The RINO sect of the Republican Party can’t win anything. They proved that in 2020 when a true gladiator was pencil-whipped (or bot-whipped) by the team with the demented clown.
Then Republicans proved equally useless in the 2022 Midterms, when they allowed Democrats to win despite Biden’s unbelievably poor job performance in Year Two post-coup.
After 4 years of damn near excellence, Trump gets snubbed by Republicans who still refused to support him. Instead, they partnered with Democrats to destroy the man. Then they continued afterwards attempting to destroy Trump’s legacy and any chances of MAGA 2024. That partnership with the Dark Side continues.
For Republicans to handily defeat Democrats in the next election is so easy, even a Caveman can do it: back Trump.
Without RINO support, Trump has built a formidable Republican based I affectionately call “ReTrumplicans”, aka MAGA. And MAGA has become the most effective political party since the Tea Party. For all intents, MAGA is the Tea Party rebranded, something Trump excels at.
What most of MAGA finds incredulous is how the Republicans ignore Trump’s exploits. If anybody has turned the Republicans into the “big tent” party, it’s Trump. Come as you are.
Most notably, Trump has singlehandedly brought more of the Black vote to Republicans than all other efforts combined. He’s been backed by many well-meaning Black conservatives organizations, but anybody taking credit for the mass exodus of Blacks to republicanism is lying. We’ve bolstered his efforts for sure. But Trump is the man.
Red State points out that Democrats can’t win the Senate with Biden leading the ticket:
Democrats are in trouble with Joe Biden at the head of the ticket. Not only does Biden look like he’s in big trouble against former President Donald Trump, with Trump leading in most polls, but it also looks like the Republican chances of taking the Senate are rising as well.
Republicans are going in with what looks like a very favorable map.
It’s at 51-49 right now with a bare majority for the Democrats.
It’s simple math. Democrats must defend 20 seats.
Trump will win red states like Montana, West Virginia and Ohio, and he will help the down ballot Republicans win as well.
Democrats must hitch there hopes to three independents up for re-election who caucus with Democrats. However, Republicans only have to defend two seats that are even considered competitive, specifically Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL).
I’d be willing to lay serious odds right now that both those “likely Republican” seats are comfortably Republican.
Additionally, Democrats were dealt a serious blow with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) opting out for another term. Popular Republican Gov. Jim Justice will run for the vacated seat. I predict that Republicans will gain this seat, so the Senate future is a 50/50 lock if all stays status quo.
Flip one seat, and Republicans flip the Senate.
The former Republican Gov. Larry Hogan of Maryland is either tied or leading Governor Brown with possible Democrats in a recent poll conducted for that race. If Republicans put any effort in this seat, the potential is huge for a flip.
Next, Montana. How this state ever had a Democrat governor is beyond me. But Republicans have targeted Jon Tester, putting their chips all in for Tim Sheehy.
If they can take out Tester or Sen. Sherrod Brown (D) in Ohio, they’ll be at 51. Both seats are considered “toss-ups” by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, along with Arizona, where a three-way contest may take place among Republican Kari Lake, Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) — if the incumbent chooses to run for reelection.
While both Tester and Brown have always managed to fight back the competition, they are used to facing the old Republican guard, aka the Uniparty. Trump understands the importance of this election, and not just for the presidency. I predict the ReTrumplicans will knock off one or even both of these Democrats.
Arizona is an enigma, because the Republicans are heavily divided. The McCainites remain entrenched, though they have lost ground to ReTrumplicans. As the ghost of John McCain continues to fade, so will the RINO element. Also, it’s a strong three-way race, which makes it difficult to set the betting line.
If Democrats can’t cheat, Gallego has no shot. But the RINO Republicans in Arizona are spoon routinely with the Democrats. So another cheat is possible. I wouldn’t count on any changes positive for Republicans, though I don’t count them out.
Tough road for Democrats
Joe Biden has been a one-man wrecking crew for the Democratic Party. And things won’t improve over the next few months. Bidenflation, border invasion, multiple wars, and brewing scandals will impact Democrats for some time. Hopefully Republicans will coalesce and end this Leftist reign of terror.
Republicans should embrace Trump. But they also need to ditch Mitch.
