My understanding of why KY keeps voting McConnell in, which I'll admit is external since I don't live there, is that they don't really like him either, but the dems keep running their typical big money corrupt neoliberals who are essentially just younger Mitch in a donkey costume. Not that Charles Booker would have stood any more of a chance than Amy McGrath, but he'd probably have lost by fewer points and cost the dems a lot less money in the process.

The DNC used the 2020 elections as a troft to feed loser candidates and political allies from with super PAC money, sinking hundreds of millions of dollars into worthless loser campaigns in states like KY and NC, and the voters aren't all complete idiots and know they're corrupt as fuck.

These midterms didn't seem to be run with nearly as much money being poured in, Warnock/Walker and Fetterman/Oz campaigns aside, probably because it was sort of assumed ahead of time that the dems were going to lose control of everything in the midterms like the incumbent party usually does. Trump pozzed the whole election cycle and killed the red wave. The GOP establishment have a huge problem on their hands with him and it's their own fault. A lot of people are going to just stay home if a Trump backed candidate is on the ballot going forward, because they may not want to vote blue, but also don't want to vote "brain damaged retard" either. Even Boebert barely managed to win her seat in Boomer County, CO.

Edit: "brain damaged retard", Fetterman aside. Though at least Fetterman seems less liable to blurt out something like "we should all strive to be more like OJ and kill alla the white women and white aliens" in the middle of a subcommittee hearing. Which probably would have been a good reason to vote Walker, now that I think about it, it would have been hilarious.

Ann Coulter wrote this excellent piece on Trump losing other elections:

That Old Trump Magic! - Ann Coulter

The fact that Herschel Walker barely lost his Senate runoff in Georgia demonstrates beyond a doubt that ANY OTHER REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE WOULD HAVE WON. This is kind of important. Raphael Warnock'

I do not think she goes in near enough detail on how bad of a candidate Walker was. "Observably stupid," to quote Dave Chappelle. Or that at least some whites probably stayed home because they do not want to reward the GOP propping up token blacks out of desperation not to be called racist. It also overlooks the blame shared by the paid to lose turtle. Still insightful though.

Sorry, she’s wrong. Bitch McConnell didn’t give any money towards Walker because he’s scared of Trump! Yes, that’s it. MAGA is such a fearsome force that brainlets like Herschel Walker and guys like Dr. Oz who run because they have shit else to do are such fearsome iconoclasts. Also all MAGA candidates who lost were solely due to vote rigging, except for those who won, I guess McConnell decided to let them win.

Debating with Mothra1488 is the booby prize. If he were any dumber, Trump would endorse him for a U.S. Senate run.

I wonder if the GOP will change its own nomination rules to lock Trump out. Something like saying if you've lost reelection to President, you can't run for President on their ticket.

He'd just run third party and split the vote and they know it. He's got them in a catch-22.

As amusing as Trump running independent and splitting the right wing vote up would be, they'll never let it happen. Steps will be taken to prevent him from running somehow, I'm sure.

First, whose going to stop him? Not the Democrats. They'd love for Trump to run third party and split the conservative vote so they'd cruise to victory. Second, there is no way to stop him unless they can actually get him on something to arrest him. And even then, it probably lead to actual massive civil disturbance to arrest a full on presidential candidate. There is a reason that everything Hillary did that was demonstratively illegal didn't get her arrested. Even Trump understood that would be a bridge too far.

Imagine being such a faggot you simp for McConnel approved primary candidates instead of anti-establishment ones. lol McConnel put his money behind JD Vance, and JD Vance won. It's not rocket science, genius.

Instead of answering my question, you run away like a bitch like usual, because you are one. What is the viable alternative to the Republican Party, stupid? You said the world would improve if the Republican Party died. Explain how. lol If debating me is so easy, how come you are too afraid to even respond?

At least the pedophile on my block list actually resonded to me questioning his statements and ridiculous anti-MAGA stance. You just run away for 3 months and then only start posting again when you think I abandoned the thread. LOL.

I'm conspiracy-sperg thinking the GOP establishment will somehow finally get a DA somewhere to press full blown criminal tax evasion or other charges against him, which might not convict him by the election, but would probably make it hard for him to run a campaign if he's required to show up in court or face contempt charges.

They've run out of ammo on that bullshit. None of it ever goes anywhere, and it always comes off as fraudulent and double-sided as possible after every manufactured media story and bullshit investigation. If they do want to play that hand against Trump, fuck them, go ahead then. It will finally be gloves off with the political establishment and everyone will finally understand how much of a fraud the entire thing is. As long as Trump is on a ballot, I will vote for him. And if Trump hasn't given a shit about this stuff so far, I doubt he feels differently.

I think they'll just try a steal of their own, basically do what the Democrats did with Bernie in 2016 and the shit they did to give PedoJoe the nomination in 2020. Supposedly the leadership is looking into doing more ballot harvesting, so that's a step they can use to start finding ballots labeled DeSantis/Pence/whoever they want in there.

After the busllhit McConnel pulled in the mid-terrms, the establishment can get raped every primary until they no longer have any candidates. Trump all the way until these idiots learn their lesson, and then Trump and his children even after that. You can't allow stolen elections and master mind losses for your own side and then expect the base to still kiss your ass.

This will only mean anything if she bucks the Biden administration on appointments. I guess this is the AOC effect in action though, because the Squad couldn't stop bitching at her. Good work. lol Although maybe her 2024 prospects were really that grim. I also wonder if the troon shit started getting to her as a bisexual woman. Probably not, but it would be nice if that was actually the case. But yeah if she continues to caucus with the Democrats, then it's mainly a token gesture until the 2024 race.
 
I know Sinema usually votes the Dem line but supposing she and Manchin both break rank how will that affect the Senate and who controls it?

It’s not going to change anything. In fact it’s just a way to replicate 2021-2022 where Synema and Manchin get to still call the shots because now there’s a threat that if they don’t get their pet issues included, there’s a non-zero chance they abstain. Manchin and Synema will still caucus with the Democrats and in the event they don’t, there are some very reliable cucks like Mittens and Lisa Murkowski that can fill in.

This is kosher sandwich politics in action. Reminds me of Ben Nelson in 2009-2011 who acted like a spoiler vote to get 60 senate votes. The Senate will still come together to give more money to Ukraine so the things that matter to the powers that be will continue to sail on by. Anyone else is fucked, same as it ever was…

Budgets, as well as laws, have to be passed by the House GOP unlike appointments. Don't know if you and your pedo boyfriend know that, but yeah the idea that nothing has changed at all is more retarded doomer bullshit. Now whether or not the GOP wouldn't be able to cobble together enough votes for more Ukraine funding is up for debate, maybe they would. I would probably say they will pass it under a bi-partisan vote, but any other non-defense spending plans they had are in the trash can. Maybe too much money was spent on Ukraine, but it's still hilarious wannabe internet Nazis out right support a Stalinist regime trying to gain back Soviet territory, not to mention Russia is now losing the fucking war. lol

Taking on woke (or the perception of it) will earn you a lot of supporters.

I was giving examples. And yes, they all fucking mattered.

Bannon gave him actual policy and strategic heft. Pence helped solidify Christian support and he and Sessions more or less handled all the fucking shit that comes with actually governing a country. Ivanka and Kushner were people who he'd actually listen to.

They're all gone.

Who's his running mate going to be? Not anyone with any political future. Not after the way he treated Pence and Sessions. That was one thing, but then you have his own family not taking part even.

Forget governing the country. Who's running his campaign? How's he funding?

When you can't even screen who you have dinner with.
