Blue Wave Alert: GOP Loses 10th Straight Legislative Flip

[dblack]

Democrats have flipped a total of 10 state legislative seats in special elections during Donald Trump's second term, while Republicans have flipped…..zero. I don’t make predictions but that doesn’t seem to be a good sign for the GOP.

Last night Bobbi Boudman (D) defeats Dale Fincher (R) in NH Carroll District 7 special election

OH..MGTs dark red district placed more votes for a Democrat than any Republican to replace her. They will now have a runoff.

SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE FLIPS (overperformances)

Texas SD-09 (D+32)
Iowa SD-35 (D+25)
Iowa SD-01 (D+22)
Arkansas HD-70 (D+20)
Mississippi SD-45 (D+19)
Mississippi SD-02 (D+22)
Pennsylvania SD-35 (D+16)
Georgia HD-121 (D+14)
New Hampshire House Carroll 7 (D+13)
Mississippi HD-22 (D+8)

Back and forth we go. Wash, rinse, repeat.

I've been called black pilled, a democrat, a Jihadists, it's laughable. I realized it's that many live in the binary world of Political Flatlands where there are only 2 choices: Evil and Only Slightly Evil

Agreed. But I'd go with "Evil and only slightly less evil". And I wouldn't lay a bet much on which is which.

I sincerely thought Trump was different this time.

I'm honestly curious why? What's his appeal?

Maybe it's just the way I was raised, but from the beginning I read conman. Even when he was telling me what I wanted to hear. Especially when he was telling me what I wanted to hear. Like a bad used car salesman with WAY too much power.

After realizing he wasn't you have to assume that the con was so involved and long in the making that none of his campaign was real. He's a phony from the start.

He doles out juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust enough to make enough people True Believers, but overall he has America in a far worse position than the already bad space we were in when he was inaugurated

I don't know what his game is. I think at some level he's just nuts. Blown-out ego and little else. But I also think Bibi (or whoever was running Epstein) has him by the balls.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Because you say it’s so?
What metric(s) are you using to arrive at such nonsense? Can you articulate that to us or should we go on ‘because I said so’?

Sure!

We walked into a trap in Iran and

i think Trumps just a front man for Bibi > Jared

Which is the easiest thing on earth to do, when you have something Trump wants and, especially, wants to brag about.

Ok, I guess I have to correct my post #140. Apparently I wasn't the only non-leftie here who read conman from the beginning. Another thing I've been saying for a long time is I firmly believe that no one gets to the highest office in the land without already being "in the club." All modern presidents I think are just playing a role, but in actuality doing the bidding of the elites.

Did Mexico have Biden by the balls?
Remember when you questioned the motivation one would have to have to force tens of millions of thirdworld human cockroaches in the laps of Americans? OH WAIT…..you never asked that because you didn’t really care much about that because “just looking for a better life” and all.
But you really really seem to care about Epstein because TDS….hmmm?
Zero credibility

i think Trumps just a front man for Bibi > Jared

Was Biden a “front-man” for Mexico?

 

[BrokeLoser]

Sure!

Cool story…Explain this “trap” you speak of….can you?

Why would someone need to “con” you into accepting a better America?
He ended the cockroach invasion
He’s sending cockroaches home by the millions
He cut taxes
He ended wars
He’s making other countries pay their fair share
He’s holding the UN accountable
He killed wokeology
He’s got military recruitment off the charts
He cut interest rates
He cut inflation
He cut chicks with dicks out of women's athletics
What campaign promise is he not pursuing?

I'm honestly curious why? What's his appeal?

I know you’re not serious but I’ll play along anyway…
No Mexicans
No Ragheads
Love America, it’s history, tradition and culture
Cut taxes
Destroy woke
Command the world
Should I carry on?

Had he stuck to being Coolidge as he campaigned, we'd be so much better off.

He should have implemented DOGE cuts, treated Fraud as if it were a crime, ended Congress de facto on commission, insisted on 12 budgets and not a "Big Beautiful Bill" and, this is important, STAYED THE **** OUT OF NEW WARS IN THE MIDDLE EAST

Iran totally wrecked all of our bases in the ME, we won't go back there for a generation. Mostly because no one wants us there and I can't blame them. Iran demonstrated we can't protect our "Allies". We're in a "Now Youse can't leave" situation

Additionally, We're not trustworthy!!

Last year, Iran wanted to negotiate, but we killed the negotiators at Doha. In February, Iran was giving in on everything Jared asked for, we sneak attacked them. Our word is dirt; Jared, acting through Trump, completely depreciated our word and stature in the ME.

We're despicable liars who sneak attack and one of the first targets is a girls school in a double tap.

I think that Jared runs US foreign policy and Trump just follows orders. This is a war designed to end the American Republic, or "Rome" as Bibi R.I.P liked to call us

Coolidge? WTF….good real core Americans were hoping for an Ike….Someone who would go after all of Mexico’s filth.

Share that intel you have…Good real core Americans are totally behind the Iran war…All sane people know that Iran would have used nuclear weapons if they could have developed them.

Are you sure you smartest people in the room have the intel you think you have?

Additionally, We're not trustworthy!!

“Trustworthy”? WTF….we are only accountable to American taxpayers…Phuck everyone else.

Are you an insider? Do you know what Jared and Trump knows?

Collateral damage is a part of war…Don’t FA and you won’t FO…Simple shit…right

“You think”…What intel are you privy to?
Are you sure you haven’t become schizophrenic?

The script remains the same:

1. Win an election
2. Pretend you have a "mandate"
3. Decide that collaboration and innovation are weaknesses
4. Cram your agenda down the throats of the country
5. Go too far and piss too many people off
6. Lose the next election
7. Blame someone else for your loss

The parties do not learn.

Democrats have flipped 28 Republican-held seats in state legislatures across the country over the past 14 months.

Perhaps, "Blame Biden!" has lost its impact, and they need to think of something more timely.

Trump is trying "Soaring gas prices are good for America!" but it doesn't have legs.

Maybe, "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too"

maybe the pendulum is swinging the other way right now because of republican screw ups....as soon as your party screws up, and they will,then it will go back the other way....

I'm an independent since my attempt to register with the Bull Moose failed.

As long as there are no sore losers who can't handle the truth and incite goons to violence, democracy should be well.

In a normal time, every single American -- but especially the Trumpsters -- would have been insulted by that one.

That one showed how stupid he thinks Americans are. Which is ironic, obviously, considering the source.

Prediction markets have a dem sweep as the most likely although only at 50%. I still think the Senate is a tough climb.
