House Republicans have propped up dozens of “Battle Stations” for voter outreach and get-out-the-vote efforts, particularly areas without Trump’s campaign infrastructure, and also report crowds of enthusiastic voters at events as Johnson traveled the country in the contested regions.

It is highly probable that this GOP infrastructure along with all the MAGA 'election monitors' are a ramping up of Trump's professed election interference.

“There’s a lot of handwringing going on and a lot of anxiousness about where this election is headed,” said Montana Sen. Steve Daines, a Trump ally who heads the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the campaign arm.

I don’t know why MAGAians are worried, donald has been brilliant in his speeches, windmills, Hannibal Lecter and electrocuted sharks are some of the key issues that voters care about!!!

And then there is JD……..

“He said voters want to elect “get-stuff-done incumbents”

I have been listening to the things Senator Vance says on the campaign trail, and they are the ravings of a lunatic.

Exactly!!!

Very true sir, but don’t forget windmills are the biggest threats to America!!

Oh, sorry. I should have been clearer.

That was a quote from marjorie taylor greene. A freedom caucus member running her mouth. I forgot the quotation marks.

Exactly!!!

Not worried, so exactly not sure what you’re talking about?

Very true sir, but don’t forget windmills are the biggest threats to America!!

You think Harris can possibly get support from any law enforcement agency in the U.S.?

On the GOP absolutely

How do you feel about her JD quote you mistakenly attributed to ‘the left’?

You walked right into that one, try walking backwards out of it.

MTG is "the left"

The GOP is likely to win the Senate (unfortunately), but not by much.

But it probably won't win the House or Presidency.

3 ( +4 / -1 )

Never, she doesn’t realize the threat windmills pose to America!

Ok, so no answer on how she would tackle crime or deal with the border, I see.

Absolutely, GOP women are wild about him!!!

They call Kamala worse

How do you feel about the quote the AP had to correct on JDV statement the other week?

Never walked into anything, however, the left walked into it big time because they once again, took another bullet hole to the undercarriage

I suggest you put your entire life's savings on the GOP winning the Senate, the House, and the Presidency. By a landslide!

So is Fallbrook, CA

--always has been. some of the crudest, redneck areas of the u.s.

Fallbrook as well, so uh, what’s your point?

Fallbrook is represented in the House by Darrell Issa, Republican.

So, uh, what's your point?

It will be close, but for any lib to think they got this in the bag is not dealing with reality.

maga are so easy to fool and so stubbornly resilient to admitting when they are wrong. 

Say the people that gave a…..uh..woman without any primary challenge a coronation and screwed their own voters and want to float this….individual without a single interview and pass her off as the prime candidate, yeah, easily fooled. ROFL!

Remarkable really.

Oh, but it is, it really is! lol

The race for control of Congress is as close as ever, with barely two dozen House seats and a handful in the Senate likely to determine the majority this November and whether a single party sweeps to power with the White House.

And the No 1 issue deciding who will win will be abortion...

An issue Repubs are all running away and hiding from...even our most fervent MAGA-posters here...

Life begin at conception? Any abortion after conception killing babies? Do you support Trump's latest FLIP saying he'd protect women's reproductive rights?

Puts them in a corner every time...

Of course! They had no choice, they got caught! ROFL!

So did you. Scroll up. You attributed an MTG quote to "the left".

ROFL!

As one of the most richest American Persian senator in Congress, he has enough money to keep him away from the lib donkey racists

So, uh, what's your point?

I just made it.

You mean Harris isn't an individual? Are you going back to the "slept her way to the top" line of attack?

Panicked and flailing.

Redistricting in several states will help the Democrats.

And the GQP did nothing but prove how utterly unqualified to govern it is.

And ANOTHER example of Trump's imploding mental capacity...

After his INCOMPREHENSIBLE explanation of what he would do for child care yesterday, he melts down today and can't remember his BFF Musk's first name...

"Former President Donald Trump, 78, seemed to have a brain fade as he mistakenly referred to Elon Musk as “Leon” at a rally on Saturday. “Boeing, I shouldn’t say anything there is a beautiful Boeing plane right there,” Trump told his Mosinee, Wisconsin crowd pointing to his Trump Force One. “But, ehh Boeing had a little hard time, so they are going to save—Leon is going to send them a rocket,” Trump added, referring to a plan from Musk’s SpaceX to rescue the two Boeing astronauts who are stranded aboard the International Space Station."

He ain't going to make it to Nov - he'll be in a "home" by then....

And Repubs know it - there's a reason Nikki Haley is still out there doing interviews...

Vance is essentially useless.

Historically, the vice-president, in terms of the election, does not have any impact. Virtually never has it mattered.

Sorry Bass, I did it again. I forgot the quotation marks. JD Vance said that.

Even Repubs, those with the guts to admit it, are acknowledging it looks bad for them in Nov...

"One member of the House Republican Conference isn't bullish on his party's chances to keep the speaker's gavel in Republican hands. Now, his colleagues are blasting him over his public pessimism about the November election. The Hill reported Saturday that comments Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) made during the Texas Tribune Festival are "making waves" among House Republicans. Multiple unnamed Republican lawmakers from swing districts that President Joe Biden won in 2020 say they wish Gonzales kept his prediction to himself.

On Thursday, Gonzales told Punchbowl News during a live Q&A session that his party's inability to govern despite being in the majority would cost them dearly this fall. He referenced House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer's (R-Kentucky) failed effort to impeach Biden as one example of his party squandering its control over the lower chamber of Congress.

"What’s frustrating me is I firmly believe that House Republicans are going to lose the majority — and we’re going to lose it because of ourselves," Gonzales said.

One Repub who sees the writing on the wall...there's lots more that believe that too, but just won't say it out loud...

Wait!! The Dems govern better? This should be interesting, gee, how so?

Stable leadership. When was the last time the Democrats needed 15 ballots to elect a speaker, toss him 6 months later, then pick a nobody back bencher because nobody else could get agreed upon?

Never.

Funding the government. When was the last time a Democratic majority threaten (and fail) to shut down the government and make essential workers work for no pay because they got their undies in a bunch?

Never.

When was the last time a Democratic majority threaten to default on the debt?

Never.

Legislating. the GQP passed precisely bunk. They accomplished nothing. If you include their wet-fart hearings that turned into nothing, they accomplished less than nothing.
