The only man with a shot to beat the algorithm.
May god bless him and keep him safe. I think assassination is the only option left soon.
You mean, outside of the all of the criminal cases and the fact that heâs been soundly rebuked for 3 straight election cycles?
Seems a little bit strong. Some Trumpian candidates won.
And the Dems holy grail (popular vote) went to Repubs this cycle.

It was the largest off year turnout of the party holding the Presidency in 40 years. You had 8% inflation and lost the Senate in an off year election. You barely, just barely, won the House. Abortion won a clean sweep in every place it was on the ballot. JD Vance won, but pretty much, from Kari Lake to Mastriano to BouldacâŚall lost.
You feel good about this?
Good work. Though, there wasnât a national popular election. Thatâs why we still have the same President.
If you want to feel awesome about the results, all you, bud. Iâm sure your entire GOP ecostystem freaking the fuck out, stating the GOP is dead, calling for dictatorshipsâŚall means nothing, right?
I donât feel great about it. The freak out is a little misguided though IMO.
There were a lot of local changes that went unnoticed on the National Level. People wanted change in their communities, and as I mentioned before, there were historically liberal school boards that flipped entirely. Thereâs something to work with there.
The GOP has some major problems going forward. No denying that. But it does ultimately come down to candidates and message and theyâve failed big time here.
Where they need to go from here in my opinion is as follows:
-
Get in the mail in ballot game. The Dems killed them here the last two cycles. If itâs the wave of the future, meet the Dems at their game. Mike Garcia won in California in a district that you wouldnât expect him to win. He told his supporters to get in their mail in votes. More community organizing by the Right would help. If you canât beat them, join them in that game.
-
The tech manipulation of what gets posted and what doesnât is a big problem. Real content is getting censored or suppressed when it doesnât fit a lefty narrative. Thatâs a problem. Google and Facebook and Tick Tok are issues that need to be addressed.
-
Run better candidates that offer solutions and donât focus on the past. Getting into the mud on the 2020 election and focusing on Trump clearly didnât help candidates.
-
I hate that big money wins these races but the Dems outspend the Republicans by a huge margin and it matters in terms of advertising. The Republicans have to commit more dollars to message because they are getting routed on the funding side.
The map never looked great for Republicans for the Senate for 2022. They should have done better there, for sure. But it was always an uphill battle given the seats to defend. 2024 and 2026 have more favorable maps.
But I do acknowledge the Repubs have a problem going forward as the Gen Z and X kids seem to want the government to just give them everything. Full on Socialist mindset
I sort of agree.
The thing about clear political losses is they galvanize the party. Sure, the winners talk smack and love every minute of their victory, but the losers are forced to adapt or die. And despite the constant barking about one party or the otherâs death knell, it hasnât happening in my lifetime and probably wonât.
So, in the end, the Pubs have a narrow win that FEELS LIKE a loss. Thatâs good on two counts, once for the win and the other to galvanize them for the next go around, ie. the presidential election aka the time that they really need it.
Just a clarification that the Pubs were in the mail-in ballot game first. It was the Dems who couldnât beat them and had to join them. Pubs pushed mail-ins heavily in the last 2 elections, even in Florida with covid. The Dems simply outperformed.
Interestingly, if Trumpâs 2024 announcement counts for anything, it seems heâs focusing on issues more than blame. Itâs a good strategy for him but I doubt that lasts long. The man canât go two days without resorting to his old tricks.
I agree with this. He tried to sound calm and really just came out flat. He didnât offer anything new or any real vision. I hope someone challenges him in the primary.
I know theyâve done mail in before. Iâm saying that they need to up their game in that category like the Dems have. Theyâve embraced the method and clearly use it to their advantage. The Republicans need to compete better in the community organizing arena.
Nope, thatâs simply untrue. Youâre upset because your party hasnât got a platform without lying. The lying gets fact checked.
Hereâs a secretâŚpeople donât like you. Thatâs why youâve lost over national popular vote except 1 in 32 years. Thatâs why you lose elections. Thatâs why your party has 3 optionsâŚsuppress the vote, gerrymandering and a dictatorship. You think it was by happenstance that no voter id law existed in the US before Obama in 2008?
Again, not true, easily verifiable.
You donât appear to have the slightest bother in looking up any of your opinions. Iâm curious, how, as a person, does it not bother you to be so ill informed so often? Itâs not esoteric knowledge. You literally have all of the knowledge of human history at your fingertips, yet you donât appear to ever look anything up.
100% incorrect. Sounds like a sore loser whoâs partyâs constituency is dying at 5000 a day.
Look up the major party spending in the races that matter and get back to me. How much was spent on Masters in the Senate race?
The Republican leadership didnât put the funds in those races like they needed to. Look at the key Governorâs races. Itâs the races on the margins that matter.
But I know you know that.
The Dems also have all of the free publicity of having the mainstream media being the arm of their party, so you are basically starting in the hole if you are Republican.
Thatâs pretty much an indisputable fact. But Iâm sure you will try to spin it otherwise.
Nah not at all. Itâs just facts. Kids being indoctrinated in school for decades by our crappy public education system.
The silver lining is that parents are taking notice and school boards are turning over. Itâs a great thing but it wonât change the picture over night.
Iâm cool being a minority opinion if thatâs reality. Iâm not changing my view to be in the majority.
But you can change hearts and minds with facts and logic. And with a fair and honest Big Tech.
