My thinking is: if Trump wins, and especially if he wins decisively, we will flip the House back and hold the Senate (maybe even pick up a seat or two). Him being on the top of the ticket almost ensures straight Republican voting.
Even though we are righteously mad at much of the GOP in Congress, we also know that we have to get back the House and keep the Senate or they'll impeach Trump and convict and remove him this time and our Trump vote will have been in vain.
Basically if we lose the Senate and don't flip the House, Trump is going to be removed even if he wins the WH.
The time to replace RINOs with MAGA conservatives is during the primaries. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. In the general you MUST vote straight Republican.
The time to replace RINOs with MAGA conservatives is during the primaries. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. In the general you MUST vote straight Republican.
This is what I keep trying to tell people. You have to replace the RINOs in the primaries, much like the Tea Party did. Once it's a choice between gutless R's and D's, you have to vote for the R. Reason being.... not a single Republican, RINO or not voted for ObamaCare. And, that should tell you all you need to know.
BINGO! And we did it here in CO-3, replacing amnesty shill Scott Tipton, who pushed citizenship for illegal alien farmworkers, with gun totin', Trump lovin' Lauren Boebert from Rifle, CO.
We can't underestimate Trump's ability to lead. He was able to accomplish things in the Senate by getting McConnell and Graham to do things they normally won't do. Even if a republican is only 50-50 reliable, any democrat is guaranteed to be 100% unreliable.
It’s crazy, I’m a moderate Republican. In 2012-2015 I worked with the local Dems to help get some elected. They were moderates too and good people. Then 2016 happened and I bailed on all Dems because the party is toxic.
Now I’m seeing some of the same moderate Dems I helped go straight Marxism. It’s fucking crazy. They were rationale people 7 years ago. What the fuck.
I did the same. I was a "default democrat", but still considered myself to be towards the middle. I voted for Obama his first term, then sat out his second election because I felt betrayed by Obama but could still not stomach even considering voting Republican after being indoctrinated by public schools for 12 years. In 2016 I sat out the vote again because I knew Hilary was evil, but I thought Trump was a clown. Well, Trump has proven himself to me and earned my vote in 2020 (first time ever voting Republican), and the Democrats have gone so far off the deep end I think I will never support them again.
Sounds about right. What broke me was when the Dems started calling everyone that supported Trump Nazis, racists, and sexists. Just couldn’t imagine thinking like that. Blows my mind they are still doing it today.
I agree he has more crossover voters. I'm really curious about the number of people in 2020 who voted against him or didn't vote in 2016 and are now voting for him.
If Trump’s total votes aren’t at least 20% higher than 2016 there is some major fuckery going on.
I never underestimate the pure evil of the Dems, so until we all march to the polls it’ll be unknown. I will crawl through glass to vote Trump, smiling along the way.
This time, I feel like the DNC has been going so far off the deep end for so long that it's "breaking the conditioning" all over the place, in ways that the Democrat pollsters can't even see, but which are visible as small blips popping onto the cultural radar for a few seconds before being passed over for the latest BLM protest or DNC politician's rant.
A town of people kicking Antifa out here.
Black natives from Chicago and Baltimore thanking Trump for his help there.
Lifelong Democrats writing articles about how much nicer/better the crowds are at Trump rallies compared to their Democrat counterparts one day.
Poor people in New York City attacking DeBlasio for defunding police the next.
Depending on how both sides play their cards (if the DNC even HAS any cards LEFT to play), this could be a massive landslide like 1972 Nixon or 1984 Reagan (with California, New York, and Hawaii being the 3 hardest states to flip).
I know some got out of politics completely but I haven’t kept up with them. There’s a few that are still Dem that might vote Trump but won’t tell anyone. And then there’s the ones that are bat shit insane.
None of them have switched Republican or at the very least denounced anything about the Dem party.
Isn’t Murkowski a senator from Massachusetts? If so I can forgive his cuckness if it means keeping his seat from the Democrats. He has the excuse of having a very lefty base.
There will never be a conservative Republican senator representing Massachusetts, so the best we can settle for there are RINOs.
