get that OUT of my face posted:Cruz is like Ryan in that his home state doesn't like him. the most spiteful white people live in the exurbs and not the rural parts, but as a whole, the GOP is losing some sway even there. it's increasingly looking like the only reason they can stay in power is because Texas is rigged to hell and back we've seen a lot of evidence from Alabama that getting dumb white southern assholes to NOT vote republican is a herculean undertaking even when the candidate is a literal pedophile even if they hate Cruz they'll definitely vote for him over a democrat

Business Gorillas posted:better yet, Renacci (the republican chud the kochs were pumping dark money into) apparently got a personal call from trump to run for the senate seat it's a unprecedentedly stupid situation where democrats are only succeeding because president deals is a loving idiot, and they're taking that as evidence of centrism being super popular so dumb

Willie Tomg posted:some dems will make gains in a few places but not enough to make a difference, both SUCC BLOC and demsoc types will take their meager gains as confirmation that their way is the only one, probably fueling a really big shithead to win the DNC nom on superdelegates and then 2020 is gonna be Rockabilly Nuremburg ah yes Both Sides

Typo posted:I genuinely think Trump might do the Clinton 94-96 thing and pass some poo poo the dems want like DACA and infrastructure if only so he can claim to be greatest bipartisan president in history this goes against trump's bargaining strategy of "never compromise or make any kind of deal, ever"
