My prediction regarding the R68's is that once R46 retirement is done, some of the lower numbered R68's that are still running on the D line will be retired and stripped for parts to keep the higher numbered sets running. This will likely start happening next year.

There's no way that the Republicans will flip Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, and New Hampshire two years after losing Texas, Mississippi, Kansas, Iowa, and South Carolina. If they didn't have anything to run on in 2026, they certainly won't have anything to run on in 2028.
🚨 BREAKING OVERNIGHT: Democrats OFFICIALLY achieve 56 Senate seats with Mary Peltola (D) winning Alaska, which solidifies the 2028 GOP path requiring NEW HAMPSHIRE (or some other blue state) to even TIE the US Senate 🔴 Win presidency 🔴 Ohio 🔴 Arizona 🔴 Nevada 🔴 Georgia 🔴 Pennsylvania 🔴 New Hampshire 🔴 Hold Wisconsin, North Carolina, Alaska, Florida, Iowa and Tennessee special That's what Republicans now need — TO HIT 50-50, with a VP tie breaker Not a good situation. Republicans need major comebacks starting now!

Why couldn't he just wait for the next train? The Piccadilly Line runs every 2-3 minutes.
I've never seen such bad luck 😵

John Thune did not lose those 9 Senate seats. All blame lies with Donald J Trump and JD Vance.
Chuck Schumer wins 9 senate seats for his party, and he gets challenged for senate leader. John Thune loses 9 senate seats for his party, and he gets re-elected overwhelmingly. Both political parties are absolutely inept!

He SHOULD sit out. He has no personality trait other than the fact that he's Trump's 2nd VP.
JD Vance seriously considering sitting out 2028 presidential race after midterm wipeout — CNN

It's easy to talk big like this when you're preparing to enter the minority.
Incoming Whip Tom Emmer just put Democrats on NOTICE: “Enjoy this honeymoon phase... come January 3, 2027, you will REGRET ever putting your name on a ballot!” Dems may take the House, but President Trump holds the veto pen. Nothing gets past him. Get ready to take it all back in 2028! 🇺🇸🔥

It's fuckin crazy that they're now putting together an agenda on behalf of the American people after they got their asses handed to them last week!!
🚨 NOW: Incoming House Minority Whip Rep. Tom Emmer (R) just WENT OFF "To our colleagues on the left, enjoy this honeymoon phase because come January 3, 2027, you will REGRET EVER putting your name on a ballot." "House Republicans will put forth an agenda that speaks directly to the American people, policies that actually lower the price of goods, increase wages, create affordable housing, and give every American the opportunity to build their American dream." 🇺🇸 "This Republican leadership team will expose the Democrats' lies and show the American people their true colors as the radical communists that they are!" "We will expose every empty promise that they made to voters. We will expose Democrats' economic agenda that will make housing, food, gas, and healthcare MORE expensive." Good, because AMERICANS FIRST is the only way to win in 2 years from now! We have MANY seats to flip back January 3 is when the new Congress is sworn in and Democrats take control of the House easily. Republicans still hold the White House and President Trump's veto pen. Nothing gets past Trump's desk without him!

He should have been chosen to be Speaker during the last two years of Sleepy Joe. Now that they got cremated, they finally woke up and made him their leader. Thank fuck!!
BREAKING: Rep. Jim Jordan wins the vote to become House Republican minority leader in the 120th United States Congress, putting the Ohio congressman in charge of the GOP’s fight to regain control of the chamber. House Republicans selected Jordan following their defeat in the midterm elections, choosing a longtime Trump ally to lead the party as Democrats prepare to take control. The decision comes as Speaker Mike Johnson plans to step aside from leadership.