But at the very least Murkowski votes along party lines when it mattered the most (Kavenaugh & Impeachment).
Romney has no excuse, he represents one of the most reddest states in the Union, he has literally no reason to be such a RINO except for the fact that he is in on the corruption and agrees with it.
That is true. But it is not worth the risk considering how limp the GOP has been to date. We have to get back Congress if there is to be any chance of MAGA.
The are not spineless they are Uni-Party and they have prior commitments to George Soros, China, and the Globalist.
They don't care if you think they are spineless, they just say "ya gonna vote for a democrat, my uni-party controls the nomination process".
When we did have the majority in both houses Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell F-ed us over. Paul Ryan's right hand man was Kevin McCarthy, so there's that.
Wait I am stupid, I thought the entirety of congressional seats are up for election every 2 years, and only the Senate does partial elections, voting for 1/3 every time?
Edit: Thanks for helping a dummy pede out! But the already 4,000 replies have answered the question lol
I'm American and this took me a minute as well. It's because we use the terms "Congressman" and "Congresswoman" to describe members of the House of Representatives and "Senator" to describe a member of the Senate. So "Congress" sometimes becomes conflated with the House of Representatives only.
The United States Congress is the bicameral legislature of the federal government of the United States and consists of two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate.
"Congressional" usually refers to both the House and Senate. You are correct that the House is constantly churning while the Senators are elected for 6 years, 1/3 of the Senate being elected every 2 years.
Sadly, some of these kuks run unopposed, so there is no other choice or let it go to the dems, which is NOT an option. Would be nice to get rid of the kuks and have some good options!
The reason they run unopposed is because the district is staunch blue. Happens with republicans in certain areas too. You wouldn't have a chance of winning as a repub because the constituents are die hard liberals. You could run as a dem win a primary, then switch parties after you won. Not sure how that would play out. Probably a soros backed recall or some fuckery.
If they get the Senate and hold the House there will be no Trump second term, even if he wins the election. They'll have him out of there within six months.
Then again, if Trump wins, I don't think they'll get the Senate. He'll drag a TON of GOP candidates with him.
Can you imagine if Republicans got a supermajority in both the house and senate? I know it has almost no chance of happening, but that would be amazing.
There's been times before, Republicans had control of both house and senate and did nothing with it. So used to being on the defensive, apparently, they remained that way and let the Dems walk all over them. We really need term limits for congress to minimize the do-nothing fat-cats taking up space so we can hopefully get some people in position to actually start representing the people who elected them.
While I appreciate the spirit, I really do, this is only half the struggle. Whatever happens in DC, it is the local LEOs and DAs that are refusing to arrest and charge antifa and BLM rioters. It is the same LEOs and DAs that arrest and prosecute ordinary citizens for defending themselves. It is the state-level Judges that give slap-on-the-wrist sentences to murderers.
Aiming for taking back the Federal Government is great and necessary. We have to remember to take the elections locally and on the state level too. In the immortal words of Leonard Cohen: "first we take [Washington DC] then we take the world!"
That's why people shouldn't just focus on them stealing the presidency. If they can fraud their way into turning a state blue, that's the end of that state.
This is the real reason for the mass hysteria from democrats and the overwhelming agenda-pushing. Trump’s popularity would give him total control of the government... they can’t let that happen... they would experience real accountability.
Agree but we have to pick candidates who will win, unless we want Trump to be impeached and removed. Because if they hold the House and flip the Senate, that's what WILL happen.
The flushing should have happened... meaning that the left over RINOs will now have to actually play with a Repub majority. This would be amazing. We must win all 3, then we can save this place.
You ready? Are you ready? Listen, You take the blue pill folks, you take the blue..they call it the bluuue pill...the blue pill, you understand? You take this blue pill, you wake up and believe whatever it is you want to believe.
You take the other ...pill. The RED pill. You see how far-frankly i like the red pill, many people, powerful people. They say “just take it, it’s tremendous..tremendous things happen they say, if you take it”, the red pill, so you take this red pi- and look, I’m like a really smart guy right? So I’ve gotta say the red pill is looking tremendous these days. So you take the red pill and you see how far down the rabbit hole goes. Next question... yes.
