Laurene:
DeSantis has already said or signalled he isn't leaving Florida for Trump's administration. I saw the news.

Pennsylvania can be a permanent red state if the Republicans play their card very well... It's one of the swing states where down ballot candidates didn't underperform Trump to the extent of losing.

There isn't a consecutive second term in Virginia so Youngkin isn't running again but the LG and AG can run for a second term.
There's no way anyone serious would challenge Vance; a sitting vice president to the nomination.

"Liberals and democrats just kneecapped themselves" but other Republicans are grossly underperforming Trump down ballot... How do they fix that before midterms?
I can remember your saying that Trump would pull down Republicans if he's the nominee but look at the results. I kept saying Trump wasn't the reason Republicans didn't get a red wave in 2022.

The Supreme Court would definitely get younger but I don't think Sotomayor would want Trump replace her... She'd have to be carried out on a stretcher or even die like RBG (she was on wheelchair and adamantly refused to step down because she didn't want Trump to replace her)

We have to recreate the lawfare we executed for the Presidential election for the Legislature.
What are the statistical odds that Trump won every swing state and we lose all but one senate seat.
After Trump's win, we took our eye off the ball and a 55 Senate is now a 53, potentially 52 if Elias has his way.

Thing is, working for Congressional races is not shiny.
It's almost thankless. No one will deify you like Pressler or Kirk to bring home a district most can't identify on a map.
But we need to roll our sleeves and sic the hounds.
If the Dems won MI, WI, NV, AZ with Trump on the ticket, how do we preserve the Senate majority in 2026 without Trump on the ballot and without McConnell.
Especially when there is a time-honored tradition of the incumbent doing badly in the midterms.
That's to say nothing about the House. A 224 House is now looking like a 220 House.

The Midterms is going to be f*cking rough yo.
We will need to bring the house down on the Dems to stand a chance of retaining our majority.

Ibime:
You mean you got plenty of mad people and kicked out the sane ones

We lost with the sane ones in 2020.
Liz Cheney and Barbara Bush endorsed Kamala. They even stumped for her.

We won the popular vote which watchers told us would never happen again, without these "sane" ones.
You can shun results for bias in your portfolio, if you so wish.
We have higher standards.

Laurene:
The state is a cesspool... Same with California which would take 2 weeks to count ballots

The democrats want to win the house and deny electoral college certification.
If that don't work they have a few RINOs who can derail any Trump house agenda.
Both ways this electoral process should be overhauled whether by an Executive order.

Now the right wing media is more powerful than the left?

Let me say that again, in case it got lost: Today, the right-wing media sets the news agenda in this country. Not The New York Times. Not The Washington Post (which bent over backwards to exert no influence when Jeff Bezos pulled the paper’s Harris endorsement). Not CBS, NBC, and ABC. The agenda is set by all the outlets I listed in the above paragraph. Even the mighty New York Times follows in its wake, aping the tone they set disturbingly often.

…The answer is the right-wing media. Today, the right-wing media—Fox News (and the entire News Corp.), Newsmax, One America News Network, the Sinclair network of radio and TV stations and newspapers, iHeart Media (formerly Clear Channel), the Bott Radio Network (Christian radio), Elon Musk’s X, the huge podcasts like Joe Rogan’s, and much more—sets the news agenda in this country. And they fed their audiences a diet of slanted and distorted information that made......

This is the year in which it became obvious that the right-wing media has more power than the mainstream media. It’s not just that it’s bigger. It’s that it speaks with one voice, and that voice says Democrats and liberals are treasonous elitists who hate you, and Republicans and conservatives love God and country and are your last line of defense against your son coming home from school your daughter.

And that is why Donald Trump won. Indeed, the right-wing media is why he exists in our political lives in the first place. Don’t believe me? Try this thought experiment. Imagine Trump coming down that escalator in 2015 with no right-wing media; no Fox News; an agenda still set, and mores still established, by staid old CBS News, the House of Murrow, and The New York Times.

raumdeuter:
I really want DeSantis to be given a prominent role given the way he put the Liberal woke agenda on the front burner and broke them and the media starting with Disney.

The game starts now. We need to "Florida" Pennsylvania. We need to turn Pennsylvania red permanently from a swing state. Scott Pressler will be motivated cos his ground game to register voters was incredible

Youngkin needs to win VA a second term. I will like to see a Youngkin, DeSantis, Rubio, Vance field for 2028.

