We need to accept reality, so we can work to actually solve the problem. I also think too many of us are thinking very short-sighted.

Brother, we didn’t lose. Not like they’re saying. You really think Republicans stayed home when they added 1 million more votes from the presidential election? But the Democrats came up with 20 million new voters where their citizenship is not checked Have you not seen all of the irregularities?

I agree , we turned out the same numbers but I think some hinky voting was going on. I also think that the affordability suffered because of a mix of social media and sustained gas and groceries didn’t help.

Why didn't the Republican Congress do anything? Because of the Senate. John the buffoon had nearly 600 pieces of legislation sitting on his desk that never got a vote. He refused to fire Chucky's parliamentarian. Proforma sessions to prevent recess appointments The senate. Thune

Now you're telling the truth. You can only fix the problem if you admit the truth. But if you keep lying to yourself, you can't fix the problem because you don't know what the problem really is. But don't think for one second that I agree with you. I recognize when you tell the truth, though.

Are you sure these turds won’t nuke the filibuster?

Ehh, the chances of the midterms going the way it did was a 1 in 18.6 billion trillion chance and somehow happened.. Thats like you winning the PowerBall jackpot 3 times in row, with numbers you picked while getting struck by lightning all three time. I mean it possible, right

The Dems are going to nuke the filibuster anyway. The Republicans should have nuked it and implemented the DOGE cuts, then they wouldn't have lost voters to the economy. But what we really need it to expose ALL the Epstein stuff and take down all involved.

The democrats are nuking it anyways and they get all power, you think they won't do what they promised? Seriously, that is like you agreeing J6 was wrong but them promising to kill people isn't real. Thine should have forced a speaking filibuster. Make them ALL actually do their jobs and work. Not, this bullshit of "I'm going to rob you!" being phoned in so you drain you back account because a threat. Usually you have good takes. But they wanted to be lazy and pussy out. It took my senators forcing a vote to not just close and walk away. Yet who didn't flip? You literally show we need to stand up.

I can’t speak to your question yet but I know this - we need young men like you to run for office. The future is not with the republicans currently in office and it can’t be with the basement dwelling groypers.

MAGA/Republican Party is over. Losing midterms in a historic fashion. Trump talking about amnesty for illegals going back on his promise of mass deportations John Thune getting reelected Even Jim Jordan becoming House Minority Leader, MAGAs don't seem to like it because he's Israel controlled.

No, we lost the midterms because they were rigged!

Agree 💯 However, Dems may just nuke the filibuster regardless now. If they do, they will be the ones who pay later. The Save Act should have passed with bipartisan support. Why didn’t it? If the goal is to make it easy for illegals to vote, what are we doing?

True story! Republicans didn’t show up.

What make you think the Dems won't nuke it once they have power is the question ❓❓❓

Bullshit

The Dems came up with 20 million new voters! Republicans came up with 1 million new voters. This is their plan to take power and hold it forever in the United States. They think they’re righteous. They think we are the evil ones and that we are the bad guys. What happened in Germany in the 1930s is happening now in the United States of America.

Reality is the machines are designed to cheat in elections period

Correct!

OMG dude...that Moron Thune could have done so much or even TRIED...so you asked what could he do...Well here are the answers... 1 - He could have Nuked (or carved out) the legislative filibuster: Trump and many base voices pushed repeatedly for the “nuclear option” so bills could pass with a simple majority. Thune refused, stating the votes were not there AS USUAL.... He could have did his job...whipped harder, forced a public vote, or pursued limited carve outs (for example, on funding or specific priorities like the SAVE Act). The trade-off he repeatedly cited... Democrats would use the same rule change the next time they held the majority for statehood (DC/Puerto Rico), court packing, or other structural changes. That risk is now higher after the midterms flipped the Senate ANYWAY. 2 - Use budget reconciliation.... Pass certain tax, spending, or fiscal bills with only 51 votes under special budget rules (limited by the Byrd Rule to things that affect the federal budget). 3 - Negotiate with some Democrats....Try to find a few Democrats willing to support specific bills so they could reach 60 votes without changing the rules. 4 - Focus on nominations and confirmations....Confirm judges, agency heads, and other appointments (these only need a simple majority of 51 votes). This would have been SOMETHING he could have done!! 5 - Pass “messaging bills”....Bring up bills knowing they will fail, mainly to force Democrats to vote no and highlight differences for the public. 6 - Use existing procedural exceptions.... Look for limited ways around the filibuster that already exist for certain types of legislation (without fully eliminating it). 7 - Apply public and political pressure....Hold hearings, investigations, and floor speeches to build public support and pressure the Democrats 8 -Target smaller, narrower bills.....Break big proposals into smaller pieces that might have a better chance of getting some Democratic support. @Grok Is the above post accurate on What Thurne could have attempted to try on numerous Occasions?

Sorry. The math ain't mathin

We live in a bi-polar country now.

No

Not disputing your point. Yes party in power usually get beat up during midterms, but let’s see if those numbers are correct.

There are thousands of illegals that got SSNs from Biden. In Texas, no proof of citizenship is needed, only the last four digits of the SSN to register. At the voting place, your drivers license identifies you.

Come on you got more brains than that you know what the hell happened!!!! they cheated we all know it!!!!

@LeaderJohnThune, I found a supporter.

The issue is that when the dems can get around it they will take a sledgehammer to the government so what we should have done is to solidify it while we had power.

Man you are definitely working for a PAC.

You don’t think the Dems will vote to get rid of the filibuster?

very true - great post