We take back the house. Super majority. Then we BACK THE POTUS and start REMOVING RINO motherfuckers that don’t push through legislation.
No more benefit of the doubt for RINOs - you want to make this country great again, or you’re with the Democrat Satanists. They obstruct anything, make their life hell.
My thinking is: if Trump wins, and especially if he wins decisively, we will flip the House back and hold the Senate (maybe even pick up a seat or two). Him being on the top of the ticket almost ensures straight Republican voting.

VOTE STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET
The time to replace RINOs with MAGA conservatives is during the primaries. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. In the general you MUST vote straight Republican.
It worked very well for Lauren Boebert this year.
Yeah we've lost a lot of RINOs since 2016.
Paul Ryan and McCain being the top two. Sadly Douchebag Romney got in.
Damn it Utah you had one job!
And Mike Lee can't be trusted on immigration. Mormon Mafia wants that cheap labor for their farm operations, so Mike delivers.
It's worse than that. The new Mormon orthodoxy is that they need to bring in millions of immigrants, because it's so much easier to convert them here.
TBF Trump endorsed him. He even apologized to Utahns for it.
Mail in voting.. Utah was stolen
Yeah, I only realized recently that Utah is a pretty blue state. How in the hell did that happen? Aren't utahans a bunch of farmers and ranchers?
Salt Lake City is the only blue.
Don't give up.
No retreat.
No surrender.
This is what I keep trying to tell people. You have to replace the RINOs in the primaries, much like the Tea Party did. Once it's a choice between gutless R's and D's, you have to vote for the R. Reason being.... not a single Republican, RINO or not voted for ObamaCare. And, that should tell you all you need to know.
Agree... And if Republicans win everything this fall we will have an opportunity in the future to weed out RINOs and got more MAGA guys in there.
The RepubliCANTs are losers unfortunately. A cancer.
BINGO! And we did it here in CO-3, replacing amnesty shill Scott Tipton, who pushed citizenship for illegal alien farmworkers, with gun totin', Trump lovin' Lauren Boebert from Rifle, CO.

She could use some $$, BTW.
Yep absolutely on both points.
Spineless is too kind.
That fight happens during the primaries. If your local elected repub is a craphead, replace him with another republican

Vote straight red. Dems are literally insane.
I did the same. I was a "default democrat", but still considered myself to be towards the middle.

I would give a tooth to know how many people like you are out there - new Trump voters.
I would bet Trump has more cross party voters than any candidate ever. His base is pretty much first time voters and democrat expats.
I agree he has more crossover voters. I'm really curious about the number of people in 2020 who voted against him or didn't vote in 2016 and are now voting for him.
If Trump’s total votes aren’t at least 20% higher than 2016 there is some major fuckery going on.

No need to pull/bet/give a tooth. Just wait until November, you'll be astonished by the results.
Yes, I'm just enjoying trying to read the tea leaves now. It was fun in 2016, too. Under the radar stuff.

Wow, that sucks. Have you seen any other moderate Dems go Trump?
I know some got out of politics completely but I haven’t kept up with them. There’s a few that are still Dem that might vote Trump but won’t tell anyone. And then there’s the ones that are bat shit insane.
None of them have switched Republican or at the very least denounced anything about the Dem party.
That seems to be the way of it with elected Dems. They are all lockstep. As usual.
It’s not your parents Democrat party anymore. Most moderate Dems will sit this one out just because they don’t want a socialist America welfare state.
for the dems it's not about serving the people anymore, it's about their party's interests and doctrination
I hope so. They didn't cooperate the first time around. Graham can be a PITA too but he won't be as powerful without those other pricks.
Isn’t Murkowski a senator from Massachusetts? If so I can forgive his cuckness if it means keeping his seat from the Democrats. He has the excuse of having a very lefty base.
There will never be a conservative Republican senator representing Massachusetts, so the best we can settle for there are RINOs.
But at the very least Murkowski votes along party lines when it mattered the most (Kavenaugh & Impeachment).
