If Trump loses the senate for Republicans he's fucking done.
Forget NY attorneys, the GOP will send their own men to ruin him forever.

Trump Attacks GOP Governors, Retweets 'Why Bother Voting for Republicans'
- Thread starter Taka
- Start date
If you go to their site they are pushing the ga senate race but I also saw them backing yang so yeah
He should also be mad that Mitch kept telling him how great pushing all those judges was for him and yet they all ruled against his bullshit. Neither deserves the other's loyalty here.
Does anyone have any insights into how "real" this situation actually is, or is it really just the media hyping it up and wishful thinking?
He will definitely be holding the Republican primary hostage. He is basically freezing out all those so called 'young conservative stars" who been waiting. Which is why I find it hard to believe they all will continue to endorse him. They have political aspirations too, and realize your shot doesn't come around too often. The Rubios, Cottons, etc. want their chance to run for President.
They will complain again when they lose.
"how could this be? Why did nobody vote?"
Just like mail in voting.
"how could this be? Why did nobody vote?"
BECAUSE YOU TOLD EVERYONE NOT TO VOTE.

I mean, if recent years have taught us anything its that we cannot know "real" anymore.
It's real in the sense that people are legitimately putting out these ads.
It's real in that people like Trump and others are legitimately saying things like "why vote?".
It's real that there is likely a non-zero number of Trump supporters who legitimately believe this stuff because their "great leader" says so.
Will it make a difference "real" though? We'll have to wait for the results.
It really is that simple but, NOOOOOOOOOO, it has to be some grand conspiracy against them.
Good points. I'm trying to really temper my expectations given how the polls in 2020 (while largely right) were off by several percent in the battleground states.
The concern here is he'll hurt the Republicans enough that they cave and let him meddle in 2022 through to 2024. Like a battered wife.
Anyways, as an aside.
Trump sadly has locked in the dispossesed working class whites that have seen their jobs disappear and replaced with nothing. I am listening to Obama's new book and I'm struck how those very people were among his early supporters.
In many ways the way Republicans reacted to the 'cult' around Obama is in many ways how the Democrats are reacting to the cult around Trump. There's a thin line here and enthusisam for Obama's change message has transferred to Trump. The democrats need to figure something out here. Those voters aren't all irredeemable, but they don't like business as usual.

If Dem turnout remains the same in the runoff as the general, you need about 90k fewer Republicans voting to flip both seats.
This is the Snakes on a Plane of political campaigns. Huge on the internet that's not going to translate to the polls. GOP is absolutely coming out to vote, the only thing rank and file Republicans hate more than elected reps that are insufficiently deferent to Trump are Democrats.
Yes
Yea, Michael Moore had that great discussion around this post Trump's victory. I felt it was very accurate. People are so desperate for change that they'll take to the outlier, and in the case of trump they hoped a "businessman" who was beyond the political/financial reach (obviously false) would change everything. But the point being people want something different and to them the DNC and moderate republicans represent the same old system we've had for decades. They aren't entirely wrong, they're just idiots for entrusting it to people who's only motivation is to themselves.
Said this earlier, he's going to destroy the Republican Party and we should all welcome it. The more he talks, the more he fires up Dems and demotivates his base.
He won't win 2024 because the USPS will be firing on all cylinders again and we have better election security, thanks MIcrosoft.

You know where they lions? That big county, Africa! You know what's American? A moose!
Of course not, that ruined the sitting Republican president.
There will be no sitting Republican president running in 2024. Completely different.
Georgia is actually one of the only states where the polls were correct.
Democratic turnout will probably also be down since Trump has already been defeated and I'm guessing at least some GA voters turned out just for that. It depends on which party is able to hold on to more of the 2020 base. I'm a bit pessimistic on Ossoff's chances since he did basically lose.
Trump torching the rest of the Republican party on his way out is too much to wish for. I'm not going to get my hopes up. It would be the best possible outcome though.
This feels like a trap, typical GOP scare tactic on one side and false sense of inevitability for suppression on the other.
The GOP always consolidates, never a safe bet here. They'll show up and therefor Dems need to show up even more

If the Democrats actually take back the Senate because of these Trumpers, oh man. What a glorious day that would be.
Money AND pettiness go hand in hand with Donald Trump. He's made what, $150 Million since election day from donations?
He doesn't give a single fuck about Republicans and their party, they are a collective means to an end for him, like every business deal and every person he's ever dealt with.

Georgia Tech grad here, and I have nothing but absolute contempt for Kemp. Had it before, but he basically forced my alma mater (as a state university) to march to their doom this fall. Yes it ultimately boils down to fraternities and sororities going wild, no I won't stop blaming him because he could've stopped the last Georgia blowup by keeping the shit closed. And it was all for nothing because Trump still hates him anyway.
And him being a Bulldog only twists the knife further. He can get so absolutely fucked.
I don't care if this isn't actually from Republicans, very few people will actually ascertain the difference at that's all that matters. It's dirty as fuck but it doesn't come even close to the degree of fuckery they've allowed.
We in the goddamn Fumble Dimension now.
By no means do I advocate relaxing and not working our asses off, but I am beginning to wonder on the consolidation at this point. There are clearly Trumpers who are upset and tired of the Republicans who are too pro-democracy for their tastes, but it's really a matter of scale.
Traditional logic says that they are a vocal minority of the whole, but recent experiences tell us that we cannot accurately estimate the levels of crazy out there these days.
This is what I'm thinking.
Maybe not an intentional trap, but even so.