This is the horseshit, dishonest way about you right wingers. You clearly stated the following:
Yet, when that was disprovenâŚeven by FOX News, you NOW want to ONLY talk about the races specifically you want. Now itâs just about Blake Masters?
OWN up to your words. You made a statement. That statement was proven wrong. Be a man. Own up. You were wrong.
Yet, itâs proven the GOP spent more than the DNC in the last electionâŚBUT NOW, you want to ONLY talk about the races where that didnât work out. Face it. People donât like you. Itâs not the mail in voting or magic beans. Youâre unpopular because your politics sucks and your party canât be honest in any way. Hell, you canât be honest on this single topic. I mean, why is it so difficult to just be honest?
You clearly said the Dems spent more. That was proven false. Why is it so hard for you to be even slightly honest?
Again, that is empirically false. The GOP fights basic reality that everyone can see. So, basic news reporting is considered biased by conservatives, because it doesnât conform with your bullshit. Dems use reality to then make policy. The GOP creates news networks to confirm their policies.
For exampleâŚyou have climate change. When 97-98% of all climate scientists on the planet agree and the news reports it and then people try to make policy to then combat itâŚyou consider that liberal media. You ignore the fact that your âconservative mediaâ disputes with 1-2% against 97-98%, of which several they used on the same bullshit they did when lying about smoking in the late 80s and early 90s. Does that ever ring into your brain, the fact that these groups built themselves on lying to you for decades?
Again, this isnât esoteric knowledge. McConnell straight up told the Senate that if they block tobacco regulations, Big Tobacco would fund all of their campaigns. They created Heartland JUST TO lie about smoking. Ever notice Heartland is the main one your guys use to dispute things like climate change too, and with some of the same âscientistsâ?
If CNN says water is wet, is it liberal media if Gateway Pundit says, nuh-uh, water is solid like a brick?
Thatâs whatâs happeningâŚthings you can visibly see are lies are still being pushed.
Not to mention Trinity, Salem, Newscorp in total own almost the entirety of the radio dial throughout the country, the largest grouping of local stations and the #1 24 yr new network in the country.
The problem isnât the media. Itâs that people donât like you and you and your party arenât honest. Pretty easy to see
See above. You have entire party built on disputing facts and logic.
I didnât read all of Wardenâs post. Too long winded.
But I just want to know if you really think the media (in general) isnât heavily favoring Dems?
Be honest. Facebook, Google, etc. Where are their loyalties and where are the dollars going.
When has Yahoo News posted a positive story on a Republican. Itâs negative towards Râs all the time.
But but but they have FOX right? Media is and has been in the tank for the Dems.
You should read his post as he provides you the answer.

What a faggot
Iâm glad you brought up climate change because this is the big hoax/scam. The main reason that those of us donât think it should be priority number 1 in our lives and a religion is that we donât think humans can do THAT much to stop it. Itâs not that the earth isnât getting warmer.
I believe that we are in a warming cycle. And I think we should be stewards of the world we are given.
But, I can think that and also think the climate hysteria and funds we are funneling to fight climate change are way overblown. You can have both thoughts.
And you can also acknowledge that is doesnât matter a damn bit if we do all we can and China still says screw you. You think the US alone can solve the issue?
Lunacy. But itâs a religion. And a money grab for some.
How many times does the 97% myth have to be debunked?
And even if it were trueâŚ. Letâs just grant it for a moment- 97 out of a hundred people who are wrong donât trump 3 people who are right.
Consensus doesnât equal truth. Science isnât and shouldnât be democratized.
Reality favors Dems, because Dems accept reality. Super basic.
With money. Their loyalties lay with money.
With Google, againâŚthe majority of your party platforms are not popular and/or built on overt lies. You being upset that hateful, racist, and dishonest sites get less play than verified, peer reviewed sites is moronic. Thatâs like saying the Encyclopedia is a liberal rag for discussing the actual events of slavery while Breitbart paints slaves as âimmigrantsâ isnât being represented as a point of view in the Encyclopedia.
Your party is built on lying to people on a daily basis. You can pretend its real, but the Dictionary wonât.
No, you have NewsCorpâŚowning Fox News, NY Post, Wall Street Journal, Investorâs Business Daily and the Dow JonesâŚWall Street Journal Europe, Wall Street Journal Asia, Barronâs, Marketwatch, Financial News, Heat Street, Mansion Global.
You have Salem Media, owning Salem Radio Network with 2400 affiliatesâŚSalem Web Network, and ISP of âChristianâ content and streaming with over 100 websites, Salem PublishingâŚowning dozens of magazines.
Salem owns 117 radio stations in 28 markets, including 60 in the top 25 markets and 29 in the top 10. They are the 5th largest radio broadcaster and also owns Townhall.com, Redstate.com, Hotair.com, and PJ Media along with Twitchy.
Trinity Broadcasting is the worldâs largest religious television network. TBN owns 35 television stations serving larger metropolitan areas and also owns 252 low powered stations. TBN also has several HUNDRED affiliates throughout the US. It was the 3rd largest over the air television group in the country in 2010, besting CBS, FOX, and NBC.
Worldwide, TBN broadcasts 70 satellites and over 18,000 television and cable stations.
You have Sinclair Broadcasting Group, the 2nd largest television state operator in the United States, owning and operating 193 stations across the country in over 100 markets and covering 40% of all American households.
As with most thingsâŚone has to have the integrity to not only look things up, but care about the reality of the topic. You, apparently, value neither.