Romney has no excuse, he represents one of the most reddest states in the Union, he has literally no reason to be such a RINO except for the fact that he is in on the corruption and agrees with it.
Murkowski is a she (Lisa) and is from the red state of Alaska.
Then she has no excuse.
I think I was thinking about Collins. He is the one from the red state, and thus is the one I am ok with being anti-Trump to an extent.
As long as he votes along party lines when we need it the most.
Collins is also a she (Susan) and is from Maine, which is arguably a purple state (and Trump won one electoral vote from Maine in 2016).
Would it though? Romney voted to impeach. He will likely be re-elected. No risk.
That is true. But it is not worth the risk considering how limp the GOP has been to date. We have to get back Congress if there is to be any chance of MAGA.
Bush 4
The useless RNC has not even bothered to reach out to Brandon Straka and the #walkaway movement. Straka correctly described them as "out of touch".
The are not spineless they are Uni-Party and they have prior commitments to George Soros, China, and the Globalist.
They don't care if you think they are spineless, they just say "ya gonna vote for a democrat, my uni-party controls the nomination process".
When we did have the majority in both houses Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell F-ed us over. Paul Ryan's right hand man was Kevin McCarthy, so there's that.
We absolutely need to get rid of lobbying. Doesn't matter with the rest if the corruption engine is still in play.
Wait I am stupid, I thought the entirety of congressional seats are up for election every 2 years, and only the Senate does partial elections, voting for 1/3 every time?
Edit: Thanks for helping a dummy pede out! But the already 4,000 replies have answered the question lol
470 is counting the entire house plus 1/3 of the senate. They're all part of Congress which is bicameral.
470 is counting the entire house plus 1/3 of the senate"
thank you Pede saves me asking the question, the meme had me scratching my head. I am uh Canuck eh (edit) sorry? But all clear now.
I'm American and this took me a minute as well. It's because we use the terms "Congressman" and "Congresswoman" to describe members of the House of Representatives and "Senator" to describe a member of the Senate. So "Congress" sometimes becomes conflated with the House of Representatives only.
I always call representatives reps and senators senators, and congressmen/women to refer to people in either chamber
I feel like that should be fixed
This reminds me of a joke I heard recently:
A guy in a restaurant asks the waiter "May I ask you about the menu, please?"
to which the waiter responds "The men I please are none of your business!"
Bicameral? We need more than two cameras on those snakes!
That is correct. 535 is the House (435) plus the Senate (100) so the total of all seats. 470 is the house (435) plus 35 Senate seats.
Oh duh, I am indeed stupid, I was thinking 535 was all of the house for a minute lol
Don't worry, it does read that way a little bit. :)
"Congressional" usually refers to both the House and Senate. You are correct that the House is constantly churning while the Senators are elected for 6 years, 1/3 of the Senate being elected every 2 years.
No soy! Two scoops!
The minority leader is Kevin McCarthy at the moment. But we get to pick new ones, so thats semi inconsequential.
Sadly, some of these kuks run unopposed, so there is no other choice or let it go to the dems, which is NOT an option. Would be nice to get rid of the kuks and have some good options!

Not sure how that would play out. Probably a soros backed recall or some fuckery.
They were all politically removed through Soros backed elections.
If one were to do that they would likely be recalled by the populace.
Why would we want dems to be an option?
This is really important. All the bs Biden crap is to draw your attention away from this.
Fuck me, really?
No wonder theres such a full court press by the dems. Good god that would change the whole trajectory of his second term
If they get the Senate and hold the House there will be no Trump second term, even if he wins the election. They'll have him out of there within six months.
Then again, if Trump wins, I don't think they'll get the Senate. He'll drag a TON of GOP candidates with him.
Vote Red!
Can you imagine if Republicans got a supermajority in both the house and senate? I know it has almost no chance of happening, but that would be amazing.
Another Paul Ryan would be appointed and literally nothing would be done for 2 years until they lost it.
Hell they probably would try to impeach Trump.
