My feelings are if Trump would’ve stayed out of the primaries and then endorsed the winner things could’ve been better but not great.

The only bright spot I see is my home state of Alabama, the GOP swept every statewide election. Hopefully the new governor will get the legislative bodies to redraw our 7 congressional districts. I used to be against the redrawing of districts to benefit a political party but looking at all of the blue in the northeast drawn to benefit the democrats I’ve changed my mind.

Abbott is (was) essentially a mouthpiece / figurehead for Republicans in Texas. Very little power. The most powerful office in Texas is the Lt. Governor, who sets the agenda for the legislature, and presides over the Senate.

Dan Patrick is (was) our Lt. Governor. Will now be Vikki Goodwin. Don’t have a clue who she even is, but that will be a much costlier loss than Abbott, IMO

Well, currently most states laws are written for incest purposes. That’s why I said boy because they can’t bring up incest.

I take that back in their world. A boy can have babies so maybe they would call that incest also

To this point the Railroad commission which controls Texas Oil, just went Democrat. I know nothing about them so maybe they are a moderate but democrats are not known for being pro-oil.

You are just as soft, clueless, and worthless, as those across the Atlantic.
If there was anyone that would make a good Russian citize or otherwise, that would certainly be you. Not much of a difference from where you are now.
That's a mindset that fits well in your wheelhouse, oh clueless one .
Insults from one such as you, aren't worth the paper it's typed on , sir ambulance chaser.

Your post reminds me of all the right-wing conspiracy theorist posts during Obama's second term. My favorite one was how president blackenstein was going to cancel the election in the fall [of 2016] and declare himself king. Honorable mentions go to:
1. Jade Helm 15 was a prelude to him declaring martial law,
2. After which the Obama admin confiscates all our guns and enslaves us all,
3. then grandma dies via one of the ACA Death panels, and
4. Lastly, the rest of us get put into FEMA concentration camps

Here's what actually happens: Congressional Dems waste a lot of time investigating Trump and his ilk for a lot of illegal shit they are doing...But surprise, we all already knew most of that. They'll do this thinking that Republican voters will actually care about what an immense piece of shit the guy is, but surprise again, they already do and don't care. The MAGA lemmings will vote for anything with an R after it's name.

@RLD Hey, man! When did you change your avatar, where and when did you get that nice buff and when are you going to write your report on the hunt?

We both agree to disagree on politics, but, c’mon! Don’t get stingy on us about your trip!

So will Democrats. Biden? Harris? Laughable candidates, both. Trump also an idiot but better policy. Rubio will sway the Hispanic vote in 2028 and be the next President.

Yup, the whole world but you are useless.

You are a delusional, hate filled dinosaur and the world is leaving you behind like most bad trash.

Arizona elected a Dem governor did they not? You really need to find a new home with your own kind. There are probably a few odd compounds left somewhere you won't be lonely.

I think Rubio has the potential to be a very, very good President. A proper conservative with high intelligence from what I can see.

I think Vance's chances took a beating yesterday, he is so tied to the Trump brand it will be very hard to escape that.

After last night election results, free advice for what it's worth, either nothing or priceless. You had better use your Unified Estate Tax Credit while you can.

Both would be good presidents. Vance has zero chance. Rubio, maybe. Both of them have the Trump brand attached to them, unfortunately. If the GOPs puts Vance up in 2028 they officially might be the dumbest, most self-destructive entity known. And I do like Vance. He's been quiet the last 6 months because the rumor is he is really add odds with Trump's policies. Putting him up against a Newsom, AOC, etc would be a sure loss and then we're in real trouble.

My wife and I are both GOP. My wife is a huge Trump fan for his policies on homeschooling, education, etc. This morning she finally said to me "He really threw it all away. So sad. Such a wasted opportunity."

And she's right. Epstein files? Probably could have recovered. Tariff mess? Kind of got through it. Starting a pointless, unwinnable war during a period of high inflation/COL and further destabilizing an already unstable region? That pushed it too far.

The only person more unhappy than Trump today: AIPAC. Bibi saying "we really don't need that $4B in aid" on the eve of midterms was way too little, way too late.

RLD said:

Interesting. I think Rubio would smoke an AOC or Newsom. If the Dems want to win they should be sprinting towards the middle. Their "progressive" wing is their biggest weakness.

And I have no clue what Trump or Bibi were doing with both that announcement and it's bizarre timing. It was too late to help (?) in the mid terms and it makes Bibi building a coalition much harder.
