Second source which is needed in today’s political biased spewing climate:
“Midterm elections are not friendly to the president's political party. Modern midterm elections have resulted in an average loss of 30 seats in the House of Representatives and Senate by the political party whose president occupies the White House.”

If that ever happens I will be sure to let you know

Is President Biden in cognitive decline?

Is President Biden in cognitive decline?

Oh goodness yes. Anyone that pays attention can see that.

There is a reason I made a bet with my wife in Nov 2020 that he would not be POTUS in 2023.

Yea, remember what was considered nutty 10 years ago? Well, today's Republicans almost make those folks sound sane. Maher breaks it down for you:

I look at the orange stain as a party or movement that is separate from the traditional GOP vs. Dem paradigm. It's its own animal.

Never EVER would I have thought that I'd long for the days of the partisan GOP vs. Dem bickering. Holy crap. That was comparatively mature and civil and professional and decent and dignified.

Who knew.

And then in 2026 and 2028, you'll call the elected republicans RINO's and pretend you never supported them like you did with the last generation of GOP disasters

Republicans will not be electing RINOs any time soon. Hence the name.
Elections are still about Rs vs Ds. You think indy voters will be voting for democrats any time soon? I don't.

 

[maybelooking]

yeah I prefer to judge todays pubs against todays leftards!!!

Lets see how that comparison goes in a few months!!!

 

[kyzr]

I'm pretty sure we saw in 2020 how voters judge Republicans vs. Democrats. No need to wait until 2024.

That's why the polls are all showing the democrats underwater. Keep hope alive!!

Agree. I don't believe he will finish his term.

What is your prediction for 2022?

I'll take the "over" at about 50 seats. There are 30 democrat incumbents that bailed.

A lot of those people are suffering from buyers remorse.

But Keep up with this sexualizing kids thing, the uncontrolled immigration thing, and the make prices of everything rise because of Gaia thing.

I think this next election will be "historical". Democrats like to use that term.

 

[Stryder50]

both sides have some of the worst politicians we have ever seen....

Not when looking over the past 250 years, and what more distant past has offered.

 

[odanny]

you should listen to Bill here, I'm laughing at you while I do.

Ha Ha Ha.... You didn't watch the clip I posted, at least watch the first two minutes, and you'll see why I laughed at your clip.

Totally agree, but Trump's stranglehold on the GOP endures because the slobbering, inbred base in flyover country will not allow anyone in the GOP to disparage their Dear Leader.

When you look at the GOP "Classic" and how they treated their flyover base in the decades past, you understand why the Trump movement endure, the Classic GOP barely did anything for these folks but pay them lip service while working strictly for the wealthiest 1%.

Now, with Trump, it was the same thing, but without any decorum and sense of civility, this was a movement that made recognizing grievance, and creating new ones, the sole focus of his tenure (along with self aggrandizement). This allowed the base an almost rapturous release from traditional politics and gave them a daily diet of someone, or something, to hate, someone to direct their energy towards for being disenfranchised their whole lives.

We both know it's all a charade, but they don't, and that's all that matters to Trump and his handlers.