Paul Ryan is a fucking disgrace and I hope when he meets his end, he's thrown in an unmarked pauper's grave.
NO. The 'do nothings' can't be amazing.
Is there a comprehensive list of those that have President Trump's support?
There's been times before, Republicans had control of both house and senate and did nothing with it. So used to being on the defensive, apparently, they remained that way and let the Dems walk all over them. We really need term limits for congress to minimize the do-nothing fat-cats taking up space so we can hopefully get some people in position to actually start representing the people who elected them.

Aiming for taking back the Federal Government is great and necessary. We have to remember to take the elections locally and on the state level too. In the immortal words of Leonard Cohen: "first we take [Washington DC] then we take the world!"
CRUSH THEM!
Lots of uncontested areas, too.
That's why people shouldn't just focus on them stealing the presidency. If they can fraud their way into turning a state blue, that's the end of that state.
This is the real reason for the mass hysteria from democrats and the overwhelming agenda-pushing. Trump’s popularity would give him total control of the government... they can’t let that happen... they would experience real accountability.
If there's ever a time to get back on course in America without war, this is it and might be the last.
RiNOs can go play with the commies...we need a lot of new RED blood in government
Agree but we have to pick candidates who will win, unless we want Trump to be impeached and removed. Because if they hold the House and flip the Senate, that's what WILL happen.
RIGHT HERE! DERKS 2020 in Missouri’s 5th(KC,MO) www.twitter.com/thisisderks
Straight party ticket, motherfucker!
The flushing should have happened... meaning that the left over RINOs will now have to actually play with a Repub majority. This would be amazing. We must win all 3, then we can save this place.
VOTE STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET NO MATTER WHAT
Trust me, there are people on my ticket that i wish werent there, but no MAGA candidate stepped up. So far its better than not having the seat at all.
WE CANT RISK IT.
We know there is a vast majority of people here that are going to vote for Trump. Vote straight red. Do it. Lets take back the HOUSE.
I would ask how many dim districts are running unopposed ?
I would say to vote them all out.
Don’t forget to vote all these dems out of office
No one can be told what the MAGAtrix is.
You have to see it for yourself.
I would go an vote straight-ticket Republican, baby.
I would say "isn't that literally every election"?
Thing that amazes me, the collusion such that Some Democratic, and some Republican seats are always unchallenged. Ridiculous.
I hope we get a repeat of 2016 with the House, Senate, Presidency, and Supreme Court all heartily in the Republican corner...
...Only this time I want the Republicans to actually have a spine and help Trump.
I'd say 470 need to be moved to other people.
We CAN NOT TRUST ANYONE THAT'S BEEN IN POLITICS A LONG TIME.
A modern, civilized, revolution is revamping ALL of our representation in politics. That's why trump won, let's keep the train moving
But there are always 470 up for grabs every 2 years.
They are always up for re-election every 2 years.
You ready? Are you ready? Listen, You take the blue pill folks, you take the blue..they call it the bluuue pill...the blue pill, you understand? You take this blue pill, you wake up and believe whatever it is you want to believe.
You take the other ...pill. The RED pill. You see how far-frankly i like the red pill, many people, powerful people. They say “just take it, it’s tremendous..tremendous things happen they say, if you take it”, the red pill, so you take this red pi- and look, I’m like a really smart guy right? So I’ve gotta say the red pill is looking tremendous these days. So you take the red pill and you see how far down the rabbit hole goes. Next question... yes.
Vote all Dems and Rinos out! OUT OUT OUT and keep their coats!
If we could get citizen-only in-person voter ID in all 50 states I expect every last one of those would change.
We have GOT to get the house back!
We take back the house. Super majority. Then we BACK THE POTUS and start REMOVING RINO motherfuckers that don’t push through legislation.
No more benefit of the doubt for RINOs - you want to make this country great again, or you’re with the Democrat Satanists. They obstruct anything, make their life hell.
Welp, off to vote all red.
The Senate looks grim though
I would say vote until you're dead and beyond
Vote out all incumbents
The Democrats should be nervous.
then we could repeal the 22nd amendment!!!
Declassify incoming!!!