Next thing turn Virginia, New Jersey into swing states

Liberals and the Democrats have kneecapped themselves already, just hang the culture wars on their neck, the men in female sports, transitioning of kids on their neck, The defund police, the decriminalizing of crime. All those are enough to turn off regular voters.

When voters see what the liberal cities are doing, the people sleeping on the streets in San Francisco.

Also the supreme court, is a priority get young Black conservative man to replace Clarence, Young Hispanic man to replace Alito, prepare a replacement for Roberts and talk to Sotomayor if she can retire and get a Hispanic woman to replace her

I don't think these are multi-cycle winning issues.
We solve the border, pull the culture closer to the center, and there'll be no urgency to flock to the polls.
There is a danger of making culture our abortion banner. The Dems sought to use abortion to win multiple election cycles. It only worked for one. And our assumption is that they're not going to pivot. They could press pause for 2 or 4 years.

We have to also watch out for the ret**ds who could potentially score own goals.
We're deporting millions. Pro-lifers are emboldened. Many of our lieutenants have huge egos.
We have our Bowmans (the Dem id**t who pulled a fire alarm).

We won the popular vote in 2004 and the Great Recession came 3 years after.
Heck, Trump was coasting to a easy re-election and potential popular vote win in 2019 then COVID struck.

We need to keep our head on a swivel.
And have level-headed folks who keep the noise out and make long-term plays.
Vintage McConnell types.
In fact right now, one of my biggest concerns is egos clashing and falling out.
Will Wiles last until the midterms. What about Elon and the Fintech crowd. We have a diverse coalition of strange bedfellows here.

I think Republicans and their management were too focused on the presidential race while democrats played underground shenanigans down ballot. Ticket splitting is supposed to be near-extinct but all of a sudden they're coming back?
They're telling me people voted for the racist, sexist, misogynists and narcissist but refused to vote for his clones and even the supposed traditional/normal Republicans down ballot.... It doesn't make any sense.
Not one swing state senate candidate ran ahead of Trump, not one!

Honestly republican management with the chairman has to go back to the drawing board... Start fundraising and recruitment early ahead of 2026. They should reduce the infighting and help Trump pass legislations that the people voted him to do.
If the republican can close the border and fix the economy before 2026 then they have a chance to stop the dems. RINOs should align with Trump this time around.

I'm hopeful that Trump would defy the odds and be successful this time around... He'll prove the pundits wrong again.

Tge democrats mustn't be allowed to gain any part of the government during Trump's presidency to avoid a repeat of events that occurred in his first term.

Mitch McConnell should just retire entirely... His selective and preferential treatment led to this bad performance.

Republicans shouldn't allow democrats bury them in fundraising again.
The dems are ready to light money on fire in safe States but repubs can't even fund a critical swing state?
The GOPe would always torpedo any race they don't get who they like.

Musk and his tech allies should remain and actively fund down ballot candidates... His success depends on republican. Dems has now grown huge disdain for him so the moment they grab power they'll try to muscle him.

Trump should govern by executive order... There would be legal actions but it's the much he can do. Obama did it most of the time.
Nothing of much significance would through a slim legislature.

Republicans focused more on presidential race so as Dems saw it was too big rig then they shifted their attention to the senate and house... Now they're trying to steal house races in blue states.

I can understand why they focused on the Presidential race.
Lara went to the RNC to deliver Trump.
Everything else was secondary.

Now we can train our cannons on the states and Congress.
No excuses. We have a powerful mandate and a massive machine.
Clinton lost the House streak that the Dems had since the 50's. Not even Obama could keep the House in the midterms.
So Lara and Whatley have their work cut out for them.

That'll be an own goal.
We have to choose our battles.

We have to expend our political capital on the deportations, spending cuts, and tax cuts.

We can win the midterms by beefing up our machine on the state, county, and local level.
We couldn't do that and the national concurrently post-2020. Now that the national is somewhat safe, we can focus on the lower rungs.

I'm not thinking that far ahead to 2028.
The coalition has a lot of single-issue, Trump-only voters.
You fix the border and the economy stays stable, and that's like 30% that wouldn't show up in 2026.
So we got a major undertaking on our hands to stop the Dems from ballot harvesting their way to a majority when we'll have a numbers crunch.

