Two Cents on Tonight

[Dark Powers]

     Just my take, and take it as that.

     It looks like the House is lost. It was for the most part expected. To narrow of margins that had to hold. Senate at this point is yet to be decided.

     With that said, this may work out to our advantage in the long run.

     How?

     2028. Going into that election if we held all chambers would work against us. Voters tend to hold the party in power more so responsible than the party that wrecked everything just a few years ago. Voter memory is as short as... oh look a squirrel!

     Back on topic, it shouldn't be hard to guess what the left will now do once they take control over the house. Immediate Impeachments of Sec Hegseth, Pres. Trump and soon followed by most of his cabinet staff and those who serve him. Pointless and very partisan investigation show trials.

     How does this work to our advantage? Voters are sending them back to power to do the work of the people and get cost of living back down. But the left has stated they don't intend to do any of that. Just "Get Trump!" at all cost. This will alienate voters going into 2028 just the same as it did before.

     Going into 2028 least with this will help give our side the excuse of least we spent two years trying to make things better only to have a Dem controlled House opposing everything. And having proof they did nothing when given the chance. This though it is making things harder now, could help make it easier to keep the White House in 2028 and get both chambers back under our control when we'll need it the most.

Here is one big takeaway of mine: Trump has idiots advising him, and the important GOP candidates from this cycle have idiots advising them and running their campaigns. And the Collins campaign ad dismissing Jackson for his logging background was a self-own. That's exactly the sort of demographic that Trump and other GOP candidates need to appeal to, and they fumbled. Badly.

Exit poll questions  had some insight.

Best issue for Republicans was immigration.  Even liberal voters viewed this low on priority to vote for them.

Best issue for democrats was conflict in Iran. This ranked very high as their priority.