Considering how long it's taking to declare a winner in Alaska and Mississippi, I'm glad that we're not waiting on those two states to tell us which party will control the US Senate.
🚨 BREAKING: MARY PELTOLA EXPANDS HER LEAD IN ALASKA! 🔥 Democrat Mary Peltola now leads GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan by 2,517 votes, up from just 637 votes earlier! With ballots still being counted, Peltola’s lead is growing in one of the nation’s closest Senate races! EVERY VOTE COUNTS! 🇺🇸

Months ago, they didn't think that they would be beaten so badly. I don't think that either of them are willing to run, win, and be a lame duck on day 1.
RUBIO: I'm not going to talk about 2028 any longer. I'm just not going to talk about 2028 anymore. You ready? I'm not going to discuss 2028. I'm not going to discuss it in any form or fashion REPORTER: But why discuss it months ago and not today? RUBIO: Because I have that choice

He may very well be correct. The American people are not going to elect a GOP President and a Democrat Congress. Besides, they have nothing to run on!!
Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) says that 2028 will be a very negative environment for the GOP.

I don't get why this is difficult to understand: @realDonaldTrump cannot run again in 2028. End of discussion!!
JUST IN: A Trump judicial nominee was asked point blank: is Trump eligible to run for a third term? Their answer: “I would have to review the actual wording…” Sen. Chris Coons then asked every nominee in the room to confirm the Constitution bars a third term. Silence. Every single one of them refused to say it. Trump is appointing judges who won’t affirm the 22nd Amendment to his face. Never stop connecting the dots.

Who the fuck does he think he is?!?
Punchbowl News: Speaker Mike Johnson says that voters made the wrong choice last week “Sorry that voters made the wrong choice. I really do believe these next two years is gonna be a bit of circus, it’s going to be chaos and I hate to say that, but I think that’s where the Democrats are going to lead the House.”

If the Republicans won(or narrowly lost) Trump would have been prancing around taking all the credit. Since they lost in resounding fashion, he's refusing to take any of the blame. So the natural excuse is to blame John Thune. The Republican party is collapsing in real time!!
Making John Thune Leader of the Senate was a HUGE mistake. He cost us the midterms.

Idk why Fox News is so obsessed with lowering gas prices all of a sudden, when their buddies in the Congress sat by and did fuck all as Trump dragged us into war!!
"How does impeaching Donald Trump lower gas prices?" Ro Khanna: "Well, it would prevent him from continuing this war." "He's been impeached twice, and he is the president right now."

Anyone with this mindset needs to fuck off!! Don't replace it if it's not broken!!
Hot take, but if you are over 25 and still using an Android phone, you are actively telling the world you’ve given up on financial success. It’s not about the green bubbles, it’s about the mindset. iPhones are for networkers and high earners. Buying an Android shows a lack of ambition and a preference for cheap alternatives. I won't even reply to a text if it’s green.

We have a white guy telling us that ICE is the solution. What the actual fuck, Nick? Have you learned nothing? Why do you think Texas flipped every statewide office? Why do you think Republicans lost in Kansas, the Carolinas, and Ohio? (and probably Alaska as well)
🚨 BREAKING: President Trump says he may have gone "TOO FAR" on deportations, despite the fact that's literally the ONLY ISSUE Republican voters won by FAR in the midterms Stephen Miller needs to CLEAN HOUSE of advisors, because this is a HORRIBLE take. WITHOUT DEPORTATIONS, OUR COUNTRY IS GONE. PERIOD. ICE IS NOT THE PROBLEM. THEY'RE THE SOLUTION.

The solution isn't to double down, unless we want to lose even more seats in 2028.

For most of Reagan's presidency, he had the Senate but not the House. After he lost the Senate, he didn't throw a tantrum, and continued working with Democrats whenever he could. This led to his VP being resoundingly elected President in 1988.
2 days after losing the 1986 midterms, Reagan signed an amnesty deal with Democrats The "deal" granted citizenship to 2.7 MILLION illegals, turning California permanently blue We better not repeat this mistake

If Trump wants his successor to be another Republican, he will have to do what Reagan did. Is he capable of that? Probably not, but time will tell.
