Thanks to Trump's incompetence, it looks like the GOP will lose the Senate and the White House in this upcoming election. Way to go trumpeteers, you have basically ruined the Republican Party's chances to win an election for years to come!

Why do people keep saying this? Trump will likely lose, quite bigly, but so did McCain in 2008 when the Democrats also won a super majority in the senate and a massive majority in the house.

James Carville and most of the left said the Democrats would hold onto a trifecta for the next 40 years.

2 years later Republicans won back the house, 6 years later the senate and 8 years later a trifecta of their own as Obama lost 1000 seats.

Maybe you should be careful about long term prognostications?

Trump rescued the Republican Party.

More leftist spam from someone that just likes to hear themselves talk. No facts, just a radical liberal opinion like they all are.

Don't forget to come back on here in a week and apologize when it happens.

This seems to be the conventional wisdom right now. I am not convinced, although quite hopeful. It is far too soon to gloat, for sure. And gloating is not a good look at any time, anyway.

they said the same thing when W Bush was President. He lost the house, the senate and the WH and guess what? Obama did the same thing too, he lost all 3. Clinton lost all 3. You need to take political history before you write posts if you think Pelosi and the democrats will keep 1 party control permanently.

Even if Biden wins, the mid-terms will swing right. Democrat party these days is far too fringy to be palatable to most Americans. If Biden wins, it's b/c the votes are AGAINST Trump - not FOR Biden or the Dems in general. I'm voting Biden. This country will be shattered with another four years of Trump. Gotta get him out. I don't mind Biden, I do not like Kamala - or the extremism of the far left, the SJWs, BLM and all that other crap.

Although, past 20 years or so I've voted blue, the looting and burning would have caused me to vote GOP if someone rational like Jon Huntsman was the GOP candidate. Dem Presidential win in Nov., if it happens and I am not anywhere near convinced it will, is hardly a harbinger of future party fortunes. Trumpers are rabid looneytune nutters. They WILL vote.

It shows that our country doesn't like 1 party systems and don't trust either parties with absolute power permanently. It always swings. Pelosi had control of congress under W Bush before she lost it under Obama and gained it again under Trump and will lose it again unless the progressive wing of the party forces her out first.
