All signs are now showing the American People are fed up with Trump and MAGA policies. About 9 months to the midterms which could be a Democratic tidal wave.

Every midterms goes against the administration.
Democrats and Republicans suffer at the midterms.

Maybe if the Democrats stopped throwing weirdos into the campaign they could actually win.

Trump didn't win because he's Trump. Hillary and Kamala lost because they are Hilary and Kamala.

Get someone normal and center, who isn't afraid to call a man a man and a woman a woman and illegals illegals.

Then you will win the White House

It is devoutly to be hoped that Congress grows some balls and reclaims the powers and responsibilities entrusted to it by the Constitution.

I dunno, maybe Congress needs more ovaries!

All that pansy kneeling for George Floyd and the COVID lockdown crap made everyone think Congress are wimps.

They are and will continue to be

Let us hope so.

One word of caution; while the Democrats hadn't won that State Senate seat since the 1980s, turnout was fairly light - a little better than 1/3 of what it was in the 2022 last general election for the seat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Senate,_District_9

So it's still possible Wambsganss could win the rematch in November.

I read that she removed the words "trump supporter" from campaign signs and replaced it with Republican.