Like we're getting the most votes possible right now and we can only secure one of 5 swing state Senate seats.
Everyone, including, the Fintech bloc needs to double down in 2026.

Check out the results in California!!!! I can't believe it. I've read some places that California had a Red Wave by their rigged Democratic standards. Imagine....

70% voted to increase penalties for retail theft and other crimes.

Two extreme woke & liberal District Attorneys in Oakland & LA were RECALLED, not even regular election....recalled by voter initiative & petition!!!!

Mayor of San Francisco lost to a more conservative candidate (by Cali standards)

California as a state had the BIGGEST VOTING SHIFT toward Republicans in the entire nation!!!!

Wow, wow, wow....this is great. I honestly was worried the American people had lost their will to preserve The Republic. There's much more work to be done, this is a good start.

Good Luck to Nigerians.

Kukutente23:
You're totally misinformed. The state law empowers schools to teach kids the different genders available. It also allows schools to teach kids that they can be trapped in the wrong body. These are being taught in most public schools. So except you have the money to take your child to a private school, you basically have no control over what is fed to your children. More importantly, it is not you who pays for the hormone changing drugs or gender affirming care. It is govt that pays for it. All that is required is your consent for the gender reassignment AFTER the child had requested it. That's the only place you can step in. Go and get educated properly about the issues around this gender issue in the US. As Trump said, it is purely child abuse

State law does not stop you educating (indoctrinating, even), your child about its own gender long before you send it to schools. You might even decide not to send it to school and school your child at home. No one can force you to consent to what you disagree with.

If your child requests reassignment of its gender, you, parent has been negligent.

If made in America Apple ends up being $3k and made in China Samsung is $500, then slam $2700 on the Samsung phones and make them $3200 and more expensive to buy

American children cannot be going to bed hungry and your concern is how to feed Chinese kids

Lol. When this happens you think Americans are better for it?

Na the billionaire owners of Apple will be happy, but you would have taken away the cheaper alternatives away from majority of low income earners. You think they will understand and praise the Government for that?

I can't wait for the implementation of this tariffs. I have to learn new things.

The Americans who have the jobs will be better for it. They will have an income to pay for it.

Its the same as living in Lagos vs Living in Taraba. Lagos is expensive but you can make money to pay for the life, Taraba is cheap but you can not make money

Thats why more people prefer to live in Lagos than in Taraba

Obaigwe1, billionaires make money so let them send the product to China and still make the same amount of money 😂😂😂

I don't understand why the left hates billionaires. They have services people use, they employ thousands of people who become millionaires and make good money. Some use those jobs to sustain themselves till they find something better but billionaires are always devil for making money

These billionaires work hard to make money. Some of them tried different things and failed until they got it right. While some sleep, go on vacation. Some of these billionaires work round the clock. So why should they be hated
They serve as motivation and inspiration for others too.
You can also become a billionaire if you work hard, take risks they should be the American heroes but the left chooses to demonize them

Educating a child is not a guarantee that such child will not be rebellious or choose to go his own way
A child is not "it". Are you woke?
Of course no one can force you to give consent but note that your consent will no longer be required once the indoctrinated child turns 18
Are you a parent? There are different factors that determine how a child turns out and parental care is just one.

You are fine.
Raumdeuter has no idea what he is talking about as do most Trump supporters.
The iphone is an elastic good. If the phone gets expensive more people will buy cheaper devices.
Now, let's see what the consumer can bear on inelastic goods like toilet paper, medicine, etc. when tariffs hit.
Some companies have already stopped paying Christmas bonuses to use the cash to stockpile on goods by the end of this year because they expect those goods to go up. Which in turn will cause the prices of those good to go up even right now.

Raumdeuter is speaking on feelings(when he's not copying and pasting AI) rather than any basic understanding of Economics.

This thread has devolved even more.

I've read some of the most asinine takes on all sorts of stuff even Economics (how tariffs work).
This thread has become a magnet for idiots.
And the crazy thing is that half the idiots who post here have at one point pretended to have lived in the US.
Most of the other half have never even stepped foot in the US.
Perfect encapsulation of the US Trump voter. Liars and idiots.

While the country you people live in(Nigeria) is crumbling, you guys are here rantine nonsense about people in Pennsylvania as you even know where that is.
