and "White, not Hispanic" sorted for ethnic origin is 37%. census.gov/quickfacts/TX

If Trump actually did his job and signed the TikTok ban, he probably wins the "let's all celebrate Charlie Kirk's viral assassination" midterm election.

Assuming Republicans lose the seats where prediction markets have the Democrats at 90+% to win, that would produce 55 Democrat Senate seats. Chance of confirming a worthy successor to Justice Thomas and/or Alito during President Trump’s term: Zero. Chance of confirming a worthy successor during a hypothetical GOP admin 2029-2033: probably zero (GOP won’t be able to recapture enough seats in 28).

Sure, this is the biggest wipeout in 100 years, and the Democrats are going to control Congress, but they can't stop Trump from pointing at things and renaming them, and at the end of the day, that's what he truly loves the most. So checkmate, Libs.

It was gas prices. It was the war. It was also the corruption. The incompetence. The tariffs. The playing nice with Russia. The impression of cruelty. The overly aggressive deportations. The accidental arrests of American citizens who were Hispanic. The arrogance. The ballroom. The reflecting poll. The golf courses. The arch. The Qatari 747. The aggressive redistricting push. The threats against enemies.

Trump and his political team have managed to do what the pre-Trump GOP never did — shrink the map of Republican states. Bush and Rove turned Texas red. Trump turned it blue. The pre-Trump GOP turned Georgia red. Trump turned it blue. But MAGA says we can't go back to winning.

I don't think i've ever seen a worse, more damaging interview for a candidate. Abdul was condescending, arrogant, dismissive and aloof. If he thinks he can win Republicans like this, he's making a big mistake. Abdul is his own worse enemy.
WOW this exchange. @BretBaier tried to give Abdul El-Sayed a chance to finally explain the 2012 letter in support of the Muslim Brotherhood and Abdul awkwardly tries to speak over him. This flailing defensiveness is why we’re on week 3 on this issue.

Like a cult of barnyard animals.
This is how the brainwashed Muslim community of Turkey treat a Jewish woman walking through a shopping mall. I genuinely think they may have killed her had security not stepped in.

"Removed"? Has North Carolina A&T ever had a campus early-voting site for any midterm election? Ever? The answer is no. politifact.com/factchecks/20…
North Carolina A&T students marched an hour each way to vote on the first day of early voting after their campus polling site was removed by the Guilford County Elections Board. Proud 👏🏽

The only folks who will look back on this whole episode and think anything other than "What an incredibly stupid, self-destructive own-goal by the GOP" are fools & grifters. Damage is done, regardless of outcome of the race.

The fact that someone like Talarico even has a remote chance in Texas is horrifying. Where did we go wrong?
