Summary
Republicans face rising fears of a 2026 midterms backlash after defeats in key races, with some blaming Trump’s tariffs and Elon Musk’s influence.
Trump announced sweeping new trade levies Wednesday, alarming GOP strategists who warn of higher prices and economic risks.
Vulnerable Republicans urge a return to economic messaging, citing concerns the party is overreaching. Democrats are leveraging Musk’s unpopularity, linking him to GOP policies.
The GOP remains divided over how to respond.
this is all song and dance. trust nothing that is said that remotely sounds good for their opposition.
Exactly.
I remember Mitch saying that the reason he voted against the second impeachment was that he felt Trump’s Jan 6 crimes would be better adjucated in criminal court. And before that, I remember Linsday saying that if Trump wins the GOP nomination in 2016, the GOP will get “destroyed… and we’ll deserve it”.
Never underestimate the ability of Republican voters to enthusiastically vote against their interests…
Yeah, I don’t buy anything about how the public is leaning anymore. I assume everyone is conservative and will continue to vote conservative in every election until I see any evidence otherwise.
After the 2024 election, the public can’t be trusted and the media absolutely cannot be, in regards to elections especially.
Fucking traitors should be nervous about much more than that.
They should be concerned about being hung for treason if they keep supporting a coup.
Point to a second Republican that has actually been punished for their criminal misconduct.
Is Matt Gaetz in jail yet? Did Dick Cheney spend any time behind bars? What about Richard Nixon?
I don’t think the justice system will do anything.
What are they afraid of? Trump has fucked the trans gendered, illegal aliens, brown Americans and residents, old Americans, poor Americans and now he really taking it to the penguins of uninhabited islands. Thats what I call winning baby!
Well, it’s not like the Democrats are going to take advantage of it or anything. They probably shouldn’t worry about that, maybe they should worry more about being hauled out of their beds and dragged through the streets naked. That’s a lot more likely.
Well, you greedy fucks thought you could control a “celebrity,” and push your Neo Feudalist agenda.
You didn’t count on him being the most psycho narcissist you’d ever met, did you?
No they aren’t. They have cheated and gerrymandered their way into tenured positions, the only way out is them dying or retiring.
Sure,like they haven’t compromised every single board of elections to never lose an election.
Ha ha!
