You can thank the do nothing Republicans for it. Trump voters aren’t showing up to vote and why should they? Republicans have done nothing to help him or the country. They want to lose because they don’t like Trump

It's already proven in the last election that trump states lost house republican seats in places he won

It will definitely be worse this time. It was great seeing Trump come back and win this last term. But going forward, this country is democrat..

The demographics are changing whether we like it or not.

It they were in March, it’d be a slaughter.

If things are to change by November, the current administration better get to work fast…….

MyTrumpcuckins, you can stick your head in the sand or up his arse all you want, but things are not moving in your favor.

Don't really care about them. I my opinion it would have been better to use them to blackmail the GOPe into doing what is best for America and American citizens. Then as he's leaving office release them all.

Well gee, I think I will just stay home, all hope is lost.

That was not his message at all. He said “a lot can change”, and he gave an example of something that could change the momentum. He also gave a narrative of how we could weather this by holding the senate and making a comeback in 2028. So WTH are you talking about?

The vast majority of conservative voters that got Trump elected in 24 are still there. The narrative you see is from fringe idiots that the MSM is amplifying.

Those “fringe idiots” are the difference between a successful midterms and a blowout.

A lot of people let SDV and others influence them to the point of insanity

No they are not. They walked out the door when Trump said frick you, you're not getting a home.

Trump ran on a lot of America First desires and has effectively done the bare minimum.

Even Obama deported more people so far

But IF it happens this time, the left will call it unprecedented and shout it from the roof tops that the right is being destroyed and Trump is being rejected!!


Just like the right called it a rejection of Biden last time. And the left called it a rejection of Trump last time. And the right called it a rejection of Obama last time. And the left called it a rejection of Bush II last time. And the right called it a rejection of Clinton last time. And the left called it a rejection of Bush I last time...

Notice a pattern?

No clue why you youre getting down voted...a horrible midterm is very possible. Most people in know voted for and celebrated when Trump won.... just about all of us are underwhelmed w this term at best and embarrassed in some cases.

Say what you want but 1st term/campaign trump and 2nd term trump are 2 different people entirely.

Focus back on what got you here... affordability, tax cuts, spending reduction. Instesd of buying Greenland, starting new conflicts and.... Gulf of America?

I hope I'm wrong but I dont see it going well

Trump didn't say that. He said he didn't want to STEAL equity/value from people with a home and give it to those that would prefer to spend their money on things other than a home....

Now I will certainly say to you and anyone else, FRICK YOU if you aren't willing to make the decisions/sacrifices necessary to buy a home. It's not my responsibility to give up my hard work and equity so you can have a home.

Anyone who correlates Trump with Epstein has an IQ sub 90.

I know a lot can change in 10 months, but if the election was held today I think the GOP would lose the House by 20-30 seats and lose the Senate as well, even losing states like NE, OH, and AK.

I think the GOP should prioritize resources to defending as many Senate seats as possible as those last for 6 years while House seats are only for 2 years. Hopefully we can ride this out and not lose the Senate and then Vance can win in '28 and then the census redistricting will help the GOP comfortably control the House and Presidency in the 2030's.

We have got to find some way to change the narrative on the immigration front as Trump is getting slaughtered by the current media narrative. Not wishing anyone being hurt, but odds are some leftist will assassinate ICE agents in the next few months and hopefully the pendulum will swing the other way in public opinion then.



The key issue is GOP leadership (aligned with the DC uniparty) does not want to win.

Just a few things different this time...

One, we have been successful in removing gerrymandering and picked up seats.

Two, its the economy stupid. GDP grew 5.4% even with a govt shutdown. Wages are outpacing inflation consistently. Forget the "official" labor numbers, over 2.5 illegals have deported, yet the US is still adding job, thats one heck of a feat. That is the reason wages are rising.

Three. All the things Trump put in place to drive the economy are coming to fruition, unprecedented capital investment, manufacturing coming back to the US, on and on.

Four. Many many things have been put in place to stop the steal this time around. The way Fulton county is shatting in their pants with fed oversight, they might turn red (I kid), but many states have been forced to remove from voter rolls, polls will have more teeth.

Its your country, vote and get your friends and family to vote. America is back baby.

Blah blah blah

He effectively said he would do everything he could to prop up the Housing Market Pricing, even when its in a bubble.

Ergo, he's locking most people under 40 out of the housing market. Guess what? THOSE PEOPLE VOTE.

No he's not. They can purchase a house, they just may not be able to purchase THE house they want, IN the location they want, with ALL the options they want, requiring NO work be done by them on the house and FOR the price they want to pay...

My first house was not even 1/10th as nice as my parents house. It was a single wide trailer.

Losing the House is probable. The Dems need a lot of things to go their way to take the Senate.

The job market is just flat out bad right now (particularly for younger Americans) and is suppressing wage growth. Unless that trend reverses this year, the GOP is going to have a rough fall
